BLCD Review: Mask Danshi
Tumblr media
Title: Mask Danshi ha Koishitaku Nainoini (マスク男子は恋したくないのに)
Author/Artist: Sangou Mitsuru
Release Date: 2021/10/22
Cast: 
Eguchi Takuya x Kobayashi Yuusuke
Kobayashi Daisuke
Tanikawa Makoto
Koike Takahiro
Okano Yuu
Aoyama Yoshino
Nitta Saki
Yano Yumika
Synopsis:
"The mouth is the second sexiest body part."
The famous cheerful guy, Saikawa had tried to rip off the gloomy kid, Sayama's mask. After that day, he had captured Saikawa's attention and Saikawa had volunteered to teach him for the upcoming examination, but with one condition, Saikawa can do whatever he wants with what is hiding under Sayama's mask.
He hates it when people touch his bare face, lips and inside his mouth, but he cannot say anything when Saikawa touch them. The combination between Saikawa's harassment and the awkward mask boy's behaviour, this manga will pack with sexual tension between these two.
Review Proper
I was initially very sus about the whole thing. Very obvious that I didn’t read it, huh? Seemed like an appeal to fetish based on description, title, and cover alone, so it gave me that b-tier PWP tingle (this later turned out to be Haga-kun lmao). Idk about you guys, but masks, for me, are diskasting. So when they was doing things with Saikawa’s mask on, I was just very concerned.
Tumblr media
But again, thankfully, Mask Danshi turned out to be pretty wholesome towards the end. Although, I really have to say that his mask reveal was pretty anti-climactic lmao. I mean, if his main concern was his foul mouth, then even a mask wouldn’t be able to help him. If anything, I would’ve believed it more if he went Etou-san’s route in Customer Masquerade! and turned a 360 to mask his communication disorder. And I thought he was like Kare ga Masuku’s Jirou who was hiding bc idk everyone else just seems to be crayzay over his sexay underage mole. 🤷 Also, Saikawa looks like an NPC so it just didn’t make sense to me. I do love how Sayama’s so whipped for Saikawa, though. What the hell? He’s so sweet ksksksks.
Moving on to the voice acting, ngl I really felt that Egu’s performance here was very similar to Maeno’s in Perfect Propose. Although Kai was a bit colder, he and Sayama had similar personalities, especially in their tendency to mess with their bottoms. Don’t get me wrong, though. Egu was perfect for Sayama. More like, everyone was perfect for their roles. Kobayuu even added some squeakin in there. 👀 The only gripe I have about the voice work was the actor for Saikawa’s child self. Why was she trying so hard to be Edogawa Conan? 😂
Despite this being a stellar adaptation execution-wise, however, I will have to warn beginners that this’ll be hard to follow with the manga. There was a lot of cuts and additions in the BLCD, plus they rearranged some scenes. I also had an issue with the panelling of the manga itself. It makes it hard to sync the scenes with the BLCD tbh. Maybe try reading the manga once first then reading the manga with the BLCD after. Still, I’d recommend this to fans of this series AND we’re getting an adaptation for the sequel too, so we have a lot to look forward to.

This is the 100th question. Your reflection on this experience? A lot of effort having to read all that right? GJ on your hard work. There were 2 questions I can't really answer.
Interviewer: Let's go over some of your more interesting answers. Interviewer: Unforgettable scenery: a waterfall in Nagano. KY: So yeah, a long time ago I drove to Nagano, and on the way to the inn there was a sign saying 'this way to a big waterfall'. I've always liked waterfalls, so when I saw it I thought to take a detour to see it. I followed the path and reached a mountain, at which there was another sign saying 'you have to walk a distance from here'. Back then I thought that it would've been easier to get there as I continued walking. Suddenly, though it was in the middle of the mountains, it opened into a Laputa-like (Castle in the Sky) vast grassy field. I was touched by the views, and as I was wondering where the waterfall was I saw it in the far off distance. The scenery was fantastic and I thought of visiting it again, but later on while searching for it (online) I found that a landslide had occurred. The path got buried and was unrestorable, so it's become an off-limits place. Interviewer: So it's also a mystical place.
