美しいこと
1st
Rate: 9/10
H Rate: 1/10. There was really only one scene, and it was pseudo-rape-ish (and extremely important to the story) x_x~ CD 2 Track 2 – uhyaaaaaa kimoi sugitan
Blab: WHY DID I NOT LISTEN TO THIS EARLIER. XD THIS THING IS LIKE… OTOME DREAMS..
It took me to end of track 6 on the first CD to finally realize it, but this is totallllllllllly the shippable BL pair in Panic Palette *w*~~~~~~~~~~~
Even better, both of the seiyuu use my favorite voice style for BL for this drama series~ Sugitan in subdued, iyashi-kei seme, and Suzuki in normal-sounding manly voice but with just the slightest, subtle touch of feminism at times to bring in the uke~

slow (not in a bad way), longggggg, and angst yummmmmmeh. Totally did nottttttt expect this kind of story from the cover, and good thing I didn’t. XD This drama series is definitely not for the light of attention or heart, because it is 4 full CDs of two guys trying to coming to terms with each other. And it takes its heart-wrenching time to do so. There’s also a good amount of secondary cast, and they keep things interesting without getting in the way too much. XD

My pillow was practically soaked in WAIL by the end of it since I listened to all four in a single run (the first two while on my computer and the last two while lying around in bed XD).

I felt that Suzuki was a litttttle overdoing it sometimes at the end of the first CD. It makes more sense after the end of the series though. Maybe it comes off better in the novel… ^^;

愛しいこと
Rate: 10/10
H Rate: 1/10. They did the whole “WE’RE GOING TO FADE OFF INTO THIS MUSIC WHICH MEANS THEY HAD SEX. THE END” ORZ
Blab: Top rate cuz I’m a freaking angst masochist when it comes to BL. But it has to have a long, happy ending for me to say it was worth it all. And it was.

This comment is 100% coming off from the current times, but what I would do to be in Hirosue’s place during that lawyer’s office position offer…… AND HE…!! ARGH.

I applaud the performances, it was LONG AND A FUN TRAIN-BRAINWRECK-RIDE…… OTSUKARE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, this is the first drama series I’ve really decided to start reading the novels they were based off of, so I hope they have stuff the drama didn’t cover \o/

I have to admit though, one thing keeping me from buying the original product (aside from amazonjp being the only place I can find BL novels that’ll ship internationally and their shipping rates are killer) is the smoking bits in the second half. I acknowledge that it’s …sadly… realistic, and they don’t stick with it in the very end, but nonetheless I’m avoiding supporting it monetarily whenever I can. It reminds me too much of a certain MBA person who will smoke whenever a client invites him to just to establish the business relationship… and this person claims he’s trying to reduce his carbon footprint =_=; I dunno though… there’s smoking in Messiah too, but I’ve managed to forgive that in the end (especially since Takuto specifically quits altogether in the perfect end with Ryouta ). A similar thing happens in this story, but it just didn’t come off as cute to me somehow. I might also change my mind with this series after reading the novels. Let’s seeeee.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
It was fun comparing the subtle places that were changed from the manga and drama. Mostly ones I’d predicted anyway. XD I was hoping they’d dramatize the extra section at the end of the manga too, but I suppose that would’ve been pretty difficult, since it was mostly dealing with pictures. XD; But it was still so adorable. moerunaaaaaaaaaaa. And JunJun talks about it in the free talk at least <3 ~ Nakamura said he wanted to do it in the booklet XD~ I wonder what all the shuffling was in the Free Talk though owo; The scripts I guess... XD; Still... total OTP. This one will be getting many re-reads and re-listens. March 2011 note: Re-read the manga recently. This work stands the test of time for me. ~ Takarai Rihito's works stalking, begin! :D

Blab:
I do believe this is my favorite Noji-nii H scene in bl drama ever. XD~
Based off the 『SILENT CAGE』 ending. When I was playing the game, I didn’t think much of this ending, mostly because I thought it was supposed to be a BAD ending. But according to the Trinity artbook, I think it’s a good ending still… o.O;
Anyway, after listening to this drama CD, it’s a big eye-opener to Takuto and Ryouta’s relationship for this ending. So dark and angsty, yet so goooooooooood. Yeah.

Yes, I do like the happy endings from this game. Yes I do~
I did manage to listen to the 2nd CD once, I think… but I don’t remember it anyway >_>;
I wish, wish, wish they had continued on the H for Noji-nii because it was just getting geeeeeewd, but it’s also where the novel ended, so it would’ve been quite a bit to ask for, eh. It was good while it lasted!

Blab: Such a sweet, mellow yet heart-warming story… One of the few series that has inspired me to buy the manga itself after reading it all online. Also that it’s only two volumes is certainly a plus on my wallet. XD I HOPE THEY PUT THE SECOND VOLUME ONTO DRAMA TOO!!!!! They’ve dramatized the second volume after such a long time, yokattaaaaa~~~ \o/
