Oshiri Ai - Shinsatsu chuu - © Takada Rie/Shogakukan
[Serialized in Anekei Petit Comic and Petit Comic Zoukan]
Published in Indonesia as Doctor's Love ~ during a medical examination
by Tiga Lancar Semesta/3L
Again, because nobody else but me would bother, advising latest 3L josei and shoujo manga already available in book stores. I apologize for the tardiness; my 3L contact has vanished, so these heads-ups are tied to my manga runs. (Contrary to rumor, I don't camp out in Gramed.)
First up is the josei series Doctor's Love ~ during a medical examination by Takada Rie, starring Kuraku Budou, a genius colorectal surgeon blessed with biseinen beauty and a swoon-inducing bedside manner. Only his locum tenens Ujou Asako knows Kuraku-sensei's after-hours nature, but that doesn't stop her from remaining besotted with the tyrant.
Mini-review: I knew there was a reason I kept feeling, while I was reading it, that something must've preceded Doctor's Love (originally Oshiri Ai - Shinsatsu chuu); there's a three-volume prequel, Futari wa Oshiri Ai, that, unless I'm gravely mistaken, has not yet released in Indonesia. Considering the 3L empire was largely founded on Takada Rie manga—3L's first license was Heart and since 2004? 2005? has published Wild Act, Manatsu, Happy Hustle High, Hadashi no Aitsu, A Hard Trainer, Love Get You, Punch!!, Love Tripper, even the 1992-vintage To Be the Lady on Top (I know; they're all in my library)—youdathunk Futari wa Oshiri Ai would've released first.
Rating: 6 of 10 ♡
Rent, if you can;
Buy, if you must
On the Doctor's Love ♡ plus side, Takada Rie-sensei's mellower chara design evolution is TDF, not to mention there's the novelty of a romantic lead who specializes in literal a*seholes. The latter, however, is a double-edged scalpel supplying the minus. I really didn't want to see hemorrhoids up close nor cans stuffed up b*tts in my manga.
Doctor's Love volume 1 includes the omake Cat Catch.
Blurbs for Yokoyama Mayumi's love comedy Galism ~ 3 Sisters first-class Love ~ and Ichidou Hikaru's shoujo smut standalone Let's Do Extracurricular Lesson after the list.

We are GALS! Hear us roar!
Conveniently absent parents have granted the three Ugajin sisters, left to watch the house, heady freedom. But just as the party's getting started, the financier bankrolling Papa and Mama Ugajin's escapade shows up, assigning the siblings to protect Manten Academy from those seeking to disturb the peace.
Thus kicks off the 3 Sisters' stormy adventure and their equally-tempestuous love lives!
I don't have a snap review of this, but just the fact that I passed it up already implies... whatever you want it to imply. (I didn't get because I wasn't impressed with the also 3L-published Boy's Story nor M's Dilemma. I likewise passed up on I Love High School 1.)
Let's Do Extracurricular Lesson by Ichidou Hikaru
Model student Aoi finds there's more to life than textbooks after she falls (in lust) for a guy whose name she doesn't even know.
The above snap synop refers to the antho christener Let's Do Extracurricular Lesson.
Four more shorts follow—His Wild Idea,
I Want To Be Pretty,
I'm His Toy
and I Want It!
—all variations on the Let's H! theme.
Yummy bishies regardless, I can only recommend this as a Rent.
Ichidou Hikaru-sensei also created standalone Kahanshin ga Yajuu and the two-volume Osu Mesu Kissu.
Upcoming 3L manga