Interviewer: Next qualification to get: wine expert. How is it different from a wine sommelier? KY: Actually I was considering getting a wine sommelier certification, but the reason I've been unable to is… For wine expert and wine sommelier certification, the examination and tasting session happen together, but for wine sommelier there's an extra requirement of 3 years of practical experience. Even if I buy wine from shops or drink at restaurants, 3 years of practical experience is kinda… it would be difficult for me to take up another part time job while working as a seiyuu. But well, the examination for wine expert and wine sommelier are basically the same, and I thought it'd be nice to have that certification.
Interviewer: Recommended vacation spot: stopping by Umihotaru (a parking area on an artificial island with a lot of facilities and amenities, and a 360º view of surrounding waters) KY: LOL. I don't really go on trips regularly, so I can't think of any regular vacation spots, but at night when I have to drive somewhere I'd often pass by Umihotaru. I've gone there a lot since I'd been able to drive, so it's a place I'd recommend going to at least once, especially at night. Interviewer: The night view? KY: At night it would be pretty much fully dark so there's nothing to see, and in that stark darkness I'd feel like, 'I gotta keep on living…' Interviewer: LOL. Survival instinct. KY: But as the surrounding sea's fully dark, I guess it might just be scary for a scaredy cat. Anyway if you're travelling to Chiba, you can stop by it on the way. It's a rest spot. You can eat seafood and sushi there, and there are plenty of fun things to do, so do drop by.
Interviewer: Others' impression of you: Undignified KY: I don't remember when exactly, probably about 2 years into my debut, I was called into a place where a nomikai for an unrelated series was happening. The studio had 2 booths, one was for the anime team and one was for an unrelated game team. Just as I was leaving there was some hubbub on scheduling issues. An actor I knew was there and asked me, "We're just about to go drinking. Come join us?" "I'm an outsider though, is it ok?" "I'm coming then" so I went, and during the gathering I chatted with the head of the project. As he was asking, "How old are you now, Kobayashi?" I believe I was 30 then, so I said "I'm 30 years old" and he responded, "30!? You don't carry yourself with dignity, do you?" Even now I'm still in shock at what they said. I wonder if I supposed to be dignified in my 30s? (30代って貫禄出るものなのかな) But anyway at that time I was in a place where I barely knew anyone so I was putting in effort to liven up the conversation, maybe I was too hyper and that's why they said that. From then I kind of toned it down a bit. Still, it was probably a good stimulus.
Interviewer: Last one: Been told you're like a flying squirrel KY: For this one, even I don't really get why. Interviewer: Flying squirrel-like, eh? KY: Well, this happened during my appearance at an event. The makeup artist was there. Sometime during the event we had to come up with 2 names, so I had to think of something. Anyway, while I was thinking of 2 names for myself... When I asked the makeup artist who had been working with us a few times, "What kind of image or impression do you have of me?" They said, "Actually since a long time ago, I thought you're like a flying squirrel..." Interviewer: lol what part of you resemble a flying squirrel KY: "Your face resembles one..." so I immediately went to search for a picture of a flying squirrel and I don't look like one. It was just that person's impression, and in my whole life that was the first time I've been told that I resemble one, so now that I was asked this I thought I should respond with, "It seems like I resemble a flying squirrel." I guess this is the only time I'll ever mention this. Mm-hm. Interviewer: That was quite an impression.
