[Pure Yuri Love Experience] I Tried Not to Say "I Like You" [Study ASMR]

Since this is a voice work produced by a Vtuber, I'll admit I wasn't very familiar with her, but after listening through all 12 tracks, I'm deliberately writing this review as if from a first-time listener's perspective. Also, for reference, I'm someone who's used to listening to these kinds of first-person yuri voice works, but as a bit of advice for those who aren't: "Even if you can't immerse yourself at first, it's fine to just listen as 'the wall.'" Now, as the title "Pure Love Yuri Experience" suggests, this work lets you enjoy a romance between female students from the protagonist's perspective. The heroine's name remains "Tsukinogi Chiroru," but as with typical situation voice works, the story progresses through the relationship between "I" and "you." In terms of script structure, rather than a dramatic dialogue unfolding within a story, it has more the feel of the two spending time together woven through conversation, characterized by natural-sounding dialogue that flows smoothly into your head. Also, aside from the dialogue, the ASMR elements feel casual in a good way—like "sounds that are just there"—and that naturalness was really polished and made for the best listening experience. I'd love to talk endlessly about the developments from track 6 onward in the latter half, but since I only have 800 characters, let me share my personal favorite point. In track 3, there's a scene depicted exactly where, while things aren't yet clearly romantic between them, they talk about their "type"—I absolutely love that scene. Of course it's a scene that makes you agonize over whether or not she's referring to a specific person (is it me, or...), but it's also a scene of "growth" where she reflects on her own personality and behavior, even if the motive might be a little impure... After all, I think happiness is something that rains down on "people who are looking forward." You can't just keep your eyes downcast out of fear of losing something—this was a wonderful story about girls taking a step forward to protect the time they share with someone precious to them.

Writing sounds × study sounds × Tsukinogi Chiroru's voice = a sleep-inducing voice work! The in-depth English lesson and such is soothing just to listen to, and if you're constantly fighting sleep deprivation day to day, you'll surely fall asleep in an instant. The charm of this work isn't just that careful sound design, though—it's also in the "rawness" of the relationship. This work's "genuine yuri" factor is insane. I humbly admit I've purchased pretty much every so-called immersive first-person "yuri experience" work on the market, but this one is good enough to rank in my top 3 for how "real" it feels. Who was it that tweeted, "This script was definitely written by someone who's actually fallen for a girl before"? There's also a cut idea about "things getting serious if you kiss while wearing lip plumper," but I doubt most yuri fans would even get that reference! (Myself included!) The events that unfold feel real from start to finish. And the sense of distance between her and you, her one-and-only "best friend," is oddly realistic too. My heart kept racing the whole time I listened. To you, her beloved "best friend"— The small overflow of feelings, the frustration of wanting to say "I like you," the pain of not being able to say it, the cowardice of not saying it. Please accept her love, all jumbled up with those feelings. With your own hands. P.S. If you haven't listened to the sequel yet, I recommend stopping right here at this lovey-dovey happy ending. The sequel turns out to be a genuinely messed-up masterpiece—quite the opposite of the sweet, flirty main story (though you can catch a glimpse of that in this work's "heavy confession if-route cut content," for instance)—and there's a real risk of your brain getting smashed into a sweet, melted mess by an enormous hammer of heavy emotions. What kind of "pure love yuri experience" has a storyline that leads straight into the abyss of yuri!? If you want to end things on the sweet, happy main-story route, make SURE you stop here, okay!? Listen up! I mean it! Do NOT press that sequel purchase button!?

Since Chiroru-sensei was going to teach me about the wonders of yuri this time, I figured I couldn't let this opportunity pass, so I hurried to purchase the voice work. For me, yuri was always something to be viewed through the frame of a monitor or printed page—something to watch quietly from a distance, never moving from my spot. But this time, rather humbly, I decided to take the plunge—not as just one anonymous member of the audience, but fully embracing the "feminine energy" that Chiroru-sensei enlightened me with, and I listened to this work from the perspective of "you." First, the English study segment, which I should normally have a strong aversion to, was pure bliss thanks to how pleasant Chiroru-sensei's voice was to listen to—I could happily listen forever and lose track of time. This is truly being properly "taught a lesson." The whispering voice made me strangely nervous, wondering if it was really okay for me to be listening this closely, which ironically made it impossible to focus on studying—it was amazing. With the sound of chalk on the blackboard added in, Chiroru-sensei really settled into teacher mode. With that gracious voice and the satisfying sound effects layered in, I started wondering—wait, am I listening to a one-woman English-Japanese singing recital? Isn't this too luxurious? You could listen to it forever if you wanted to, and if you made it into a hypnosis voice track, you'd genuinely fall into a comfortable sleep. A strange space where you're allowed a moment of drowsy bliss. And then... Personally, from around here on, I felt like I was sharing a moment like carefully adding water drop by drop into a glass placed right at the very edge of a desk, right on the verge of overflowing. I was genuinely made to feel like I absolutely couldn't miss or zone out during the expression of fluctuating emotions—Chiroru-sensei is amazing. Once they'd safely conveyed their true feelings to each other, it became a super healing time of sharing each other's physical and emotional excitement, playing with and being played with by each other's heartbeats! It gets you right in the chest! From the front!! What I thought after listening to this work: Hang in there, Y chromosome guys.

