Sorry for the offtopic but you guys are my only friends. What do you guys do when you are sad and bishoujo games don't make you more happy?

>>47135356
Walk, jerk off, try reading games I wouldn't usually read

>>47135356
Go and watch my eroge op collection

>>47135399
Can you link it?

>>47135356
Exercise, actually eat food that isn't trash for your health, draw/write/do anything involving creating something. Constant consuming and thinking about things you cannot fix yourself is unproductive and what plebians do.

Lately i've watched some episodes of anime i watched more than a decade ago to remember "the good times"
Also crying and alcohol

>>47135902
>alcohol
is never an answer, got get therapy

>>47136120
Alcohol is trash but so is therapy.

>>47136120
As long as you are not fucking yourself up with it there shouldn't be any problems, and this goes to eroge as well.

>>47135902
Alcohol makes you stupid and older. Who wants that?

>>47136120
>therapy
poison for the body vs. poison for the mind.

>>47136120
you're right, weed is better. It makes you happy by allowing you to interact with your eroge characters through schizoing out.

>>47136309
>schizoing out
So true. You can even see the End Sky.

>>47135356
Get a pet if you can or watch cat videos.

>>47136120
I know that "get therapy" is just a buzzword but anyone that actually tried to get therapy will tell you there's pretty much a 2 year long waiting list because all of society is now fucked in the head.

>>47136734
Thank god we have moege now

>>47136734
You make immediate appointments a lot of places in Burgerland. Not like feeling better is something you can magically happen anyway. Being happy through legitimate means is a harder skill to learn than learning Japanese for eroge.

>>47136902
Learning Japanese for eroge is a legitimate way to become happy though.

>>47136902
>You make immediate appointments a lot of places in Burgerland.
isn't that because in burgerland they just exist to sell you pills?

>>47137100
Those are psychiatrists not therapists but yes, those are pill pushers just like many doctors. You'll probably end up addicted to drugs, homeless and with bills that's enough to fund Ryuugames' entire eroge piracy/Indonesian village if you follow everything they say.

Thoughts on mareni?

>>47137285

Does anyone has a link to Gin'Haru writer's blog that has the after after story to Mizuha's route?

>>47137285
Tolkien fanboy, which is obvious when you read some of his shit. The description of bengara is insane.

Dude I have a lot of other hobbies. Eroge Is not even my main one.
also, I have a couple of friends and a gf too.
The problem with you guys is instead of fixing your life you develop a toxic addictive relationship with eroge using it as a replacement for actual life

>>47137373
リア充 fuck off

any recommendations of eroge with interesting high concept sci-fi ideas?

>>47137353
must indeed be a slog with N3 reading speed

Why happened to sakutoki? It just released one day and everyone forgot about it right that day despite the hype. In contrast, Sakuuta was discussed and shilled as masterpiece for a decade.

https://vndb.org/v36687

D.C. 5 Adult version on September 27th. Interesting choice of seiyuu for Mizuha.

Apparently?
But I haven't read it, so no idea. If anyone here could confirm if it's any good or not, it would be appreciated.

>>47137407
Any reason why they keep releasing all ages version first then release the real version later?

>>47137397
Saihate no ima
Just don't expect a well written story weaved around those ideas
You just read through pages and pages of cool lore in Wikipedia entries after going through hours and hour of SoL and before experiencing a kino climax sequence

Mareni's not focusing on games right now, IIRC he said on twitter his next project is 妖姫のおとむらい２

Meant to reply to
>>47134510

>>47137418
>after going through hours and hour of SoL
you say that like it's bad
that fucking azusa/youko scene was some of the funniest shit ever

What's the appeal of mareni other than prose

>>47137532
How about reading and discovering it?

>>47137402
Scadi was a fucking pussy who didn't give her a route

>>47137532
Iunno but beware of any writer who is only being shilled for their prose skills. Apart from being good at creating atmosphere and writing banter they're terrible at everything else. I bet that's the case with mareni too.

>>47137578
What writers are you talking about?

>>47137344
He's more of a Mervyn Peake fanboy and even went so far as to call the inn in kagerou touryuuki his castle gormenghast a while back on twitter.

>>47137578
>Apart from being good at creating atmosphere and writing banter
this is all i'm looking for from eroge. if i wanted a deep story i'd just read a book.

>>47137610
so what last book have you read with a deep story?

