Keep warm this winter season with the latest anime info at MANGA.TOKYO!
It has been announced that the upcoming BL anime Dakaretai Otoko No.1 ni Odosareteimasu (lit. I’m Being Threatened By the No.1 Most Desired Man, Dakaichi for short) will start its TV broadcast in October 2018. Along with the news, they also released a new visual with the text ‘In the entertainment business, will you eat or be eaten?’. The two characters are two of the top members of said industry, Saijo Takato and Junta Azumaya. Together they both stand at the top of the ranking of ‘dakaretai otoko’ (lit. ‘the most desired man’ or ‘the man I’d most like to embrace me’).
It has also been revealed that the character Kiyotaka Arisu will also be appearing in the anime and that he will be voiced by popular voice actor Wataru Hatano.
The main staff have also been announced for the series. The director will be Naoyuki Tatsuwa (Nisekoi) and the series composition will be headed by Yoshimi Narita (Itsudatte Bokura no Koi was 10 Senchi Datta). The character designs will be in good hands with Minako Shiba (Black Butler) and the music will be directed by Masaru Yokoyama (Fate/Apocrypha). The anime will be produced by CloverWorks (Persona 5 the Animation), which is the newly-rebranded Koenji Studio of A-1 Pictures. More staff can be found below.
Dakaretai Otoko No.1 ni Odosareteimasu is a long-running Boy’s Love manga by Hashigo Sakurabi. The official blurb for the manga is as follows:
‘I’ll make it so your body can’t bear to be apart from me.’
Takato Saijo has been knocked off the spot top of the ‘most desired man’ ranking after 5 years. The one to replace him is a newbie actor with just 3 years’ experience- Junta Azumaya! Takato looks upon the naturally charming and ‘angelic’ Azumaya with feelings of hostility, but in a moment of weakness, the tables are completely turned…
