What is the most gut wrenching otome CD you've listened to?

[secretpapa]

Whether it's unrequited love or obsessive/forbidden love, I've listened to quite a few heartbreaking audios, but very few (close to none) have actually made me tear up and sit in silence afterwards. While I mainly enjoy lovey-dovey slice of life audio dramas, I occasionally also want to listen to well-written out emotional stories. Has there ever been an Otome CD that has made you cry/close to crying? I would love to hear some recommendations! ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

the Seventh Heaven series by Rejet, it is genuinely the most heartbreaking piece of media ive ever come across. The heroine (us) is about to commit suicide and is greeted by a shinigami who offers to give her a painless death if she waits with them until the next full moon. Atleast listen to the first volume (the best one), which gave me depression for MONTHS im not even joking... I cried so much from this cd and I genuinely think it about often because of how its affected me and my perception of suicide and death. Girl if this doesnt make you cry then idk what will. It has translation available online too if you search for it!

Another one by Rejet, the Shinsengumi asurenagasa series, IS ALSO SO PAINFUL it follows a reimagining of the shinsengumi who take in an orphaned girl (us) due to war. It sounds simple but the stories are so gut wrenching and really makes you realise how tragic war is, aight im gonna stop there before I start crying again

adding on to this: the Thanatos Night series has a similar plot and is also made by Rejet if u haven't heard of it already. it takes place in more of a school-type setting . the most gut-wrenching ones imo are definitely vol. 1, 3, 4, and 6. vol. 2 will kinda break you out of the Feels tho, because the protagonist is essentially a playboy who uses the MC for her soul

Personally, I would recommend the Bloody Endings Series, especially volume 2, Yuki no Joo Hen. The story is about a mage who lives in isolation and is feared by others because of his seemingly frozen heart and inability to feel emotions. The female protagonist, on the other hand, is a princess who ends up being sent to her death due to the envy of others. I don't want to say too much to avoid spoilers, but the ending left me thinking for quite a while. That said, unlike other volumes in the same series, in this one I was actually able to empathize with the male protagonist and understand his actions a bit better. It's definitely one of those dramas that I finished and kept thinking about the story even after hearing the ending.

Oh god, thanks for reminding me of this series! They were such a wild ride, every part. But yeah, the mage one... where he uses his magic on MC, mmm kino

Shinsengumi Mokuhiroku Wasurenagusa was one of the most heart wrenching series I listened to. The story of each Shinsengumi and how they survive or died. MC waiting and hoping for the person's return.

I already forgot the title but I remember listening to the forbidden love Audio drama in which a younger brother kept pleading for his elder sister (MC) to say 'I love you' to him.. He's crying so heartbreakingly and I'm crying while listening too.. For him his sister is the only light in his world.. ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡

溺愛監禁 零 from BoneCage voiced by Chasuke. It's R18 but it made me really sad by the end. It's also about a woman who wants to commit suicide and when she is about to jump, a guy confesses his feelings and suggests she live for him. I didn't expect the ending, I thought it would go a different route, since it's r18 lol The way they played into my face :(

YES SOMEONE ELSE WHO ALSO KNOWS THIS CD!!! Saitos route was my favourite, but listening them all genuinely wounded me so terribly, I dont think i could ever listen to them again because I know it would literally make me relapse into another depressive episode, and im being 100% serious right now... istg this series is a crime against humanity even talking and thinking about it is gonna make me tear up again ITS SO PAINFUL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL MY PAST SELF TO NEVER LISTEN TO THIS CD
