/jp/ - Otaku Culture

It’s weird how long it took for the hamefura game to get an English release announced. Did anyone here play it?
It’s strange they didn’t make routes for the girls. I don’t really care for yuri but it seemed like that was what a lot of the audience were there for.

>>43909330
behold, Azuma's game, now with shitty twatter memes and retarded burgerland references

>>43909330
May check out Paradise for Furukawa Makoto, too bad I'm told his route is terrible.

The first game looks just fapbait. Surprised they picked something so old.

>>43910866
>too bad I'm told his route is terrible
Whoever told you this needs attitude adjustment

>>43911392
I heard he's a minku and I tragically don't enjoy them.

>>43911456
If I’m honest you will hate Paradise if you are a vanillafag or want cute romance. There’s not one fully consensual route.

>>43911456
No way, he's much better and there are no retarded attempts to downplay the abuse with muh sad past or some shit. Wifebeating scenes are also pretty kino with Azuma's realistic reactions and the mental hoops he has to jump through to convince himself it's all right.
Though right, if you expect vanilla, you won't like the game.

>>43911497
>>43911529
Yeah I'm a romancefag. I don't mind if the love interest does something shitty at one point or if the game gets dark (like stuff like Nie no Machi or Hashihime), but TnC tier stuff is not for me.

>>43911628
People really overestimate the fucked up-ness of TnC. Motomi route is totally vanilla, N and Rin are only objectionable if you are ultra sensitive, Shiki is whatever but still ranks fairly low, Keisuke gets pretty messed up but ends in turbo vanilla. Use a guide to avoid the snuff/body modification of the bad ends and it really isn't that special.

>>43910608
I liked it but it was generic. Geord spends his whole route getting cucked so that was funny. The best part was bakarina being moe after she realizes she loves whichever guy on the route you play. Uchida did soo good on those parts. And the yuri was always bait for money from LNobotomites.

>>43912386
Was the romance plenty enough or was it barebones?

>>43911915
I think Shiki being the posterchild for the game sorta warps the perception. Well that and the edgy dark aesthetics.

A lot of BL novel get meme as ultra dark but they are not actually that messed up compared to something like euphoria or saya no uta

>>43912697
It depended on the route but mostly no. And thats because the worst part was unfortunately bakarina was pretty flanderized. In the LN she was donkan and airheaded yet still had the average intellegence of a high schooler, but in this game she's like a special needs 5 year old who needs all 6 tard ranglers to keep her from killing herself. So it leans towards the "comedy" aspect more, many scenes are just a reaction to her trying to avoid villainess bad end in a whacky way like the anime. The game basically feels like filler for the anime but with Kat being dumber and more obsessed with food than usual. Very vague spoilers but Nicol's route mostly focuses on some retarded b plot that was really uninteresting, Geord's hinges on Kat constantly trying to not get in the way of him and Maria and avoid being executed which drives him to a cuck rage, Alan's route was pretty fun because the misogynist guy is becomes the main villain there, and I think Keiths route has the mosy affection all throughout because he was so fucking horny. I honestly don't remember much of black hair pirate guys route and I didn't finish the last guy.

>>43912754
Could have picked better examples, c’mon. First is just standard death game shit, only bad if you’re weak to even the slightest bit of gore and literal shit. Second game is just ooooohhhh sentient meat sacks and mind break how terrifying.

>>43912940
That's lame. I barely enjoyed the show in the first place because it was mostly yurishit bait for LN subhumans and bakarina acted too retarded for the forced comedy. How this series got so popular is beyond me.

I didn't like Minku but Matsuda was fun desu.
Don't remember something extreme for Shiki. He is just katana, leather, taciturn midorikawa and rape.
The endings aren't that extreme too
>the nazi overloads
>the town bicycle akira and cuck shiki
And the "best" one where shiki ends up crippled and akira wiping his ass for the rest of his life.
On the other hand Keisuke dancing around with Akiras instestines was pretty fucked up thinking about it now even tho it became a meme. Let's not forget the screwdrivers scene.
Same with Minku, he is wifebeater but the yakuza dudes mindbreaking Aoba and raping him with their android animals or Clear chopping off Aoba's limbs were more "shocking".

