Is Utapri even relevant anymore or did they miss their chance?

>>41539157
The otome world is still not prepared for him.

Are the posters of these threads girls or just gays?

Just randomly browsed through old HDD and found an installed copy of BWS and couldn't help but to open and flip through the first hour or so. Brings back so many memories as I've read it on release and it aged like fine wine, really.
All-star male cast of that time and beautiful watercolor backgrounds and sad violins and fantasy gothic romance with a side of loving torture with hot iron aahhh I miss the old Rejet so much sisters ;;
I keep stalling MoshiKami after two routes because of stupid drama and horrendous possessed rapist oniichan looming on the horizon but I hope there's at least a part of that old and good rejet stuff still waiting ehh

>>41539316
I really want to play MoshiKami. No one has ported on PC yet?

>>41539157
It's over.

>>41539316
>old Rejet
I miss them too. Are they the ones that pioneered dummy head mic drama cds? Their music is top notch, but sometimes the writing in their drama cds are a hit or miss.

>>41537778
>you came to the right neighbourhood

>>41539305
Just girls anything else and they're lying

>>41543342
No nipple land.

>>41522231
>mentor cliche
It's only a cliche in that it's almost always a popular ship with the fandom. But in my experience in official it is perhaps even rarer than legit incest.

>>41539305
I've been wondering about this for years.

>>41539157
The recent movie did well.

>>41537778
This doesn't turn me on.

Uta is waiting for the moment to crush I7.

>>41537778

Wtf happen to Teita they look like shotas

>>41553247
She got better at drawing

>>41553247
Maybe it's a shotacon dating game.

>LITERALLY fell in love with a jpeg
I fucked up, sisters

>>41555722
Post the jpeg

>>41553247
Teita's art is a hit or miss sometimes. The not!BL game is clearly a miss

It's fine sis, don't be shy! Most here would fuck kanato. Minus kaji yuki if from /a/

>>41566393
Does he even have a dick? I know the saying about manlets having quite the package but I doubt it's true.

>>41566393
oof what the fuck is wrong with their legs

>>41553190
The moment: never

Still love the same jpeg

What's the appeal of games/anime about CBDCT like I7 or TsukiPro? I don't get it.

>>41568100
I don't get it either.
I need boys crushing pussy, otherwise I think they're closet gays.

>>41566393
Hand on the right, trying to grab laito is me okay I was found out.
Anatomy hurts.

>>41568100
>watch anime for the cute interactions and VAs
>read the douijns and pretend they are canon for everything else
Win/win

>>41568240
Nta but isn't there a guy who crushes pussy in Isolish7? I don't watch it, but I'm sure I saw some webm of one of the guys in love with their producer.

>>41569904
Literal shipbait.
I want silver-haired guy winning producer-chan, but isn't happening. No ship is ever happening in Faggotish7.

>>41568100
The genre doesn't bother me that much because they allow amateur voice actors debuting.
I prefer romance though, because when it's just cute guys being cute the story gets too pigeonholed into issues that are only relevant to the idol industry and it becomes quite autistic. I find it hard to swallow that they're all herbivores when they're the hottest men in the industry and could fuck any slut they want. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it's as if the plot is forcing them to accumulate sperm unnecessarily.

>>41570492
>it's as if the plot is forcing them to accumulate sperm unnecessarily.

The only thing that could save Broccoli from bankruptcy is Dolce Vita with R18 scenes and A-chan as a playable character.

I want more of this archetype

>>41539305
otome side is probably almost 99% girls, BL is probably a bit of a split, I definitely know at least a couple of guys post here. 4chan is pretty male dominated in general.

>>41573049
As long as it's just... well it's larp either way, but only one is harmless.

The world needs more Father/Son and especially Son/Father.

>>41575497
From what I read it only affects China and English-speaking regions, not Japan.
It seems like chinks really killed the hype.

>>41577600
Some of my first ever ships were Father/Son. It no longer comes as easy to me, but
>no Leaks route in Lamento

Like what?

>>41577766
Can gaijin keep playing with vpn or is it over?

>>41570492
irl idol guys can’t date or their female fans have a meltdown too.

