Hard-Boiled Mania (1999)
Koichi, a male host, is obsessively devoted to achieving the perfect soft-boiled egg. A year ago, he and his colleague Kazuma met three mysterious men at a gym, forming a relationship that defies easy explanation. Among them, Koichi becomes drawn to Ebizuka, who teaches him the art of perfect egg preparation—turning it into a strangely intimate ritual between them. At the same time, a series of unexplained disappearances begins to surface, all seemingly connected to these three men. As unease grows, Koichi is drawn deeper into the mystery—can he uncover the truth behind it all?
