In order to fulfill the "rehabilitation" imposed upon him and save people from the wicked desires of the world, the protagonist becomes a Phantom Thief of Hearts, but how will he change the hearts of corrupt adults? While this story overflows with mystery and thrills, there's also exhilarating action and a sensitive depiction of the psychology of a group of young men and women as they forge deep bonds of friendship and grow together as people. This is the first installment, performed in December 2019.
