So there's this horror manga I've been reading for a while called "Phantom tales of the night” ("Bakemono Yawa Zukushi" in japanese) and some time ago I found out there was a drama CD for it that got released around mid 2018.
I knew about it for some time now, but I never really bothered to search for it up until some days ago, when I went to look for it online after I went on the manga’s Wikipedia page out of boredom and the CD got mentioned at the end of the “media” section and I remembered it, but then I went to search for it and I couldn’t find it anywhere. So then I looked over on Wikipedia again and upon closer inspection I noticed there was a reference thing right next to one of the three voice actors that have participated in voicing for the CD (specifically reference nr 28).
So I clicked on it and it redirected me to website in japanese regarding the release of the CD, that website being natalie.mu/comic/news/286825 . There is an article on there with three images, two of them contained info about the CD, when and where it was going to be available, voice actors, stuff like that, and the third image was an illustration that I guess came along with the CD upon purchase. Ignoring the illustration I went and translated the other two photos, and on the second one I noticed a text saying "Released on Saturday, july 14th; Comic Gene August Issue!" so I went and searched it up, and to my surprise I found the issue, however it was sold out (I should have expcted this honestly, I mean this thing was released almost 5 years ago) so this is pretty much a dead end for me. There is no audio or anything online and I even searched for it over on eBay and even tried on Yahoo auctions but no results so far. I'm clueless and I don't know where else I should look for it.
It is pretty important to mention that the manga was released around 2016 and Yen Press got the license to translate it into English three years later, in 2019 and since the CD got released in 2018 there’s only the Japanese version.
Some other info regarding the drama CD and the manga in general:
• The three main voice actors are Takuma Nagatsuka, Toshiki Masuda and Hiroki Yasumoto
• The author of this manga is Matsuri, they have a twitter account, @nogi_matsuri and a pixiv account
• The length of the CD isn’t mentioned anywhere/ is unknown
• And the CD looks like this:
I surprisingly found the image with the CD via tumblr some time ago, however the op doesn’t have any other information about it. I even tried to reverse image search using the said photo but nothing happened. I guess it’s also worth mentioning that the drawing from the CD doesn’t appear in the manga. By that I mean I mean Matsuri (or whoever made the CD) didn’t just slap one of the drawings from the manga on the CD. The drawing isn’t available on Matsuri’s pixiv/twitter either.
I belive I listed all the important stuff, but if not feel free to ask me questions. This manga is pretty obscure and sadly not many people know about it, but I am a pretty big fan of itand I have been reading it since mid 2021, so again, feel free to ask me questions. Also if anyone has more about this CD please let me know.

There may be a slim chance of finding it, but I hope for the best
(I already posted this on the lesser known media board but I wanted to try my luck here too lol)
