官能昔話6 ~戦国恋絵巻~

Kannou Mukashi returns! And how! The moment I saw this I wanted to listen to it, but seeing how I was supposed to go to work that wasn't the best moment. I did have something to look forward to the entire day though. The review is once again a bit long because I'm reviewing all the tracks separately (^-^;)

Kannou Mukashi Banashi ~Sengoku Koi Emaki~

Recap: Kannou Mukashi Banashi is a series that tells well know tales in a... slightly different way. Each volume contains several stories, all done by a different seiyuu. The series uses a special recording method called 3D dummy microphone, a microphone shaped like a face. using this technology you can hear the voice of the seiyuu as if they're talking right into your ear (when using headphones or earphones.

This volumes centers on stories from warlords in the sengoku era. This means that all characters that are mentioned are actually historical people. The stories though... that is probably a whole different story *smirk*

The prologue and epilogue, are once again done by Inoue Kazuhiko. The prologue is always something to look forward too. This one made me even happier than normal because he thanks everyone for listening and mentions that 'this will not be the last time we meet'. Other than that the prologue is as wonderfully suggestive as always.

The first story is that of Oda Nobunaga and is told by Suzumura Kenichi. The story centers on his arranged marriage with the daughter of another warlord. In the beginning he treats her almost like an enemy, but rapidly becomes attracted to her. Especially his attitude in the beginning is sexy~

The second story is that of Date Masamune and is told by Miki Shinichirou. Masamune is injured when he is small and loses his right eye, after which his mother scorns for his ugly looks. The story is about Masamune and his fiance, at first he assumes that she thinks of him as ugly just like every one else does. However she truly loves him. Miki Shinichirou his voice is already sexy when he is only talking, just imagine it getting close to your ear.

The third story is that of Hosokawa Tadaoki and is told by Hirakawa Daisuke. Again an arranged marriage is the center of this story (can't be helped, most marriages were arranged at that time). Tadaoki only sees his marriage as a purely political matter, but becomes very protective of his wife. What can I say? It is Hirakawa Daisuke, whispering in my ear, and he goes slightly yandere over protective. WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR? I thought that I fell asleep during his story, twice, but I probably literally fainted while listening to his voice xD

The last story centers on young Yoroku and Kiheiji. The two of them end up going on a fetch quest to get something for Uesugi Kenshin. After the more serious first three stories this one is much lighter to the point of comical.

The previous volumes of Kannou Mukashi Banashi used to tell the stories in such a way that everything got a double meaning. The later volumes were a bit more direct, but in this one there is no doubt about what is going on. At all. The epilogue was pure overkill. Wait for Inoue Kazuhiko's "I'll be back", it is guaranteed to send you into a final fit of giggling and squeeling <3
