This was one extremely well-done story of five different college girls immersed in the world of escort services, host clubs and prostitution, with characters you REALLY loved and cared and worried about as they learned about the life and about themselves as well.
I’ve already gushed about Ai Yoshikawa and how awesome she was in this drama as the soft-spoken and introspective Yuki Shirai, but special mention must be made of Yumena Yanai as the sweet and vulnerable Moe. Heartbreaking to watch her go from gruff confidence in being alone, to opening her heart for love, and the crushing feelings of being discarded, it was her story that was the most compelling to me. Yumena was AMAZING in this, I believed in her character so much that I never once realized she was the same actress who played Aoi in Yuru Camp!
Also props to actress Nagisa Saito playing the manic and obsessive Yua Takahashi- my GOSH, this girl was running on ALL cylinders every time she was on screen- So crazily charismatic and FULL of life, and yet so fractured, flawed and lonely….I really loved the friendship she had with Moe, two totally different personalities whom come together by similar paths...
As a matter of fact, that's one of the things I really loved about this show, the way they brought together all the separate storylines with these seemingly loose connections, such great interaction between them all.
Mayu Yokota as Rina and Misato Ugaki as Aya rounded up the cast, and I love the fluid way they intertwined all the individual girls’ stories so as to become one solid story about the corruptive and obsessive nature of “Love for Sale”.
I can't tell you how surprised I was how amazing this show was. Really hit me "in the feels"!This one ranks a SOLID 10/10 from me, placing it right between Shoujiki Fudousan and Waru!