>>43906688
Quartett!! is very short and has an eng fan patch so you can try with that first! Protagonist is voiced by Sakurai so I don't know if you hold a grudge on him but he did a really good job. Then there's mahou one that jastusa translated whereas they censored some stuff but vndb kuns made restoration patches. Rondo leaflet doesn't have a tl but it's good too. The designs are indeed very cute.

>>43915031
Thanks anon! Appreciate the detailed response, this is very helpful. I try not to be too harsh on the VA's history but rather look at their work objectively. Sakurai is quite good and I'm guilty loving Terashima's work myself since he did voice Otoya and Kageaki.
I'm a big time sucker for guys with red/orange hair so that's great to know Quartett!! is a good choice for a first one.

I don’t trust this guy at all

>>43915441
I want to steal one of his ugly shoes and smack his head with it while he isn't looking

>>43915441
He'd be my fav, if it wasn't for that quasimodo hideous design.
>168
Manlet on top of it.

Blog's husband is 1,70 cm. Humble yourselves sisters nips are manlets.

My cute husband Majima is a manlet but that's okay because he's still taller than me and will always be perfect for headpats.

>>43915455
His shoes are confusing…are they just slip on sandals with random flaps or flip flops?
>>43915541
Manlets are cute

>majima is shorter than me by 2cm
I'm going to cut my legs off

My only self insert trait is comparing my height with the heights of LIs, it often ends in suffering as I am 173cm.

Choudoku guys are all manlets because that was literally a gorillion years ago. You'd probably be a womenlet if you existed back then, too.

>>43915638
I never played that much of it but it was fun that Gunjou no Yuki used this as a plot point to foreshadow a character was a time traveller.

https://mangagamer.org/hanaawase/

I stopped looking at LI heights. I'm 178cm, it's only suffering for me.

150cm and under sisters, did we win or lose? Literally any male can rapechad us.

My husband is a 170cm high schooler

>>43916000
I get that, I'm 181cm and at this point I think I've brainwashed myself into liking shorter men.

>>43916375
>I think I've brainwashed myself into liking shorter men
just make sure to keep it 2d

My husband is a 130cm 5th grader

Average otome protagonist height is what? 152-154cm or something?

Wish Kintouka or Nie no Machi got picked up. I wonder why they picked them

tfw i keep yumeing bl boys

It's some weird collaboration between Otomate and the baseball team Tokyo Yakult Swallows. Is baseball really that popular with nip women to warrant this?

>>43921966
It's popular but I don't know if there's an overlap with otomefags.

I'm gonna make my own joseimuke project with blackjack and hookers

>>43921966
>>43922314
Something like nearly half of japanese households watched the WBC finals even though it was at 8AM on a Wednesday. There were literally Nootbar grade schooler memes

That's the best part

Also Masquerade is getting localized? In 2023? What the fuck?

Anyone played Kyokai no Shirayuki? Does it have any value apart from Kinako's art?

>>43927438
Barely any plot but it was a pretty good moege. MC being spunky made the romances cute.

I realized Shingakkou is probably never going to get localized because they lost voice permissions, that's sad.

>>43928530
They could. Just translate it without voice and then 1 month after the release, release an unofficial voice patch on vndb anonymously as a dedicated fan or whatever. But they are retards so.

>>43928530
Would any localization company want to translate that game? I haven't played it yet but I know it has a literal OFM priest preying on children. All the JP->EN translators are into Western social media from what I can tell, too. Was always under the impression that's why the West barely gets R18 otome titles since the content is "problematic" towards women.
Tbh I got tired of waiting and just learned Japanese anyway. A few hours each day with Anki reps and reading practice goes a long way. Even if MTL/AI takes over, it's still good for your health to learn another language.

>>43928702
Yet they chose Masquarade, where Masquarade has an unhinged escaped convict go to a school, hold students and adults hostages and force them to do weird shit like inserting coca cola bottles or school supplies up their assholes and other degenerate stuff. Their teacher is even more unhinged, chasing and trying to rape his students while wearing a g-string.
They just want to do porn focused blvns and Shingakkou doesn't have a lot porn.

August is too based for plebian eops to like. Minku and floor shitter Madarame more than enough for them.

>>43928891
Masquerade is more like one of those gay JAV series (Inmu etc) in tone than a proper BL/yaoi game, it's going to be a bigger shitstorm than Hadaka Shitsuji isn't it?

Does slow damage get any better? I'm in chapter 1 and fell asleep 3 times already.

