User Image Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Shōganai!! (好きなものは好きだからしょうがない!!, Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Shōganai!!?), also known as Sukisho! or Sukisyo! is a light novel that has since expanded into a BL-anime-style video game, an anime series and OVA. The title translates into English as "I like what I like, so it can't be helped", or "I like what I like, so there!" The best known of the versions is the BL game, which features shōnen-ai and, in the original PC release, yaoi.

High-school student Sora Hashiba has been hospitalized after falling from an upper floor of his school building. On his first night back in the dormitory, he wakes to find a strange boy addressing him by the name "Yoru." The stranger identifies himself as "Ran" and says he's Sora's new roommate. The next day, Sora's childhood friend and dorm manager, Matsuri Honjou, informs Sora that the other boy, whom Matsuri identifies as Sunao Fujimori or "Nao-kun," is actually another childhood friend of Sora's. Sora doesn't remember meeting Sunao before. In fact, Sora can't remember much of anything regarding his past, and the series follows his quest to regain his memory.

Sora soon learns why Sunao identified himself as "Ran" that first night: Both he and Sora have alternate personalities. Sora's is Yoru, a powerful protector and the lover of the more dependent, feminized Ran. The existence of these alternate personalities, and the relationship between them, has some mysterious connection with Sora's fall from the window and his forgotten past. The alternate personalities' passionate relationship is a far cry from the hostility and distrust between Sora and Sunao. Because Yoru and Ran possess them arbitrarily, Sora and Sunao frequently find themselves in embarrassing situations when they regain control of their minds.

Other comical situations arise from Matsuri's efforts to draw Sora and Sunao into his moneymaking schemes, known as the group "Do-It-Alls" and from such minor characters as a bishōnen ghost and three younger boys who resemble the trio. No parents are ever mentioned, and the only authority figures are school nurse Kai Nanami and math teacher Shinichirou Minato, but it is known that Sora and Sunao are both orphans. Both have some connection with Sora and Sunao's dark past, which also involves one of the older students at the school, Kai Nagase, and a mysterious doctor named Aizawa.

Main Couple

User Image


User Image Sora Hashiba: The main character of Sukisho. Sora can't remember his past and at first doesn't know he has an alternate personality named Yoru. Sora is usually easy going and loves to eat. He is usually the dominant male, though there are instances in the game where he becomes the uke instead. He has a complicated and occasionally hostile relationship with his roommate and former childhood friend Sunao Fujimori. Normally, he refers to Sunao by his last name, Fujimori. Sora has spiky blue hair and blue eyes. He usually seems to be the one that gets harmed the most often in the anime.

Yoru: Sora's alternate personality. Unlike Sora, Yoru is both shrewd and flirtatious. He is considered the seme in this couple. ("Seme" refers to the dominant partner in a couple. The terms "seme" and "uke" are more often used to define roles in a homosexual relationship, for convenience, but are also applicable to heterosexual relationships. ) Yoru loves Ran, but he isn't above flirting with anyone else (in the games, he has been seen flirting with Sunao, Nanami, Sei, Hiromu, and even Sora). Nonetheless, he loves Ran and will often show it when in bed with him (which embarrasses Sora and Sunao in the aftermath). However, Yoru will protect Sora when he feels there is need to. In the game, he also likes to joke around with Sora by placing images of Sora's friends in odd positions (These include Sunao and Ran, Hiromu, Nanami, and oddly enough Yoru himself). Yoru can be distinguished from Sora by his slightly darker hair, increased height, deeper voice and a glowing amber left eye. He is also usually seen with a long white piece of cloth tied to his right arm. In one of the drama CDs it is said that he tried to kill himself because he left Ran in the lab and that's why it's there.



User Image Sunao Fujimori: Sunao is Sora's childhood friend and current roommate. Easily angered, he isn't above punching anyone who makes him lose his temper, especially Sora. Although he did strike Sora a few times in the beginning of the anime series. At first, he claims he hates Sora, but he becomes closer to Sora with each game/episode. And later on in the anime series, Sunao allows Sora to enter his body. Just as Sora calls Sunao by his last name, Sunao refers to Sora as "Hashiba" and in some episodes with the nickname "Kuu-chan." He has an alternate personality named Ran. Sunao has long pink hair usually tied with a long piece of red ribbon and pink eyes.

Ran: Just as Sora has Yoru, Sunao has an alternate personality by the name of Ran. In contrast to Sunao, Ran is dependent, demanding and in some cases more feminine. Ran loves Yoru to the point of obsession. He will occasionally flirt with Sora only to bring out Yoru. He is considered the uke in this couple. (An "uke" is the less aggressive partner in a relationship, often portrayed as being more feminine than the seme. [see "seme" in Yoru's description]) Ran can be distinguished from Sunao by his slightly brighter pink hair color (only in the game), higher voice, and red eyes. Ran (蘭) in Japanese means 'orchid'. Note that Kappei Yamaguchi is the voice actor for Ran in the Drama CD and games. However, the voice actor changes to Hoshi Souichirou (the voice actor of Sunao) in the anime.

I would actually rank this anime as my favourite shounen-ai series. It deserves so much more popularity.

Though a lot of the anime (I have not played the game) is just random filler... It is fun to watch, but when the plot on their past and alternate personalities kicks in- it is just amazing! I really wish there was a lot more drama in it, that series pulled it off very well.

One of my favorites(anime wise. Need to figure out a way to get a translated version of the game) Despite the fact that there isn't much action between the couples, the twisted phycological-ness in the anime is enough for me. Has one of the best storylines I've seen for a shounen-ai.
