) I think that reason is self-explanatory and perfectly reasonable, no? It’s smut for the people who are more excited about audio than they are by visuals.On the other hand, while some rated/adult otome CDs have very intriguing plots as well (Hanakagami, Milky Chain, D’avrilmoon, Operetta, and Hitsujigumo are the top producers that come to mind when I think of plot-heavy) the emphasis is on the carnality and the loveliness of hearing a character (or a seiyuu) in question moan into your ears.
