Comments:
This BLCD can be likened to a delectable dessert for our ears (Just look at the seiyuu cast! xD ). The 2-Disc drama is based on an 18+ PC BL Game of the same name. It is as suggested in the title, set in a coffee and pastries cafe. All the cafe staff are men and of course, everybody is gay! (Or becomes gay!) lol~

There isn’t much plot involved, just a slice of life narrative of day-to-day activities and love/sexual relationships of the main characters. However, the drama flows rather smoothly despite having multiple viewpoints of each character.

It is actually quite enjoyable to listen to the thoughts and interactions of the characters and spot all the scenarios that are common in most BL Games. You can expect a good variety of yummy H-scenes and pairings, from rabu-rabu romantic ones, non-con, unrequited love, angsty struggle about being gay, uke-in-denial, eager ukes, noisy ukes, dirty-talking seme, younger seme, sexy oyaji-pairing… to satiate all your tastes. Probably the only thing missing was S&M hahahaahaha… XD And the realistic and subtle sound effects are great!

It doesn’t really matter whether you have played the game or not but I think you might like it even more if you had. Anyway, the game is really hot too. Also highly recommended!

Another thing I like about this BLCD is the relaxing soundtrack. You really feel like you’re sitting in a cafe, sipping coffee and eating delicious cakes xD (Which reminds me of the atmosphere of Antique Bakery anime. I bought the anime soundtrack and will do a review of it soon.)

High Point: Out of the many nose-bleeding scenes and sweet scenarios, my absolute fav is listening to a super adorable Sakypyon voicing an eager and pro-active uke… *slurps* Come here sexy, I want you too!