>>41578050
I want to know this too. Can we keep using our accounts and pretend we're nips by switching regions?

>>41577574
>at least a couple of guys post here

Doubt, the bara anons have long left

>>41578050
>>41578178
It's over.
Get a Japanese husband and get the nationality to keep playing.

>>41578099
They can as long as nobody knows.

I miss him.

>>41578050
I stopped playing a while ago, but I don't remember the game ever allowing players to change region.

Good thing my favorites aren't voiced by him, fuck off Cloud

>>41583672
he’ll only get a slap on the wrist. tatsuhisa blew up because the country got obsessed with LiSA due to kimetsu no yaiba

>>41584959
Pretty much.

>>41584959
>he’ll only get a slap on the wrist
Why? His partner already slit her wrists for him.

>>41580318
i need this but in BL

>>41583672
Quick rundown?

>>41586073
https://bunshun.jp/articles/-/58332
Sakurai was dating his producer for 10+ years and even had a child with her. The poor woman found out he was married because of Bunshun.

>>41585777
Taku in SD is pretty much that. With the added flavor of crushing on the mom while treating her toddler son whenever he got too badly beaten up in her torture/rape dungeon, and then 20 years later straight up telling the son who he is now fucking about how much he simped for her and never ever regretted it.

>>41586145
holy kino

>>41585678
>>41586101
Did she attempt suicide?

>>41583672
He legitimately has too many important characters to voice. I doubt he will be replaced for the majority of his roles. Might get less new roles though.

>>41586418
The magazine doesn't explicitly say suicide, but that's what's speculated since she's in the hospital.
It was the same with Suzuki.

>>41579653
same

>>41586462
Sorry to betray you sisters but I really hope this doesn't affect his roles. We don't have a lot of good options with the newbie male VAs so we can't lose Sakurai

>>41586544
I don't think we're losing him.
Anyone can get away with it except Tatsu because of his super-popular waifu.

>>41586544
If you look at the replies most of them are hoping this doesn't affect his roles. I don't think they even care it happened.

>>41586544
Does he even get that many roles in these kind of games anymore?

>>41586544
I'll be honest I don't get why so many people want others to lose their jobs over cheating in the first place. It's disgusting yeah but I think them facing the consequences in their personal life is enough.

>>41586985
VAs nowadays are sub idols so its just part of the job

>>41586985
Honor is everything in Japan.
Even wives being cucked sort the possibility of commiting seppuku before divorcing.

Was there ever any explanation about what happened to Odalisque?

>>41587311

Kalmia8『グラン・オダリスク』発売中止のおしらせ
本作のKalmia8/株式会社ジンナイでの開発と発売を
中止させていただくこととなりました。
誠に申し訳ありません。

http://kalmia8.jp/grandeodalisque/index.html#news2

>>41587649
Oh I know, I mean behind the scenes gossip.

>>41587863
Allegedly, not enough budget.
Also allegedly, they have the intention of passing the project to another company

>>41588081
Can they pass it to aromarie? They will make the incest DLC main route. Imouto raping her oniisan.

>>41588081
>they have the intention of passing the project to another company
Huh?

>>41588099
>>41588182
>英社での開発および発売は中止となりますが、クリエター様方よりお預かりした素材は外部にお渡しきせていただく形で検討しております。

>>41586544
My horny is bigger than my morals. I'd still eargasm to Midorikawa Hikaru even if he committed mass murder.

>>41588301
They can send it to a mobage company

>>41588559
that's a waste of good art and music

>>41588301
Ughhhh R18 otome companies are dead. Aromarie surviving though merch, gibbes and soon EOPs, A'sRing and PIL-VAMP not so sure. Girls dynamics maybe Princess Britannia was shit.

I'm not sure there's been a single commerical R18 otome release since Himetai more than four years ago. It's over.

>>41588916
R18 otome are back to their doujin roots, rejoice

>>41588916
To think, Pil-Vamp put out 3 memorable games in 2016-2019, not even a year between releases, since then they've only made CDs. I didn't even realize how good we had it

>>41586544
There's plenty of good newbies VAs. Open your heart.

