insanenekoI listened to two CD dramas today to take a break from a marathon podcast session...There's only so much gloomy business news I can listen to before going nuts, after all. ^^;
Yome ni konaika is from a manga that I've mentioned before about a normal salaryman who has a "bride" move in with him without his consent. The bride is a man, gorgeous and skilled in all that a housewife should be good at (He's also skilled at fucking his husband good! XD). The salaryman is a bit slow and a bit dense and stands no chance against his smart and insistent bride. In any case, the drama is hilarious. Morikawa Toshiyuki is the logical choice to play the put-upon salaryman husband and he does a fabulous job. The "bride" is played perfectly by Koyasu...I love how he voices him with a high pitch and with that wonderful humble politeness that comes from the traditional housewife role. I'm glad they decided to concentrate on the comedy aspects and not bother voicing the sex scenes...It made the narrative run very smoothly.
The side story about the poor neighbor of the happy newlyweds is hilarious as well. Whoever the voice is for that is just...perfect. I love his incredulity as he watches the entire neighborhood treat the "bride" as a normal wife...
Aikagi is based on a novel by Yuuki Kazumi and illustrated by Sakuragi Yaya, which I read a long time ago and hadn't bothered talking about. It's a very conventional story about a normal salaryman who is raped by his younger brother, falls down the stairs while trying to leave afterwards, and loses his memory. What follows is some angst between the two brothers as one tries to regain his memory (and deal with these unnatural feelings he develops over the course of the story for his younger brother) and the other tries to get over his feelings that had caused the whole mess in the first place. It's silly and fluffy and tries to be angsty but ends happily, of course. I don't know the voice actors who play the two brothers, but I do like the husky voice of the older brother. XD The voice of the younger brother sometimes sounded like he's just reading a script instead of acting the part, but he got better deeper into the story. The drama, like the novel, is supremely conventional...But it was pleasant to listen to.
