Yandere Heaven Black: Seishin Gakuen Boys Dormitory

While we are already in Yandere-mode, why not do another yandere CD? And a BLCD as well, a rare find on this blog (^▽^;)

ヤンデレ天国BL～真誠学園男子寮編～

Company: Hobirecords
Based on: Original
Released: 2012.02.14
Official Site: http://www.hobirecords.com/yanderebl/


In the original Yandere Heaven series the listener became the object of affection of two rather dangerous characters. In this BL spin-off, all of the characters are voiced. And unlike the original series, things already start off pretty high on the yandere scale.

Himeno Yumeyoshi (CV: Akabane Kenji) was childhood friends with Hozumi Kei (CV: Majima Junji). Himeno noticed pretty fast that the one year younger Kei grew far to attached to him, so he enrolled in Seishin Gakuen, which has a dormitory. Himeno just wanted to help Kei to get more independent this way.

Kei however, simply followed Hime-kun (I like his nickname, I'll call him that from now on) to Seishin Gakuen, and as coincidence has it, becomes his room mate. Probably no coincidence there whatsoever, but that is never mentioned. From that moment on Kei once again sticks to Hime-kun all the time, demanding that Hime-kun always tells him where he goes.

Meanwhile, Hime-kun befriends the caretaker of the dorm, Nabari Masato (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke). Much to Kei his annoyance of course. And so the days where Kei becomes more and more aggressive in his advances and Nabari is simply being kind continue, until valentine arrives.

Nabari is waiting for Hime-kun after class, and takes him on a sort of date to give him chocolate. This causes Hime-kun to forget that he promised to go home with Kei, who is of course incredibly pissed. He retaliates by force feeding Hime-kun the chocolate mouth to mouth. And at that time Nabari enters the room, revealing that the chocolate was drugged. Fade out, and that is where the different endings start.

-note: this is also where the smut starts. But I'm not a BL expert so I won't be reviewing that-

There are 3 endings: one for Kei, one for Nabari, and a 3P. All of them are incredibly high on the yandere scale. Kei and Nabari their conviction that Hime-kun is trying to seduce them in some way, or at least wants to be violated by them is... highly disturbing at best.

What I noticed with this CD is that there is far more squick than in the original series. Which makes sense, considering that the the listener is the protagonist in the original series, so you can't make things to extreme. This time however, all of the stuff happens to someone else, and everything is definitely more explicit. (Although Yandere Heaven 5 did hint at some fairly disturbing things in the tokuten).

Kei his ending includes him making a deal with Nabari so that he can do to Hime-kun whatever he wants, in return Nabari is allowed to record everything with his hidden camera's. Nabari his ending has him treating Hime-kun in a very humiliating way, and in the 3P Hime-kun finally goes insane due to all of the twisted affection. Not to mention that it is a full out threesome.

I... I really don't know how to review BL. I'm sorry o(；△；)o
It was just... I wanted to listen to this because it has Hirarin being yandere. And he didn't disappoint. You have my word for that.

Conclusion:
Err, if you like BL and Yandere this is probably a must listen. If you like only the one or the other you might want to reconsider. Or not. One thing is certain though, don't expect any hint romance in this CD, only very twisted affection. Listening is at the risk of your own sanity~ It took me a pretty long time to calm down from this. Both because of the Karami, and the fact that the Yandere is rather intense.

男子はみんなBL!! 本当にあったBL目撃体験談

Danshi wa minna BL!! Hontou ni atta BL mokugeki taikendan

The title was just too good to pass up on this one. The fact that Okiayu Ryoutarou and Midorikawa Hikaru were in this helped too, I didn't really know Akabane Kenji before though. I was really curious about what kind of situations they would depict, and how. The idea behind this CD is that they have used actual observations from fujyoshi.jp and turned them into mini dramas. Okiayu Ryoutarou hosts a fictional the Radio Show "Climax Muteki Mousou Danshi" in which he reads fan-sent letters about real life observation of BL situations, Midorin and Akabane Kenji act out said stories.


Ummm, how can I say this? Maybe it was just that I expected more awkward or hilarious situations, but it wasn't quite what I expected it to be. Don't get me wrong, the CD is still funny enough, but just not what I expected it to be. Okiayu Ryoutarou his fake radio show is hilarious enough on its own. His over the top introductions and reactions are so overdone you just have to smile. I can't help but feel that a more genki character would have fitted the role better though.

There were two major points that were bugging me while listening to this CD. First, I can't help but wonder how much of this is real, and how much of this is made up. The stories are supposedly 'real' IE: actual observations made by visitors of the site fujyoshi.jp. But considering that some of the tracks are 10minutes long... Even if you assume the 'radio' part to be 2 minutes, that would mean someone 'overheard' 8 minutes of conversation? How exactly these situations were observed is sometimes a mystery to me as well. Most situations leave me wondering where exactly in this situation the observer was. The Department store one is probably a case on its own; I can understand it if she overheard them on the escalator, but following them into a bookstore is getting stalker-ish.

Secondly, some of these observations seem to be made during 中学校 - Junior High. Now that is just wrong. There, I said it. I can fully imagine children of that age getting into hilariously misinterpretable situations,  but hardly into the situations these stories portray. Neither do I WANT to imagine them that way. Then again, maybe it is just the outset of this CD that actively twists everything you hear (you can't NOT hear anything BL, no matter how innocent).

All of this aside, the CD portrays some really cute stories. Well more like short (8 to 10min) situations. In order they are; at the Basketball club, Gym class, shopping at the department store, on the train, at the sports festival, and on graduation day. All of them are mainly cute, mixed with some hetare xD

Conclusion:
The radio part was funny, and the actual situations cute, but this CD was simply not what I expected it to be. Or maybe I am just being fickle, I don't know. I'm curious about what other people thought, so share the thoughts people! :3
