I'm so glad I broke down and bought the Papa to Kiss in the Dark novel, because it is sooo much better than the anime and drama CD. I know it would seem like a no-brainer, but I was wary because I didn't know if I'd like the writing style. Well, it is in Mira first person POV and is just like his narration in the OVA and CD. Except with more coherence to the scenes and story. When I watched the anime and listened to the drama CD, I was puzzled as to how/when/why Mira decided that he and Kyousuke shouldn't have sex anymore. It seemed....kind of out of the blue. As if he had woken up one day and thought, I'm 15 and entering high school now, this should stop now. But in the novels you get a bit more detail, to show that Mira initially didn't realize that he and Kyousuke didn't just have an abnormal father-son relationship, but that their relationship was actually something you shouldn't talk about publicly. I love the details the novels provide, such as all the silly adorable things Mira used to say as a child. Or that Kyousuke supposedly named him after the Mila Schön brand cigarettes he loves. Or the random little comments Mira makes to himself. The little details that flesh out the characters and their relationships more fully, and fill out each scene so that everything seems to flow better.

The scene after Mira's first day of school, when they have sex in the living room? When Kyousuke jokes that he has his favorite food right in front of him and wants to taste Mira, Mira thinks that just a while ago, he might have said something disgustingly cute like "Papa, please eat me gently?" But he's no longer that adorable Mira...though even as he tries to stop things from proceeding his body quickly responds to Kyousuke's actions. The food joke continues with Mira saying his body heated up more quickly than something being microwaved. He wonders if he's even easier than a bento from a convenience store bento. His body quickly becomes "good for eating" in no time. I know it's cheesy, but it's such a fun cheesy. XDXD

Well, RL last week was pretty insane for me, and I tend to engage in insane activities to compensate. I finally gave in and listened to the Papa to Kiss in the Dark drama CD because I was rewatching the crack that is the anime and got curious. I'm so glad I did because the sex is so cheesy that it's a lot of fun to listen to. Miki is just...too perfect. I can't imagine how he could keep his voice serious as he voiced some of the most awfully cheesy lines ever (and I mean ever) by a seme. It's even funnier contrasted with the angsting and resisting (in that pathetic uke way) Midorikawa. XDXD I loved it all so much, that I started translating the drama...the sex scenes only, basically. I am far too lazy to bother with the whole thing, when a good deal of the storyline overlaps with the anime. It was the sex that had been cut short, and a pity that it had been. In any case, I highly recommend the drama CD. I'll provide the CD via YSI:

Papa to Kiss in the Dark

and the completely unproofed translation of most of the sex scenes )

I can not stress just how cracktastic and silly it is. It's so bad it's good. It brought me great joy and laughter during a very stressful time. Also, MIKI IS GOD. Ijou.

I wasn't able to sleep last night, so I did the only logical thing I could: finish watching the OVA and write up a summary. God, I love this OVA. It is so bad, but endearing and absolutely hilarious. Midorikawa and Miki are perfect in their roles. I also did a summary of the first OVA.

I got the torrent, which includes both OVAs with Chinese subtitles in rmvb format, from [livejournal.com profile] oiyaoi. A link to the torrent on her blog. I hope to get an avi format version at some point.

Summary and commentary )

WELL...I guess I liked it a lot (I should have realized it after my OVA reaction post as well as the post going off about the novels). For those who will download and watch the raw of Papa to Kiss in the Dark (torrent here) and can't understand Japanese, I have a wonderful present for you. I wasted several hours of my life doing a summary of this OVA. I hope it's useful to someone...

i can't believe i did this )

I also learned that OVA 2 comes out in Japan on 12/21. I can't believe I'm looking forward to seeing that, too. *sighs*

Edit: I love LJ. After posting this I checked the flist and discovered via [livejournal.com profile] bl_dramas a Megaupload link for both the OVA and the Character Song album here. The album includes the ending song for the OVA, which I've grown to like... XDXD

Edit 2: I don't know how I missed it, but I just discovered that the cd dramas are available at [livejournal.com profile] bl_dramas here.

HAHAHA

Saw Papa to In the Dark (thank goodness for friends who can torrent and send files to me XDXD I want my settings back so that I can torrent too...) and laughed way too much.

cut for nonsensical babbling )

GAR. I went back to Book-Off to check on Black Cat last night, and what did I find? Volume 15!! But everything above 16 was gone...so now I have everything up to volume 20, which I don't even have scans for. ;_; But now my suspicions about tachi-yomi guy the other day have been confirmed (in my mind). He was reading volume 20 when I went back and found 18! I just know it! Because earlier I didn't see 18, but it shows up an hour later? He was done with that (and 19) and was reading 20! Had to be! I don't see why Book Off would come in with everything except 20, after all...*mutters darkly*

Today I heard of a BL OVA called Papa to In the Dark (Kiss in the Dark with Papa). I was curious about the story (and was up waay too early for my own good), so I did some searching. There was a nice blurb on the Yes Asia listing that told me the basic story, that Midorikawa, Miki and Koyasu are in the cast, and that it was based on novels. So...I went off to Amazon Japan to find out more about the novels. There are four novels, the first one with the same title as the OVA, then (in what order I don't know) Shower on the Beach with Papa, Deep in the Forest with Papa, and Loving All Night with Papa. I found all of these titles extremely funny, but also very disturbing. ^_^; The best thing about looking into the novels were reading the reviews. OMG I love happy fangirls. One reviewer:

"This was the first BL work I ever read! Papa is the best...v (laugh)

"But! I really thought Mira-kun and Kyousuke-san were really father and son at first (sweatdrop). Kind of like "Huh? Incest...?" (laugh) Well, in any case it's incest (1) and Mira-kun is cute, so it can't be helped~ (Huh) Well, if you read it you'll understand his cuteness (star) Kyousuke-san is really great, too~! He's sexy (laugh) and a real technician...Mira-kun is always capitulating (music note) Even you'll be far gone on Papa, who's so good at being indulgent! Also, Mira-kun's one-person comedic act (?) is funny~ (star) It's definitely worth reading! You're view of life might change!! (laugh) <-- Mine did (laugh)"

In Shower on the Beach with Papa, there's a side story called "Between the Sheets with Papa" that features sex in a hospital. I love the "(something in english) with papa" pattern.


Oh, and I keep seeing references to Yamane Ayano doing Gankutsuou doujinshi on the flist (I don't know if it's just from the comm or what), but I don't think this has been posted, so I decided to scan it in. Pretty pic!

Gankutsuou by Yamane Ayano in Pafu )

It just occurred to me now that I don't have a "bl" tag. I don't want to go back and edit my posts...I'm so bad at tag management. *sighs*
