BL DRAMA CD: GENZAI series

I decided to introduce this series in one post because there's not much to say about it. Not that it is bad quality or anything, just it is what it is - a very well-acted but typical BL Drama. There are more novels that continue the story, about four to date. There may even be more CDs to come given the huge lag time betwen release of part one (Yuuzai) and part two (Genzai).

As much as I love Kosugi-seme - what a voice - he comes off as really flat this time. It's not a fault of Kosugi's voice acting though; it's the character he is portraying. So in a roundabout way to say Kosugi sounds flat and lifeless is a compliment. His character is not able to associate normally with people merely because he never learned how so he comes off as distant and uninterested in others. Unemotional to sum it up in one word. And Kosugi carries it off beautifully.

Midorikawa plays the younger uke and he does a great job, too. I'm not in particular a fan of Midorin, but I can't see anyone else fitting this part as well as he does. I only wish Kazuhiko had a larger role.

Oh, and in case you were hanging on wondering... LOTS of smex. Yet they manage to work in a lot of smex without turning it into a completely PWP drama like Big Gun wo Motsu Otoko. o.o

Anyway, back to packing.
Stay tuned and happy listening~! (^_-)-☆
