Masashi 九曜雅司(CV: Konishi Katsuyuki ) is strong, good-looking and #1 host. However, he has no idea that he will fall in love with a cute worker at a pet store at first sight. The name of the worker is Takahashi Saki 高橋沙希(CV: Yoshino Yukihiro)and he loves animals. He wanted to become a vet but his family is quite poor and he could not afford vet school. So, he worked in a pet store instead but he is still frequently bothered by financial troubles from home.
Masashi then came to the store and confessed to Saki that he liked him and wanted to go out with him *O*! Of course, Saki thought it was a joke or something and was annoyed because Masashi asked how much would it cost to get him. However, Masashi was quite patient and came back day after day. Later, Saki got a phone call from home saying they urgently needed a hundred thousand yen. Saki then thought of Masashi and agreed to go out with Masashi for 100,000 yen! Masashi then brought Saki home and they xxx. However, the next morning, Saki realized that his feelings toward Masashi was beyond what he initially anticipated and he decided he could not trade s*x for money. So, he left Masashi while the latter was still asleep without taking the money. Masashi found it strange that Saki would leave without taking the money. He wondered if Saki liked him just a bit and he talked to his friend and rival at the club Reiji 麗一(CV: Chiba Susumu). At the same time, Hikaru 光(CV:Yusa Kouji ) was jealous of Saki because he liked Masashi but the latter’s attention was fully given to Saki. As a result, he spread rumors so that the customers of Masashi went to the pet shop and made a fuss there. He also went to the pet shop and warned Saki that Masashi’s obsession with him would threaten Masashi’s successful career. As a result, Saki left the petshop to work in a more dodgy pet shop to avoid Masashi. Masashi was nervous as he couldn’t find Saki anywhere. Finally, after a lot of trouble, Masashi found Saki just in time to save him from being sexually harassed by the owner of his new work place. At the same time, Hikaru was also reprimanded for his behavior and being brought away by Reiji ^0^!!

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).

Yakumo 八雲 (CV: Taniyama Kishou) was still an elementary school student when he first partnered with Rin 凛 (CV: Kishio Daisuke) who was three years older than him to form the popular group "Crow", which was managed by Momokawa 桃川 (CV: Kamiya Hiroshi). Eight years later, Yakumo became extremely popular and was even casted as the hero in an action film while Rin was cute and featured as personality in many variety shows. Rin was secretly in love with Yakumo but he could not express his feelings and he could only go to Shuugo 修吾 (CV: Konishi Katsuyuki) for advice in these situations. Shuugo used to compose songs for Crow but he had to leave them for another job. Yakumo (who turned out to like Rin as well) became jealous of the relationship between Rin and Shuugo until he finally found out that Shuugou was nothing more than an advicer (^_^;;). The two’s feelings reached each other and they were happy for a while. Things heated up again when Rin wanted to ask a famous member from the pop group "Eternity" Miki ミキ (CV: Okiayu Ryuutarou) to compose songs for "Crow". Hence, before their performance, Rin and Yakumo went to see "Eternity"’s performance and there, Rin met Miki. However, Miki kissed Rin at their first meeting and this really pissed Yakumo off! Rin could not understand why Yakumo made such a fuss over a kiss when they were in the idol business but Yakumo said he did not want Rin to be kissed by another person and if Rin did not like it, he would refuse to act out the kissing scene in his movie! After the fuss, the two made up again and went on dating. The two wanted a quiet date but they kept on being recognized by their fans and had to escape. They also went to see the movie in which Yakumo played the main lead. All seemed to go well for the lovers, at least for now.

This drama is based on the second volume of the Kareshi series. If you have not heard the first volume Kareshi Irimasenka, I suggest listening to it before you listen to this one. Of course, we all hope the last volume in the series, Little Romance will also be dramatized ^o^! Recall in the first drama, Yuuji (CV: Suzumura Kenichi) picked up the handsome Itsuki (CV: Konishi Katsuyuki). However, there was a little trouble when Yuuji’s cousin Wataru (CV: Miyata Kouki) arrives and tries to steal Yuuji back. To no avail, he discovered new love in the owner of the convenient store where Yuuji worked - Kazuto (CV: Sugita Tomokazu). Since the second part of the first drama, Wataru and Kazuto lived together but and things went "pretty well" until Wataru found that since their first H, Kazuto never touched him. He began to wonder if he lacked charm ^_^;; (he’s a kid, remember). Therefore, he tried various means to seduce Kazuto *O*! However, none of them succeeded ;_; and so he became depressed. His best friend Katsumi (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke) began to notice the change in Wataru. He did not want to see Wataru upset and he confessed to Wataru but was rejected because there was someone else Wataru loved. Katsumi then went to search for this someone and when he met Kazuto, of course the atmosphere was terrible x_x. That night, as compensation for Wataru’s failure to return his affection, Katsumi dragged Wataru to the red light districts but Wataru was so touched by Katsumi that he started crying aloud ^_^;;. Itsuki and Reiji (CV: Ueda Yuuji) picked the two boys and sent them home. On the other hand, when Kazuto heard Wataru was dragged away by Katsumi, he was so worried he fainted *O* (how old are you really…Kazuto vv). Of course, in the end Wataru returned to Kazuto’s side and the two had some nice H! Happy end (Nanya: Wataru…be careful, Kazuto might not be able to "handle" your "jounetsu ^v~"). The second part of this drama shifted the focus back to Yuuji and Itsuki. Although the two cohabited for a really long while now, Yuuji knew nothing about Itsuki, except the fact that his name is "Itsuki". This pissed Yuuji a little (Nanya: And he only realized this is a problem after YEARS *O*). Anyway, Yuuji was angry and wanted to know more about Itsuki so he went to Itsuki’s work place where Itsuki worked as a model and talked to Itsuki’s Uncle (CV: Kikuchi Masami). However, the latter knew not much about Itsuki’s past either. Itsuki also noticed Yuuji’s sadness and so agreed to a date ^^ but he was late on the date ^^;;. Yet, during the date, he was really sweet and when he met his old friends who were examining Yuuji, he ran away (but he did not notice Wataru, Kazuto, and Reiji were watching vv. Anyway, he brought Yuuji to a love hotel (of course) and the two had some nice H and happy end. There is an omake story in this drama. Basically, Yuuji found one of his beloved cats balding and wanted to bring it to the bath but Itsuki also said he had a patch and needed to get into the bath ^_^;;. Of course, he’s beaten up >v<. Note: The free talk for this drama is hosted by Miyatan (yeah!) with Suzuken & Kikuchi (I wonder where are the others vv). I still would like to hear a free talk with HIRA-CHAN >.<///