>>43929248
Kek from my favorite /blog edits. Personally I liked it more than Hadaka. If it had better art it would be more popular.
The S route made my sides hurt from laughing, they were so random, like fishing the detective, whiping everyone, take them to the pigsty and have cows licking them all over.

>>43929248
I played this game when I was really young, thought it was hilarious shit. The protagonist was more or less just Rance but gay lmao
No clue why EOPs and zoomers thought it was the worst shit ever. Must that mutt blood

>>43929434
I guess for kids who think yaoi = fluffy happy gay shit it's quite a punch in the guts. It is one of the more hardcore and fucked up BL games out there.

>>43929249
Technically the common route ends after chapter 1, though both routes that will open up for you on first run give you a chapter 2 that are very similar to the first one in style except for a slightly bigger focus on the route character. Route 3 skips this filler chapter but that will only open up on second playthrough, while route 4 not even attempting to hide its true route status skips the common route altogether.

>>43929515
>kids who think yaoi = fluffy happy gay shit
When the fuck did that happen. We used to casually joke with corn rape dammit.

Koibito Yuugi was as fucked as masquarade. Though the plot is snoozefest school life, the onii san is a whole different category of schizo. The other LIs are as fucked but not as much as the dude. Sasuga chou no doku writer.

>>43929643
It's the whole shaming of "problematic" content that's become common in recent years. Old fujos couldn't care less but zoomers grow up with it.

>>43929515
It's interesting since BLVNs are generally non-vanilla to be begin with. Hadaka is just a clear shitpost game but somehow poking fun at fictional characters in that way is a crime against humanity nowadays.

>>43929657
Oh yes, I remember an old review on LJ calling it the worst BL game ever (this from someone who had played Enzai)

>>43929643
>>43929676
I don't know, it's like they manage to be perpetually oblivious to how perverted BL manga/games are. "Yaoi fans" who can't stand "non-con" were common back then too.

>>43929708
I can't even think of a vanilla BLVN. Gakuen Heaven maybe? Didn't play that.

Most vanilla I've played was probably Miracle Noton but even that had rape and such.

>>43929767
Oh and blood-related incest if I remember well, quite rare nowadays.

>>43928594
Jast blue has done informal interest checks in unvoiced titles before in a way that I always assumed was about Shingakkou. The recent announcements only cinched it. Unfortunately their followers managed to argue specifically against Shingakkou's case, ie. they would accept it only if it was unvoiced to begin with.

>>43929747
I went to it fully blind and the only reason I picked it up was because of majima's writer, who also did the art btw and because I like pilslash more than nitro.
First playthrough is fine just the early 00s retardness and tropes we saw back then like in gravitation, punch up, koisuru boukun etc retarded still kind of nostalgic. Some weird shit still happen but after you complete all the LIs oniichans route and dark ends unlock and the REAL SHIT start. Oniichan HE is fine....can't say the same about his dark one. All of the dark endings are pretty fucked up but
>niisama
>yakuza dude
>megane 1
>megane 2
Are extremely fucked up. The yakuza dude got dramacd btw. Unlike tougo, pilslash writers weren't joking. Mashou Megane does have weird shit endings too but they cut them, unlike koibito who for example showed full mindbreaking scene and yakuzas forcing a dog on mc.

>>43929767
>I can't even think of a vanilla BLVN. Gakuen Heaven maybe? Didn't play that.
Probably some SFW ones.

I started as a vanillafag too but here I am today

It all circles back to sweet vanilla once you are done pretending to enjoy ABO guro poop eating NTR eye pussy rape.

>sweet vanilla
I'd rather take NTR and turds

Yves is missing out. Not a blfag but if I was Yves I'd let him fuck me too.

>>43930866
I haven't even played the game yet and I'm already shipping those two. Even made fanfictions in my head.

But I literally can’t fap and cum unless someone is in pain or there’s gore. Some people are just built different.

>>43930827
I used to consider myself a vanillafag, but that was when UGH was still considered vanilla. There's an interesting parallel between this and my political alignment that I'm not going to delve on.

I go vanilla and deredere for Majima only. The rest should suffer.

Pure vanilla is best.

>>43928968
His looks are very generic but there's something charming about him. Why are all best boys like that?

I like vanilla with a touch of darkness in it. Something like Minakami's route from Hashihime. Basically I want my characters to suffer before they get a happy ending.

