Pretty daddy!
I knew that one of my favourite seiyuus, Sakurai Takahiro 櫻井 孝宏, would, at some point, take on voicing a flat-out yaoi character. After all, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion 『コードギアス反逆のルルーシュ』 was fairly suggestive being a Clamp-characterised anime. This is the first time I’ve encountered his voice in such a production, but if I’m mistaken, do let me know. I tend to be a little outdated.
The yaoi anime in question is Kirepapa 『キレパパ』 (lit. meaning: beautiful dad). I’m a little late in picking this up simply because I don’t watch exclusively yaoi anime and I’m far too busy with work to keep up with things on a regular basis.
Kirepapa is based on the manga kirei na PAPA 『きれいなパパ』 and as its title suggests is the story of a pretty father, Chisato Takatsukasa (voiced by Midorikawa Hikaru 緑川 光 who also voiced Shi Seiran in Saiunkoku Monogatari 『彩雲国物語』), who has an equally pretty son. Unfortunately for Chisato, due to some event in the past, he has a complex and refuses to allow anyone to get too close to his son. Even worse for him, his son has a relentless friend, Sakaki Shunsuke (voiced by Sakurai), who remains too close for comfort regardless of his many sabotage attempts. Things change, however, when Chisato is confessed to. How will it end?
Chisato’s antagonism is fairly obvious despite Sasaki’s beauty.
Hell, I don’t know but I do know they tried to squeeze as much plot as possible into one episode. Some say it’s messy but I thought it was reasonable considering how yaoi anime tend to be fairly short. I’m not sure how many OVAs there will be at this point but suffice to say I’m looking forward to more slapstick comedy. A fun watch, but beware please as content is very very R.
