There is some really great news for the Boys Love fans today! The very first volume of Sansho Uo's latest work, Kimi ga Iuniwa Inu no Koi, has finally been released today, which is February 27th. This manga has already been creating a lot of buzz on the internet, and the physical release is making everyone quite excited. Even more interesting is that the famous Nemui Asada has actually written a special recommendation comment on the obi, which is the paper band around the book. This kind of support from another well-known creator really says a lot about the quality of the story we are about to dive into.
A Strange Longing: Meet Akira Tamanoi
The story follows Akira Tamanoi, who is a bit of an unusual high school student. He is very apathetic and doesn't really care about much, but he has this very specific longing in his heart. Akira basically wishes for a life where he only has to listen to what others tell him to do and just receive praise in return. It sounds a bit like he wants the life of a pet, doesn't it? This deep-seated desire is what makes Kimi ga Iuniwa Inu no Koi such a fascinating read for those who like psychological themes in their manga.
One fine day, everything changes for him because of a simple penalty. Since he was late to class, his teacher orders him to help out at the student council. That is where he first meets Makoto Miyauchi. Now, Makoto is the student council president, and she is both extremely smart and beautiful. But as the story goes on, you realize there is more to her than meets the eye.
The Dynamic Between a "Dog" and His "Owner"
Once they meet, Miyauchi starts asking Akira for various favors every single time she gets a chance. For anyone else, this might be annoying, but for Akira, it is exactly what he wanted. Every time she says things like, "You did a great job, you're amazing," or "Thank you for always helping me," a very strange and intense feeling starts growing inside him. He is finally getting the validation and the "praise" he has been craving for so long. However, this is a dark and twisted world, and the relationship might not be as innocent as it seems on the surface.
