STRATEGIC LOVERS GN (2025)

Kouta Higashiyama's father is the enormously wealthy founder of a corporate behemoth-but his mother was the man's twenty-third mistress! He thought the issue of succession and inheritance had nothing to do with him. And it didn't-until he was suddenly kidnapped as a candidate to be the next chairman, and dropped in front of five beautiful girls, all of whom are in contention to become his lover... But is his whole life really all about choosing whatever and whoever he wants? Or will Kouta himself be the one to be chosen...?

Kouta's rattled after he finds out about Miyu's adulterous affair-not to mention what Nagisa did at school in front of everyone! Regardless of his complicated feelings, though, the day he'll need to choose who to eliminate from the Garden is fast approaching. The decision is certainly Kouta's to make, but one of the girls may just be laughing to herself behind the scenes...

The Garden's second Friday is here, and Kouta must once again choose which of the girls to send home. But before he can announce his decision, Nanako steps forward and declares her withdrawal herself. Seira jumps at the chance to seduce the despondent, lost Kouta-until a certain someone makes a comeback amid the chaos!

After Seira's unceremonious exit, a temporary peace has descended upon the Garden. In order to find the truth behind the Ikarugas' 'unwanted child,' Kouta sets his sights on a new target-the student council president! Will he be able to successfully assume control of the academy and find the answers he seeks?
