Trivia

Protagonist

Believe it or not but there is this huge controversy over if the main character Lau, modeled after the Japanese pop singer Gackt Camui, is a man or a woman. Many people say man obviously for his voice and his name. Others say woman because of his looks. In the end, Lau is really a man.
