『監禁婚～凌辱の日々～』(Kankinkon Ryoujoku no Hibi)

First CD where Saijou Touji is introduced. He’s basically the heir to a mega enterprise and is super capable, talented, prodigious, and known to be super cold (like ice) and not show interest in anything. But he falls in love with the heroine at first sight when she walks through a park with cherry blossoms and then he devises a plan (after stalking her for like 1 year or so? my memory is vague on the details) to kidnap her.

He basically drives up to her, asks her for directions, yanks her into the car, drugs her, and then rapes her. And then takes her to a hotel where he keeps her imprisoned until she’s pregnant because he’s under the thought that once she’s pregnant then she can’t leave him.

He’s also doing this so she’ll have to be his wife and he can get his grandpa off his back whose been wanting him to get married.

The two short stories is 1) him being gross with the heroine LOL when he’s feeding her in the hotel and her being resistant to him and 2) when heroine gives birth to their son, Hikaru, who muses on how his father outwardly appears to be capable, cold-blooded, and terrifying to others (nicknamed the emperor) but he prostrates himself to his wife for even a droplet of love. And Hikaru is honestly terrified at how her mom can smile at him so warmly and passionately when she’s so cold to his father and can make his father bow down LOL.

(Honestly, I love this heroine. SHE IS SO EMOTIONALLY STRONG. Honestly, I love Touji too because he’s so tragic and messed up in a hilariously gross but devastating way.)

『監禁婚～絶望の日々～』(Kankinkon Zetsubou no Hibi)

Alright, second CD for Touji is him basically introducing himself to the heroine’s parents and getting married. So, what happened was that he got a body double of the heroine to bump into him on a security camera and create the story that she got into an accident and suddenly lost her memories!!

Which is why she was AWOL for the past like month with Touji being rehabilitated and they just so happen to fall in love, so won’t her father give his blessings for them to marry?

Also, Touji being the heir to the empire that is the Saijou company tells the heroine to the side that if she reveals anything to her dad he’ll crush her family LOL.

Anyway, the dad is super pleased at how loving and nice Touji is and helpful (since he thinks his daughter got amnesia and was saved by Touji) and gives his blessing. Touji is like “awesome, I’ll just clear your debt away then and pay all the hospital bills for your wife (heroine’s mother) too” because he’s their son-in-law now. Ofc the dad tries to refuse but Touji is just super charming.

And then so the heroine basically has no choice but to get married to him. Meanwhile, Touji also reveals more about his past and how his grandpa actually hated him because Touji’s mother died giving birth to him and so his grandpa lost his beloved daughter.

Touji’s name is actually written uniquely because it uses the kanji for “Ice” and “Time” aka “Frozen Time” :’)) and was given to him by his grandpa because his grandpa’s time froze when his daughter died. Touji’s upbringing was super harsh and everything he loved or showed interest in was made to disappear by his grandpa (his friends didn’t die but they just… mysteriously went bankrupt, etc etc). His cat? Thrown away. His dog? Eaten by other dogs or something LOL.

Meanwhile, Touji’s time froze for him too because the world was meaningless and he just went through it coldly and without emotion. But when he saw how pure and lovely the heroine was it was like his world was set in motion and she gave him enough courage to defy his grandpa (the same time he started stalking her and planning his abduction of her).

And basically he never thought she’d be interested in him because he’s like 10 years older than her, which is why he immediately went to extreme and nefarious means. So he knows he’ll never get her love which TEARS him up inside because he just wants her love :’)) he knows he’s reaping what he sows though and he’ll be content if she just stays by his side.

The short story is just so MM I wish I could convey - through summary - just how good the writer is because there’s so much symbolism and poetry in her writing. 1) first story is about the heroine’s nickname for him which is like “hopeless man” and basically shows how complicated and messed their relationship is.

Basically, the heroine has forced Touji to always use protection when doing the do with her because she will only have Hikaru in her life (unless Hikaru dies). The reason she doesn’t want another child is because she doesn’t want to treat her children like she has a spare (and have Touji be tempted to leave Hikaru to die because Hikaru has a weak heart; he needs surgeries). Touji claims he loves Hikaru too but she’s like “yeah right; i don’t trust your twisted love”.

