Overall, the story is quite cute, amusing even... That is, if you’re able to fully understand most, if not everything, of what they’re saying. However, if you intend to listen to this drama, but are not yet considerably fluent in Japanese, I would advise you to read the translation WHILE listening to it, if not reading it BEFORE you do. The intonation can be quite misleading, unlike other dramas where you can get the gist of the story and the characters' emotions by just listening to the tone even if you're able to understand only several Japanese words.

I agree with HanaTenshiHimeko that Hori's seiyuu(Takeuchi Ken) voiced out everything perfectly, also that Takasuga's seiyuu(Ichijou Kazuya) was a bit more... evil-sounding than he should have been... Maa~ considering what he's been hiding(sort-of), it's understandable that he have an almost dual-personality. It's quite surprising how the seemingly kind and gentle Takasuga suddenly transitioned to kichiku mode though.

It’s slightly disturbing/annoying how some occurrences are made light of by Takasuga, which Hori also makes slide eventually after some-unsatisfactory- explanation, it definitely leaves an impression of the seme being either a jerk, childish, or just that confident in himself. Hori is quite cool, taking everything in stride(with some light tantrums), and not allowing himself to be constantly and fully domineered by Takasuga(although he still does give in… he really loves Takasugi a lot). Maa~ all for the glory of BL, I guess? LOL.

A reminder, Hori is not too fond of his younger brother right from the start, so you can just imagine the sort of friends his brother would have, and it doesn't help that the way they speak is like the stereotypical jock/chauvinist/frivolous-type, so hearing their conversation tone might give the impression that they're just messing around with Hori, when in fact, the scene is showing a doting, possessive Takasuga, and even possibly, a caring younger brother.

Urgh, I wanna kill the voice actor who did Takasuga's role. Most of the time, his voice acting seem out of place and doesn't convince me. When I thought his voice was supposed to be soft and sound concern, he sounds akwardly tough and doesn't seem to fit in that situation. And at one part, he said, "Yes" that sound too playful for that situation. He needs more practice. -___-# However, the voice acting of Hori was perfect and I was pleased with it.

The storyline is pretty interesting, however it started to go down and so my rating went down as well. However, I heard there is a sequel to the novel, so I could understand why it was heading that way. I was shocked at the ending of the Drama CD of the revealed truths. Argh, this makes me want to get my hand on the sequel to find out the ending.

Transltions....this is among Namonai's earliest work, so it wasn't written as in script form (the written part of sound noises). There are some part where I thought Namonai could had translate it better, but I don't hold that against Namonai since the translation was done as close as possible to the Japanese language. Thank you taking you time to translate this Drama CD!! /('o')/
