Aisaresugite xx Sarechau - Gekiama Joushi & Kichiku Joushi Comparison

I think this is the first time that I’ve actually made a comparison post about two linked CDs, but I noticed so many similarities and interesting links between the two that I felt like writing this. Spoilers, as far as you can call them that, all around so read at your own discretion.

愛されすぎて××されちゃう CD 激甘上司 &  鬼畜上司

Like I mentioned in the actual reviews, each Aisaresugite CD has two versions – a sweet one and a twisted one. You can compare them to the good and bad end routes in an otome game. The stories are partly the same, and split somewhere after you make a choice. With this being a CD, the choice is obviously being made for you ;)

For this CD the story splits depending on whether you choose to remain living with your boss-turned-boyfriend or insist on living separately.

But even before that they are not entirely the same. The Gekiama version starts with you catching a cold after a long day of work, and skips right to the time you went drinking together to celebrate your recovery. The Kichiku version one the other hand only references you catching a cold last week, and includes the actual invite to go drinking. His confession is slightly different as well; in the Kichiku version his voice almost breaks when saying that he loves you, while it is more subdued in the Gekiama version.

What I find interesting is that he promised to not do anything to you when you start living at his place – and he seems to have kept that promise in both versions. It is only after you’ve accepted his feelings, after he sees you as his own, that things start to get out of hand in the Kichiku version. And it is not like his possessive trait is entirely absent in the Gekiama version either. In the track where you have a fever he mentions that “he wouldn’t let you go even if you wanted to”.

Besides this there are other sentences that are used in both CDs “Omae ha ore dake wo mireba ii” (“you should/ only have to look at me”) and “Ore nashi de irarenai you ni” (“so that you can’t do without me”) for example. The difference is the context in which they are said; in the Gekiama version they add to the cuteness of the CD, and only make you love him more. In the Kichiku version they are said in a way that make you want to run away as fast as you can, and serve to illustrate how possessive (and insane) he is.

Another parallel can be found in the 3^rd track. In both versions he mentions that he never really trusted people, and never had any deeper bonds/relationship with anyone, but that he trusts you. In the Gekiama CD this is a sign of how much he trusts and loves you, in the Kichiku one it is followed by threatening to hurt you should you ever betray him. BUT in the Gekiama version he also says that he was covertly trying to keep other guys away from you. Which, once again, sounds sweet in the context of that particular CD, but when combined with the Kichiku one it gains a few implications.

The kouhai scene is obviously scene with the most similarities. It even starts the same in both CDs, although it gives a totally different vibe thanks to a different tone of voice. The part where you can hear him both through the phone and right next to you sound cute and happy in the Gekiama version, while you can already sense the tension in the Kichiku one.

Technically they follow exactly the same pattern. Your kouhai helping you with work results in your boss/boyfriend  being jealous, which results in sex at the office. And once again the Gekiama version turns this into a sweet scenario (making out in the office to express/prove his love in a more physical way) while the Kichiku version twists it (sex as punishment for “betrayal”). Both are pretty graphic btw.

There are two other things that caught my attention. While it may just have been pushed to the background in the Kichiku version, it was pretty interesting to see that you were slightly jealous in the Gekiama version as well. You call him out twice - the first time when you confront him about the rumours at the office, the second time when you want to know who else he took to his favourite hotel (no one btw, he used to go there on his own).

The second thing I noticed is the difference in the amount of H scenes. In the Gekiama version only the kouhai/sex at the office scene contains actual love making, along with the (un)appropriate squelchy sounds. The Kichiku version on the other hand you are treated to your first sex(ual abuse) scene in the fourth track, along with two extra scenes afterwards – both of them pretty abusive. Interestingly enough the Gekiama version is actually equally explicit, but lot more sensual.

Listening to both CDs shortly after each other, I can’t help but feel that they are tied together pretty good. Certain elements appear in both CDs, and there are traces of possessiveness even in the Gekiama CD, although you are less likely to notice them if you don’t listen to the other one first.

Precisely because of that reason I’d recommend listening to the Gekiama one first, otherwise certain sentences might trigger a rather traumatic déjà vu (at least for me that was what happened).

I hope you enjoyed my ramblings about these two CDs.

Aisaresugite xx Sarechau CD - Kichiku Joushi

愛されすぎて××されちゃうCD 『鬼畜上司』　

Label: Melty Drop 
Based on: Original
Released: 2013.08.23
Official site　

Aisaresugite xx Sarechau is a CD series where you are ''loved too much by your'' boyfriend. There are two versions for each release – a sweet version and a more twisted version. Both versions start the same and have similar situations, but are slightly different. Vol.2 has Hirai Tatsuya (Hirakawa Daisuke) as your boss at work.

This version is titled Kichiku Joushi, which would mean something like Brutal Boss, as a Kichiku is someone who treats others in a cruel manner. So don’t expect another cute CD like the Gekiama version ;)

The start of the story is almost the same as the Gekiama version – one day you have to return to work in the evening because you forgot your phone, and meet your boss who is still working. You end up going out to drink together. While you are out drinking there is a fire your apartment building and because it is the middle of the night and you have nowhere else to go your boss offers you a spare room in his apartment.

You end up staying there for a while searching for your own place. When you've found one and tell him you will sign the contract soon he asks you whether you don’t want to stay at his place in stead and confesses his feeling for you (the way his voice almost breaks when he does is too precious).

In the this version you accept his feelings but tell him that you still want to live separately because you are worried about rumours at work, which triggers a jealousy switch in your now boyfriend. Unfortunately for you and fortunately for him, it seems there was a double booking and you are unable to get the new apartment, and end up staying at his place after all.

