[yaoisex]

Ah yes. Thank you guys for being all over each other. Thank youuuu <333

At the very beginning of today's Kamonohashi Ron stage event in Kyoto, Junya asked Aji if he's not going to take his clothes off and said: "lately, this guy seems to love taking his clothes off" XD Since Bravern this has become an ongoing joke, I love it hahaha

[cocotome]

He. Looks. So. Cute!

Love that he's wearing different colors of the same.outfit for each performance!! Also appreciate him color coordinating with his characters! I'm about to check for pre-order links lol

In the distant future, ordinary teacher Yoshino learns that he is a "donor" for the strongest species, the "ikigami." These warriors are tasked with protecting the country. "The unique ability of a donor is to use their bodily fluids to heal ikigami." Yoshino learns this fact and is shocked. Thus, Yoshino is forced to live with Kidou... At first, he is like a beast, demanding Yoshino's bodily fluids, but slowly, the underlying loneliness begins to show...

"Someday, if I met a donor, could they come to love me? That thought is the only reason I survived..."

Review Proper

I can’t believe Yamanaka Hiko’s been terrorizing me for over twelve years now. OH MY GOD I’M SO OLD. And true to the Yamanaka Hiko brand, this turned out to be another fantasy masterpiece (read His 500 Years of Suffering Romance). This was definitely the type of thing that would do great even without the BL aspect of it. Now, I did have an issue with Kidou being an asshole (he's almost killed Yoshino more than once), so I’m not excusing it. But I do get how and why he turned out to be like that and I'm aware that it's important for his character development. The world-building was great, don't get me wrong, but it's definitely dubcon 2015. I would strongly advise you not to get into it if that's a deal breaker for you.

Anyway, onto the voice work.

Souma used a tone so close to Gucci's that I kept imagining Gucci being Yoshino. Yes, I didn't read the manga while listening to the BLCD. It was like after graduating Karasuno, Gucci went on to become a teacher, then a donor lmao. His Yoshino panics more like Honda-san, however, so my final verdict is that his Yoshino is half-Gucci, half-Honda-san.

This isn't Nakajiki and Souma's first rodeo, but I'm glad to say that their performance/dynamic here is different from Mikeneko and XL Size. I expected Kidou to be a mix of Amano and Anaconbayashi-kun 'cause the former was cocky and the latter was stoic, but Kidou was only 50% of that mix and 50% brooding, suffering, I'll-protect-you top. Am I even making any sense? Again, I listened to the BLCD first, but the sound direction they gave Nakajiki was very different from what I thought he'd sound like after I read the manga. It’s almost like what happened with OnoD’s expressive Hasebe-kun in the Kotonoha BLCD vs the more stoic Hasebe-kun in the manga. 

The voice work of our two leads was 👌. This might just be my fave out of their pairings 'cause the sex isn't over-the-top like XL Size and Mikeneko. I will say that I wasn't completely sold on Yamashita Seiichirou as Shibata-san 'cause I feel like he speaks too slowly, but I'm sure it'll grow on me by the time I listen to their spin-off. KawaKen was fine. My heart broke for him every time Shibata-san rejected him, so it's safe to say he's got Taki-kun down already.

Oh. I did have a slight issue with the sfx too. Why was it so watery??? Lmao. Even r18 otome cds aren't that wet. But it's not so glaring that it'll turn you off.

The BLCD was almost perfectly accurate to the manga. I highly recommend this to those learning mid to higher levels of Japanese. Futekiya has licensed volumes 1 & 2, so please try to support the official release if you can. I'd be lying if I said that I agree with how they translated it so... literally?, but I think it's also important to see how things are translated that way if you're aiming to dip your toes into translation aside from studying the language. For example, they used "Living God" throughout the manga instead of "Ikigami." It's correctly translated, but I personally prefer retaining the original title. You know, like how Viz uses "Kaiju no. 8" instead of "Monster no. 8?"

God knows if I'll ever survive the spinoff that I wanted to work on. I avoided talking about it for a reason lmao. Anyway, if y'all liked this, then please give 500 Years (Ono Yuuki x Suzuki Tatsuhisa) and Shortcake no Ichigo Sawaranaide (Nojima Hirofumi x Takeuchi Ken). These two are android bls and Ikigami to Donor is more guide bl, but they both share a futuristic vibe.

[01/06] HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAKU YASHIRO (TAKUCHAN)!

Character: Tsubasa Kashiwagi (SideM)

[a-forbidden-detective]

Youhei Azakami (Ron Kamonohashi) calling Taku Yashiro’s character Spitz Feier “There’s a refreshing handsome man” really cracks me up. Giving fuel to my Ron Kamonohashi-Spitz Feier fantasies. (Apologies, Toto!) Ikemen. Ikemen.

I am saving this here bc it was deleted and then made private on YouTube. And then on the 27th of November, they released this only to be shelved for a month. This after-talk session was Taku’s one of first appearances after the traffic accident he had caused on November 9. He had been radio silent since that incident as he was advised by his management to do so. Apart from profusely apologising he stopped using his social media and promoting his projects. He slowly came back beginning with a TV appearance he also co-emceed and this guest talk with Youhei for a recap of the three-part Observatory in a solitary island arc. But a few feedback from the Japanese public was not at all welcoming. In a way I can understand them bc it was entirely Taku’s carelessness for driving a car with an expired vehicle inspection.

The two really had fun talking about the aftermath of the solitary island arc. Taku was even praising the chemistry between Youhei and Junya’s portrayal of RonToto. A few days later, during their sixth after-talk show Junya remarked that the studio reeked of a "man.” Heh!

Today, after Youhei tweeted his thanks and appreciation post, Taku released his first-ever Tweet after the car accident. He’s really back and on the 6th of January, which is canonically Sherlock Holmes’ birthday, he will be 31 years old.
