"Your blood and flesh, all of it is mine." An ikigami and a healer, together their souls support each other, blooming into love...
In the distant future, ordinary teacher Yoshino learns that he is a "donor" for the strongest species, the "ikigami." These warriors are tasked with protecting the country. "The unique ability of a donor is to use their bodily fluids to heal ikigami." Yoshino learns this fact and is shocked. Thus, Yoshino is forced to live with Kidou... At first, he is like a beast, demanding Yoshino's bodily fluids, but slowly, the underlying loneliness begins to show...
"Someday, if I met a donor, could they come to love me? That thought is the only reason I survived..."
Review Proper
I can’t believe Yamanaka Hiko’s been terrorizing me for over twelve years now. OH MY GOD I’M SO OLD. And true to the Yamanaka Hiko brand, this turned out to be another fantasy masterpiece (read His 500 Years of Suffering Romance). This was definitely the type of thing that would do great even without the BL aspect of it. Now, I did have an issue with Kidou being an asshole (he's almost killed Yoshino more than once), so I’m not excusing it. But I do get how and why he turned out to be like that and I'm aware that it's important for his character development. The world-building was great, don't get me wrong, but it's definitely dubcon 2015. I would strongly advise you not to get into it if that's a deal breaker for you.
Anyway, onto the voice work.
Souma used a tone so close to Gucci's that I kept imagining Gucci being Yoshino. Yes, I didn't read the manga while listening to the BLCD. It was like after graduating Karasuno, Gucci went on to become a teacher, then a donor lmao. His Yoshino panics more like Honda-san, however, so my final verdict is that his Yoshino is half-Gucci, half-Honda-san.
This isn't Nakajiki and Souma's first rodeo, but I'm glad to say that their performance/dynamic here is different from Mikeneko and XL Size. I expected Kidou to be a mix of Amano and Anaconbayashi-kun 'cause the former was cocky and the latter was stoic, but Kidou was only 50% of that mix and 50% brooding, suffering, I'll-protect-you top. Am I even making any sense? Again, I listened to the BLCD first, but the sound direction they gave Nakajiki was very different from what I thought he'd sound like after I read the manga. It’s almost like what happened with OnoD’s expressive Hasebe-kun in the Kotonoha BLCD vs the more stoic Hasebe-kun in the manga.
The voice work of our two leads was 👌. This might just be my fave out of their pairings 'cause the sex isn't over-the-top like XL Size and Mikeneko. I will say that I wasn't completely sold on Yamashita Seiichirou as Shibata-san 'cause I feel like he speaks too slowly, but I'm sure it'll grow on me by the time I listen to their spin-off. KawaKen was fine. My heart broke for him every time Shibata-san rejected him, so it's safe to say he's got Taki-kun down already.
Oh. I did have a slight issue with the sfx too. Why was it so watery??? Lmao. Even r18 otome cds aren't that wet. But it's not so glaring that it'll turn you off.
The BLCD was almost perfectly accurate to the manga. I highly recommend this to those learning mid to higher levels of Japanese. Futekiya has licensed volumes 1 & 2, so please try to support the official release if you can. I'd be lying if I said that I agree with how they translated it so... literally?, but I think it's also important to see how things are translated that way if you're aiming to dip your toes into translation aside from studying the language. For example, they used "Living God" throughout the manga instead of "Ikigami." It's correctly translated, but I personally prefer retaining the original title. You know, like how Viz uses "Kaiju no. 8" instead of "Monster no. 8?"
God knows if I'll ever survive the spinoff that I wanted to work on. I avoided talking about it for a reason lmao. Anyway, if y'all liked this, then please give 500 Years (Ono Yuuki x Suzuki Tatsuhisa) and Shortcake no Ichigo Sawaranaide (Nojima Hirofumi x Takeuchi Ken). These two are android bls and Ikigami to Donor is more guide bl, but they both share a futuristic vibe.

Manga Rec Wednesday
Title: Ikigami - The Ultimate Limit (Death Paper)
Author/Artist: Mase Motoro
Status: Complete (10 Volumes, 60 Chapters)
Synopsis: When apathy and laziness began to plague Japan, the government invented a new societal measure to invigorate and strengthen the population: the ikigami, a 24 hour notice of one's death. The death of those who received an ikigami is assured, and as such, they serve as an example to others of the importance of making the most of one's life.

The kuro thing isn't even the worst thing I had to suffer through next to my parents. When I was younger I was reading a manga called "Ikigami", the plot is not relevant but it was some kind of dystopian thing. Not romantic or sexual, whatever. One day I want to show this to my dad, I give him a volume which he randomly opens up.... To a full on, double page presenting a character receiving a blowjob :)
I was wishing death :)

uhhhh...did we all miss the part where she said she didn’t want to leave? That she likes this island and wants to stay here? I mean, I get it, sometimes people want things that are bad for them, and sometimes if you love someone...they don’t get to have every single say in the world about something. Sometimes, you have to love people by opposing them. I get that.
But we could at least try just telling the truth about what’s going on here with her, and with the Ikigami. I mean, I know I just said in a former post that people don’t like to give up the things they believe even when presented with evidence, and that’s true, but I don’t think that’s a legitimate reason not even to TRY.
PLease please do not spoil anything for me in your excitement. I don’t want to know anything! I don’t even want to know if something is a cultural difference, or if you can’t wait for me to get to a part. If I wonder about something, please don’t say stuff like “Just wait til…” You know what is great for all that? The discord! Which apparently has its own mushishi channel now, which must mean y’all are excited for it!

Hello teesta it’s nice to see your url back on tumblr! I hope u are doing well and also, do you have any book or tv show recommendation? ❤️
hi bb, so good to be back!! i'm doing okay, hope you are too 🥰
i've been trying to read a lot this year, about two books a month (it's a lot for me!). some of my favourite reads this year have been piranesi by susanna clark, the ikigami series by mase motoro, and (currently reading) house of leaves by mark z. danielewski, which is a trip and a half.
i don't watch a lot of shows/movies so definitely not the best person to ask!
