Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai (黒崎くんの言いなりになんてならない) is a Japanese romantic comedy shōjo manga series written and illustrated by Makino.[1] It is published by Kodansha since 2014, with serialization on Bessatsu Friend.[2] It was adapted into a Japanese television drama mini-series in December 2015.[2] A live action film adaptation was released on February 27, 2016.[3]
Kurosaki is nicknamed “Kuro Akuma” (Black Devil) and is feared by his peers. He demands Yu’s “absolute obedience.” On the other hand, Takumi, Kurosaki’s best friend, is adored by girls and is called “Shiro Oji” (White Prince). He is very warm and kind to Yu.The two boys treat Yu in opposite ways. Kurosaki is arrogant, using such ploys as “kabe-don” (putting both hands on the wall around a girl) and “ago-kui” (tilting a girl’s chin up with a finger). By contrast, Takumi goes for more chivalrous gestures like gently holding her hand or giving her a hug from behind.The highlight of the film is a basketball game between Takumi and Kurosaki over Yu. Grabbing Kurosaki’s collar, Takumi says, “You’ll never beat me.” As Takumi wildly chases and steals the ball from Kurosaki, his hidden passion comes out.The film tells the story of a love triangle, and, as Chiba said, it also carefully depicts how the two boys become closer to each other.
