Synopsis (from website): Incubus… Incubi are demons that sneak into the dreams of humans to engage in sexual activity. But some incubi have low levels of magic. Such low-ranking incubi cannot enter dreams. This story is about two such low-ranking incubi… The two have lived their lives on the bottom wrung of demon society. After receiving advice that it’s easier to enter the dreams of a woman troubled by nightmares, they look for such a girl and the two stumble upon you, and are able to enter your dreams! The two pleasure every part of you, and pamper you thoroughly to help relieve you of stress and worries. Enjoy sweet, sweet dreams with the incubi Iku and Iku!
Final impressions (after multiple listens): My favorite entry from the “Living with an Incubus” series from one of my favorite VAs. Everything from monoblue is great but this is truly the best of the best for me. I love succubus/incubus, I love 3p, and I love cutesy guys. This checks all those boxes. The story is sweet and funny. I like that all entries in this series always includes a little callback to other characters too. Iku and Iku are so rambunctious but also cute that I feel like spoiling them. One of Monoblue’s trademarks is an ASMR scene and this audio is no exception. I always find myself falling asleep on the first listen because of how relaxing Hirame’s voice is. The smut is great as always too. Though Iku and Iku are obviously playing on this twin lovers trope, they feel like two individuals. Sometimes when VA voice these types of characters it can feel like clones instead of two different people or they push too hard to make the characters opposites of each other. That’s not the case here. Iku and Iku have the same level of immaturity and obviously want the same things (listner) but their motivations and actions are still different. These are two well thought out characters. I could see myself wanting more from them. I still need to get their standees and keychains.
Would I recommend it?: Absolutely! Clearly well thought characters even when the plot is nearly transparent. If you are someone who likes fluff, it doesn’t get more fluffy than this. Again, I love everything from Monoblue so obviously I would recommend anything from them. I think anyone who likes series will love this because of how unique each character and situation is. I would honestly listen to a mini audio with just the incubi interacting with each other. Only reason I wouldn’t recommend this audio is with any 3p audio, it can be overwhelming to the senses. Iku and Iku are twins and some people aren’t comfortable with that. Also just with the nature of them being demons, the beginning of the audio can be considered dubcon which some people aren’t comfortable with. Overall, I think everyone should listen to this audio and the sequel audio. I will be reviewing that next!
