Call Me Tonight

Rumi is a sharp, resourceful high school girl who runs a late-night hotline. She is drawn to Ryo’s secret and uses a bold, unafraid approach to guide him toward self-control, even as she seduces him as part of her plan. Her empathy and determination drive the story, and she ultimately acts as both catalyst and confidante for the couple’s emotional journey. Her actions raise questions about consent, manipulation, and care in extreme situations.

Hayata is a loyal yakuza henchman who follows orders and remains wary of the couple’s dangerous path. He acts as a tense observer who informs the pursuit and warns others about threats. His practical pragmatism contrasts with the more romantic and reckless impulses around him.

Ryo is a shy, pulp-horror aficionado whose body mutates into a monster when aroused. He is torn between fear and desire, struggling to control the transformations with willpower. His burden is intensified by an alien entity that seeks to feed on lifeforms, ultimately forcing him to battle the entity to protect those he cares about.

Maki is a yakuza-affiliated woman who loves pulp horror and witnesses Ryo’s transformation. She uses blackmail to control Rumi and orchestrates the kidnapping, showing a ruthless and calculating side. Her actions reveal a dangerous blend of fandom and crime.

Oyuki is Maki’s twisted sukeban sister, a classmate of Rumi who is drawn to power and control. She manipulates events to get closer to Ryo and orders the abduction, showing how rivalry and ambition can warp loyalty. She later hints at transforming herself, suggesting a cycle of danger.
