"Dakaichi" is a hugely popular series currently being serialized in "MAGAZINE BE×BOY" (Libre Publishing). Written by Sakura Hidashi, its beautiful illustrations and thrilling plot have earned it a reputation.
What's the story about?
The story is set in the entertainment world. The protagonist, Takato Saijo, is a 28-year-old veteran actor who has maintained his popularity since his days as a child actor. He has been ranked "No. 1 in the list of men most wanted to sleep with" for five consecutive years. However, Takato finally falls from the top spot. The man who beat Takato to the No. 1 spot for "The Man I Want to Sleep With" was none other than Junta Azumaya, a brand new actor with only three years of experience.
Junta's reaction to Takato's open hostility...
Thus, Takato and Junta became the top two "Men I Want to Sleep With." These two stars co-starred in a drama. Junta played the lead role, and Takato played a supporting role. Naturally, Takato was not amused. While he was quite hostile, Junta seemed happy to be working with Takato and had grown quite attached to him. Then, one day at a drinking party, Takato, who has a bad drinking habit, got drunk and made a fool of himself in front of Junta. Takato's weakness was exposed. "What's your goal?" he asked Junta. But Junta surprisingly said, "Let me sleep with you, Takato!"
There's even more to come beyond the volumes!
And that's "Dakaichi." It's still a popular series, with volumes on sale! A drama CD has also been released. In 2018, it was finally adapted into an anime, further increasing its popularity. Even bigger news: a stage adaptation is scheduled for 2019! This makes us really excited for the future developments of "Dakaichi."
Check out Chihiro Ayagi's profile!
By the way, what about Saijo Takato?

Similarly, Ayagi causes an incident (?) with the main character, Takato Saijo, in the main story. Saijo's profile is as follows:
Birthday: April 20th, Blood Type: A, Height: 176cm, Weight: 55kg. This veteran actor has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years and has maintained his popularity since his days as a child actor. Apparently, his hobby is crushing young actors! As mentioned above, he held the record as the "No. 1 Man to Sleep With" for five consecutive years, but was dethroned by Azumaya Junta, ending his streak last year. He's a handsome man with short, black hair and sharp eyes. Ayagi Chihiro and Saijo Takato have 17 years of experience in the entertainment industry, making them senior and junior. However, Ayagi has a crush on Takato! Of course, Takato and Azumaya are developing a physical relationship, but what exactly is going to happen with Ayagi?
Takato and Scandal! What is the Incident Caused by Ayagi Chihiro?
The incident occurred in episode 5 of the anime, "I'll Make You My Woman." At the time, Junta was away on location filming, while Takato was training the newcomer Ayagi as part of stage rehearsals.
Unmotivated Ayagi

This time, Ayagi was playing the lead role in a play. However, she didn't show up for the first rehearsal of her debut. What's more, she was so careless that she was late for the second day of rehearsal. She appeared wearing sunglasses and looking unmotivated. Takato is, of course, secretly angry, but so far she hasn't shown it. However, he seems determined to crush the arrogant newcomer!

Rehearsals have begun. The story is about "Momiji Oni," a demon from the Momiji legend. Takato, who played the demon, gave a delicate and overwhelmingly beautiful performance that consumed the air around him. Naturally, Ayagi was also overwhelmed. "Also, if the main character gets overwhelmed, the play won't be complete, Ayagi-kun. Be careful, you're an important main character," Takato said. Ayagi thought (That was surprising... he's got quite a good personality), and clicked her tongue as she said, "Thank you for your guidance, senpai."
Now that Ayagi is serious...

After this, we changed into costumes for the photoshoot. Takato, with his long hair and kimono, looked absolutely stunning! Ayagi was also quite captivated. However, perhaps frustrated by being manipulated, Ayagi's temper flared up and he came up with a plan. He entered Takato's room while he was getting changed. He surprised him by touching his lower back (!), but was temporarily saved when his manager called him in to tell him there was a drinking party coming up.
After the drinking session...
Will Ayagi Chihiro be starring in the lead role?! The stage adaptation of "Dakaichi" will be released in 2019!