>>41586544
>We don't have a lot of good options with the newbie male VAs
Fuck off let my oshi have a main role for once in something that isn't porn

>>41586912
Otomate likes him. He's Shiratsuki in Dairoku.
Fun fact: Tatsuhisa is also in that game.

The uta no prince-sama dude/touma from sidem is gonna cheat on his wife too

>>41592323
>Terashima
>Wife
Pfff

>>41595736
He's married to Sato Satomi and she gave birth not too long ago.

>>41595764
How come? Terashima was not the one who gave birth? kek

Finally finished fire punch, I liked it more than chainsaw man with the added bonus of yandere onii-chans and borderline shota dog fucking

>>41597135
wrong board sis

TMGS4 came out a year ago. I can only hope we get to experience a release that generates that much buzz again.

>>41597212
I hope they improve the writing and art if they release another game. 3 is just better in every way.

>>41595789
Who's the father? Kaji or Hatano?

>>41586145
ok well slow damage isn't in english yet and i am eop

>>41597500
Kaji is another cuck. No one believes he scored.

>>41577566
Soichiro Shinonome is for you then

Needs more games with yandere otoutos fucking their oniichans.

Do traps count as BL? I really want to fuck a trap but I'm not gay

>>41603808
if they're 3D you're just a faggot, brosis

Is Hashime the most popular BL VN once you get past NC stuff?

>>41604262
I mean if he looks just like a girl then it shouldn't be gay

>>41604545
probably

>>41605064
Kinda wild, I don't think I heard much of it when I played the MG version. These days it got a manga, cafee collaborations and a lot of twitter aritsts.

I guess it's word of mouth for you.

>>41586544
I will never understand this side of Japan, why should he be "canceled" for an affair? Don't get me wrong he is a scumbag but he does not deserve to loose his job for this.

>>41606565
He isn't going to lose his job over this

>>41606565
I doubt Sakurai will lose anything. He's already a big name in the industry and his both wives are literal whos.
To provide a bit of context, consider the following.
Behind seiyuu, idols, and in all kinds of business there are investors behind. Many of them are independent. If they see they're investing in a scumbag, they can stop giving money and that's all. Banks don't give loans many times because the industry is risky and producers depend on the independent richfags. Those richfags are usually old people and traditionalists.

>>41606565
Yeah it's retarded, but I guess it's part of the whole idol persona some VA have.

>>41606844
Not gonna like I would torally watch an anime/tv series/documentary about the behind scenes of idol industry, it seems such a twisted and rotten buisness(basically the eastern equivalent of Hollywood)

>>41597233
Agree, the art really killed my hype for it. As soon as I saw the teacher with that rat's tail as hair I Missed Himuro and Waka

Sisters are you going to play Chou no Doku?

>>41607472
on console? fuck no
on PC? I'll finish it someday I swear

>>41607044
There's a dorama for adults that slightly addresses the topic. I can't recall the name, tho. A publishing company was involved, and a freelance writer saved its ass because the bank said no-no. After all, the editor-in-chief was involved in a scandal.

>>41607472
Yes, but I will miss the porn.

>>41595764
How much shit taste can someone have to fall for Terashima?

>>41609105
Desperate times lead to desperate decisions.

>>41604545
Perhaps. Hashihime's popularity shot in Japan over a night. And will probably die over a night too.

>>41606565
Like Okanobu and Namikawa he will keep his job because his women are nobodies. He just has to apologize and convince people he won't do it again. It isn't similar to Tattsun's case where he's literally married to one of the most popular artists in Japan so he's fucked.

Rare screenshot of the first (?) if not one of the first /blog/ threads upon the move from /vg/.

>>41613234
So did it come true?

>>41613268
Well we're not an image dump!

>>41613268
Not really, surprisingly.

>>41613268
I think we have as many jp readers as ever, in fact back in '15 I was still struggling with looking up every other kanji in shingakkou, my first real attempt at reading an untranslated VN basically

>>41612947
KanjaS was a little anemic. I wonder if he wants to make "normal" BL and not degeneracy people are expecting (I'm people).

>>41610741
He also tried to sodoku'd and went on a hiatus.

