Mistaken identities, bizarre accidents, physical comedy, tragic histories, and plenty of broken hearts—and that's just the beginning! Love Mode follows the intertwined lives of the men connected to the high-class male escort agency, Blue Boy. Romantic lines cross and reconnect, friendships form and shatter in this boys' love classic. Sakashita Izumi, a typical straight high school student, finds himself in a compromising situation with gay translator Takamiya Katsura after being mistaken for an escort named Izumi from B&B (Blue Boy). They go on a date, Takamiya sleeps with the young Izumi, and the older man falls in love with him. There's just one small problem: Izumi is somewhat homophobic. Will he eventually come to accept what he fears? Reiji, the owner of B&B and other shady clubs (and seemingly not gay), discovers his girlfriend has been cheating on him—right after he dumps her. He then encounters a young high school student named Naoya, who has no family, no money, and no trust. At that moment, Naoya is knocked unconscious by a pot dropped on his head by Reiji's vengeful ex-lover. Feeling guilty for his indirect role, Reiji accompanies the boy, only to find that Naoya is now homeless because his apartment burned down. In the end, Reiji takes in this "stray cat."
