It’s been a good long while since I had a couple of hours to just sit and listen to a Drama CD. Honestly, it felt really good to stick a giant headset on and unconnect from reality. ^_^ One of the several CDs I had backed up on the to-listen pile was by Fujieda Miyabi, Kyuusei End Contents Positive:Encount (九彩エンドコンテンツ). This independently produced Drama CD is the prequel of his Kyuusei End Contents manga, which has appeared in Comic Cune magazine.
The CD begins with a track of Nagomi with her lover Tsurugi, demanding a little attention. The story then backtracks to how they met. Tsurugi is a clothing designer suffering from creator’s block and Nagomi is a young woman she meets on the street. Nagomi has nowhere to go, so Tsurugi takes her in. Nagomi is blown away by Tsurugi’s work and, it turns out, is a huge fan. Nagomi’s cheerful enthusiasm and her cute look inspires Tsurugi, who has found her muse at last. The block is broken and Tsurugi gets to work.
Nagomi and Tsurugi have an extended conversation about what to call one another now that they are a couple. They settle on Tsurugi-chan and Nago-chan. By itself, this is not breathtaking, but come back tomorrow and we’ll do it again for a completely different CD!
This CD is short and, compared to Fujieda-sensei’s Kotonoha no Miko to Kotodama no Majyo to series, thin on content. But as the Kyuusei End Contents manga was itself a series of super-short shorts, it fits in well with the style and isn’t much lighter and fluffier than Ame-iro-Kouchkan Kandan. More than anything, it was just nice to see something new from Fujieda-sensei!
Ratings:
Art – 8 Always cute and sweet
Story – 7 Fairly simple girl-meet-girl, girl-moves-in-with-girl
Characters – 7 We don’t spend long enough with them to get to know them well. I’d like to know more about Tsurugi
Service – 6 We start off with some suggestive conversation
Yuri – 7 Same as above
Overall – 7
I have no idea where I picked this up, though. Maybe at Comitia? Or was it at Comic Zin? I honestly don’t know, but it was one of his Winter Comiket 2018 original works.
