A fortune teller said she'd shine only at night—now she's hunting crowns and catching feelings.
The legendary Roppongi cabaret club “Red Dragon” revives for the third time! Led by the unyielding number-one cast member, Karen, who was headhunted from Kabukicho, the club’s hostesses are once again making men dream tonight. Supporting them is the new cabaret hostess, Mikase, who has long dreamed of one day toppling Karen from her throne as cabaret queen and rising to the top herself. A year ago, Mikase—a college student struggling with job hunting—was scouted into the nightlife by the president, Kurosaki, during an interview. A fortune teller roaming the night streets foretold her destiny, saying, “You can only shine in the night world.” Before she knew it, Mikase found herself at “Red Dragon,” the club Kurosaki introduced her to. For a year she has been striving to become the absolute cabaret queen like Karen. In Mikase’s eyes, men have become nothing more than stacks of cash… that is, until that man appears―.
