Kaikan Phrase

Kaikan Phrase (Sensual Phrase) is about high school student, Aine, who is on her way to becoming a fantastic lyricist. Her writing is very good. One day, while carrying her lyrics, she is almost hit by a car. When the driver steps out, it turns out to be a very good-looking man named Sakuya. It turns out he is a popular lead singer of a band called Lucifer. He reads her lyrics and appoints her as their new lyricist. The only problem is, they sing very sensual songs and Aine hasn't even had her first kiss yet. While, Sakuya will just have to give her more practice, won't he? As he seduces the girl the begin a relationship. There will be many roadblocks to this romance, though. Jealous fans, tempting suitors, and their own doubts will get in their way.

Okay, one word, 'hot'. C'mon with a name like Sensual Phrase, what were you expecting? The series is fun and there aren't many like this published in America. The characters have their doubts and find ways to overcome them, displaying good character development.

Kaikan Phrase was created by Mayu Shinjo. It has been published in English by Viz. There is an anime, which is actually quite different from the manga. It focuses more on the band and boys, while the manga focuses on Aine.

I would recommend at least 16+. There are some mature situations (attempted rape, sexual situations, and slight nudity).