A yuri story woven between Tsukinogi Chiroru and her best friend. I won't deny that some people listen while projecting themselves onto the best friend, but personally, I just want to be the wall in this space. Tsukinogi, who's too afraid of breaking their relationship to confess her feelings, and the best friend, who vaguely senses Tsukinogi's feelings but doesn't take any action herself. I strongly felt that I didn't want any unnecessary noise intruding into the space completed by just these two. I've originally been a Tsukinogi listener, so I was eagerly anticipating a voice work like this, and I was overjoyed that it was finally released. But I'd also really love for people who got interested simply because it's a yuri voice work to give it a listen. I think you'll come to understand just how amazing Tsukinogi Chiroru is. This doesn't affect the main story, but the names of a close-knit friend group come up during conversation. These two are Tsukinogi Chiroru's fellow debut-mates, so if you're interested, feel free to look them up.

This was a work that kept me grinning from start to finish. This was my first time buying this kind of work, but the naturalness of Chiroru-san's conversation made the immersion even stronger. The study/English grammar explanation part in particular was really easy to listen to. I personally have a bit of an aversion to English, but even I found the voice easy on the ears, with explanations that were simple to understand, and above all, the sound of the chalk felt really satisfying. I wish I could have had a school life like that myself. From the part that follows, it was a confession where every single word went straight into my brain. What else would you call that but happiness? Because her best friend is asleep, it's like talking to herself, but still, a message of love written with feeling put into every single word. And then, the two of them slowly, slowly convey their romantic feelings to each other while talking. After that... it was the kind of voice work where you could feel such a happy atmosphere in every little phrase that words failed me—truly the best.

When I listened while projecting myself onto—or rather, fully becoming—the best friend, I felt like I was able to experience Chiro-san to the fullest. In the confession part, I think there's probably a lot of pent-up feeling behind it, but once she starts, she just can't stop, and you can really feel that flustered sense of her saying things she couldn't say before, not even fully understanding what she's saying herself. From the second listen onward, it might be nice to imagine the best friend's lines and have a conversation in your head—that could add some flavor. The cut "confession if-route" is nice too. I really love that feeling of thinking way too far ahead, imagining all sorts of things, and getting gloomy imagining a bad ending. Given the best friend's personality, she seems like she'd say something like "how far ahead are you even thinking" while being a little exasperated. Actually, going by the atmosphere, it seems like something similar was indeed said to her...? As a side note. Ruka-chan and Mii-chan, from the close group of four mentioned in the story, are actually Chiroru-san's fellow debut-mates. In the story, it was Chiro-san and her best friend among those four who liked each other, so it's fun to imagine how the relationship and conversations among the four of them might go from here... You can imagine it based on those two's actual personalities, or just think of them purely as the two friends within the story—either way it's interesting. By the way, I can't quite picture Ruka-chan playing "pretend lovers" with the best friend character, so maybe that's just my lack of understanding of the real Rukako-san...

I'm always desperately searching DLsite for yuri voice works, but this is an outrageous masterpiece. The realism of the distance between them is incredible. Even the most mundane small talk flows in naturally, with a raw, lifelike quality in the best sense. And then, in a way, that comfortable sense of distance gets broken as it turns into romance, but even after becoming lovers, the distance of their playful back-and-forth doesn't really change much—I truly felt a realistic yuri romance in it.

I just purchased this and am still in the middle of watching the main content. As mentioned in the overview section too, considering the English learning and ASMR collaboration she streamed recently, and the sleep-inducing readings she's done in the past that made use of her gentle voice and atmosphere, there's no doubt about the high quality that comes from her wealth of experience. And the thorough attitude and passion toward creating her works, which can be felt even in her everyday streams, back up just how wonderful this work is. More than anything, I simply love the world she creates. Thank you so much for releasing such a wonderful work this time. I'm going to take my time and savor it fully.

You don't need to know "Tsukinoki Chiroru" to enjoy this, so I think a wide range of people can enjoy it. Obviously, men can only enjoy yuri between women from an objective standpoint. But I came to understand that with an audio work, you can experience proactive yuri between women firsthand. Recommended for people like this! ・People who like yuri ・People who like work sounds (ASMR) and whispering voices ・People who like a "pretty × cute" voice combo Here are my impressions in bullet points for now. ・My fantasy of wanting to be a female classmate of Chiroru-chan has been made real. ・Track02's whispering voice and work sounds were so comforting that I ended up safely falling asleep partway through listening. I think this is probably how a dog or cat feels sleeping next to its owner who's doing desk work. ・This is just!!!! This'll make you fall for girls!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that I think about it, I already liked girls to begin with… ・My whole life, all I wanted was to have a lovers' spat with Chiroru-chan. ・A detailed account regarding holding hands with Ruka-chan. ・The part of my brain that gets stimulated listening to this feels different from more explicit works. It's not even R-15, yet the satisfaction level is incredibly high. ・Track09 is an incredibly sweet situational voice drama. It reminded me that this is the kind of thing that got me into yuri in the first place. ・Track10 is a thrilling, heavy-calorie situational voice drama full of LOVE... The free talk feels practically like Tsukinoki Chiroru-sensei's own "voice work release chat stream," which personally makes me really happy. You can also hear an explosive yuri-paradise episode from her school days. Looking forward to both her streaming activities and her future works. Chiroru-chan's voice, the work sounds, and the yuri situations were all seriously amazing. Thank you so much. I've downloaded it to my phone and I'm listening to it 10 times a day.
