Summary:

"Four Black Japanese gay men team up to exact revenge in a culture where discrimination is deep-seated. A searing, darkly funny debut from the Akutagawa Prize-winning author. Nobody at the corporate offices of Athletius Japan knows much about the massage therapist, Jackson--but rumors abound. He used to work as a model. He likes to party. He's mixed race-half-Japanese, half-somewhere-in-Africa. He might be gay. Fueling the gossip is the sudden appearance of a violent pornographic video featuring a man who looks like a lot like Jackson. When Jackson serendipitously meets three other queer mixed-race guys, he learns he's not the only one being targeted. Together they concoct a plan: find out who's responsible and, in the meantime, switch identities and play tricks on people--a boyfriend, a boss--who've wronged them, exploiting the fact that nobody can seem to tell them apart."--Provided by publisher.