Piratechad anons, is there anything you can actually do with Vitamin dumps on Vita3k? It's all anyone seems to upload

>>41621115
Vpk huh. Eh, try to extract the game files of the vpk, then zip with 7zip as .zip
Hope it works for you.

>>41613654
how old were you in '15

>>41624268
2X yo

>>41613654
Somewhere around '15 was the turning point for me, but go back a few years and I was still using the Nintendo DS as my primary dictionary. Lmao what a nightmare.
Anyway we are about the same age, probably.

Happy Halloween to you too, anon.

Trick or Treat?

>>41637368
I'm between handsome and ii otoko.

We're not seeing faces here, but before choosing any of them remember this, sisters. From left to right:

イケメン (ikemen) Model-like. Cool. A good-looking man in terms of appearance, clothes, etc. They're considered good-looking because of their body shape and fashion sense even if they don't have nice faces.
美少年 (bishounen) Aesthetic and/or androgynous.
A faggy and beautiful young man.
美景 (bikei) Beautiful. An upgrade of bishounen.
ハンサム (handsome) A man with a nice face and also popular among women. It doesn't matter if he dresses like shit because he's scorching hot.
男前 (otokomae) Muscular. A manly man. Though. A type of man women can rely on because he's a strong trad-chad.
イイ男 (ii otoko) A man who has a comprehensive balance of character, appearance, cleanliness, gentleness, and a good sense of humor. The perfect man.

>>41637368
What gulag did that poor bishounen crawl out of?

>>41637368
where's the twinky femboy body. not that emaciated mess

>>41637368
It's hard for me to have to say this, but if that's the body of a bishounen, then I've been surrounded by them all my life. Gross.
I choose otokomae because it must be what I have always been looking for.

>>41638343
Looking at that picture, I have to say I agree about otokomae. It's a bit of a revelation.

>Slow Damage finally has a release date for EOPs
Holy fuck... How do you think they're going to react to the Madarame scat scene's, sisters?

>>41637368
>First row: tricks
>Second row: treats
Right?

>>41638606
The first row is a joke, sis.

>>41637368
Otokomae & Handsome

>>41637368
Otokomae hands down

>>41637368
ii otoko or handsome
otokomae is too concerned about his gains

>>41638442
Pretend to be outrage.

>>41638442
Drawn out by the praise and celebration when Rei cuts her dick off in front of Towa.

>>41637368
I would climb them all except the scrawny "bishounen"
Bottom row especially

Which otomate plotge is the best?

Man I wish male with a vagina futa had even a fraction of the popularity ABO enjoys in the fujo sphere. All that yiffing kills it for me.

>>41637368
I want a handsome otokomae.

>>41644660
this, that body type with a pretty face is the best combo

>>41644550
You're lucky if you haven't been tripping over all the totally-not-cuntboy-kink 'trans' fic over on Ao3. What universe do you live in? It's everywhere in fanart too. Still not on the level of futa in yuri, maybe, but still too damn much.

>>41644813
>trans
Ew, that's a hard no for me. Fetish should be l’art pour l’art, untainted by tumblr. But I was talking more about LNs and such rather than AO3.

>>41644891
Japanese omegaverse doesn't even have the yiffing because as far as I know they didn't get the dog dicks part of the memo, but I don't know if it futa is common in it. It's usually ass babies.

>>41645018
It's less pronounced, but even Japanese omegaverse has shades of it. The pheromones, heats, animalistic mating and pair bonding, all that shit is still there. Though mercifully no dog dicks. Sadly by now even this is too much for me, and "white women fuck dogs" is the last matter I want to be pondering while engaging with porn.
And also self-lubricating assholes with wombs attached are dumb and you miss out on the DP potential.

Omegaverse is trash

>>41644660
This is the only answer.

>>41645297
So is its enjoyers

I don't even care. I just want to see how the translator handled daijoubu because I've been trying and failing to think of a good solution for over a year.

>>41653158
Someone in the thread said that it was handled by the same retard that produced "big brudder", I hope that wasn't true.

If I were to make a otome game, what thing would I want to avoid doing? I know some people prefer to have self insert character instead of an actual heroine. So, I want to be mindful and maybe have a system that please both parties. Also, what's something that you would want in a dating sim?