>>47137599
Oh you're right, he's mentioned it a bunch of times.

>>47137599
>>47137619
He's also said he's a huge fan of Izumi Kyouka, and presumably Yamada Bimyou (the guy in his avatar) as well.

>>47137578
Is that a bad thing, though? If you genuinely enjoy reading in Japanese and have properly learned the language, enjoying the prose is what adds into the immersion and makes the experience one of a kind. What's the point learning the language otherwise?

>>47137599
>>47137344
So did he read them in English or poorly translated Japanese?

>>47137610
>if i wanted a deep story i'd just read a book.
Books are just words on a paper. It can be garbage like the book I'm about to finish or it can be good. There's no inherent "deepness" to the medium. Not anymore than VNs.

>>47137667
I remember him tweeting about the books to another writer and mentioning that there isn't a good option to read it in Japanese, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was in english.

>>47137669
It's the culture. VNs are embedded in otaku culture. Girls have to be written in a certain way. Certain political themes shouldn't be explored. Certain types of stories are not allowed. You should adhere to typical VN structure. There are eroge that go against the grain but in general there are a lot of limitations and expectations in general.

>>47137689
>Japanese people
>being fluent enough to read gormenghast
lmao

>>47137689
>our boy is one of "those people"
Oh no no no no...

>>47137715
I mean, eroge is probably the only medium that crosses the line so much thematically.

>>47137720
>>47137723
I was wrong. It was probably some bad translation of it.

>>47137715
If you don't think your typical genre fiction novel isn't subject to similar limitations/trends of its culture in its own way, I don't know what to tell you.

>>47137743
Otaku Culture is worse

>>47137779
Retard.

>>47137344
Best thing about Tolkien is how absurdly detailed the topography descriptions are. You could make 1:1 replicas of most of the scenes in some terrain sandbox engine. Slows the plot down but it's comfy cause you're imagining them travellings as you visualize the terrain

>>47137779
I would not agree. In my experience, storytelling rooted in otaku culture is very broad and has a fairly large sense of freedom. Eroge in particular is allowed to tell several kinds of things that would be hard to believe would be accepted so easily in other cultures.

>>47135356
My go-to method is lifting weights while watching motivational anime OPs while crying.
It works really well, but as a side effect I have now begun to start crying whenever I remember the Kingyo Chuuihou opening song.

The beauty of working out whenever you're sad is that if you don't feel better, you eventually become a sad muscular person, which is kind of like being a protagonist if you don't think about it.

I hope you feel better anon. I'm happy that I'm your friend.

>>47137809
Exactly. I personally enjoyed the descriptions of bengara immensely precisely because of that. Mareni's attention to detail to really try to make you feel part of the scene is amazing.

>>47137817
I think I agree, a lot of even the really vanilla moege that don't explore any socially unacceptable areas sexually often have scenarios, sol scenes, dialogue, and environments you simply can't find elsewhere, especially particular combinations and proportions of those things you cant find elsewhere. My one caveat would be that this overlaps to a huge degree with LNs, but that's basically the same culture

>>47137817
This. Even within otaku culture, it's generally quite interesting how certain works in other media, such as manga, are considered extremely sensitive and the worst thing you can experience in fiction. Then when you read it you realize that people like Ban'ya have written much more gruesome stories.

>>47137817
Your post reminded me of how so many people lost their shit when that one western RPGmaker game with the black-haired siblings had implied incest.
In the world of eroge, that would be just another Tuesday.

>>47137880
that shit is funny because here we are extremely disappointed if incest is NBR

>>47137715
>Girls have to be written in a certain way.
In moege, maybe, but not across all VNs.
There are plenty of VNs where the heroines cheat on the protagonist for example, they're just labeled as NTR.
There are also tons of VNs where the heroines are total sluts, but they're labeled as nukige.
You can write any kind of story you want in a VN and be very successful as long as you don't lie to people about what kind of story it is, and a surprising amount of the time even when you do.

>>47137417
it makes them more money

>>47137843
>My one caveat would be that this overlaps to a huge degree with LNs
I think RPGs also have a surprising amount of storytelling freedom.
At some point I think RPG writers found out that almost nobody plays past the halfway point in RPGs, so as long as you wait until then you can do whatever the fuck you want and nobody will know.
There's an RPG on the DS I like that's rated ESRB E and CERO A and the whole second half of the game is cannibalism and body horror. Surprisingly common occurrence.

