I was instantly drawn to this CD when I saw Noki Yuusei-san's name, then I read the description and was pretty intrigued by the weird setting of the heroine transformed into a Thumbelina by a mad scientist. I wasn't sure of what to expect, but I was extremely pleased with what I got. The main character, Yousuke, is a total nutjob, his train of thought is beyond comprehension, and I love it. He is completely obsessed with the heroine and wants to fulfill her every wish and need, nevertheless, his methods are a bit (immensely, actually) peculiar (and criminal). However, he is one of those characters you simply cannot hate, no matter what he does, partly because he does it without a hint of malice, and also, because of Noki-san's amazing performance. He delivers the character's grossness, cuteness, and insanity in both a disturbing and fascinating way. If you're searching for a charismatic psycho and/or an unconventional setting, you can't miss this one!

First, it's Kakki-san for free!
Second, the story is super enjoyable and fun. At first, when I read about the mean colleague I was afraid he might be annoying, but no! I really liked him from the start! He is a bit snappy with the heroine because she's incredibly clumsy, but he always explains her mistakes in detail so she can correct them and so. After the heroine has a close to death experience she starts "visiting" another world in her sleep. There she meets a man with the same face as his colleague who claims to be her husband, and is the exact opposite to him, like he's super clumsy, sweet and docile. At first he came across as shallow, but as I spend time with him I couldn't help but love him.

This is the story of a girl who is married to save her family from ruin to a painter from a wealthy family. He makes erotic paintings and only wanted a wife to use her as a model for his art. He's in constant distress because his art not only is misunderstood but considered illegal during that era and has to work clandestinely.

The story is engaging, the pacing is good and the erotic scenes do not dissapoint! The icing on the cake is Noki Yuusei-san's excellent performance!

To be honest I didn't understand much since it's a reading of a literary work and I'm not proficient enough to understand something like that, however, I really enjoyed it, the voice actor has a pleasant relaxing voice and his reading is clear and well paced. The audio comes in three versions, one with background rain, which I think is the original audio the voice actor recorded himself, other with foley sounds added, and a third one with only his voice.

I think what I liked the most of this work was Hirano-san's voice. Her voice is very pleasant, and the tone she uses for this audio is so soothing. The scenario is rather common but nicely done. The pacing is good and the relationship between the characters is well protrayed. If the boss didn't repeat unnecesarily the heroine's dialogues at times the narrative would feel more fluid, though. Also, despite being in the title her yandere level is not so high so don't expect much in that regard, in case you like hardcore yanderes like I do. The erotic scene was a bit mild but nice overall, I only wish a version without the SE was included because they felt kinda off.

Though running time is short the content is so fulfilling. Takatori-san has a naturally charming voice and the dialect enhances it. I could listen to his voice forever. Already said this, this work includes a standard japanese version too, in case you're not into the Kyoto dialect or you find it hard to understand. It also includes an audio without the SE for each version, which I appreciated since I didn't like much the SE.
The story is pretty straightforward yet delightsome. The florist is captivating, a perfect balance between gentleman and sassy. If you're looking for a heartwarming spicy story this might be the one.

This CD is quite the rollercoaster. At first I didn't like it much because the pacing felt off, but there's a perfectly good reason for that. I still believe the story is a bit too abridged, it could do more running time, nonetheless is enjoyable enough as it is.
Then Haoran is really something, I don't know whether I love him or hate him or what. I don't want to say much, but he is more than just a masochist mafia boss. That ending made it all worthwhile.

The story goes like this: your boyfriend who is incompetent at work goes after the new female employee and dumps you, as expected the atmosphere in the office is aweful and to make it worse the boss is pushing your ex's work onto you, you tell your male coworker who's always supported you that you're considering quitting but he has a better idea: to get revenge by showing your ex you can succeed at the work he couldn't teaming up with your new boyfriend, and of course, he offers to play the role.

I didn't really read the description so the story wasn't entirely to my liking, there's too much bickering between the fake boyfriend and the ex for my taste, but if you enjoy the kind of situation in which a guy stands up for you and puts your jerkish ex in his place then this is exactly what you need to listen to.