>>41675614
Not ugly art, no English voice acting, not too pozzed
I will now click on your game's thumbnail at least

>>41675614
>what's something that you would want in a dating sim?
japanese text and voice acting

>>41675614
>If I were to make a otome game, what thing would I want to avoid doing?
Avoid embarrassing shit like making MCs so "witty and sarcastic" that they come off as super unlikable. Also, make the dudes actually handsome, endearing, and/or cute. Just give me that sweet shoujo shit.
>I know some people prefer to have self insert character instead of an actual heroine.
Personally, I can't stand ultra retards in non-comedic settings. I think I dropped CollarxMalice early on because the MC acted too dumb/irresponsible for me to take seriously as a supposed police officer. Also played Paradigm Paradox recently and the MC was ridiculously stupid. I held out for senpai route, Kamui best boy by far.
>Also, what's something that you would want in a dating sim?
idk if this has happened before but I really want a VN where I can always choose best boy and unlock the true route. Like you'd have to play the VN 4-5 times and each time you start a playthrough, you have some different scenario so you can see how your husbando acts in different situations. For an example, maybe one playthrough is being stuck in a horror-esque setting and another is some alternate universe fantasy setting. I think it's too ambitious of an idea to actually work out but it's something I would like to see it happen one day.

>>41675663
Pretty much this, I essentially have the premise of dating a single parent. But, I then realized that this had a similar premise to Dream Daddy. But, never played it and probably never will. So, hopefully it will stand on it's own without much comparison.
>>41675671
Will you settle for some jp voice clips that I bought, other wise voice acting as now is most likely ngmi.
>>41675766
It's not true route but, I had a idea for a sort personality based event system. The route itself is unchanged but, events between the plot are different depending on the player's set personality.
If that idea is achievable, that means more replay value for different scenes. And it will hopefully the player's choice of personality (which changes the dialogue options) will fill the place of actual herorine.
But, if this idea is too ambitious, I do have a calendar system like Tokimeki that will have a lot of events. Having both systems might be too much though.

>>41675614
I just want a heroine who can bully/dom the boys. And if it's an action setting, actually let her fight or do something useful. Hell, let her protect the LIs instead of the other way around.

>>41675855
>The route itself is unchanged but, events between the plot are different depending on the player's set personality.
That's not too weird, some CYOA games do that

>>41675614
Every CG will focus on the man

>>41674802
She's the same size as her mother. Her harem is lucky.

>>41675866
Not connected to the father dating otome concept I have but, I have some notes down for something along those lines. But, the concept may need some polishing.

> Basically, you're a spoiled princess with that thinks too highly of herself and wants to be a hero. Your father, knowing you will most likely get yourself kidnapped or killed, gathers a party of capable men to escort you to do whatever insane quest that you decided on.

In my head the heroine is basically early Farnese from Berserk. Doesn't like her authority questioned but, is ultimately very insecure.
Has a need to prove herself and eventually finds a way to be on par with her team. This concept need tons of work comparison to the other one.

>>41675958
Of course and in first person.

>>41675866
That and let the LIs shine without having to make MC a complete jobber.

>>41676143
Battle couples are the real shit, if only there was more of that.

>>41675614
Something like Yandere town, but not vaporware. I don't mind Eng text personally, just not cringe talk. Eng dub though no, I don't mind Chinese or Korean, eng dub 99,99% of times sucks.
A degenerate heroine would be fun. Like stealing the LIs underwear, stalking them, or going full yandere when things don't go her way. A perverted one would be fun too.
My ideal heroine would be a female version of Hitomi Hirosuke.

>>41678730
Have we lost the art of creating proper bishounen and ikemen nowadays

>>41685826
Yes. But let's not dwell on the past, can we have games with MGS character designs now?

Male idols are the only genre I will just never go near on principle.
It's just cringe to me. Perhaps it's lingering hatred of boybands left over from my days as an edgy emo teen.

>>41685963
I used to love them but honestly every concept/idea/story has been beaten to death. They also reuse the same VAs most of the time. There's no reason at all for new idol franchises to be born anymore.

UtaPri is the only idol franchise worth playing.

