Hello! Welcome back to a new post! As the title of the post says, this is an Update post. Though real quick I would like to mention how sorry I am for not posting last week. There was a few things going on and I couldn't post, so I'm sorry.
On another note though I would like to say that a few weeks ago I mentioned how I was going to update my whole blog design and everything and obviously that didn't happen. I also want to say, that as much as I love this blog. I don't really have inspiration or desire to continue it. I've been doing this blog continuously for almost three years. Honestly I think I more just continue to do it since I feel like I have a right/obligation to it. I don't know when I started to feel this way but, I feel like I should now tell you guys about it.
A part of me though still wants to write blog posts and continue it. Like I don't want to let it go. I also know that a big problem with my blog is how plain and boring my posts must be. I don't add pictures or anything and I also really want to change things about my posts and I can and plan on doing so. I thought of all of this for a long time, it's just I guess I felt lazy to do so honestly. Especially since I don't get encouragement on my blog from anyone and I have like little to no views every week. So I'm sorry for the people who stumble on my blog or wait for a new post every week.
But I think I'm going to start a new blog somewhere else, like wordpress. It will still be about otome games, since I still love and play them dearly and a lot. I just lost some passion on writing blog posts about them here. Also since when I started blogging I only knew about blogger but I'd rather go to wordpress and I've been thinking about this for two years. I've just decided to stick with what I have.
So I may or may not continue posting here until my Wordpress blog is ready and I write some decent posts. Though I've also been busy lately so it might be awhile, or you might see a post next week. Please look forward to it though.
Also I do feel happy about some blog posts I did during this time. Like I deeply love all of my Utapri posts and all of the posts I felt passionate about, though sometimes I feel that a weeks posts is just like, something I have to post for that week. Though, please understand. And thank you. I hope to talk to you all very soon!

Time For Fresh Baked Snacks! +Official Otome Translations
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I will be talking about official otome game translations. Though expect this to be a short post, that I may write more about in another post if I don't feel satisfied with it enough. But here we go~! (Either way though, aren't these translations posts just the gist of it all anyways?)
Like with most unofficial translations, official ones tend to have a group of people working on translating a game. Though unlike with unofficial translation projects, official ones tend to be an actual job that they actually get paid for. This also leads to them getting done with in a few months to a year. They get done much quicker.
You also have to pay for these ones obviously, as like I said, this is a job for people. Not only that but it's official which means the company who made the game gave them the licence to do this. So this could get bought physically and could be downloaded on sites like Steam, etc. This also makes them less risky, since you know it's all official, etc.
I think this will be all for this post though. I've been quite busy lately, so that's why these last two posts have been a bit shorter than normal, though I hope to get back on track soon! Though please comment down below what you think about Official otome game translations, and I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Roll Out The Works! +Unofficial Otome Translations
Hello! Welcome back to another post! In the last post I talked about a translation group and how they finished translating the game they were working on. So for this post I'll be talking about translations once again, and this may or may not turn into a three part thing. Though for this post I would like to talk about Unofficial translation projects (game translations).
Honestly when it comes to this kind it takes a lot longer. Mostly because the people who are translating this and doing this for us tend to be doing this for free and in their own time. They have lifes of their own and things pop up. Sometimes/most of the time the project ends up being unfinished/canceled. So sometimes they will only translate one route in an game before quitting, but sometimes they do fully translate it. It just takes awhile as I said.
Not only that but I bet that if they don't get some form of encouragement, then it makes them want to work on it even less. Even if they choose to do this because it's something they love and want to share with more people by doing this. So with these types you have to be patient with. Not only that but unlike official translation, you have to download them in a way the could be quite confusing if you have no idea what to do.
Not only that but sometimes it could be quite scary as well, though I guess it depends on you. Also sometimes you need to actually own the game then install the translations they made and somehow put it into the game.
Though I would also say that this would obviously say that it would kinda take loner and be a bit harder compared to a company doing this. But atlas this is all for this post. Please comment on what you think down below! For now, I'll talk to you guys later!

