Synopsis:

"The mouth is the second sexiest body part."

The famous cheerful guy, Saikawa had tried to rip off the gloomy kid, Sayama's mask. After that day, he had captured Saikawa's attention and Saikawa had volunteered to teach him for the upcoming examination, but with one condition, Saikawa can do whatever he wants with what is hiding under Sayama's mask.

He hates it when people touch his bare face, lips and inside his mouth, but he cannot say anything when Saikawa touch them. The combination between Saikawa's harassment and the awkward mask boy's behaviour, this manga will pack with sexual tension between these two.

Review Proper

I was initially very sus about the whole thing. Very obvious that I didn’t read it, huh? Seemed like an appeal to fetish based on description, title, and cover alone, so it gave me that b-tier PWP tingle (this later turned out to be Haga-kun lmao). Idk about you guys, but masks, for me, are diskasting. So when they was doing things with Saikawa’s mask on, I was just very concerned.

But again, thankfully, Mask Danshi turned out to be pretty wholesome towards the end. Although, I really have to say that his mask reveal was pretty anti-climactic lmao. I mean, if his main concern was his foul mouth, then even a mask wouldn’t be able to help him. If anything, I would’ve believed it more if he went Etou-san’s route in Customer Masquerade! and turned a 360 to mask his communication disorder. And I thought he was like Kare ga Masuku’s Jirou who was hiding bc idk everyone else just seems to be crayzay over his sexay underage mole. 🤷 Also, Saikawa looks like an NPC so it just didn’t make sense to me. I do love how Sayama’s so whipped for Saikawa, though. What the hell? He’s so sweet ksksksks.

Moving on to the voice acting, ngl I really felt that Egu’s performance here was very similar to Maeno’s in Perfect Propose. Although Kai was a bit colder, he and Sayama had similar personalities, especially in their tendency to mess with their bottoms. Don’t get me wrong, though. Egu was perfect for Sayama. More like, everyone was perfect for their roles. Kobayuu even added some squeakin in there. 👀 The only gripe I have about the voice work was the actor for Saikawa’s child self. Why was she trying so hard to be Edogawa Conan? 😂

Despite this being a stellar adaptation execution-wise, however, I will have to warn beginners that this’ll be hard to follow with the manga. There was a lot of cuts and additions in the BLCD, plus they rearranged some scenes. I also had an issue with the panelling of the manga itself. It makes it hard to sync the scenes with the BLCD tbh. Maybe try reading the manga once first then reading the manga with the BLCD after. Still, I’d recommend this to fans of this series AND we’re getting an adaptation for the sequel too, so we have a lot to look forward to.