Why did they draw the same guy 6 times?

>>41606927
i don't understand why you'd go the idol route in japan instead of being a normal actor/singer/VA of which there are plenty. the money can't be worth the psychotic stalkers and insane social pressure to be perfect 24/7

Another new Holicworks game has been announced apparently.

>>41698072
Is that Hanazawa?

>>41694343
VA are pretty much forced to be idol nowadays. Everything is a multimedia project and shit, you gotta go to events and promote shit.

>>41694343
Idol/music projects are an easy way to get fans and a stepping stone into bigger things. See Eguchi, Shugo Nakamura and a couple of the HypMic VAs for example.

>>41698072
>>41697477
gee holicworks, how come you can announce 2 titles at once

>>41686208
Absolutely spot on.

>>41686017
I would touch an idol game if it actually had an interesting premise, like an Idol MC. The lis could be a producer, another idol and a yander fan

>>41676005
...now I want an otome game with Farnese as a MC and Gust as one of the lis, thanks anon. Seriously though I would love more fantasy otome games with settings similiar to Black Clover or Rayearth

Was it the gay priests one?

Why is there so few R18 otome?

>>41708639
There's probably a real reason but it just seems like a cursed genre to me, there are so few even passably entertaining ones for how long the genre has been around and I have no idea why. Surely it can't be that hard to fit a few sex scenes into a decent otome game, and yet.

>>41708639
Why is BL almost exclusively R18?

2022 and I still love Minakami.

Games for this feel?

You're right, that template phrase is retarded and belongs in containment boards, but so does wojakposting so you're not exactly making things better

Giving attention to bait is retarded. He posted wojak earlier in the thread too.

I blame CSM for the increase of wojak and chinposting on all boards.

It doesn't make sense but I'm convinced it's happening.

I hope you're right. I'll remember.

>>41709521
When I played Hashihime I imagined a universe where it was an original anime instead and the shitshow that would commence when everyone realised it was really going to be gay.
Though maybe that wouldn't happen anymore, I don't know. Maybe male anime fans are less weird about it these days.

Cute boys fucking is more fun.

>>41709240
I wonder if Adelta should stop trying to do everything by herself.
It feels like she's like a good author and when she has a vision, she sticks with it. Like Hashihime "every route has a theme and a different novel". It feels less about pandering (though no doubt she puts the shit she likes in it) and more about creating a certain flavor with the work.
But you can totally tell she ran out of steam with Hanazawa route, specially if you read the Q&A and she has this million of things that didn't make in the game and Hanazawa's post game story patching his character. Route 3 and 5 felt like she was sticking to her vision but she couldn't just do it. Honestly understandable given she was a small indie developer, but still.
I feel like reading Minakami's route was originally going to be "free" or something put thing in perspective with the work.

I hear Uultra C is messy but I haven't played. I'll probably try to read her next novel in JP, though it seems like it will have a LOT of content.

>>41713399
>I hear Uultra C is messy but I haven't played.
Messy is putting it nicely.

>>41709742
And yet there are dozen of romance novels/western romance mobile games with pornographic description of sex scenes. I wonder if for women is more arousing reading and fantasizing about sex instead of seeing images graphically representing it

>>41713660
>I wonder if for women is more arousing reading and fantasizing about sex instead of seeing images graphically representing it
This is exactly it. Ever wondered why romance is the highest selling novel genre?

>>41713660
I wonder if it's because Japan shames women for sex?

>>41713660
Have you seen how most porn is? It always objectifies the woman instead of the guy. Notice how pornographic BL is, when there are two guys to focus on and no women.

>>41713823
You even see it happening in the couple of r18 otome game CGs too

>>41713626
I'm curious to read it, but I don't like the theme sadly.

>>41713660
>I wonder if for women is more arousing reading and fantasizing about sex instead of seeing images graphically representing it
It absolutely is. I'm not sure why this is the reason, but it's completely true.

BL is really pornographic and I’m also fine with looking at male targeted porn where I find the guy attractive. I’m sure other women feel this way too. If I’m being honest, some of the female targeted porn I’ve seen is a bit cringy with the self-insert/no face girl.