Initialized Cupcakes! +Translation Projects +Anniversary no Kuni no Alice
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I'll be talking about translation projects. Though before that I would like to mention that "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk" for PS Vita came out this week! You can get this game on Amazon or Gamestop and I'll provide links to them down below. Now though let's get onto the main part of this post.
I'm going to be talking about translation projects, though not necessarily projects themselves? I'll be focusing myself onto one group and one game as of right now. (Though I will bring this topic back to talk about a few other factors.) There is a group of translators called Marchen Translations. Today they finally posted the final/full patch of "Anniversary no Kuni no Alice"! They've been working on this game for quite a long time and the finally have it completed today! I'll give the link down below to the website and the page of the final patch.
Though last year I talked about this group and about this series. It's an "Alice in Wonderland" themed otome game. I knew this game in the past before I even knew about this translation project and last summer I installed it. This was my first unofficial otome game that I downloaded. At first I was even thinking about waiting for the full patch since I was planning on playing it once it finished anyways. But I downloaded it anyways and now I can finally play it now that the full patch is out!
I'm also excited about it since I always wanted to play one of these games ever since I knew about it! I had the app (and still do) of the first and only officially translated game of the series (it was the first game as well). Though Quinrose went bankrupt before I could buy any of the routes. So I'm happy to have this opportunity to me again! Also, "Anniversary no Kuni no Alice" is just a remade version of the first "Heart no Kuni no Alice" game (so the first game in the series). Also this seems to be the best version, which is probably why they choose to translate this one instead of the very first one or the other one. (They made quite a few remakes of the first game.)
Anyways, I'll be ending this post here! Please check out the project and hopefully download it and play it! It's completely free and I highly recommend it! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Celebrate! +Uta no Prince-Sama 8th Year Anniversary!
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This post today is completely dedicated to the "Uta no Prince-Sama" series! You may ask why if you haven't read the title. But today June 24th. Marks "Uta no Prince-Sama"s 8th Year Anniversary! Back in 2010 the first Utapri game got released, and man has it evolved!
Even though this is my second year being into Utapri, it has definitely made a huge impact on me. I love the series and all of the characters to death! I have either made or mentioned Utapri quite a bit in some of my blog posts. Sometimes I even talk about upcoming things that are going on for them! Though I do really want all of you who read my blog to know how much I truly enjoy and love Utapri!
In fact I don't think I really spoke of this on my blog, but I write fanfictions on Wattpad as well. Though it's only one fanfiction book and it's for Utapri. It's a oneshot book, but I really enjoy writing and since I read so much Utapri fanfictions I gave it my go. I honestly don't think I'll write any fanfictions for any other series or fandom besides Utapri.
Honestly I have so many feelings for Utapri that it's just hard to put into words sometimes. I just want to thank Broccoli and Agematsu and everyone who helped made Utapri and of course the fanbase for making it so huge and important! I will continue my Utapri journey for forever it seems. Though I'm happy with that and I will always support and cherish them. I'm also pretty sure there is so many other things that I want to say, but this is all I can think of in my mess of overflowing feelings for this series.
Thank you all for reading this and I'll talk to you all, next time.
~~Happy 8th Year Anniversary Utapri!~~
~~Let's Continue This Journey Together Forever!~~

A Randomized Recommendation! +Varieties
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I will be talking about having variety in your otome life. Since normally we always have a favorite stereotype and genre and everything in between. Though it's also nice to choose and go with different things sometimes as well. Though I would have to say that I guess it is more based on reluctantness towards things. Due to the fact that most of us otome players just play everything that we can get our hands on. Though we do get pumped up about things were attracted to/like.
So practically I guess it is more on reluctance. Though sometimes that can also lead you to not play a game as well. Obviously though if you play a game and quit it because you truly disliked it and it didn't live up then that is honestly fine. It's more like at least you tried it. That's more like what I'm talking about in a way. So just try new things when you can I guess is what I'm getting at?
Even though I finished up the main part of the blog in practically two small parts. I would like to say that, I may or may not be updating the WHOLE blog. I want to add and change a few things, and once you see it change then expect me to write a post about everything for it! I've been thinking about doing this for quite some time now, but I've been to busy. So hopefully this will be put into effect either this week or these few weeks to come!
So make sure to keep your eyes out and open for it! Also if you would like any changes in fonts or something that I use then please say so! (I'm planning on changing them anyways.) On another note though, I'll talk to you guys later!