Why did Masada write the man who murdered his great-grandparents into his chuunige?

>>47137972
Not only that but he made him cool as hell too.

>>47137972
I always knew that writing talent is inherited
All of the most prominent writers always end up having some notable roots

>>47137955
JRPGs have always explored some pretty fucked up themes. Final Fantasy VI is one of the most famous examples. Overall, one of the things I enjoy the most is definitely genre shift.

>>47137999
Eroge authors are usually so secretive that I find it interesting when you know about their family; Urobuchi's grandfather wrote detective fiction and his great-grandfather was a respected mineralogist.

>>47137407
Goddamn it, now I want to read it

>>47137907
Those genres all have their own tropes and expectations though. No one would care about a more "realistic" heroine like some non-virgin who had sex in a past relationship or two or because of peer pressure even if she didn't actually like or want it. Though I heard there's a LN like that.

>>47137873
like 90% of loliges couldn't exist elsewhere
or maybe they do but i've never seen them talked about i don't think theres anything else in western literature besides lolita which is anti

>>47138368
This isn't in a human language.

>>47138339
I don't remember if I have seen anything similar to something by porori

>>47138401
>>47138339
Porori references a bunch of western literature, some of which has little girls, but romancing/molesting a little girl is probably too socially taboo to get published in the west if there isn't something else going for it. Though there are books with brief mentions of sex with little girls.

>>47137100
This stuff is so infuriating. Honestly most of america's problems in society wash over me without any effect, but anytime I'm reminded of the fact that I was unknowingly drugged all to hell as a child under the pretense of it being normal, it absolutely grinds my gears.

>>47138720
porori games are interesting because they have a somewhat existentialist approach and use the figures of lolis as saviors

>>47137578
mareni is one of the only good eroge writers other than Jackson, Shumon and Masada. why? mtloids can't ever touch them.

Who are you quoting?

>>47139921
>autism
as a negative thing? You have to go back.

>>47139925
What's a "withotu"?

>>47139955
Autism bro....

>>47139963
You have to delusional to consider autism positive. No one likes autists. Not even those with autism.

>>47139928
Same. For chuunige that's good enough, just reading it invokes a feeling close to sexual pleasure. That feeling from a great chuunige is much better than sex.

>>47139970
But mentioning it as a "weird" or unusual thing on here means he has to go back.

>>47139983

Read more bishoujo games and power through it.
If you can't find happiness in moege anymore, maybe it's time to punch your own ticket.

>>47140223
Funny that I also thought about posting it.

Unironically though, I think this was one of the better short nukiges I read.
The game is carried hard by the seiyuu and by the art.
I liked small details, like breasts having a "juggling" state in several CGs and even on the standing sprite to look like a short animation.
I guess Coq feels more at home when drawing something like this, compared to his moege works.
And despite Ayano turning into a マゾ女 way too fast, it still made me feel things.
Maybe I'm just too soft and emotional for these kind of plots. I come for the depravity aspect, but end up caring about characters and feeling bad about them.

>>47140721
>The game is carried hard by the seiyuu and by the art.
>Ayano turning into a マゾ女 way too fast
Agreed on both counts. It's quite good, especially for a first project from a very small studio, but with a couple of script tweaks and maybe making it a little longer and her corruption a little slower it could've been great.

Does anyone have a link to Shady Trial 日陰サバイバン(https://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ244256.html))
Apparently one anon posted a link back in 2020 (>>/jp/image/sIlR+uqKR3UGSzZJqyKOcg)) but that link is long dead and I can't find it anywhere else.

>>47140344
Nta, but toneworksanon convinced me in the previous thread to read her game. I'm not much of a moege fan, but it's been a while since I've read something just because I like a character's design. We all need something comfy from time to time I guess.

>>47141046
sometimes all you need is to just look for a heroine that looks cute and just go read the game without overthinking it

>>47141076
I remember doing that with aya from hatsuyuki sakura. She did not disappoint at all, an absolute goddess.

Never going to make it as a true otaku. It should tell you something that very few people in Japan have interest in it and that it is a nearly unheard topic in Japanese media.
Kind of comparable to another thing (starting with the 20th and 18th letters of the alphabet) but it's a whole different can of worms.

What's the Snow Radish Vacation literature equivalent?

>>47137407
Are they going to add H-scenes with Oikawa Tougo to be suitable for a modern and global audience?