His jealousy behaviour continues; after finishing a deal with a customer he seems in a bad mood because  the customer was an old classmate of yours, and he is convinced that you were flirting with the guy. And thus you end up going straight to a hotel room where you have to be taught exactly who’s woman you are... and not in a gentle manner either

He orders you to strip, and makes it very clear that you shouldn’t try to disobey. He continues with what he is doing even though you are obviously afraid and crying.  Also introduction of the squelchy  sounds (>_<) ... He also appears to be carrying handcuffs with him. Well prepared indeed.

This time in the kouhai scene you didn’t mention that your kouhai had been helping you with overwork untill a few moments ago, and he discovers this (in fact, he ordered the guy to help you to test your loyalty). Obviously  „punishment“ ensues; he drags you into a meeting room and forces you to masturbate for him.

Not unexpectedly, you are upset about how you were treated, and tell him you want to leave his apartment the next day. But telling a yandere you want to leave is probably the worst thing you can do. I won’t be going into details but the next few scenes involve a photo album of when you were asleep or passed out after you slept together, a blindfold made out of the necktie you once gave him as a present, more squelchy sounds, and numerous implications that you will never be leaving this room again...

The first and second part of this CD are so different they could have been two different CDs. Which makes sense since this is basically the same story as the Gekiama version, except that things went very very wrong this time. He won’t go full yandere on you immediately (the first punishment scene has far less yandere vibes than the final scene for example) but the change in attitude is still pretty huge.

When mentioning that you want to move out we see the first glimpses of jealousy, and that this has the potential to escalate. Which it obviously does. While I do see the Kichiku (brutal) part at first (he is being incredibly rough and sadistic ) it switches into Yandere a little later. So much as looking at another guy or not mentioning someone was with you is considered betrayal, and is followed by sexual punishment, while he grows incredibly jealous and wants you “all to himself”. That room you were unable to get? That wasn't a coincidence.

Hirakawa-san has proved his skill in voicing yandere characters before, and lives up to that here. Honestly, that man can breathe in a way that is terrifying. It also reminded me that while he can sound adorable if he wants (the title call is the most adorable things ever), I really do love it when he uses his deeper voice. Even if the character happens to be a sadistic yandere.

Conclusion
Those who know me probably know that I love Yanderes and that I love Hirakawa-san, so obviously I am partial towards this CD. However it also reminded me that R18 is not really my thing. Especially if any H scenes are accompanied by gracious amounts of squelchy noises. I know the title says Kichiku, but if you ask me this is 95% Yandere.

While the Gekiama version really is a sweet CD that I can recommend to almost anyone (if you can stand R18, that is), this version should probably best be avoided if you don’t know what you are dealing with. It is definitely a bad CD to start with if you’re not familiar with either R18 or Yandere CDs, but if you like both; go for it!  So umm, yeah, listen at your own discretion ;)

Aisaresugite xx Sarechau CD - Gekiama Joushi

愛されすぎて××されちゃうCD 『激甘上司』

Label: Melty Drop

Aisaresugite xx Sarechau is a CD series where you are ''loved too much by your boyfriend''. There are two versions for each release – a sweet version and a more twisted version. Both versions start the same and have similar situations, but are slightly different. Vol.2 has Hirai Tatsuya (= Hirakawa Daisuke) as your boss at work.

At the start of the CD you nearly collapse from stress after working way too hard. However, your boss notices that you have a fever and sends you home. A few days later you go drinking together to celebrate you that recovered. While you are out drinking there is a fire at your apartment building and because it is the middle of the night and you have nowhere else to go he offers you a spare room in his apartment.

You end up staying there for a while searching for a new place. When you've found one and tell him you will sign the contract soon, he asks you whether you don’t want to stay at his place instead and confesses his feelings for you. In this version you accept and you start living together.

The rest of the CD are three scenes of your life together. The first is when you return from a meeting, and he takes you into a different meeting room so that you can report the details. And so that you can be alone of course. You confront him about his relationship with a colleague, but he tells you that those are just rumours, and tells you how much he loves and trusts you instead.

The second scene is on a business trip together. Because this is your first business trip you are too conscious about everything and end up getting a fever because of the stress. Luckily you have the sweetest boyfriend in the world to take care of you.

The last scene also appears in the Kichiku version; You were working overtime in the weekend, and a kouhai was helping you. Your kouhai has already left by the time your boyfriend arrives with lunch (and feeds it to you xD). He worries that the kouhai might like you, and grows slightly jealous. He ends up taking you into a meeting room, saying that it might be his fault for not showing how much he loves you enough, and you end up doing it right there.

On the taxi ride home he falls asleep on your shoulder, which is probably the most adorable moment in the entire CD.

This CD is sweet! The story may not be very original – due to circumstances you end up living together with someone and end up falling in love, with an added bonus of the guy already falling in love long before that. The CD pays more attention to the time afterwards though, and those scenes are super sweet.

The effect of the dummy head mic is most obvious when he is whispering something close to you, and I literally mean whispering. My biggest problem with the H scenes are the squelchy sounds. I don’t know whether it is false modesty or that they tend to distract me, they make me uneasy. Besides that the H is somewhat subdued, despite being fairly desciptive. And they eventually do fade out.

Conclusion:
Having listened to the Kichiku version first I never expected this CD to be this sweet. It feels like a completely different series. If you plan on listening to both it is probably best to listen to this one first, otherwise certain sentences might trigger flashbacks to the other version. Although I suppose there is something to be said for listening to this to heal any wounds the Kichiku version will might inflict.

If you’re not sure about listening to this one: give it a try, it is more sweet than anything else. You could always skip the H part if that really isn't your thing.
