Absolute Boyfriend, Vol. 2 by Yuu Watase

5.0

---

4.5 stars - dropped half a star because of THAT ending *sob*

Volume 2 focuses more on Soshi's (Riiko's neighbour and childhood friend) feelings towards Riiko and shows him to be an incredibly thoughtful and protective individual. Mika (Riiko's supposed friend) turns out to be a two-faced bitch as she goes behind Riiko's back and tries to seduce Night, however, he is having none of it (much to my delight!)

In order to keep Night (and pay the forfeit for not having 1 million dollars to pay for him) Riiko agrees to show Night what it means to be a woman and for him to gather data on understanding the female race. She gets a job as a waitress and discovers that Soshi is a waiter there! Cue lots of cute and awkward moments! Feeling guilty about Riiko getting a job, Night decides to gain employment too but on his way home is kidnapped by a group of guys who mistake him for one of their male escorts - he quickly gains employment and becomes a firm favourite with the ladies.

Ending - Soshi kisses Riiko and reveals his feelings for her whilst Night is kissed by one of his female clients which re-programmes him in becoming her lover and not Riiko's! Riiko is now considered his ex but she wants him back and will have to prevent losing him forever before he does the "deed".
