Synopsis: Escape Journey 2: I Did Not Deserve This Pain
Review Proper
Hello, I am back to reviewing BLCDs. I might be taking a little hiatus from scanning for a while ‘cause of the stress recent national elections events gave me, so might as well finish this log that’s gone on for too long lmao.
Anyway, onto the review.
You know, I knew what I signed up for. I was caught up with this when volume two was airing in the mag and stopped because it was too painful to continue. That was way back when I was a freshman in uni, I think, but I still haven’t finished volume two of the manga up until this day, so WHY DID I EVER THINK THAT LISTENING TO VOLUME TWO OF THE AUDIO ADAPTATION, KNOWING THAT IT WAS GONNA BE A CLIFFHANGER, WAS A GOOD IDEA?!
I don’t really have much to say about the plot since this isn’t the last installment, so we’ll dive straight into the technicalities.
Casting was perfect ‘cause hello??? Maeno x Nakazawa Masatomo??? AND WHO THE FUCK CASTED MAKONYAN TO BE THE THIRD WHEEL??? IT’S SO PERFECT, BUT WHY DO THIS??? I actually high-key low-key wanted Naoto to end up Nishina ‘cause first of all he has a big fucking
yea
and second of all, he’s not a rapist asshole with a rude ass family.
Here I said I wasn’t gonna talk about the plot. Anyway, Makonyan definitely sounds like he owns a goddamn 500cc and has been wanting that Tomo ass since time immemorial, so it’s perfect. Also, can we talk about how Hamano Daiki and Tomo loves Ogeretsu enough to the point of being cast repeatedly in their works. Daiki has three, the fuck.
As for the accuracy to the manga, since I used the magazine releases for the read-along, I got lost so many times lmao. The organization of the scenes were so different in the BLCD! There is a chance that Ogeretsu changed the order in the tankos, but the differences are so huge that I don’t think that’s likely. There were also a lot of cuts and adlibs, so it’s definitely not beginner friendly. To those still wanting to brave it, I’d suggest reading the mag or tank (whichever you have) before listening to the BLCD then reading it with the BLCD later. But to be completely honest, I won’t recommend listening to this right now. Again, it ends up at a cliff-hanger, and if, god-forbid, the studios take another five years to produce the last installment, it would hang you dry for a long ass time. Man, I don’t even know if I’d still be alive in 2026.

The palms and situation we received in the southern paradise, we will dance brilliantly for the 5th anniversary year!
A gentle song that warms your heart. Hamano: I thought it was a fresh song with a calmness that expresses the personalities of these four members, and also a new side that you can’t see in the usual units. (Michiru Enjouji is more pressured than the other…