>>41715220
Self-insert is just as if not more common in male targeted games though? Maybe there's proper statistics for it somewhere out there but I'd guess males and females are roughly equally likely to be self-inserters. I wonder if some of the female audience gravitates to BL specifically because they are more often aimed at players who simply never self-insert and not (mainly) because of teh gay.

>>41715547
There is a certain degree of self insterting for women in BL too though, otherwise the 90% of the MCs would not be cute bottoms that could pass as females.

>>41713802
Japan shames everyone for sex though, both men and women. It is probably one of the reasons why Japan is one the country with the lowest natality rate in the wold

>>41715761
Yeah I'm sure it happens, but I don't know if that is the reason. If there's one thing I've learned from attending cons it's that younger girls really are more attracted to feminine boys. But I think they mostly grow out of that by their 20s, so perhaps it comes down to who the target audience is regardless of the rating.

>>41715858
This explains why the Call me By your name guy(not Armie Hammer) is so popular among teenage girls.

>>41715947
Chalamet? Yeah. But if you are Yuropean you might still remember Tokio Hotel. Teenage girls were going crazy over it.

>>41713823
Eromen is a new genre of porn for women in japan. But, I haven't looked to much into it.

>>41716082
Too young for the Tokio Hotel craze but I remember the Justin Bieber/One Direction one

>>41715547
Not saying self-insert doesn’t exist in male-targeted porn (it definitely does just easier to ignore because there are still a decent amount of porn for guys where there is a defined MC), but the lack of female-targeted porn makes self-insert stuff stand out more

>>41708639
Maybe it's because high school or middle school girls are the main target audince for otome. I feel like older otaku dudes are the main galge audience, and everyone knows they're horny and permavirgins, but they probably assume adult women get lives after 25 and give up on 2d husbandos..

>>41715761
>therwise the 90% of the MCs would not be cute bottoms that could pass as females.
I definitely don't see this anymore these days. Heck even in BL, older one like TC had clear male looking characters who could even switch

>>41708639
Not enough return for the investment? New R18 audio dramas and TL genre stuff are constantly being released, so it's not like no one is aware of the fact that there is demand for R18 女性向け content. And in general, VNs seem to need more staff and coordination to even be green lit.
But also, otome game sales are decreasing overall and mobage brings in more money simply by existing, meaning developers are naturally going to be attracted to investing in the latter instead. Which by then, they might as well keep it a lower age rating and emphasize relationships between the male characters to appeal to a larger audience etc etc.

tl;dr mobage capitalism destroyed the otome game niche

>>41713660
>I wonder if for women is more arousing reading and fantasizing about sex instead of seeing images graphically representing it
This is likely a part of it too, and I'm sure there are studies that explore this concept somewhere out there.

Effeminate men are gross.
Nip women have shit taste.

>>41717781
Main otome target audience is very much adult women. Otomate in particular have said their audience is 20+ numerous times over the years.

>>41718614
I’m fine with effeminate men, as long as there is some masculinity in their personality. Personally, I’ve found the crossdressing/metrosexual dudes in otome consistently kino

That being said, I do agree that JP women need to branch out more

>>41718614
I don't like them either, but it's like Japanese women don't have a choice. If you notice, 99% of the population is slim and males look a little bit funny because it's like they lack more protein to have more muscle mass. Since there are few men who are attractive and stand out for their physique, it's not unexpected that Japanese women end up noticing those who stand out for a more delicate appearance.
And well, if you ask me, I'd look further into the fishbowl before choosing. I like physically well-built men.

>>41718731
>I’m fine with effeminate men, as long as there is some masculinity in their personality.
Agreed, if you guys have seen Blue Lock this anime season then a character called Chigiri is a good example of this. I was relieved to see that he still has a masculine personality while looking super beautiful/effeminate. Sometimes I like feminine-looking guys but only if they remain male in personality with it.

What are you on about lmao? You clearly have never been to Japan, are prejudiced or just have no idea what you’re talking about. There are plenty of well built Japanese men, whether it’s more or less than in America or Europe, I can’t comment on. Moreover, if what you said made any sense than content for gay Japanese men would also be full of effeminate men and that’s simply not the case.
