A 'drama CD' is form of audio theatre where a collection of audio files presented in one or more CDs consisting of voice actors who act out a set storyline by reading from a script and/or improvising. Much like the radio drama, a play is acted out simply with the use of sound and no visual stimula to progress the story. Drama CDs are usually based on other series consisting mostly of TV shows and novels.
Drama CDs have effectively become well-known among Japanese anime and manga fans since many manga that become anime are later able to produce drama CDs using the seiyū, or voice actors, that voiced the characters from the anime. However, this is not always the case as there are examples of the drama CDs having an entirely different cast from the anime as in ''Ouran High School Host Club'' and ''D.N.Angel''. Additionally, drama CDs can also be based on visual novels that have partial or full voice acting associated with the video game.
