Mayou Otoko Manga and Drama CD

迷う男 Mayou Otoko by Kano Shiuko

I couldn't find any summaries online for this so I guess I'll write my own.
Takigawa Itsuki, 27, interior designer finds himself falling in love with Misono Ryouji, 30, a well-known architect and a true walk in the jungle. How will poor normal Itsuki make his feeling clear towards this no direction sense, peculiar, weird and random man?
The story is actually under P.B.B Play Boy Blues and Punch Up as a side story. Its kinda cool how Kano-sensei managed to pair up almost every guy that appeared in the series xD

Review
Released: 2009/08/26
Rating: Good (recommended for a some comedy)
Cast:
Hatano Wataru x Sasanuma Akira

Preview:
Misono: No...that's embarrassing...
Ah! there...feels good...

Maybe I'm a masochist? What do you think?
xD

This manga was one of the most enjoyable and sexiest I've read. I mean really you can laugh at Misono's peculiarities such as his direction sense or the fact that he can't judge himself very well. Ohoh and also about the fact he doesn't go for normal sex most of the time. Sasanuma Akira voicing him just made it much better. If you all didn't know he's also Austria from Hetalia. Also Takaba from Viewfinder but I won't go into that cause I didn't like the Viewfinder Drama CD so much...Hatano Wataru~ what a perfectly normal voice for Itsuki. (i'm not saying it's bad, in fact its a compliment) Some characters need the "Normal" factor and the voice plays a part of it. Other seiyuus with the "Normal factor" are Toriumi Kousuke, Takahiro Sakurai and maybe some more others which i forgot ._.
The sounds are good. In one chapter it was raining and the guys were having sex in the mud, that scene was pretty great :D The drama CD flows well with the manga too with some extra lines here and there. Able to read with the manga.



Leopard Hakusho Manga and Drama CD



Leopard Hakusho by Ougi Yuzuha
Aya, a popular host who works at the club, "Leopard", is known for his good looks and his love for money. One day, a man named Shingyouji, with an aura fit to be a king, comes by and says, "I'll buy you. How much do you want?" What awaits Aya within the next 24 hours is house-wife role playing and lots of S&M sex… A story that begins with money and body that leads to one hell of a relationship starts here! From BangAQUA.

Rating: Fine


This is a MasterxSlave type of story or should it be a KingXServant type...well both fits the bill for this story as Shingyouji is seen as a King in the story where Aya has no choice but to obey his commands and fall deeper into his world.  Aya is often teased as being a wildcat. I was pretty drawn in to this manga from the first chapter when I saw Aya cross-dressing in a bridal dress. And also the fact that Shingyouji was the type of seme I like in BL; forceful, rash, arrogant, confident but still shy. Think of Megane Katsuya or Takanori Midou from Kichiku Megane. The whole manga was mostly smut and the confession was only in the last chapter. (Talk about working backwards LOL) I enjoyed the story as I did with other Ougi Yuzuha work.


Cast:
Koyasu Takehito X Kondo Takashi


The drama CD was pretty fine. At the time Kondo Takashi was still pretty much a newbie in BL voice-acting even though I have heard him in Crimson Spell. He improved quite a bit with better timed moaning and other sounds. And Koyasu Takehito...well he pulled it off as always with his forever mature and deep sounding voice. Koyasu-san has a unique voice, it's the type that once you hear once you'll probably recognize later on in other CDs or animes. I'm pretty sure he had a role in UraBoku.
There was background music in this CD :D At least the sound production company wasn't lazy in giving fujoshis the full experience.


The drama CD flows well with the manga too with some extra lines here and there and a few missing scenes. So yes you can read the manga while listening to the CD.

Love Seeker Manga & Drama CD

Guess I'll start from square one :3 this was one of the many BL mangas I read when I first started getting into the fujoshi world. Also one of the most hardcore if I do say so myself :P




Love Seeker by Tatsukawa Kazuto
Love Seeker is a series of two stories and one extra. While the two stories have little to do with each other, there are characters who are a part of each of the stories.
First Story: Tomura is an office geek; small, shy, and someone easily picked on/forced to finish other people's work. He has decided to finally confess his love to his female co-worker Shinoyama. Mistakenly though, he ends up confessing his love to Miura Keijirou because he took off his glasses. Keijirou is Tomura's opposite; handsome, tall and the girls love him. After going out for a meal Keijirou offers to help Tomura by being his "love messenger". Will Keijirou really be of help, or will he be more of a hindrance to Tomura?
2nd story (Main) Nanjo is asked by his friend Kenji to be a replacement gigolo for him. After giving Nanjo the information Kenji bolts so Nanjo can't refuse the job. It turns out that Kyousuke, the client, buys gigolos just to talk to. Because of his position where he works it's hard for him to find someone he can just talk to. With Nanjo's egotistical and blunt way of speaking will this one night job last as long as it should, or is this the start of a wonderful friendship? Summary from MangaFox.com




Review
Rating: Good
The manga well wasn't bad at all if you're the type who go for smutty and cute stories with some pointless drama in it. Tomura is your stereotypical nerdy air-headed megane whom you always have to look out for and his seme is the reliable type no questions asked. I didn't really enjoy the first story as much as the second but hey, it adds to the cuteness.
Second Story HOLY ASKAHSSDHKHLKJ.
There is smut, fluff and drama. All of the things that make up for a good drama CD. Yum :3


Here is the cast:
Nanjou: Toriumi Kousuke
Kyousuke: Narita Ken
Tomura: Fukuyama Jun
Keijirou: Hiyama Nobuyuki


I was honestly surprised I mean it's Fukuyama JUN. He almost used the same voice he did in Okane ga Nai. Reeeaallly high-pitched... I found myself skipping through most of it. And note I'll mostly be talking about the ukes in these CDs unless they are pretty well-known seme VAs. E.g Midorikawa Hikaru. 
And now Toriumi Kousuke...He's one of my favourite seiyuus and he definitely did not disappoint in this CD. He well depicted Nanjou's sexy, serious and hyper personality quite well. OH And Narita Ken sounds really deep and sexy >W< But forgive me but I'm going to be kinda biased since it's the uke's voice I normally look forward too ;w; gosh I'm a perv xD which reminds me this CD had some realistic sound effects, the wet and squishy sounds for more pleasurable listening.  P.S I only listen to the CD. I DON'T use it for watever reason you think I do.


That's all for this review! Be sure to check out this manga if you can. The drama CD flows well with the manga so you can read and listen at the same time. 
Srry if this review looks plain now... I'll upload pictures soon ;w;