No Sort of Favorite Dessert! +Having No Favorites
Hello! Welcome back to another post! I do want to quickly mention that Natsuki Shinomiya and Syo Kurusu's birthday was yesterday! So happy (belated) birthday to them~! (As well as Kaoru & Satsuki~!) Another quick thing I want to mention is that for a few weeks now I have "Search This Blog" gadget now! So if you want to search for a certain game or talk then you can now search the keyword(s) in instead of going through all of my years and months trying to find what you are looking for. It is a better and easier way as all the posts of me mentioning it or talking about it will all appear there for you. So use it as you please!
Now onto the main topic! In this post I'll be talking about how I just don't really have any favorites in characters or games. Now obviously I'm not going to lie that I may feel more attracted to certain characters or may like one a bit better. But I can never say that I have any favorites. I thought about it and really tried to think as to why. In the end I only came up with one thing.
This is being that there is no reason for me to not like them or really anything of the sort. Normally in otome games I tend to like every route I play for the most part in some way or another. So as long as I like it to some length then they are fine and lovable in my book.
There are probably other reasons that I'm just probably oblivious to. Though it's also kinda hard for me to put into words, it's just this feeling I guess? I just don't find a reason to have a favorite? Though not having a favorite or favorites does make it hard in some/certain fandoms. Though for me it's easy to get over since it makes me happy to love all equally. Personally speaking though I do hope that some other people feel the same way I do. I would also love to hear who your favorites are in some games and how you feel about having favorites or not. Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

What's A Sweet You're Addicted To? +Obsessions!
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I start off this post I would like to mention that a otome company called SEPTENI CROSSGATE CO.,LTD. is release a otome game in English called "Wiz;Alice"! Down below I'll have a link to the website, but it's another "Alice in Wonderland" themed game! Honestly this makes me extremely happy since I love this sort of theme a lot! It also includes voice acting as well! I don't know if it is partial or not, though so far it seems like it is full. Also apparently there will also be English voices as well beside from their Japanese ones. Though I have no idea if you can choose if you which voice you want. Though I'm happy about this and am excited for its release! (Note that this game will also be out on mobile! Both Google Play and App Store!)
Talking about how much I love "Alice in Wonderland" though, this is the perfect way to open about what I'll be talking about in this post! Obsessions! More like otome obsessions though, to go with the blog of course. What I also mean by this is that normally you have things in otome games that you can never get tired of/stop loving right? Or something that instantly attracts you to a character no matter how many times you see it in an otome game. Like how something I never get tired of and instantly attracts me to otome games are the "Alice in Wonderland" theme/base of the game. I talk about "Alice in Wonderland" multiple times before on this blog, so if you read my blog often then you will know how much I love it. (Honestly I should just make a blog post of every "Alice in Wonderland" otome thing I know. Actually wait, I'll do that.)
Though I find it also obvious if you look at the theme/background of my blog page. I'm just saying that everyone has something that they love and obsess over in otome games. It could be a certain stereotype or theme, or an odd habit as well. It all just depends on you as the player/reader. So I would love to know one thing that you obsess over in otome games! I gave you one of mind, also without any shame. With this I bid you all farewell, and I'll talk to you guys later!

Newly Added Library! +Otome App Libraries!
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I start off this post I would like to say that "7'scarlet" came out this week on the PSVita! And tomorrow Cybird's "Ikemen Revolution: Love & Magic in Wonderland" will come out! On another note I don't really have time for part 2 of that post of music that reminds me of otome games and routes. So who knows when I'll do it. Though this post is about mobile otome game companies. Since it seems that every company seems to be getting a library app for all of their games.
Now if you are wondering what they possibly are, then practically it is like Voltage's "Love 365: Find Your Story" app. They are app that have all of their games into one. So you have to make sure to transfer your games over into the single app. Even NTT Solmare seems to be getting/making one now. Even OKKO has one now. (Though I can't get it cause it's not compatible with my device, though I should check again.) I heard that companies are doing this since there seems to be this problem with itunes I think about them having either spam apps or something? (Do to them having multiples of the same type of game but in multiple languages.) So this is the whole reason for it.
Personally speaking though I'm not really a big fan of these types of apps and I prefer to stay with the standalones. Though I have no choice with Voltage since the standalones will be taken off once every game is on their Love 365 app. The whole reason for this is due to the fact that it no longer as the same unique set up that the stand alone has. Now it's all just like the library app color/design. Like when you open up a standalone you get to see its style and its own unique design. Though with library apps it loses that and just looks like the library app and the uniqueness is gone. Honestly I may be feeling over strongly or over sensitive about it but it really means a lot to me. Like it makes me be focused on just that app and story and really helps me immerse myself in it.
Though luckily someone who is a beta tester for NTT Solmare's library app showed what it is like and they keep that in it for each app! The only difference is that it has a added button to the menus so you can go back to the front/rest of your apps within the library app. So I'm app about that one at least! I also know that library apps help with storage and everything, so I guess that's a plus. Though this is all I have the time for in this post! Please comment down below about you guys think about these new library apps! With that I'll talk to you guys later!

