Have you heard of the hugely popular series "I'm Being Threatened by the No. 1 Man I Want to Hold"? Set in the entertainment industry, the story depicts the love story between Saijo Takato, a veteran actor with 20 years of experience, and Azumaya Junta, a rookie actor with only three years of experience. Originally a hugely popular serialized commercial BL series, it gained even more popularity when it was adapted into an anime in the summer of 2018. What's more, it has just been announced that the series will be adapted into a stage play in 2019! It's a work that's gaining momentum. In this article, we'll introduce a ranking of the "most desirable men" from the series "I'm Being Threatened by the No. 1 Man I Want to Dakaretai," also known as "Dakaichi."
No. 1 in the "Most desirable men" ranking! Junta Azumaya

This is definitely a Hall of Fame award! It's no surprise, considering he also took the top spot as the "Most Wanted Man" in the anime. The reason he was chosen as the most wanted man is his overwhelming angelic power. His angelic smile and refreshing aura are so striking you can almost see his angelic wings. His angelic power is so captivating that not only fans, but even his co-stars can't help but stare. Of course, Takato Saijo is the one who suffers the most from this... Even so, Junta just wants to be Takato's number one "Most Wanted Man." But perhaps his single-mindedness is also the reason he's ranked first!
Gap Moe?

Junta has an angelic smile, and he seems to market himself as a warm and refreshing guy, but when he's in front of Takato, he's just a regular guy! He lusts after him like a beast. His passion is so strong that Takato calls him the "Unbeatable Angel"... It's a stark contrast to his usual self, but it's also a bit of a contrast moe, or rather, a point of excitement!
Ranked #2 in the Most Wanted Man Ranking! Takato Saijo

Next up in second place is Takato Saijo! A veteran actor with 20 years of experience, he's a cool, cool-headed, handsome man with dark hair. In the anime, he held the number one spot as the "Most Wanted Man" for five consecutive years, so his talent is undeniable. Well, in his sixth year, he lost that spot to Junta, which he was very upset about... Still, his overwhelming coolness and cool expression make many people want to be hugged by him!
But he's the one being hugged

That said, Takato is mostly on the receiving end in the anime! It's almost like a fate, and when he's embraced, Takato's cuteness is brought out. Captivated by his sex appeal, Junta can't stop longing for him. But the problem is, he's not the only one captivated by his charm. As we'll introduce later, junior actor Ayagi also has a crush on Takato! An incident occurs between these two, and Takato's cuteness is also brought out. Of course, Junta doesn't keep quiet... For more details, check out the anime!
3rd Place in the "Most Wanted to Be Held" Ranking! Chihiro Ayagi

Next up, in third place is the dangerously handsome Chihiro Ayagi. He's sure to appeal to some. His reptilian, slender looks and lackluster expression are distinctive. She was a junior colleague of Takato's, and they appeared together on stage, but she skipped the first rehearsal and was late to the second day's rehearsal, showing no motivation! This made Takato angry. There are even rumors that she is secretly using her body for sales. She wins jobs through all sorts of sales, making her one of the most eccentric characters in "Dakaichi."
Takato is drunk...

This Ayagi has an incident with Takato. She even tried to embrace him while he was drunk! "I'll make you my woman," she said, groping him in bed. Unfortunately, Junta was away on location filming in the countryside at the time... Danger had befallen Takato. The next morning, Takato was stunned to find himself naked, Ayagi, and the contraceptives left behind. In the end, nothing happened to the two of them, but of course Junta didn't keep quiet. For the time being (?), the matter was resolved peacefully, but it seems Ayagi is still serious about Takato. Even so, Takato is very popular.
4th place in the ranking of people I want to sleep with! Kazuomi Usaka

Coming in fourth place was Kazuomi Usaka. While most of the characters in the "Dakaichi" series are adults, he is perhaps the most charming character. He is a talented general producer at TV Nippon Television, and is so strict about his work that he is nicknamed "Demon Usaka." He never compromises on the projects he works on. Incidentally, he has known Takato since their days as ADs, and they respect each other's work. He normally speaks in standard Japanese, but when talking to himself or at random times he will switch to Kyoto dialect. A must-see for fans of dialects. He is also a fairly heavy smoker, and can often be seen smoking. He has a penchant for spicy food, and his favorite food is super spicy mapo tofu. On the other hand, he doesn't like sweet things, and his brow furrows when he eats them. He is the complete opposite of Takato, who loves sweets and uses cake as a tranquilizer.
Usaka's reaction to the scandal...

A sequel to the drama "Midday Star," in which Takato and Junta co-starred, has been confirmed. It will be directed by Kazuomi Usaka. Takato is excited to be working with Usaka, with whom he has a long-standing relationship of trust. However, in the midst of all this, an incident occurs in which Takato is photographed by a weekly magazine being embraced by Junta. In fact, Junta simply caught Takato when he stumbled down the stairs, and from the photo alone it is not clear whether the man in question was Junta or not, but Usaka wants to completely eliminate any risk and tries to remove Takato from the cast. To find out what happens next, please read the main story!
5th place in the ranking of people you want to hug! Ryo Narimiya

Ranked fifth here is Ryo Narimiya, the only male high school student character! He's so cute, isn't he? He's a young actor who also works as an idol and is affiliated with the agency "Galaxy." He's currently a second-year high school student. It's a common story, but after his older sister sent his application to an entertainment agency without his permission, he made his debut in the entertainment industry in his second year of junior high school. He attends a prestigious high school, Takato's alma mater, and balances his studies with work. His energy and smile are his redeeming features, making him the "Dakaichi" world's greatest mood maker. He also has a bright, innocent, and honest side.
I love Junta!

By the way, he's a big fan of Junta and seems happy to be with him. He's also one of those who's been seduced by Junta's angelic power. However, perhaps because of his youth or something, he's innocent and unsuspecting, so he doesn't realize that Junta's "angel mode" is an act. I'd like to say, "You should have noticed!" But anyway, as a big fan of Junta, he's probably just happy to be close to him.

We've introduced a wide variety of handsome men from 1st to 5th place, but did any of them really catch your eye? Since "Dakaichi" is set in the entertainment world, it's filled with all kinds of handsome men. The characters are all charming in many ways, including Azumaya Junta, a strategist who can switch between angel mode and fallen angel mode (?), Saijo Takato, a cool and handsome classic (but still huggable), Ayagi the outlaw, Usaka the glasses-wearing character with a mature charm, and Narumiya the high school boy... The anime broadcast of "Dakaichi" has ended, but the original manga is still being serialized and is extremely popular, and it has even been decided that it will be adapted into a stage play in 2019, so it seems like there are many more developments to come! We can't take our eyes off the future of "Dakaichi"!
