*I can't find any official spellings for the names of the characters, and they have some pretty weird names so please forgive me my guessing at the romanization. If anyone does know the correct spelling, please let me know*

Oujisama ha Tadaima Dekasugichuu is a lightnovel series published by Kadokawa Bunko. The story is about the young prince Yuuto who is always trying to earn money to pay off his countries debt. As a result he is usually out doing all kinds of mercenary jobs together with two of his servants. And as it happens Yuuto is rather pretty, so all the guys are after him (or at least, seem to like him a biiiiiit too much).

This time Ciskal (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke) show Yuuto (CV: Kaji Yuuki) as pamflet for a tournament in a neighbouring country. Yuuto is lured in by the huge amount of money that is the prize money for the winner, and thus he sets off with his two servants, Tajis (CV: Ono Daisuke) and Iru (CV: Takahashi Hiroki).

The tournament itself is rather strange. You can only participate in groups of three, and not every match is a battle. Things like quizzes are also includes (giving Iru a chance to shine during a largely math related quiz).

Besides the tournament there are also some scenes where Yuuto his sister suddenly shows up, or where Yuuto strays off and meets Karmikal, who is wanted in several countries and seems to be a former acquaintance. And, of course, has a thing for Yuuto.

The characters are all bit crack: Yuuto has the usual "I'm not a girl" complex, while Tajis is always making remarks on how cute he is. Iru is a complete clutz, but highly skilled with magic. Yuuto his sister loves battles a bit too much, Ciscal seems to be always scheming. The opponents in the tournament are even stranger at times, but they usually hardly have more than 2 lines.

Maybe it is because I have never read the novels, but in my opinion it was all a bit run of the mill. Sure there are some funny moments, but I suppose you really need the background of the novels to understand a bit more about the character. (For example, Tajis transforming into a- I don't even know what he transformed into).


Conclusion:
If you've read the novels, go and listen. It is a good cast after all. If you haven't, your time is better spend on something else.

Kannou Jikan 6: Kougyoku no Kanzashi to Shiryuu no Ma~

I keep forgetting that I already listened to this. Dear Hituzigumo, I have listened to every Kannou Jikan until now, please make it stop. This is torture and I'm dying of bloodloss because of nosebleeding.... For those not familiar with it, Kannou Jikan is probably the most perverse drama/situation CD series on the market there is. For now at least. I fear for the future.

Plotwise, the setting this time is that you are the mistress of 'a certain kanmi dokoro'. (a kanmidokoro is like a cafe for japanese sweets, this is also probably a shout out to the first CD in the series). You are getting married soon, and tonight one of your former pupils (CV: Hiyama Nobuyuki) is visiting you before that happens.

So far so good. And then it turns out you were teaching him more than the inns and outs of sweets. Knowing that had feelings for you, you apparently made out numerous times although you never loved him. And now that you are getting married he is determined to give you one last passionate night so that you will never forget him.

This summary is embarrassing to write.

So yeah. All pretence is gone here. He actually declares that he is going to 'leave his mark' on your body so that you won't forget him. Not to mention that it is explicitly stated that you already had a sexual relationship. Not that we were expecting anything less ever since the last few entries to the series.

Hiyama-san is voice is really sexy. He is clearly turned on more than you are right from the beginning. And the sounds that they use for hypnosis this time is really effective. It might be because I was listening to this in the middle of the night and was sleepy, but I lost all sense of time, feeling like I had been listening to this for ages when it ended. I don't know whether that is a good thing or not, but what was certain is that I felt more comfortable than last time. Although that might simply be that my senses have gone dull when it comes to this series.

The free-talk was kind of cute. Hiyama-san is obviously slightly uncomfortable with the contents, saying that it was 'rather embarrassing'. But his talk about how the Dummy Head Mic looks like 'an old geezer' but that after a while he came to see it as a partner is cute.


Conclusion:
To me this is still one of the greatest "should not want" series there is. The perverted talk puts me off but it sounds. so. sexy it could make me faint. I will cling to my aversion for this series as my last hope for the fact that my mind isn't permanently in the gutter and that I am still a wholesome person. That said, if you liked the rest of the series you should probably listen to it.

Other than that, is this series rated R-18/Cero-Z/Adult only yet? If not, I wonder how you get all of this past the radar....
