They may look like bad news, but these rough-and-tumble guys are the helpful Iberico Pigs, a local trash pick-up gang! When Yoshimune, the Pigs' second in command, gets involved with fellow member Genji, what starts as a casual friends-with-benefits situation turns into so much more. Even though their days spent together are filled with laughter, banter, and easy intimacy, the stoic Genji doesn't understand why Yoshimune still seems to be pushing him away. But when a figure from Yoshimune's past interrupts the easy rhythm of their relationship, tensions rise to the surface as darker secrets are revealed.
In a comedic, tender, and sometimes deadly serious tale of high school trash pick-up gangs, environmental conscientiousness, and real-life mobsters, Iberico Pork & Slave of Love follows the mutual support and growing heartfelt feelings between unruly young men.