I like Majima

Are there any games you like/play that you won't discuss outside of here due to possible clout/negative reactions?

>>43928891
>Their teacher is even more unhinged, chasing and trying to rape his students while wearing a g-string.
which route is this kek

>>43929248
The funny thing is that you can go for "bad" endings where Tomoaki is only a mild sadist and it plays out more like a traditional romance. It's an interesting bit of player disconnect where they're horrified by Tomoaki but they have full control over what he does so they're the ones that made him behave that way.

Maybe it's just my thought process since it never occurred to me to blame the character for the choices I was making him do.

>>43929248
Hadaka wasn't a shitstorm, no one was actually offended.

>>43934541
The reaction to hadaka was closer to jokes about boku no pico or whatever shocking hentai is the go-to for that kind of thing these days, though I think a small fraction of those people were genuinely offended, mostly tween girls who had never seen anything that hardcore before and had walked into it blindly after DMMD was popular.
That being said I doubt there’ll be a shitstorm about Masquerade either, it was a unique situation that led relative normies to hadaka, no one but BLVN diehards are going to go near Masquerade.

>>43934822
VN in general are too niche for the average twitter baby who only consumes mainsteam shit. Look how little drama slow damage created

>>43934822
Masquerade's unassuming art will likely not nearly attract as much attention so I doubt anything big will happen. Even the CGs aren't that extreme from first glance. The thing I like about this hobby is that it filters secondaries hard. For many, they
cannot "watch" a VN.
At any rate, twitter users and zoomers lose their shit because they didn't exist during the 90s/early 2000s where kids constantly prank each other with shock images. It was typical for friends to drop a troll link to something like goatse and call each other racial or homophobic slurs for fun.

For this that is going to release at the end of this month. I finished shingakkou, yet I can't stop thinking about it. I loved it. This was recommended to me. Apparently both games share similarities.
If you have any other reccomendations similar to shingakkou, they'll be more than welcome anons! The genre doesn't matter really!

>>43939812
Every day i think about virche loc, I've been avoiding spoilers like crazy

Do you ever purposefully pick a bad choice to see the LI get upset or disappointed?

>>43931936
Every single one.
I honestly prefer that people irl think I'm a zero-personality npc, rather than them knowing I know what the words otome or blvn even mean

>>43940525
If I know that it's a mostly vanilla game with no 'disturbing imagery' warning before hand, then yes. Every time. It's fun to see the LI pout.
But after the trauma of 12 year old me seeing the dmmd bad ends, if a game even slightly hints at darker themes, I go for a guide and pick the safe choices/routes.
Bullying is fun, but if too many of those choices accumulate into a guro-rape-mindbreak-amputation end, I'll pass

>>43940525
I think it depends on the game and how bad ending are structures. If they are a quick thing, usually I try to get them asap.

>>43940525

I still like it even if it's partial/non-blood related. Most of this is just heavily context dependant for me rather than being purely turned off by these powerpoints not having a certain fetish at a strict definition but idk

>>43978178
Yeah it doesn't matter, none of these games will ever delve into the hardship of raising your retard inbred children anyway

https://vndb.org/v28326 has some I think, it's not otome though. The furry guy looks ugly as fuck to me but I'm not a furry so I wouldn't know.

>>43996641
I usually do but in this case, I'm replaying the game so I don't want to have to go through stuff I already went through. I remember most of the basic plot stuff, but I'm gunning for endings I didn't get the last time I played.

>>43998849
Yes you know, I want to marry monster boys! And not human boys with cat ears and horns! Fuuuck!

4chan is a woman hate site.

I want to get something for my girlfriend's birthday this month and was thinking to surprise her with an otome game from steam summer sale. She's pretty vanilla liking anything with romance but she's also a fan of siblings incest. She reads a lot of manhwas and watches dramas but hasn't really played actual otome VNs. Any recommendations?
I had my eyes on Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly and Amnesia: Memories but I'm not sure because of a few bad reviews.

>>44003743
Taisho x Alice, avoid Amnesia

>>44003743
Get her chou no doku she gonna love it.

>>43996611
Hate all men. There are men out there who have never met you yet have done something to indirectly ruin your life. Men only know how to destroy so it's okay to destroy them.

