Dakaichi: I'm Being Harassed By the Sexiest Man of the Year 7

Dakaichi: I'm Being Harassed By the Sexiest Man of the Year 7 by Hashigo Sakurabi

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


It seems Junta is exercises a lot of self control just when it seems like Takato maybe doesn't want him to. We get more of Arisu's story as well along with a new actor, Knight, coming into the frame. Knight himself seems a little bull headed and oblivious, though it seems his backers may be up to some very questionable no good to help him get his way.

Takato flies to Spain in an attempt to learn Flamenco, only he apparently forgets to consider this is where Junta grows up. This time it's Takato that has a rival to beat back. Junta's family, especially his grandfather, are rather sly in their little slips and directions to help the boys along. In the end, this is largely a side story, but it also shows a lot of emotional growth on Takato's part. We also see where Junta bets his bull barreling take what he wants personality from.

This was an odd installment in the series, with more side story details than progression in the main story arc. Perhaps some further indications into why certain newer characters react the way they do, but not anything overly thrilling.

Takato is finally ready to start living with Junta and seems to be accepting their relationship at least when he's alone - he's still very vocal with his disapproval when Junta keeps forcing things his way. At least that is until a photographer gets some shots of them together. A little photography blackmail later and a lot of misguided attempts at protecting each other and making themselves miserable along the way, and it seems like there may be light at the end of the tunnel for these two.

The majority of this volume takes us back to the beginning when Takato and Junta first met and how Junta first decided he wanted to pursue not just acting, but Takato specifically. There are some sweet moments, but we also get the early on glimpses of Junta's "angel-devil" persona.

There are still some obvious problems going on, especially when it comes to Junta outright kidnapping Takato and Sasaki either really being clueless or intentionally turning a blind eye to the behavior. The end of the chapter is rather bittersweet as Junta appears to be basically blaming Takato for what (thankfully) didn't actually happen with his new co-star. Takato is either really falling for Junta at this point or is otherwise reached the point where he's basically accepted this strange relationship and dynamics they have - to the point where he's visibly upset at the thought of it all going away or changing.

I've actually started to read this several times and ended up putting it down, not because of the story or the art necessarily, but that the anime at least through this first volume very closely follows the same story, so it feels very repetitive and predictable. Junta is an oddity where he appears very angelic, lending to the illusion he would also be innocent. He's anything but that with how forceful he is claiming Takato... and it really can't be called anything but that with how he goes about getting his way.
