[CD11]本好きの下剋上　ハンネローレの貴族院五年生　ドラマCD

I’ll admit: I approached this drama CD skeptical that 2.5 hours could do justice to Rozemyne’s fifth year, a season packed with political landmines and her relentless book evangelism. But within minutes, Sumire Morohoshi’s performance sold me. Her Rozemyne isn’t just *read*—she’s *embodied*, with a voice that cracks under pressure but hardens when she’s cornered. The real revelation, though, is how the ensemble cast turns supporting characters into scene-stealers. Yuka Iguchi’s Ferdinand delivers his dry, exasperated lines with the timing of a comedian, while Megumi Toyoguchi’s Detlinde oozes venom so convincingly you’ll want to hiss back at your speakers. The production’s strength lies in its *physicality*: you can *hear* the eye-rolls in Hartmut’s sycophantic praise (Takumi Yaegashi, pitch-perfect) and the clenched teeth in Rozemyne’s forced politeness. That said, the breakneck pacing occasionally works *against* it. Scenes transition so swiftly that lesser conflicts—like Rozemyne’s fraught interactions with the Aub’s faction—get short shrift, reduced to snippets when they deserve full arcs. And while the sound design is immersive (the *thwack* of a book slamming onto a desk never fails to delight), some background music cues feel overly melodramatic, undercutting the story’s sharper satirical edges. Still, these are quibbles. What lingers is the sheer *fun* of it: a cast clearly relishing the material, a script that trusts listeners to keep up, and a heroine whose stubbornness feels revolutionary in a world that demands she shrink. If you’ve ever wanted to *hear* the aristocracy’s gasps when Rozemyne pulls another audacious move, this is your ticket.