Either way, looks like the OST is in good hands.

>>47144038
Natively? I think so, but iirc all hooksoft games have 1440p assets in their files.

>>47144096

>>47144096
>>47144104
>1440p assets
Funny since sprite has been using the same engine and has done 1080p and even 4K (or maybe that was unity) years before.

>>47144155
You're joking, right?

>>47144132
The future of a -light-less chuunige realm is bleak. I had to turn to LNs to get my fix.

>>47144193
no way ln can deliver anything comparably serious that wouldn't be just another shounen copypast

Which writer do you guys think understands the medium most?

>>47144224
scaji

>>47144224
Scadi is one of those who probably understands it the most. That's precisely why he mentioned that the success or failure of yuzusoft is a good way to understand the current state of the industry. I don't remember if anyone else was advertising tenshi so much on their twitter.

>>47144095

Is sunrise adaptation good enough?

>>47144333
Not explicitly, but he has writer's block and said he would stop writing altogether if he took a long break. Aditya would already be done if he wrote at the same speed as Avesta, but Aditya is midway through and it took 3x more time than Avesta to get there.
He is having a hard time writing Aditya, and did not release a single Aditya ln yet bc he probably needs to rewrite some parts.
They might do a Aditya vn, but it's a goddamn long way ahead, if it happens.

>Decide to finally give any yuzusoft game a try

I'll probably get shat on for this.
But I guess now I understand the sentiment of that anon who doesn't want to play Amakano because heroines look "too old" for him.

>>47144960
How does Yuzusoft character design look any more moe than the average VN?

>>47144960
Are you sure moe is the word you are looking for here? how does tenshi look any different from cafe stella?

>>47144967
I'm aware that this kind of character design is common and popular among moege otaku.
But I think it was way more common and popular in the past.
And I'm not saying it's ugly or anything.
It's just that most of the girls with routes looks like JCs, lolis and oppai lolis in my eyes.
>>47145093
Maybe it's because of characters' proportions?
I don't want to break everything down to "limbs longer, heads bigger", but I hope I'm not the only one who thinks they have a noticeable difference.

I'm sure I can look past that if I start reading and come to enjoy the writing (and everything else), though.

>>47145326
Their designs just follow whatever is trendy at the time. I'm not shitting on yuzusoft artists, but the art is not particularly remarkable or standout worthy in the since of "this artist clearly has a distinct, recognizable style".

>>47144960
>every other game looks too "moe" for me

So I picked up Bishoujo Mangekyou 4 (there's probably a play order but I like blondes and crossdressing)

This might be the hottest game of all time. Loads of teasing and so far the first two ero scenes are shame fueled twincest fantasy femboy masturbation sessions[/spoilers] I can *feel* it ruining other eroge for me as I read it

Also I read The Catcher in the Rye like two days before picking it up so the narration namedropping Holden Caulfield in the first ten minutes jumpscared me

>>47145499
Related to the Baldr Heart OP. Ginpatsu true heroine? Automatic kamige.

Anyone here play the Yakin Byoutou remake? I gave it a quick look on the Panda and I see the CGs have like a page full of gif-style videos and animations, can you turn those off? A kamige artist like Metawo doesn't need to be juiced up.


Also, found out Bubuzuke helped with the CG work for Elven King which makes me happy. I realized bro drew an alraune with no ears.

The modern trend is more like the right with more mature proportions but for some reason eroge have held on to a more 2000s moe style all this time with just slight updates to make them look a bit more modern. It's interesting to see how much they can differ from mainstream otaku content.

/jp/ I am disappoint.

So hopefully next year we get an announcement, but:
>Saiminjutsu 2 July 2007
>Ura Saiminjutsu 2 2008
>Kuronijibon 2 2010/2011

This was before the staff departed for Fudegaki Soft, I think Black Rainbow had someone with bigger pockets bankrolling them. But Fudegaki soft;

>Saiminjutsu 3 March 2013
>Saiminjutsu 4 March 2019

It was 6 years between 3 and 4, and it in March 2025, it will have been 6 years again on the dot. I dont really care if it's in March,but if they don't announce a new game in 2025 I'm gonna be sad and mad. Now that Lune killed Kyonyuu Saimin with their incompetence the old school original is all I've got to look foward to to truly scratch my mind control/hypno itch.

I'm ready for Saiminjutsu 5.

