For five years running, Takato Saijou has been the reigning ‘Huggable Man’, but that has all come crashing down as he has fallen to number two! The person who stole it from him is the newbie actor with only three years in the business, Junta Azumaya! His nickname is ‘angel’ due to his naturally sparkling smile. Takato viewed him as his rival, but now grasping his ‘weakness’, he can turn the tables on him…?

We knew going into this that it was BL, but this is more like a racy version of Love Stage! Where the boys have sex every episode. The first one is very problematic since it’s a non-consensual encounter, but other than that, the story is actually pretty good. We figured we would write this off as generic, but the story brings you in pretty fast as there was a confession right out of the starting gate. Fujoshi/Fudanshi will flock to this, but we will say, even if BL isn’t your thing, you might see the appeal from it by just a few episodes.
