doushitemo furetakunai

I didn't know Doushitemo furetakunai by Yoneda Kou had been made into a drama CD! I have listened to it twice and have fallen in love with the story all over again. They did a *great* job with this one. It helped that it was a two disc set, so they could develop the story properly. The voice actors were wonderful. Shima was done by Nojima Kenji, Togawa by Ishikawa Hideo. I don't know the latter, but the former I'm quite familiar with through the Kusareen no housoku drama CDs. He plays Ryuuhei, a very happy-go-lucky character, in that one. What a difference! In any case, love love love this drama CD. Not too much sex, not *too* much angst (the weakest part of the story had been when there was too much full-blown angst, IMO), and I love hearing the line about Shima being so expressionless he's like an ornament so he should be called "Shima-chan" to at least make his name cute.

Chocolate mitsudo by Sakiya Haruhi and illustrated by Nekota Yonezou

Chocolate mitsudo by Sakiya Haruhi and illustrated by Nekota Yonezou is a supremely conventional story that I love to pieces. It's about a young guy, not particularly sharp or especially stupid, who is thrown into a very confusing and distressing situation--a very sexy, very overpowering man swoops in and fucks up his life. There are so many things about it I'd usually hate, but somehow this author made this character so appealing to me that I just feel for him instead of picking apart the story. Also, the art is pretty! There are cute dogs! I even love reading the sex scenes! There is almost no bad in this book for me. XD

Shiroyama Kouji is a carefree college student who enjoys clubbing and having casual sex with both guys and girls. He's introduced to a part-time job dog-sitting two adorable Corgis for a sculptor, Kazami Masato. Kazami is not only talented, he's uber hot. But there's no instant attraction between the two. Kouji is a good kid and works hard. Kazami takes a shine to him. Unfortunately, things completely change thanks to a misunderstanding...