>>47146174
you don't like bishop?

>>47146204
Never played them, but I don't think it will scratch my itch. All the games Yoshino Keiko and Natori Ika do apart aren't as good as when they work together. Heck I saw these 2 games by Lust Bit, and while they aren't as good art wise, they do have some OK parts, especially the second game.

It has a scene with the reformed-slut wife,that you have once again made into your personal slut, getting slapped on the ass tied up with vibes and dildos in both holes until she agrees to sign divorce papers. Yeah that was pretty hot.

I dunno, what are some good bishop games to look at?

>>47146332
>I dunno, what are some good bishop games to look at?
I've played a little of the new one and it's alright. The gimmick is that the protagonist can control chi meridians or whatever and basically make girls horny against their will. It's not quite mind control or hypnotism, but it's sorta close I guess. Every girl deals with it in a slightly different way, too, and the protagonist has to blackmail them in slightly different ways to keep them under control, which I appreciated.
I haven't played much of Bishop's back catalog but there's probably some straight up mind control titles in there somewhere.

>>47146516
Only chose pink because her design was cuter. Honestly really fucking hated this game. Santa's art is the only appeal. Denpa is such trash, man.

>>47146516

I'm interested in reading his better known games but I want to get a good idea of his writing style first.

>>47147426
Funny how they dedicated a whole series to that

>>47148391
I never read it myself, but that series is very referential to his other games, so I'd assume not.

>>47146516
The part where MC gets cucked and still decides to go for sloppy seconds while the other girl was hiding under the bed blasted my sides into orbit

So is Windows 10 the minimal OS for reading ge in a VM? I want to be able to read every new game, and possibly even use Ste*m.

As a giga-donkan autismbro who's failed in everything in life, I hate and am very afraid of even failing in my escapism, so I never play without guides.

>>47151802
But you can never fail in games? Games are designed so that you can win them. You have the ability to travel parallel worlds and rewind time in every single game you play.

>>47152162
This.
I personally try to never play with guides because I don't want to get spoiled.
And I generally avoid playing games that are unbeatable without a guide.
Besides, real life is already a huge kusoge where you can't reload and following guides doesn't guarantee any success.

>>47145499
Thanks for making me realise I can't care less about the hair color, having spent like 15 minutes trying to remember any of them and then immediately disregard in favor of the better girl(s) in their games. This is the closest I could come up with.
Saki from M*L is whiter though (and a popular GF is always great), but I have a soft spot for musicians, piano/violin players in particular.

>>47135356
if your body gets stronger your mind does to, walk in nature, breath fresh air, exercise, eat fruits, vegetables and meat
get enough sleep, if you don't get enough sleep all the above are worthless, preferably sleep early and wake up early, morning fresh air energizes you
hygiene is also important, keep yourself and your room clean
and as others said creative activities give you a sense of accomplishment and improve your mood

>>47152273
>and a popular GF is always great
What about the anxiety of all the eyes going to you?

>>47152162
I don't want to experience failure even one more time, even if I can fix it.

>>47149955
I played this without a guide and got cucked out of the last H-scene, which you only get if you don't use any hints.

>>47153323
What anxiety? That's the fuel. Besides, the guys would be busy simping for the joshiana (like the male half of Japan does in her game - as opposed to just the university in S*S) and I've been dealing with the girls' eyes my entire life anyway.
Also, here's another colorless adorable, Asa Pro's this time.

Speaking of ASa Project, Puramai Wars has been in my backlog forever, might as well see today if its white-haired titty monster is fixable into a decent human being with enough dicking. If I find a good download, that is.

>>47153489
>and I've been dealing with the girls' eyes my entire life anyway

Wow, rude.

>>47154598
Now I'm curious if there are any eroge where a girl changes her behavior during her route (and it stays like that)?

>>47154686
Yuzuyu from Fureraba

>>47154686
Pretty much any heroine who has a strong personality will become some variation of boring passive wallflower in her own route (somebody please prove me wrong)

>>47154686
Every classic tsundere?

>>47154761
I'm personally a fan of the reverse: the passive meek girl becoming assertive and aggressive.

>>47154787
Examples?

I hate this demon king in tenshi souzou. Like I despise his character. I despise the way he talks. I despise his absurd power. And I never supported this mining country anyway. Why this game forces me to think they're the good guys?

