Plot Summaries:

This series revolves around the lives of rent boys at the ladies clubs Schnapps, where TAKAAKI and SHINKAWA work, and the newly opened Rusty Nail, owned by IWAKI, Takaaki's mentor. Iwaki and Shinkawa are rivals for Takaaki's affections. - reviewed by MEverdark

Remarks:

Unlike Otoko ga Otoko o Aisuru Toki, which was a compilation of loosely related short stories, Last Waltz follows one story all the way through, with a side story at the end of Vol. 2. The length allows NITTA to actually build an interesting story and explore some of her characters more throughly. While Otoko ga Otoko o Aisuru Toki introduces the main characters, it is not required before reading Last Waltz.