Interviewer: So to wrap things up. KY: Again, I'm not a particularly interesting person. So that will be all for this video. [channel subscriber spiel] Byebye~

Ryohei: Uh, yeah? Like anybody would. Senichi & Manji: Ngghhh~~~! Senichi: Not even we know how to do that!! Manji: He’s talking with Shuu! Ryohei: …Huh, you guys don’t? Manji: He’s flexing again! Ryohei: Do you guys have accounts? Manji: Of course we do! Ryohei: Then, how about I make us a group chat? Senichi & Manji: Huh? Ryohei: Ah, but I should probably add you guys first. Tell me your IDs? Senichi & Manji: ...... Ryohei: Let me ask if he’s fine with the GC first. Senichi: S-sure… Manji: Is that Shuu? What’d he say? Ryohei: He said he was fine with it! Senichi: (gasp) Shuu’s using stickers! Manji: Seriously?! (gasp) He is! But what’s with these lame stickers…! Ryohei: Ahaha, they suit him, don’t they? Senichi & Manji: Eh… Ryohei: I’ll send out the invites~ Manji: Shuu’s profile picture… Is still the default gray icon… Ryohei: Hm… What should we call it? Senichi: Let’s ask Shuu what he thinks. Since it’s his GC and all. Ryohei: Alrighty~ Senichi: Something like ‘Fujiwara Group’ or something. Manji: Maybe ‘Hawkeye’ or ‘Archer’s Salon’ or something. Ryohei: He answered! Senichi & Manji: Here it is!! Senichi: What is it? Manji: I wonder what he said? Ryohei: “Takoyaki Club” he says. Senichi & Manji: That’s so lame!

What I Watched This Week – 1/7 – 1/13
Tumblr media
The Quintessential Quintuplets S1 – Last year, I went a bit outside my usual groove to try some ecchi anime, with moderate success, so I figured I’d do harem anime this year. I often see this series about a broke boy hired to tutor five sisters from a wealthy family talked about as the pinnacle of the genre, making it a good place to start. There was a fair amount I enjoyed. The character designs were colorful and distinctive, most of the characters had likeable personalities, and the conflict was kind of fun. However, a lot of the fanservice felt really contrived, the MC was borderline verbally abusive sometimes, and the way the girls’ large breasts were drawn and animated just made me roll my eyes. I didn’t hate it, and I’m a little curious to see how it plays out, so I’ll probably watch the rest of the series, since it’s only 12 more episodes and a movie. If this is the best of the genre, though, it’s probably not for me. 6/10
Tumblr media
Mask Danshi: This Shouldn’t Lead to Love – I really enjoy this BL manga about a boy who hides behind a surgical mask at school catching the eye of a slightly sadistic popular boy, so I finally got around to watching the 24-minute OVA they released for it in the fall. It adapts the first volume of the manga, compressing it quite a bit, as well as rearranging events a little. I can’t say how well it would work for an anime only viewer, and it’s too full of dubious consent for to recommend to anyone unfamiliar with the genre, but I enjoyed seeing what amounted to a highlights reel for one of my favorite opening volumes for a BL series. I was surprised to hear Yuusuke Kobayashi and Takuya Eguchi coming out of the characters’ mouths, and they did an excellent job. 7/10
Tumblr media
Suzume – Makoto Shinkai movies are extremely hit or miss for me, but this adventure story centered on a teenage girl travelling the length of Japan to close interdimensional doors to prevent natural disasters was a hit for me. It was an incredibly bold move to introduce a handsome university student only to turn him into a chair shortly after, but it worked somehow, and it just felt right watching Suzume carry this chair with her on her quest. I thought the doors were an interesting framing device to explore the twin anxieties of the dwindling population outside Tokyo and the aftermath of disasters changing the landscape and leaving whole neighborhoods abandoned. The various characters Suzume meets along the way were all a delight, especially the convertible-driving university student her middle-aged aunt seemed to be vibing with. Like every other Shinkai movie, the backgrounds are gorgeous, the art is colored perfectly, and the characters are animated well, with lifelike movements. 8/10
Tumblr media
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac Ep. 1-20 – I’ve been trying to watch more classic shounen, but it’s been a bit of a rocky road so far. I’m a little surprised to see how many glowing reviews this has, as it was a definite struggle for me to get through twenty episodes. I can certainly see how this inspired an earlier generation of fujoshi shippers, as the cast of male characters run the gamut from macho, to flamboyant, to little brother and so on, have distinctive, campy costumes, and carry on at length about friendship and sacrificing themselves for each other. However, the story and plot takes a back seat to the action, and it was incredibly boring to sit through fight after fight after fight that were neither choreographed nor animated well. Pretty sure this is going to sit on my “On Hold” list with a bunch of other 100+ episode shounens indefinitely. I do have to note, though, that the opening song is awesome.