A Continued Event! +Character Songs (Pt. 2)
Hello! Welcome back to another post and also the last part of the character songs post! (Honestly ended up switching the order a bit.) Though in part one of this I ended it saying that I wasn't fully satisfied with it. I more or less in the last post just explained what character songs are and how I got into them. (Which was through "Diabolik Lovers".) I would talk about my favorite character songs as well, but I honestly don't have any. Though I guess favorite character songs could also be your favorite character's own song as well, but personally I have no favorites.
Though I will say that I don't really go a search for character songs if I'm bored or something. Normally I only search for character songs after I either played the game or watched the anime. (I don't really like going to character songs that I know nothing about game and/or character.) That's when I go and search for their songs to see if they have any, and most otome games at least have one for each character (that you can romance).
(Also I'm not talking about mobile games or games like that, though Voltage Inc kinda has something like this. If you complete both endings in some games (I think it may only be in "Scandal in the Spotlight", though correct me if I'm wrong) then there is this short song for that guy that you bought the route for and finished both endings. (They also give you an option to just spend a few dollars to get it right away if you're to lazy to do both endings or whatever.)(Also, it's like this video with the song as well.))
With character songs I also try to find translations for them as well, since I like to know what I'm listening too. Also since the lyrics also explain and describe the character and sometimes their route as well. (Though this depends obviously, though most are like this.) So I feel like it would be useless to me to listen to a character song without reading the translations with it.
This will be the end of this post. I now feel satisfied about this topic, which closes it for now. For now though I'll talk to you guys later!

Hello! +Update
Hello! Welcome back to another post! I don't really have enough time to write out a full post for this week, so I decided to write about upcoming blog posts that I'll be posting (hopefully) in these weeks to come. So here they are! (Mostly in order, though it may change.)
-Music That Reminds You of Otome Games & Routes (Pt.2)
-Character Songs (Pt.2)
-Otome Library Apps
These are posts that I'm planning on making and uploading in these weeks to come! Please look forward to them and I'm sorry for the short/notice post, but it's better than posting nothing, and I would hate to not post at least something. With this I'll talk to yo guys later!

A Singing Event! +Character Songs (Pt. 1)
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This post is all about character songs! Honestly one of the reasons why I'm pushing off part two to the other post is because I'm on short time currently. (So this post may be a bit shorter.) So hopefully that one will be ready for next week! Though in my last post I did want to talk about Character songs again, so here we go!
For people who don't know what character songs are then basically they are songs that are sung by the characters in an otome game (/anime if the otome game has an anime). I'm pretty sure that for the people who've read my other musical post, then you should know by now how much I adore music. This makes me of course love character songs. Especially if I know the anime or have played the game or both. I mentioned this in another post, possibly the first post I talked about this on. But my first character song was "Kirisaki Carnival" sung by Kanato Sakamaki ("Diabolik Lovers" series.). From there it was all of the other Diabolik Lovers character songs. I don't really/fully remeber how I even stumbled upon it, but I do love it with all of my heart.
Though I would say that it probably had something to do with my huge "Diabolik Lovers" obsession I had back then. I just really know that I found it on YouTube in the morning and listened to it with English Subs. So I was probably searching for "Diabolik Lovers" videos that day. This is all the time I have for this post. Honestly I'm not fully satisfied with how much/what I talked about in this post, so this is part one! (Haha, sorry.) Though I would enjoy to hear how you first got into Character songs! For now though I'll talk to you guys later!