Anyway, she actually threatens to kill herself if Touji doesn’t listen to her demands and he FLIPS out and obeys immediately because he’s terrified. And his promise just shows how messed up his mindset is LOL he’s like “if I forget protection next time you can make me swallow a thousand needles” and she’s like “dude that’ll pierce your mouth” and he’s like “IT’S OKAY I can swallow a thousand or ten thousand for you. please have an ambulance team standby”.

Heroine is like “wow you still intend to live after swallowing needles? that’s so like you” but puts down the knife and he’s like sobbing in relief and says he loves her. She says she doesn’t love him. And he says he knows. And she comments on how he’s made progress then. And he’s like “I’ll continue to make progress from here too because I’m desperate to be loved by you” :’)) SOBS MY BOY.

『征徒会～略奪の日々～』(Seitokai Ryakudatsu no Hibi)

This is Hikaru’s CD. Aka. Touji and first heroine’s son. So at this point I believe Touji is like… 50 years old? And so first heroine is like 40ish or so. Hikaru’s heroine is a childhood friend of his that he’s known since middle school, I think, and they’re currently in high school.

Anyway, he pretty much does awful stuff. How this relates to Touji is because Touji gives him the advice that “if you want/like a girl then impregnate her” LOL I KNOW I KNOW WHAT AWFUL ADVICE.

What’s important in this one though is the omake track at the end about Touji and his heroine again. Touji talks about the Saijou curse which is that the men in their family will never be loved by the women they loved (honestly, maybe they should re-think their methods–). And he’s amused because it looks like, despite how hard the first heroine tried to raise Hikaru to be kind and stuff, he still fell to this curse.

Heroine slaps Touji and is super pissed but Touji is pleased because for decades the heroine has treated him coolly and without emotion but now, because of Hikaru (and he’s super thankful to his son), she is reacting to him again and showing emotion to him.

Heroine tells him that she wants something and Touji is super giddy because this is the first time she’s asked him for something even though he’s showered her with everything he could buy. And she asks for his life. He’s like “okay i’ll die right now if you wish it” but she wants to kill him when he’s 100.

Basically, when he’s on his deathbed she wants to strangle him to death and he’s super cool with that. And he’s like “wow, you hate me enough to stay with me for 50 more years, huh. okay. to die by your hands at the very end is the happiest thing that could ever happen to me” :’)).

『体イク教師』(Taiiku Kyoushi)

This CD is about Makoto, a PE teacher at Hikaru’s school. His heroine is also a student at Hikaru’s school (not Hikaru’s girl though). And Makoto’s uhh grandpa knows… Touji’s family… I think? Well, and Touji. Not much here actually except for Touji’s horrible advice LOL. He gives it to Makoto too HAHA.

That and some reference to Touji being super capable, cool, and composed, and BAMF outside. Though it’s also widely-known that he is 1001% in love with his wife.

There’s a short story semi-related to Touji here where all the girls in all the CDs basically get together to have a tea party and chat. Makoto and Touji are sitting off to the side LOL and Makoto is super afraid that his girl will run away. And Touji’s heroine actually gives her the option like “if you want, I can make it so that Makoto can never come close to you again” but Makoto’s girl doesn’t choose that.

Touji also reassures Makoto in saying that his girl won’t leave because :’)) there’s no smell of despair :’)))) Makoto has a hilarious thought wondering if Touji is so amazing he has superhuman powers LOL.

She also tells Hikaru’s girl that she has the right to decide her own life and whatever she wants (including when to have children) and she, as Hikaru’s mother, will support the girl 100%.

(By the way, Makoto’s heroine has a tsundere relationship with him. I would say Hikaru’s girl loves him too in a weird stockholm and like pitying way. Only Touji’s heroine… does not :’D).

Anyway, Touji’s heroine gives them tips to handle their high sex-drive partners like using their hands or feet when they’re tired. I can never forget this because I was laughing so hard when I read this since Touji gets hard just hearing his wife talk about this and Makoto sees that and is like “uhHH” and Touji, cool and composed still, is like “…? Is something the matter?” HAHA.