>>44004028
>Taisho x Alice
>split in 3 games and an epilogue
>each about 8-10 hours to fully complete
>all negative reviews keep complaining about the obnoxious MC and translation quality
Then again after reading up on a lot of games it seems there's always some problem with everything out there. Either the MC is annoying or a damsel that doesn't involve herself enough, translation is shit quality or story too generic. There is no universally liked game. And I have almost 3 hours to make a decision. This is much harder than I thought.
Sell me on Taisho x Alice. Does it have cute romantic moments? How exaggerated are the bad reviews?

>>44004147
Based on what I read on vndb since steam is a bit limited, I think it's exactly what she's into. If it wasn't for the price this might've been the ideal pick. Maybe I'll find a way to pirate it as a backup extra gift for whatever bad choice I'm bound to do. Having H-scenes is a nice addition since she's been complaining that what she's been consuming by now only implies the sexual side.

>>44005077
>H-scenes
Unless she's willing to read in Japanese, there are no h-scenes in the Steam version of Choudoku. Only the original PC game has them and that's never going to be localized. It's still a good game, though.

>>44005077
The Japanese game is good, the English localization is indeed terrible
Of the two you picked, Psychedelica is better. Amnesia is a terrible hot mess, ugly character designs, nonsensical or tropey character writing for most routes and plot twists out of the blue, the list goes on
It’s only worth reading if you insist on reading things for “cultural” or “historic” value

>>44004794
So true

>>44005144
What a shame. Good to know. I'll try to get it as a pirated backup. Maybe pay for it if she likes it and it becomes affordable. Thanks.

>>44005149
I see. Guess I'll wait for the last hour to make a decision. Thanks for the feedback.

>>43996384

>>44003743
>>44005436
I haven't played it myself but I remember a friend recommended this to me because the protagonist is actually worth her salt:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1146970/My_Vow_to_My_Liege/
High quality localizations for otome games in general are rare so just use your best judgement and consider if the content is good enough for your girlfriend. Most EOPs won't care if the translation is bad unless it's totally unreadable.

>>44005736
Chinese theme is a major plus since she really loves chinese dramas. From there I'm not sure. It seems more on the story side over romance focus. I think she might need more games under her belt to appreciate something different. On the other hand if it's that story focused and different in feel I think I'll give it a try myself and see if there are things she might enjoy. And if there are I might consider it for next year.

>>44004794
Well, following this logic…

>>43991279

>>44005450
Any more dyke groomers in otome?

>>44004794
Based Cordelia sis. Cordelia did nothing wrong.

Any otome rec with a Cordelia tier heroine?

>>44007329

>>44007329
Reminds me that I should play that one catboy game with the dyke villain voiced by Sawashiro

How does one cope with the fact that one will never get gang raped by tall muscular anime men? It's too much to bear...

>>44007329
Speaking of dykes how is this?

This one except its anal rape

This one, and then we have lot's of lovey dovey cuddling.

>>44003743
Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly is one of my favourites, but some people did dislike it for having more plot than romance, it's not exactly a typical otoge structure-wise. However, if she's fine with it, it's pretty good, also more story focus (and slightly more linearity) might be a good thing for someone who hasn't played much otome. It's also rather short and has a flowchart.
Amnesia is rather alright, and one of the guys is onii-chan adjacent, but he's just a childhood friend. Might dislike one or two love interests if she's really not into crazy types, also some routes require a walkthrough. I found it alright (although I enjoyed suspence/trying to hide amnesia and what MC was like before memory loss way more than romance), but it's a bit of hit or miss, I heard plenty of complaints about it being boring.
Out of those two, Psychedelica's better pick, though Amnesia used to be a popular beginner choice.

>>44009476
Only read three of their works but I liked 慰愛の詩 the best. ドブ川に散りぬ初恋の was fun but it ended too early. ざくろの事 was kind of boring despite the incest.

>>44011727
This, plus bad ending.

Would this turn you off anons or you'd still interact with them?

>>44013104

lmao
But nope. If they produce content I enjoy that's cool and I won't really shit on them, but making friends? Hahaha fuck no.

>>44013104
No. From past experience and personally dealing with actual/borderline ones, this was always bad news. Those are the real mentally ill misogynists. I haven't met a single one who didn't end up being insanely jealous and petty.

>>43982860
Uuultra C obviously

>>44013104
Maybe, if they like fucked up shit.

