The Beastly Desires of My Younger Subordinate — Review

There’s a particular kind of whiplash in discovering that the coworker who follows you around like an eager puppy has an entirely different side once the office door closes. Reviewers say that reveal is exactly what makes this release memorable.

What You’re Getting

circle white mist built this around CV 一条ひらめ, with an official English-translated script available, tagged for ASMR, binaural/dummy-head recording, repeated climax, office/workplace setting, sweetness, dirty talk, and creampie content. It’s priced at ¥643 and includes bundled bonus content — a manga and a novel continuing the story — beyond the core audio. Reviewers do flag the main audio as being on the shorter side, so factor that into expectations if you’re hoping for an especially long single sitting. Released back in March 2020, it’s one of the older entries in this batch, and its continued high ranking years later suggests it has held up well rather than being a product of recency bias in the review data.

Story & Scenario

The core hook is a contrast: outwardly, the character is innocent and puppyish, calling the heroine “senpai” with what reads as genuine, uncomplicated devotion. Alone with her, though, he becomes considerably bolder and more forceful — and reviewers repeatedly say the reveal caught them off guard in the best way. The “senpai” address itself is called out with particular enthusiasm as a specific, memorable draw, which suggests the character writing leans into that dynamic consistently rather than treating it as a throwaway detail. A smaller but appreciated touch: reviewers note the character uses protection in the first intimate scene, contrasting it with later, less careful scenes as the story’s intensity escalates — a bit of character consistency that seems to land well with listeners paying attention to detail.

That small detail is a useful signal about the release’s overall craft: it suggests the writers are tracking the character’s emotional state scene to scene rather than treating each intimate moment as interchangeable. As his confidence grows and the relationship deepens, his behavior shifts accordingly — which is a subtler kind of characterization than the more common approach of establishing a trait once and repeating it unchanged for the rest of the runtime.

Sound & Voice

一条ひらめ’s performance is doing the heavy lifting on the contrast that makes this release work — puppyish and eager on the surface, then noticeably more commanding once the setting shifts to private. The included English script gives non-Japanese-speaking listeners full access to that dialogue-driven contrast, which matters here since so much of the appeal is in the specific things he says rather than just tone or sound design alone.

Who Will Love This

If you enjoy the “secretly bold junior” archetype and want a workplace setting with genuine warmth underneath the intensity, this is a well-regarded example of the type — and the bundled manga and novel make it a good value pick if you like extending a story beyond the audio itself. It’s a less ideal fit if you specifically want a long, multi-track listen; a few reviewers wished the core audio ran longer given how quickly the teasing built toward its climax, so go in expecting a tighter runtime than some of the circle’s other releases. Fans of this circle’s style should also note it shares a “beastly desires” naming pattern with at least one other highly-rated release in its catalog, so if the puppyish-junior archetype appeals to you here, a colleague-focused counterpart from the same circle is worth exploring next.

The Verdict

Our score: 4.5/5. DLsite’s average sits around 4.71 from a substantial review base, and the reviews are consistently positive about both the character reveal and the bonus content. The main recurring wish — more runtime — reads as a compliment about how much listeners enjoyed what’s there rather than a real structural flaw, so we’re keeping the score high. Between the included English script and the bundled extras, this is a solid, accessible pick for readers newer to the circle’s catalog.
