"W no Higeki" is an adaptation of a novel by Natsuki Shizuko, which was first published in 1982.

She has always lived in comfort, but yearns for freedom. The other character is Satsuki, a lowly cleaner in a show pub who lives in solitude and destitution, and would do anything to get money, including prostituing her own body. One day, they met and decided to exchange lives.