>>44014064
They are into self-mutilation and castration so

>>44014082
The difference is if they're in denial or not, you see. If they're actually into extreme bodymods and open about it they're immediately more likeable.

>>44013104
In my experience talking with these people is often like walking on eggshell regarding content, and this comes from a vanillafag. I usually don't talk with them unless it's some super rare shit I can't talk anyone else.

>>44014032
>Those are the real mentally ill misogynists.
Aren't those mostly women?

>>44014668
Trannies and men who basically self insert as women are the biggest mentally ill misogynists around because of incurable jealousy. Lots of other women do the same but I say those can correct themselves once they aren't as insecure and become older.

>>44013104
>tranny pronouns
What do you mean, like xe/xer?

>>44015048
>Trannies and men who basically self insert as women are the biggest mentally ill misogynists around because of incurable jealousy. Lots of other women do the same but I say those can correct themselves once they aren't as insecure and become older.
Most of what you describe are into yuri. You know very well that trannies into BL are 90% women with blue hair and weird pronouns who call themselves "transmasc" or non binary and insist in putting vaginas on men.

>>44014064
There’s youtube channel run by one of these people, that discusses a lot of darker VNs, and their audience is mostly other genderspecials. While it’s nice that they can enjoy darker content without throwing a fit, if you read the comments, their reasons for enjoying that sort of content is always connected to their “queer experience” or whatever, so I wouldn’t even trust them then lmao

>>44015056
These included or women using male ones or they/them.

It is funny when these individuals shit on women being gross for "fetishizing" gay men, because now they are apparently gay men kek. There was this larp post on twitter a religiousfag had written, that yaoi can turn women into trannies. It was hilarious.

Why do you guys obsess over trannies and the pronouns so much

>>44016224
That whole discussion is offtopic shit that shouldn't be here but pretending that trannies and gender ideology isn't literally everywhere these days is just disingenuous.

>>44016331
>but pretending that trannies and gender ideology isn't literally everywhere these days is just disingenuous
I didn’t say that though. Yea it’s everywhere but does that mean it has to be obsessively discussed every time it gets brought up?
Some people in this thread obsess about trannies the same way trannies obsess about their qUeEr ExpErieNce. You guys are free to talk about this off topic shit, at least the thread is alive I guess, but surely you can see the irony here.

Any tranny LIs? Other than the dad in Shitoku

>>44016380
Well I agree but there's so much offtopic discussion from these twitter and reddit rejects here all the time anyway that targeting any topic specifically is pointless.

Aw man, was hoping ざくろの事 was a bit more than that. Probably will just buy it and those ones anyway since doujin games are always really cheap

>>44016428
using a fairly loose definition:
>Rei in Slow Damage
>Koko in Nie no Machi
>Isshiki in Uuultra C

none of them are actual trannies because they either grow out of it or never really went beyond onee/okama

>>44016428
Fraternite one

>yandere is fixated on MC because of her resemblance to another woman
I hate it.

>>44018475
It's been a while since I played it, but he took on the role of his mom for his nutjob dad, including crossdressing and pretending to be a woman didn't he?

>>44024812
He didn't do it willing, also none of that happens on screen in the game, it's mostly referenced backstory. In the game he's presented as an upstanding guy who sleeps around and has amnesia.

>>44026507
Even in the afterlife his joshiryoku is very high though.

>>44027023
Like what? He speaks like a guy, only dress in men clothes. Only feminine thing he does is cooking if you can even cal that. Hisora can't stop creaming himself that he looks like an handsome man.

>>44024698
Yeah it's like cucking.

Games where I can get cucked?

>>44029414

>yandere is fixated on MC because of her resemblance to another man

I need more games like this

i need more otome with psychotic sadistic protagonists

An otome where your teacher grooms you? Innocent ones like tokimeki girls side are fine but darker ones are preferable.

>>44032286
Suregaru

>>44032286
There's this rejet game with teachers bad medicine but I haven't played it much to be able to tell. The heroine goes nuts in some endings and kills some iirc. Or you can try the cds.

>>43910866
>Surprised they picked something so old.

Supposedly they went for it because they got an extremely good deal on the licensing costs. (aka, the voices were very cheap so it's a budget license).

>>44029414
Tokimeki Memorial Girls' Side

Any oldfag here that has played this? Can't trust hinano.