Nice. Lately I've been reading shit so niche that I've had to go so far as to pay for some commissions.

>>47155366

>>47155372
Unironically it might be worth to learn drawing. Though unfortunately only an extremely small portion of people in the west manage to make anything that can "pass" as Japanese/true moe without noticeable flaws. Interestingly enough even China and Pepsi Korea have more artists that are able to do that.

>>47155441
It's probably easier than learning japanese if you're really dedicated to it, but honestly my artistic skills suck. I don't have any confidence in that aspect at all, so I just enjoy my eroge and tell really talented people to do what I want.

>>47155441
>Interestingly enough even China and Pepsi Korea have more artists that are able to do that
It's a cultural thing. East Asian countries are more about conformism and doing things the right way, while in the West it's seen as "based" to try to be overly "original"/"innovative" while sacrificing actual quality/beauty. It's especially harmful in the case of moe art because cuteness is based on strict biological factors.

>>47155480
>It's probably easier than learning japanese
I'd say it's the other way, language learning is a natural part of our brains and we all did it as babies and toddlers. If you learn Japanese by reading eroge, watching anime, etc then it's very easy, but if you fell for memes like "drilling" kanji or doing Anki then I can see your point.

>>47155480
>>47155498
It's definitely easier to learn Japanese like this anon says. We're all wired for language but not everyone has the kind of mind that makes it easy to learn how to draw.

>>47155498
I learned with manga and anime, but that's irrelevant, I'm not going to question other people's learning methods either, because that's off-topic.
More importantly, here what I'm going to read now.

>>47155275
looks better than the actual game

>>47155484
There are plenty of Westerner artists who draw moe. Though, most of them happen to be Asian. That sense for cuteness is just genetic where every other race seems to fail at.

Are there any games that are focused on otaku culture and a group of otaku friends? Basically like the "Slice of Life" parts of Steins;Gate.

>>47156135

At least we can still have loli and teenage heroines etc as long as there's a disclaimer saying that they're ACKCHYUALLY over 18. Much better than if this stuff was banned altogether with no workaround like in many westoid countries.

>>47158481
Nah. But if this bothers you stay away from loli manga. For some reason commercial eroge have to censor ages under 18 but commercial eromanga can say the heroines are 7 years old without any problems.

>>47162172
he was right though
that guy was a complete faggot

>>47162172
Scaji is a true absurdist writer and the successor of Camus' legacy, he embodies the absurd man by embracing the unknowable and utterly incomprehensible state of the universe and while holding eudaimonia in one hand submerses the other in 煩悩, the Don Juan of getting into meaningless arguments on twitter, to move beyond the unnatural state of living without purpose to the natural state of living without needing purpose.
Maeda Jun also does this but he doesn't recognize the absurd so he's just a regular whiny bitch on twitter.

>>47162212
By "he" and "that guy" you mean the rando who criticized Suba and Sca-Ji respectively, right?

Why Every Japan Missionary Should Read Sakura No Uta.
Is that title too sensational? Probably, but lately I have felt it to be true, so if you want to disagree, you’ll have to actually read the thing and tell me why I’m wrong.
“Oh but it’s in Japanese.” Well, yeah, and I don’t really see an English translation doing justice to ’s genius prose, so you better read it in Japanese.
If you can’t commit to learning the language, I’m not sure what you’re doing as a missionary in Japan.
“Oh, but it has porn scenes.” Fine, then skip them. It’s not that hard, and it’s not like I’m telling you to read Subarashiki Hibi instead where the porn is actually important.
If a little porn is going to scare you away, then again, why are you in Japan of all countries? Walk into a conbini and you will see shelves of gravure every time.
“Oh, but it’s so long.” Welcome to the world of visual novels. If you can’t invest a simple 50 hours into reading what is the most philosophically heavy story that has hit the otaku market in years, then
I will take that to mean that you have zero interest or intention of ministering to the otaku subculture. And while that’s possibly true of a lot of missionaries on a surface level, you probably don’t realize how much that sub-population is growing in Japan. If you’re a missionary in Japan, chances are you’ve met some closet otaku. It’s too bad your impression of them is so wrong. Maybe if you actually read musicus, you would have a better understanding of the people around you.

>>47162267
Who on Earth are you talking to?

>>47162244
i would believe you if he didn't end up completely ruining sakutoki
now i'm convinced that twitter just ended up destroying his soul and turned him into 凡人
