    Switch – Naked Ape

    Eto Kai may look like a squeaky clean kid, but the Greater Kanto Narcotics Control Division’s new investigator hides a violent alter ego and a dangerous past. With his stoic partner Hal Kurabayashi, Kai is assigned to track down and stop the distribution of Dragon Speed, a dangerous new drug. But Ryugen, the syndicate trafficking the drug, is almost impossible to infiltrate. Add street violence and a jurisdiction war with the Meguro Police, and poor Kai is in for some very long days at the office.

    Riveting narcotics drama but with shounen ai so low-key it’s almost non-existent.

    Satomi is your average older-uke salaryman, a hard worker guy type. When one of his co-workers, Oikawa, approaches him, he finds a resemblance between Oikawa and his son – who turned out as the same age as Oikawa. Later when Oikawa invited himself to infiltrate Satomi’s house, he makes a shocking confession enough to make Satomi falls for him.