I need someone as based as majima I need to fill that void.

>>44035473
Me.
I don't remember what hinano wrote but liked it, sort of Haruhi but otome game. You have a school club on summer vacation looking for supernatural elements. Very summery and comfy, but has nakige drama. And a cute coodere middle schooler kouhai.

>>44036895
Thanks anon. The kohai and the teacher are the reasons I want to start this and the summer vibes. Talking about nakige I'm weak to sob stories but it's fine I'll handle. Thanks again!
I'll write my impressions here too.

>>44032421
Is the paid version of this the exact same as the free one except oniloli + some additional content?

>>44035473
I really liked this one. The group is pretty fun and relaxing at the same time and imo the cast are likeable enough to care about their respective dramas. Kuudere kouhai and white haired guy are the best.

>>44030218
Technically Shingakkou

>>44041356
i play rn whose route?

Wait...shingakko pedo priest counts as yandere?
And otomefags incestfag of a husband does to?

>>44041378
Don't worry, you have to play everyone else's route and watch him kill himself every time.

>>44041543
I mean dude has been obsessed with Michael since he was a toddler, keeps killing people around him and forces himself on him, superficially acts friendly/loving to him, what yandere characteristic does he lack?

>>44041543
>And otomefags incestfag of a husband does to?
What? Majima? Probably a good chance he offs himself after every route by ODing crack but I wouldn't consider him yandere.

any otome or bl for this feel

Majima is quite the yandere desu. The reason he rushed to off heroines parents was because she was about to get married. In his endings he is ready to off everyone that dares to approach her too. He is more obsessed with her than Shiba even.

Apparently a new AkaAka patch was released a few months ago that adds voices and extra scenes from PSP version. That's very dope.

What are your thoughts on random bl shit in danseimuke things? Does it make you want to consume media you normally wouldn't? I fapped to the butt rape scene in healer revenge but didn't watch the rest.

>>44052344
If I'm watching/reading something for cute girls and get cute boys/BL too it's a nice bonus.

>>44052344
I've played a random nukige for the "boy" route before. It was whatever.

>>44052237
Too bad it doesn't seem compatible with playing in Japanese

>>44050928
Yeah and ever since meeting her he could only get a boner to girls that have similar features as her. Some people probably think that he isn’t because everything he does is for himself but that’s kind of one of the main traits or main points of a yandere. They ultimately do and decide things that benefits them regardless if their love interest agrees to it or not. What separates Majima from the other yans is that he still has his human conscience and guilt (and his boner for revenge), which makes him all the more a complex character. But once he throws all that away, like in the FD, he’s pretty much willing to sacrifice and destroy everything just for the sake of protecting his and Yuriko’s safe space.

>>44052344
Sauce?

>>44052344
i kind of like it, been thinking of reading the コ・コ・ロ trilogy because it has bl and seems like a shitshow, actually

>>44052344
Appreciated but if it leads to nothing I end up more pissed.

Faggots made 3 games, bestboy was side in all 3.

Is it possible to pirate some android otomate ports for free? Do you know any site besides otomedream?

>>44052344
I enjoy it when a very danseimuke artist I know suddenly releases a BL work, like when Sena Youtarou out of the blue released a BL sequel to an old series of his.

>>44056208
No No

Anime soon.

>>44056028
mushoku tensei, I think it's just one throwaway scene and its otherwise a standard harem isekai, no kaworus or ao no fag's there.
>>44056104
first game has every flavor of degeneracy from looking at the cg gallery

Any easy voiced japanese otome/bl recommendations? I’m finally at the point where I can kind of read everyday SoL stuff without much difficulty but I’m just really slow. Thinking about grinding it out a bit here.

>>44062751
Among the BL VN I've read in JP I'd say Nie no Machi was the easiest. It uses a language similar to manga, though if it's your first VN get ready to grind 1m of kanji related to body actions you never see in manga. But it's way easier than some other stuff (like fucking Kintouka with the sun metaphors every 5 lines)

>>44062751
Most otome games aren’t very hard. There might be some specific vocab you’ll have to pick up depending on the setting but they tend to use it over and over so it’s not a huge hurdle. Exception would be anything with an eastern historical setting or really detailed mythology stuff.

>>43962390
It's funny that it took so long despit BL being popular worldwide for longer than that.

>>44013104
I'd block that person immediately.