And then comments on how he and Makoto are the same since Makoto is reacting to the idea too. These guys, honestly.

『征徒会～誘惑の日々～』(Seitokai Yuuwaku no Hibi)

Kazuma!! Golden retriever!! Arguably in the wrong series because he’s so sweet and not a crazy yandere. So, he actually loved Hikaru’s girl too (the three of them are childhood friends btw, him, Hikaru, and Hikaru’s girl) but then Hikaru uhh did his CD’s thing and Kazuma swore to be single forever.

BUT Hikaru blackmails a girl into seducing Kazuma for reasons. Hikaru gives the reason for doing this because he hates how Kazuma still hangs around his girl and his girl treats Kazuma nicely and stuff. So he wants Kazuma distracted (but honestly I feel like he knows Kazuma’s white knight personality and set everything up so Kazuma and Kazuma’s girl would fall in love).

Now that part I just talked about is important because Kazuma’s CD ALSO has a Touji omake and this is the one that shredded me to bits and made me love Touji so much cause he’s so saaaaad.

In this omake, which reveals that Touji and his heroine are like 50 years old, Touji goes on to explain the Saijou curse some more. So the story goes that his father was a gardener at this Saijou house and “fell in love” with Touji’s mother (his grandpa’s daughter) and his mother died in childbirth having Touji.

But the truth is that Touji’s father actually fell in love with Touji’s grandma (I can’t remember if it was mutual. I think so?) and anyway Touji’s dad left the house, became a successful businessman, and came back to find that there was a daughter who looked exactly like the grandma (aka. Touji’s mom) and so he married her instantly.

Publicly, they were a couple that were deeply in love and perfect etc etc but Touji thinks his mother knew the truth about how her husband married her because she looked like her own mother (and his true love was her mother) and she died after having Touji because fck this life. And then, later, Touji’s dad committed suicide under the tree.

Touji uncovered letters his dad wrote to his grandma which showed how his dad pretty much wrote to his grandma like she was his one love. He also uncovered a letter from his mother which said something like “how do you like my curse?” and basically implied that she thought Touji was a curse. (Note: My memories of this conversation are SUPER vague because I just started sobbing at the next part and that’s all I remember).

AND THIS IS THE PART THAT GETS ME. Basically, he compliments his heroine even more in saying that this is the Saijou curse and his origins are messed up but while his mother saw him as a curse, his heroine sees their son as hope and light, which is why she called him Hikaru (literally “light”).

And he’s sure that in the future Hikaru and Hikaru’s heroine will end up being in mutual love and the future will go well because Hikaru is the heroine’s son!! And so, even if he strays off the path and does horrible things, he’ll always return to the straight and narrow because, at his core, he’s a kind child. She raised him after all. T____T.

And Touji is prepared to be the last one of the cursed Saijou line. Never to have the love of his wife. He asks his heroine to bury him under the sakura tree as well when he dies by her hands because he wants to watch over her - as the tree - as she ascends to heaven. There’s no doubt she’ll ascend to heaven while he’ll drop down into hell LOL.

But then the heroine says she wants to be buried under the tree too. And Touji is like “wow you hate me that much to want to bind yourself to me even after death?” He thinks she’ll have a peaceful life after he’s gone and then laughs at how maybe he’ll turn into a ghost so he can haunt her and love her even when he’s bones. THIS MAN. PLEASE.

『監禁婚～甘やかな日々～』(Kankinkon Amayaka na Hibi)

I haven’t listened to this one yet but apparently it’s ?? happy fun times?? with everyone (except probably Touji LOL). Touji’s track is set during a time when he’s just married his girl and his friends come visit.

Meanwhile the rest of the guys have their CDs set after their CD’s events I believe. I’ve been saving this for way later (when I’m in the mood to cry over Touji again).

These ones below haven’t been released yet so I dunno their contents but they seem to be FDs to the others (so PE teacher Makoto, Kazuma’s summer vacation? maybe with others, and then the origin of the Saijou family).
