Maou Series

Nov 22, 2008 16:56

I always have interest in stories about angels and devils, such as Disgaea, Innocent Bird by Katsuragi Hirotaka and Wish by CLAMP . Or anything that mentioned names of angels and devils like Star Ocean Till The End of Time game.

This drama CD is also about angels and devils, concentrating more on the demon's side as the story revolves around Hell. And it's a freaking crack that I can't stop laughing most of the time XD







Cast List:
Kyara: Fukuyama Jun
Shana: Okiayu Ryoutarou
Shiira (Astaroth): Suwabe Junichi
Yuuri (Beelzebub): Seki Toshihiko
Giga: Takahashi Hiroki
Mika: Miki Shinichiro

--------

Cast list of vol4:
Kyara: Yonaga Tsubasa
Shana: Koyasu Takehito
Shiira: Yusa Kouji
Yuuri: Midorikawa Hikaru
Giga: Hatano Wataru
Mika: Hirakawa Daisuke



The first story, Zutto Anata Dake, is about Kyara who ran away from his home because he was told to be Maou (Demon King)'s spouse. He got lost into one of the (most dangerous) forest and meet Shana. Shana took him in and let Kyara live in his manor. Kyara lives there for three months, befriend with Giga, Shana's butler, and slowly the boy fell in love in Shana... until Shiira, Kyara's brother, came to pick him up and reminded him about Maou's request order to his family on having Kyara as Maou's spouse.

In the second story, Usotsuki no Seiyaku, Kyara was quite bothered since he's having weird dreams for days. So he decided to slip out of the manor with Giga to meet a fortune teller. But he was caught by Shiira who's going to take him home, when they saw a lump by the side of the road. Kyara, who's full of curiosity, approached the said lump which appeared to be an angel. What's an angel doing in Hell?

There's a bonus track covering about Giga's work.

The third installment, Wagamama na Fukuin, Kyara is spending a fun life as usual, hanging around with Giga, having tea time with Shiira and Yuuri, and most of all having a loving relationship with Shana. That was, however, until an unexpected appearance of Mika (Michael), who descended to Hell to take Kyara to Heaven.

There's another extra track here, where the characters performs Cinderella with Giga as Cinderella. It's freaking hilarious LOLOLOL XDDD

I haven't listen to the fourth volume, Honki no Renzai but listening to the previous ones I'm expecting more crack XD



There's a change of casts in the fourth volume, Honki no Renzai. The story is covering about Kyara and company who went to another castle for festival. Michael is still coming after Kyara (and screaming at Kyara to stop calling him Pochi LOLOLOL) as usual, and he's following the group to the said festival place. Kyara blend in with the others like usual, and making Giga troubled (as usual too ^^; ). Things become messy when Michael killed a group of demons and it spread bad gossips since Michael has the same face with Shana, and then appeared in the festival to capture Kyara. Not forgetting a stupid lower noble who's hitting on Kyara (and later facing doom for that)

One thing that I have to admit, the story is so like a sappy shoujo manga where misunderstanding and jealousies ensues ^^;;
But it's a very enjoyable drama cd since the amount of crack is almost 80%. XD

Kyara, who is innocent yet his actions most of all not good (ex: he cooked for his beloved Shana, but the food looks so bad and poisonous), is potrayed very well by Fukuyama Jun. The way he spazz, especially XDDDDD
Usually he's befriend with everyone (even the stupid angel he picked up on vol2), with exception of Michael. I found him cute all through the series ♥

Okiayu Ryoutaro is using his Tezuka voice as Shana LOL Shana is kind to Kyara only, but he gets jealous easily. Not much to talk about this character other than the fact that he loved Kyara so much to the point that he's blind of other things when it's concerning the boy.

I really love Suwabe Junichi's Shiira!! ♥ Shiira is the Lord Astaroth and Kyara's brother. He's one brother complex and is scared hates Yuuri to death. Shiira is mostly cool and composed, except when Yuuri is around as Shiira will certainly do more screams and spazz.

Seki Toshihiko's Yuuri is very good too. The Lord Beelzebub who's high over heels on Shiira. He never stops chasing Shiira, and Kyara mistaken this as a Lovely Moments of Yuuri and Shiira. Yuuri got jealous on everything that shows interest in Shiira or everything that Shiira shows interest in. He can't lay a hand on Kyara though XD; Yuuri seems to be the one who taught Kyara about human's slangs, as he's the one who also gave Kyara human things like maid uniform from Akihabara ^^;

Giga... hm, I don't have much to say about him either, but I found him cute yet the most pitiful character in this series ^^; Giga's role in the series is mostly to accompany and keep an eye on Kyara, as the boy would always wander around.

Michael is one of the Archangels and the twin of the Maou, Lucifer. He didn't expect that the one he should take to Heaven is Kyara, and he's getting into arguments with Kyara most of the time as Kyara hate him and Michael didn't like how Kyara made a nickname on him, which is Pochi. lol

Another character that needs a coverage is the angel on volume 2. He is loud and extremely stupid. And no, it's not an overstatement xD
I found him quite annoying on how loud he is and the way he's always wanting to cry most of the CD. But how he offered more crack to this series is really enjoyable lol

A little comparing between the previous volumes to the fourth one... I much prefer the previous ones ^^; Though the fourth volume has more sound effects, like the *pika* and *kira~* xD;;;

FukuJun's Kyara sounds more natural as a cute yet innocent character, while Yonaga Tsubasa's Kyara sounded more like a really spoiled young master.
Okiayu's Shana sounded much more serious. Koyasu's Shana somehow... a bit more of a tease? ^^; Not that bad though, as it's a little more crack XD;
Suwabe's Shiira did better in spazzing and complaining about Yuuri. Other than that, Yusa Kouji's Shiira did well <3
For once, I prefer Seki Toshihiko over Midorin *is shot* Seki Toshihiko's Yuuri sounds much more persistent with 'love' can be felt in every words, and when he's jealous he sounded more spooky. In the other hand, Midorin's Yuuri has the strict and absolute possessiveness in his voice. It's much more obvious when Midorin's Yuuri is jealous.
The only one that I like better in the fourth volume is Hatano Wataru's Giga. Hatano's Giga is much more expressive and sounded better as a strong person and as Kyara's friend. Takahashi Hiroki's Giga sounds more calm usually, but when he's spazz protesting is much more fun to listen.
The one that sounded much different is Michael. MikiShin's Michael has the leader tone in his voice and more calming. While Hirakawa Daisuke's Michael is more scary and threatening. ^^;

And was it just me, or this one sounded more serious than the previous ones, though the jokes are still in the same amount? ^^;

I would like to post this on hiruyasumi too though, but I can't find any site which has the CDs for sale >____>;
