Yahoo, a NEW review from me in a very long time, haha.  Been busy with work last year and so haven't written any review.  This story is a perfect example of oyaji seme x tsundere uke (゜U ゜), haha...just what I love the best.  Shimano is the son of the firm owner and is working inside the firm to gain experience.  He is smart, handsome, and rich but he actually works hard (so it's not the fool who's just hanging around).  Everyone respects him in the company but not Kurokawa, his superior, who seems to be pouring things for him to do. This Kurokawa is a funny guy because though he is very good at his job, in private he is messy and behaves like an old man occasionally.  One night after meeting with the client, Shimano missed the last train and Kurokawa invited (more like forced though) Shimano to his small and filthy apartment.  Shimano complained about being cold and so Kurokawa hugged him as if he were a pillow ^_^;;.  That probably was the first time when Shimano began to have feelings for Kurokawa (because the latter looked very lonely).  Kurokawa actually got married but divorced two years ago.  Story becomes quite generic afterwards ... Shimano was refused by a client and Kurokawa was there when he was depressed and then he fell in love but felt troubled because of love.  Then came Kurokawa's ex-wife who's pretty, extremely intelligent, and looked good with Kurokawa.  Of course, it's a happy end ...at least at the end of the first volume but Shimano was actually surprised to find that Kurokawa knew him for a long time...long before he started working in the firm...

Even though the kanji should read Renai Sousa, the actual title is Renai Control because that’s how it’s romanized. Among the manga I have read lately, this is my favorite manga. This is a link work to Anata no tonari ni suwasarete and though you can understand this story without reading the prequel, it’s HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you read the prequel as well because that will double the fun.

In the prequel, we were introduced to Yamashiro Kei (CV: Narita Ken), an extremely handsome interior designer (with glasses), who was Takamiya Shinjin’s (the furniture designer) close friend. He seemed to have interests in Jin (CV: Ishikawa Hideo) but since Jin already found someone he loved - a cute 19 year-old college student Yoshino Azumi (CV: Shimono Hiro), Yamashiro was left alone with nothing but his work. In the meantime, he was actually working for the owner of a chain restaurant Okumura Takashi (CV: Konishi Katsuyuki). Okumura was interested in Yamashiro since their first meeting but it was not easy to woo a cool beauty as Yamashiro, especially when the latter’s pride could reach the moon (by Shiki (CV: Kamiya Hiroshi), Okumura’s nephew). Okumura tried really hard seducing Yamashiro but the latter did not respond according to his wishes.

Here are a few memorable scenes in the manga:
1) Okumura asked Yamashiro to design his house and so Yamashiro went around the house taking pictures of the layout. When he was done, Okumura was sleeping like a baby. At the lift, Okumura seduced Yamashiro to stay longer but the latter remarked that if Yamashiro were so tired he slept like a baby, maybe he should get some sleep. Then in the lift, he burst into laugher.

2) Okumura kissed Yamashiro for the first time but instead of blushing or looking shocked, Yamashiro just cooly said he thought Okumura’s kissing skills would be better than THAT. Then in the lift, he panicked.

3) In the snow, Okumura was waiting for Yamashiro and finally Yamashiro confessed his true feelings (but still retained his pride).

4) When Yamashiro looked at the glass and saw his own reflection, he suddenly realized how deeply he had fallen in love. He panicked and fled and then started to build up a distance again.

5) The last breakdown when Yamashiro finally confessed all his feelings to Okumura (extremely sweet).

Kachou no Koi is a revolutionary drama CD because it is based on a collection of 4 coma manga.  The story revolves around the life of a 33 year old kachou (head of the department) Kazuhiko (CV: Okiayu), who has never been able to have dramatic, romantic love, after a tragic past affair.  Also, for 33 years he did not recognize his own sexual orientation despite the fact that he did not have much interest in women, as reflected from the absence of women in his poster or desktop wallpaper and his habit of frequenting a gay bar.  However, all begins to change as he gradually falls in love with the innocent and extremely cute colleague - Harada (CV: Nojima).  The two gradually began to fall in love but of course there are challenges along the way, especially the problem of who’s the seme and who’s the uke.  Finally, the couple overcome all these problem and got married *O* (yeah, in a gay bar).  Along the way, we are also introduced to the owner of the gay bar - Mama (CV: Konishi) and the doctor who disliked homosexuals (and who examined Kazuhiko), Emoto (CV: Shibuya).   In addition, there is also the "gay of gay" and haraguro (double personality) Kumakai (CV: Kamiya), Chappi (CV: Itou), the wicked toy that appears to be cute and innocent but can say the most ridiculous and filthy words and hates females, as well as the good subordinate Itou (CV: Hirakawa).

The story "Kirai Naranai dene" and "Akuma no Ronrigaku" are actually linked together and span across 3 CDs. In this synopsis, I will cover "Akuma" story that is captured in the second half of the second CD and the third CD.

The relationship between Maki (CV: Midorikawa Hikaru) and Souhei (CV: Hoshi Souichirou) frustrated Taishi (CV: Suzumura Kenichi) because he did not think it is right to be "homo" and he detests all homosexual relationships. However, while his brain rejects it, his heart seems to be drifting in the other direction as he is less capable of blocking the charm of his friend Touichirou (CV: Yusa Kouji). This gradually emerged as Touichirou teased Souhei for going to a honeymoon with Maki but Taishi did not react with his usual "this leads to the end of the world" argument. The phone then rang and the "ero homo" Ijuin (CV: Okiayu Ryuutarou), without even greeting started to plunge into his egoistic and arrogant dialogue ^^;;. This pissed Taishi (who picked up Touichirou’s phone as the latter fled from the aftermath of teasing the short-tempered and violent Souhei) to no end and of course he just scolded Ijiun and hung up.

However, this was only the beginning as the next day, Taishi found himself approached by a strange kid from the same school as Ijiun by the name Otowa (CV: Matsuno Taiki). The kid tried to persuade then threatended (by saying they got Touichirou) Taishi to follow him. Of course, innocent as Taishi, he would follow and thus he was forced into the "game" set by the Ijiun. Basically, in this game, they had to catch all the members before 9 p.m. or they would lose the match. Touichirou was quick to first access the school’s database and found some secrets in drive F. He then forced out the password (with a kiss ^^;;) from one of the team members and copied the information to a MO disk, which he entrusted to Taishi. In the meantime, Otowa made an announcement that he wanted people to leave Taishi to him as he wanted Taishi. While the two were on the run, Taishi told Touichirou about how his mother once said his face was beautiful and reprimanded him for hurting such a beautiful face. He got his looks from his father, who was a womanizer (not surprising with such a gorgeous appearance ^^;;). While Taishi was reflecting on how his mom praised his face, he found Touichirou staring at his face and said he is beautiful. (This is probably one of the best moments in the whole drama). Then, Otowa caught up with them and Taishi sacrificed himself to save Touichirou. Taishi was caught and beaten up by Otowa (probably more were about to happen had Ijiun not stopped Otowa).

In the meantime, someone announced through the school’s broadcasting system that Touichirou was unconscious and probably dead. This attracted everyone’s attention to the place where Touichirou was. However, when they arrived, it was pitch black! Turned out that Touichirou set a trick to capture Ijiun and his members. So, in the end, Touichirou won the game (and the heart of Taishi) as well. His reward? A wonderful night in bed with Taishi and more chances to tease this guy who still seems to believe that homosexuality leads to the end of the world.
