Strategic Lovers, Vol. 1 is a captivating tale centred around Kouta Higashiyama, the estranged son of an enormously wealthy corporate founder and his twenty-third mistress. Kouta believes the issue of succession and inheritance has nothing to do with him, until his father's condition worsens and Kouta is suddenly kidnapped to become the next chairman.

Before him stand five beautiful girls, each vying to become his lover, and each with her own agenda. It is up to Kouta to investigate and choose whom he desires. However, with his hands full dealing with the girls' advances, will he truly be the one controlling the board, or will he become a pawn instead?
