The hugely popular anime "I'm Being Threatened by the No. 1 Man I Want to Hold" began airing on terrestrial television in the fall of 2018! Set in the entertainment world, the story depicts a boys' love story between Saijo Takato and Azumaya Junta. The series is primarily episodic, and much of the attention has been focused on the two characters as they gradually grow closer! In this article, we'll explore why Saijo Takato, the main character of the anime, finds himself embraced by Azumaya Junta, and how they ended up dating!
Let's start by reviewing the main story!

The protagonist, Takato Saijo, has been in the entertainment industry since he was a child actor, making him an elite actor with 20 years of experience. He's skilled in everything from dramas to stage plays to commercials. His talent is unwavering, and he was voted "Number One Man I Want to Embrace" for five consecutive years. However, in his sixth year, he was unexpectedly snatched from the top spot by a different actor. The winner was Junta Azumaya, a rookie actor with only three years of experience.
Open Hostility After Unexpectedly Falling to the Top
After losing his No. 1 ranking as the most desirable man, Takato openly expresses his hostility toward Junta. Meanwhile, it was announced that he would be co-starring with Junta in a drama. Junta will play the lead role, with Takato in a supporting role. The fact that the No. 1 and No. 2 most desirable men would be co-starring created a lot of buzz, but Takato was unhappy that he had lost his lead role. Meanwhile, Junta, who has a bright smile, warms to Takato. Then, at a drinking party after filming the drama, Takato, who has a low tolerance for alcohol, gets drunk and ends up being nursed by Junta.
The exchange offered was...
In his drunken state, Takato makes a fool of himself in front of Junta. From there, the roles are reversed. Takato's weakness was exposed, but Junta's only condition in exchange was to "let him hold me"! The #1 "Man I Want to Hold" is holding the #2 "Man I Want to Hold"... We can't take our eyes off their relationship!
What kind of character is Junta Azumaya, the actor with "angelic powers"?

Junta Azumaya plays the so-called "seme" character in "Dakaichi." With his refreshing smile and sparkling aura, he's described by fans as an "angel." His popularity is undeniable, as he was voted the number one "man you want to sleep with," even beating out Takato. His angelic aura is so overwhelming that it seems to captivate not only his fans, but even his co-stars and coworkers.
It all started with a pizza delivery
Junta, who worked a variety of part-time jobs, once delivered pizzas. While delivering pizzas to his current agency, he was scouted on the spot. At first, perhaps because he was good at everything, he felt unmotivated as he pursued his entertainment career. However, one day, his life changed dramatically after meeting Takato. He realized he was the type of actor who excelled at acting from the heart, and he began to work harder. Then, something happens that makes her decide to have sex with Takato.
They successfully start dating!
Junta manages to have sex with Takato while drunk. But the great thing about "Dakaichi" is that it doesn't end there. While the two of them start out physically intimate, it's great to see how they later become emotionally attracted to each other. Takato, who was particularly reluctant at first, gradually becomes attracted to Junta and properly expresses his feelings.
Why does he end up having sex with him? Considering the Angelic Power

From here, I'd like to thoroughly examine why Takato is drawn to Junta and the angelic power he possesses! Just read this and you'll fully understand Junta's charm.
An Overwhelming Smile and Refreshing Feeling
First of all, it's obvious just by looking at him: his smile is overwhelming and refreshing. Incidentally, Takato previously praised his face, saying, "Despite his flashy build, he's not bad-looking." It's no wonder everyone is captivated by his angelic smile. His sparkling aura and charming smile warmly embrace those who see him, and they're likely the foundation of his angelic power.
Purity and Innocence in Devotion to Takato
Junta looks quite well-built and manly, but his purity in devotion to Takato and his innocence in simply being happy to be with him are his biggest plus points. I'm sure Takato couldn't help but think, "How cute!" Anyone would be happy to have a junior like him be so attached to them.
A Great deal of tolerance
We often hear that women like men with tolerance. Junta is a very generous man. We can see this in various scenes, such as when he carries Takato to the hospital when he has a cold or when he shields him from getting wet. The most extreme example is when he switches from a motorcycle to a car. He switches so he can protect someone important to him in case of an emergency, and of course, that important person is Takato. As a result, they are often seen riding together in a car.
When in front of Takato, he becomes a man! The difference
Junta possesses such angelic powers, but when he is in front of his beloved Takato, he becomes so excited he can't help but feel overwhelmed. He is so in love with Takato that he becomes a man. His usual angelic and sparkling personality is lovely, but his manly side also makes a difference, and it's hard not to be captivated! By the way, once he gets into this mode, his momentum is hard to calm down, so Takato calls him the "Unstoppable Angel."
Is he actually scheming...? He's just too good at getting people to do things.
Junta is often described as an innocent angel, but as the story progresses, there are times when you start to wonder, "...is he actually scheming?" He's so skilled at getting Takato to do things that make you think, "Is he really scheming?" That's how skilled he is at getting Takato to do things. For example, during the uniform play, he begs Takato, who was so averse to it, to wear the uniform, and even gets him to call him "sensei" with the promise that it'll only happen once! And it didn't end there. (!) He also makes advances on Takato on the location bus, even though there was a driver, and even outdoors, even on a deserted island. While it's true that "Takato must be very easy to get," Junta is a strategist, and it's safe to say that he's extremely skilled at getting people to do things that make him ...
Although Junta is an angel, he sometimes falls from grace... When that happens, his usual white wings always turn black. This is especially true when Takato sees the shadow of another man. Just as Takato was making advances on Ayagi, Junta was away on location, away on location. However, as if sensing something, he shook his black wings, said, "It's just a makeshift substitute, though," and chewed on a mint tablet. Sometimes, Junta's usual angelic mode breaks down, and his expression takes on a dark shadow, but this is also because he cares for Takato. Although he can be a little controlling, it's clear that he really loves Takato.
Why is he embraced? A summary of his angelic power!

The above is a discussion of the angelic powers of Azumaya Junta, who appears in "I'm Being Threatened by the No. 1 Man I Want to Dive." Hopefully, you've learned about Junta's charm from every angle. Even Takato, who is cool, older than Junta, and ranked number one as the "man you want to hug" for five consecutive years, is captivated by Junta's charm and ends up being embraced. You can see that Junta's charm and angelic powers are quite impressive. The "Dakaichi" anime has finished airing, but the original is still being serialized, and it has been decided that it will be adapted into a stage play in 2019! This play is an adaptation of "Momiji Oni," a play that appeared in the story, in which Takato and Ayagi Chihiro co-starred, so it is unclear whether Junta will have a role, but future developments will be interesting to watch!
