BLCD Review: Suki de Gomen
Title: Suki de Gomen. (好きでごめん。)
Author/Artist: Satoru Okamoto
Yashiro Taku x Itou Kento
Synopsis: For 6 years, Kouta has been harboring a secret crush on his childhood best friend and well-known playboy Haruto. All this time, he’s accepted that his crush will stay just that, unrequited. However, one day, it seems like Haruto has noticed…? Little by little, their relationship is changing!
And we’re back to listening/reviewing BLCDs. Yo, these past few months have really been a crazy ride with me losing my job and now I’ve sprained both of my wrists, too! 😂 Every review following this up until Koubutsu has already been done for a while now, so I’m not really using my hands that much atm (but those reviews might’ve added more to the problem I have now if I think about it). I took a little fall back in June and since there wasn’t really that much of a swelling to them, I kept on working them until I could no more. I initially just chucked the pain up to me having improper form while lifting weights, but turns out that it’s just another thing that aggravated the problem. Boy, was our gp livid. 😂 Fortunately, I’m feeling much better now and I don’t need to wear bandages anymore, but I would really have to give myself a proper break so I could avoid it worsening and having to need surgery. See y’all in real time after I become the Master of the Mystic Arts. 👋
My face while listening/reading this:
Can’t believe I did that for Itou Kento.
I honestly don’t have any idea why this work became so popular in the first place. There’s really nothing special about it (it’s just a poor man’s Nozomu Bekumonai), and the only good character here is literally Tsukasa. What the fuck? And I’m also sorry to say this, but why do the characters look like a bootleg Kise x Akamatsu with Illumi as Akamatsu’s bro??? I take that back, yo boy Kouta straight up be looking like an Akashi Seijuuro motherfucker with those sideburns.
WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT ART STYLES FOR THESE CHARACTERS I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
Anyway, I really think that Haruto teasing and making Kouta cry that first bit was too shady and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Like, what the fuck??? Why would you do that??? What is this? 2009?! That’s a big red flag right there! Haruto’s feelings also feel so shallow that I think it would have been better for Kouta’s sake that didn’t go into a relationship that quickly. Y’all he was dating girls for so long and when did he even notice Kouta’s feelings for him and why did he suddenly think that being a relationship with Kouta would be nice? REAL QUICK??? Although he has confessed that he does love Kouta by the end of volume one, there really hasn’t been an in depth look at them. As for Kouta, he’s wayyyy too obvious. Everyone in that manga probably knows that he has a crush on Haruto. *sigh* Why can’t they just make a story about Tsukasa? I’ll be on board with that!
Moving on to the voice work,
Yo, it’s been half a year ever since I’ve heard Yashiro Taku in a BLCD last and that was an uke role in Sugar Dekoboko Days. The last time I’ve heard him top was in 2018! 😂 His voice was a little higher here than his natural tone, but it suited him well. It was very smooth and clear. This is considerably better than his performance in MODS. Kinda reminds me of how Saitou Souma did Hiro in Akai Ito, which is weird because his natural voice is deeper. I would love to hear him in this tone more, but so far, this is the only one of his works as a top that is in my list. See you when I get my hands on Tadaima Okairi, boy.
As for Itou Kento, I’m not sure what I was expecting when I decided to listen to this because I like Itou Kento as a seme more than this. He did pretty well, though, but I think I still like him as a seme (stay tuned for the next BLCD on this list where he’s also doing an uke role).
I can’t believe they got Furukawa Makoto to voice a side character here. 😂 This is my first taste of Makonyan for 2020, and I’m glad that he’s doing quite well already. See you in Kimitte Yatsu. 👋
What a waste of cast. 😂 It’s not risque, but it’s generic af and it gives off bad vibes. Y’all I tried listening to Double Standard before this and I just COULDN’T.😩 There’s so many other works that deserve an adaptation! Come on, Cue Egg Label! How’d we get from Lala no Kekkon and Caste Heaven to this? Shame. My personal feelings aside, if you’re a fan of this series, I would recommend listening to this because there aren’t that many changes in dialogue and it’s nicely voiced. There are some adlibs which are understandable, but they’re not too important to be considered a challenge.
