Dakishimetakunai Hot

This is one of Naono-sensei's top works in my opinion. Each story is thoroughly captivating with interesting characters.

1. Denki deals with the physical insecurities of two high school students, Kouza and Touru. Though they appear to be polar opposites, they start a friendship and surprisingly get along very well. Touru's interesting little trait is that, after having been struck by lightening, his body carries a strong (painful!) electric charge. But why is it that Kouza is the only one that seems to be getting shocked?

2. Dakishimetakunai is about a salaryman who gets fired and finds himself hired as the housekeeper of a successful businessman's apartment. This story focuses on the relationship between the characters and the question of how deep are their feelings for each other? There's a mild surprise at the end. It's a mellow, satisfying story.

3. Yokubou no Riyuu is worth reading just for the cute little Grandpa character. Particularly noteworthy in this story is that the delicate-looking uke has the ability to easily coldcock the seme. Unrealistic but cute story.

4 and 5. An enjoyable roller-coaster ride following a Shinigami and a young man that's been trained as an assassin from a young age. After taking so many lives, it's natural that the assassin would have to pay for his sins, but is it possible that his punishment could be the greatest gift he's ever received?

As always, Naono-sensei's artwork is superb, with shading and definition bar-none.

These stories will make you think of the supernatural works of romance. The ideas are different and Naono Bohra has brought another up to capture the hearts of readers, making them wish it continued on. Along with Naono Bohra's other oneshots filled with inspiring actions of love.
