Ikenai seitokaishitsu (Midorikawa Hikaru x Ishida Akira, Tohchika Koichi, Kikuchi Masami, Iwata Mitsuo)
Why do I torture myself with these sort of things? Agh, who am I kidding, I always liked mediocre porn better than good porn. Direct reason for trying this out was Midorikawa-san being seme and Iwata-san just being there.
Summary, summary ... Midorikawa-san is the precident of the student council and is in love with Ishida-san who is a typical cute uke. Kohchika-san is an old friend of Ishida-san, and Midorikawa-san thinks they're dating. Much jealousy and drama ensures. (Not.) Just the fact that the uke is so typical makes me want to throw this in the trash, but I can bear with that because I know that's how many people like it. But the conflicts ... or rather, the solutions to them ...
The first conflict is the jealousy thing, and thank-you-god that's solved fairly early on in the story. Then comes the next conflict, which is actually quite interesting: Ishida-san's character likes to paint, but loses his self-confidence by comparing himself to a friend who has already sold a painting. He doesn't know if he should continue to study art or not, and it doesn't make it much better when Midorikawa-san's character laughs at him and says nothing but going to art school would suit him. Angst! Finding out what to do with one's life is something everyone is or has been experiencing, so even if it's a bit banal this should prove for interesting drama, right? Right? Wrong again. Midorikawa-san spends most of the story not even realizing what his boyfriend's problem is, and the whole thing is solved by Ishida-san apologizing. For what? Don't ask me. For the make-up sex, I'm guessing. Next time I want to listen to a BLCD for the cast, slap me. (Probably won't do much good, but you can try.)
Good things: I like Midorikawa-san's seme voice significantly better than his uke voice. He does comedy well, too. It seriously annoys me that he doesn't seem to be offered roles in good BL titles, because he is a good actor and he is willing to do BL. Casting directors everywhere owe it to us to give him good roles. Are you listening?! Also, Iwata-san plays a big guy who is in love with Midorikawa-san's character, and he is fabulous. He does long lines perfectly, of course, but is especially splendid in short utterances like "Yeah" and "Mmm-hmm". Really! In the last act there's an exchange between him and Midorikawa-san in which all Iwata-san says is "Yeah" "Okay" "Aha", and the timing and tone is so perfect the whole thing made me crack up. If this CD had been Iwata x Midorikawa (with Midorikawa-san keeping his seme voice), I'd probably have loved it.
The free talk cracked me up as well. I guess it's on purpose that vetran seiyu like Midorikawa-san and Ishida-san talk of faking voice-sex as if they actually were having sex (saying "I" instead of the name of the character, etc.), but it's fun nonetheless. I'm going to look forward to Kohchika-san being on top of you, too, Ishida-san.
That reminds me, note to self: Add Tohchika Koichi to list of seiyu to check out. He has natural boyish voice I quite like.
