Summary: 

A priest. A high-schooler. A cop. A penguin. And oh, a ghost, too. It may sound like the perfect set-up to a crack-filled drama CD, but no. Instead, we get a fabulous original Drama CD with an peaceful and magical atmosphere a la Natsume Yuujincho. Chidori Miki, our priest, runs the Penguin Shrine where he and his younger half-brother, Tane, reside. Miki’s (the dark-haired, megane-wearing fellow) goal is to make sure their shrine strives on— but the problem is, though he gets amazing grades at the priest exams (or whatever, pardon me, I’m too good on the details here), he’s got no divine power (jintsuuriki) whatsoever. Tane, the high-schooler, has a total brother complex and, ironically enough, the divine power that Miki lacks— problem is, he’s got no intention whatsoever to take up the study. Then, Ten, the cop, who’s also Tane’s half-brother (as they have the same mother), is a cool dude with way less shit to worry about (don’t let my description deceive you, Ten’s my favourite). And finally, Enishi, the mysterious penguin who claims he’s God’s servant— but, you know, is actually just a drunk pervert— and other things…

Episode 1 introduces the setting and characters while also having a whole (fabulous) side-plot with a lost ghost.

Though the Drama may seem quite light-hearted, and though it largely is, its latter half delves deeper into the characters, their relationships and intentions— and does it well enough that I hope this series lasts on.
