SynopsisYukiya Ayase is a gentle, kind hearted, and innocent university student. The only relative he has left, his cousin Tetsuo, betrays Ayase by selling him to the highest bidder in an auction with hopes of making an enormous profit to be able to pay off his debts. Somuku Kanou, a bad-tempered (though very rich) loan shark, comes to Ayase's rescue and buys Ayase for an impressive 1.2 billion. Kanou apparently knows Ayase from something that happened between them in the past, but Ayase cannot remember who Kanou is nor does he understand why he "saved" him. In a desperate effort to keep Ayase close to him, Kanou demands the debt be repaid in full and suggests the perfect way to do it: by selling his body to Kanou for 500,000 each time. Ayase is horrified in the beginning, but something soon begins to grow between them that can't be bought for any price. |

I personally adored this read, it was so beautifully drawn, and the characters had stunning detail to them, the beautiful expressions and attention to detail, made each new scene more moving or some other chapters to be very steamy.
At first i felt alittle sorry for Ayase in his situation but later came to realise Kanou's reasoning, and wanted Ayase to accept and understand Kanou more earlier, but each small step into Ayases understanding meant a new step into the story and relationship.
Making me fall even more in love with the two, and the extreme love within them and how much they deep down cared for each other.
Sometimes the character Kanou seemed alittle harsh with Ayase but it was more an act of over protection and love for Ayase, probably not the nicest of ways to force love upon someone but it makes this a great yaoi manga if he didnt!
Kanou cant stop his lust when he is filled but nothing but desire for Ayase and wants nothing but him.
Well worth a read for people who truley love Yaoi its got lots of steamy action as well as a wonderful storyline full of all the romance and twists you could ask for.

This is a good read. All of it hasn't been translated yet, I'm up to volume 7 currently but I like it. However I haven't yet seen this as a romance.
I see this as control, obsession, and power. Kanou exudes power and is extremely controlling of his environment and his life, so what he wants he gets. He wants Ayase and then finds the perfect opporunity presented when Ayase's cousin sells him off to pay a debt. Kanou buys Ayase and then violently rapes him.
This is not love people. For those to assume that Kanou loves Ayase boggles my mind. He is definitely exuding his control/power and it's peppered by a healthy dose of obsession when you find out for how long he's been fancying Ayase.
You also have it implied that Kanou is not gay, or he believes himself not to be gay...but his obsession with Ayase (who is displayed as a shota with high feminine qualities). This is further seen as obsession when he even equates Ayase as training a pet or a dog. So to get Ayase's love he gets a book on taking care of one's pet (a hostile one) in order to understand Ayase's motives and thoughts.
This of course is ridiculous by anyone's standards. However it is the case. So what you're watching is power plays and the objectification of a male who's extremely feminized. It's interesting because it also brings up the usage of women in the media as sexual objects and their objectification. However again this is a male. As a social comentary this has some worth. As a smut read it has more credence. As for something romantic...hardly.
I do find the art good and if you're into yaoi this should be a staple. For all my statements it's a good story just not one based on romance. read more

They are somehow similar in plot... Both the main characters (or the uke) owe money to the other main character (or the seme). Also both are yaoi or shounen ai.
Extremely similar story. Similar situation where male lead ends up in debt because of a someone else then inadvertently develops feelings and/or relationship with Alpha male lender. In the case of Okane Ga Nai it's a cousin. In the case of Datte Ai ja Nai!? it's a close friend. Then through that the borrowing, lead male, ends up in a situation in which he knows he can never pay back the lender and in some respects making the debt increase ten-fold. The only real difference are the characters of the lead males. In OGN he's weak and feminized to to the worst possibly weak and needy persona. In DAjN, he's far better and definitely not weak, but ridiculously naive and gullible and far from feminized. Another slight difference is the lender, second lead, of DAjN doesn't have a twisted obsessive/possessive streak like in OGN.

They almost have the same plot... Another is that the ukes are cutie type and the semes are the big bad wolf type... : ) Also it deals with the semes being a highly feared person and the ukes being a goody two shoes....
It's not even funny to how much these two manga are alike. The story is almost the same, and the art work looks almost identical. Daimon is almost the spitting image of Kanou, not to mention their personalities are practically the same. They both knew someone a long time ago and met up with them after so long. They're both part of the Yakuza, and are both very short tempered. They also both save the person they care about most by thugs who kidnap both Fubuki and Ayase and drug them (only to have Daimon/Kanou take them back to their room and 'deal with them').
Ayase and Fubuki both have those really big uke styled eyes. Both tell Kanou and Daimon not to kill anyone who has done them wrong because they don't agree with taking people's lives. They're both older than what they look (Ayase being 19 and in college, and Fubuki being 22 and in the detective agency).
Daimon and Kanou both seem to have an undeniable weakness for Fubuki and Ayase, and always do whatever it takes to save them and keep them out of trouble.
Only difference is Ayase was bought by Kanou and is forced to pay his debt off. Although Fubuki had almost be sold into prostitution a couple of times.
If you like one, you're going to like the other either way. It's surprising both of these weren't made by the same person, unless they were teamed up at some point.