The Cafe's Playlist! +Music That Reminds You of Otome Games & Routes (Pt. 1)
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I would like to talk about songs that aren't in otome games or made for them. Instead I'll be talking about songs that you here on everyday radio. In more detail, then songs that remind you of an otome game or a certain character. Even when you are listening to a song sometimes you just end up thinking about a certain character or game even if you don't mean too. On this blog I have talked about otome songs, background music, etc, but this time I'm not talking about the music in an otome game. (Though I still would like to revisit the topic of character songs, so expect a blog like that at some point.)This time I am talking about the music you hear in everyday life, but some or all of the lyrics make you think about a certain game or character.
Of course people can also feel and think this way with multiple things, but since this is an otome blog for the most part. Then that is what we will be talking about. But I really enjoy talking about music so yet again, here is another music post. So let's get into it!
Since I'm such an otome gamer and music fanatic, then of course I would have a character or game linked to almost every song on my playlist or at least most of them. Not even all the songs I listen too are based off of just one game or character. It could be multiple. Like for instance if I listen to a song that I found or started listening to a lot when I first got into otome games, then of course it would give me a nostalgic feeling. (Which it does.) Since a song that you listen to could also link to a memory or moment in your life or connect deeply to you. In my next post at the moment I'm planning on making it a post based off of songs that make me think of a certain character or game, then connect the lyrics to them/it.
So, I guess you can say that this was more of an introduction post than anything, but I hope it got you thinking as well and maybe you will go back and listen to some songs that may give you a feeling of a character or game. So for my next post I will be asking about what songs make you think about a character or game? (Even if the lyrics don't really fit with them, it could also be the feeling or idea of the song as well!) So for now, I'll talk you guys later!

Let's Continue From Where We Left Off! +Real Time Otome Games (Pt. 2)
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Surprisingly I actually decided to do a part two on this topic right away! In my last post I mentioned how I'm mostly talking about games like "Mystic Messenger" by Cheritz. Though in my last post I mostly talked about and summed it up about their new game that will be coming out called "The Ssum". Honestly I didn't even mean to talk about that game for the whole/most of the post. Though I will be summing up this topic in this post. In this post I will want to talk more about these types of games and more or less the idea of it. I would also like to mention about how you guys would feel if your favorite game ended up having a separate side game with this type of system.
Though one thing at a time. So I'll be starting this off with the idea/system of it. Honestly I actually really enjoy this. It makes the characters seem more realistic to me, even though we have to choose what we say and can't type what we can say. (Though I don't know for "The Ssum", since that is like just you and him, so we will see once the game comes out.) I enjoy the chatroom type of story/system as well. Because it's like I said, it seems more realistic, I don't really see it a lot, and I would like to say that it also makes me feel like I'm more in the story. Not only that but also since there are still some visual novel scenes and you end up with the character in the end if you choose right, then that still makes it known as an otome and still makes it enjoyable and more connected to the story. Something I also like is your private text messages with each other.
Though another thing I wanted to mention was, how would you react if your favorite game did this as a side game/thing? Honestly since it's just a thought, you don't really have to think about it that seriously. Though I feel like it would be quite interesting. Even if you aren't in it, but you are able to read the conversations in a group chat with all of the main characters/any characters from the game then that would be pretty cool and entertaining. Or maybe a chatroom for side characters, then one for the main ones. Or maybe you could even choose who's in each chatroom. Also you may be able to read their texts through each other off of the group chat? Though this is all an idea, though it would still be a fun thing to see.
For now though I'll end this post here. How do you feel about the idea of something side like, like this for one of your favorite games? Also how do you just feel like this overall? So for now, I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Talk About The Present Situation! +Real Time Otome Games (Pt. 1)
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I will be talking about real time otome games! More or less for people to get a gist of what I'm talking about then games like "Mystic Messenger". I mostly want to talk about this topic since Cheritz will be releasing a new game for IOS and Android called "The Ssum". It's like "Mystic Messenger" but also not, since it's more just you and goes off of your schedule and everything. (Check out the link below to the homepage for it to find out more.)
But I want to talk about this topic since I would like to know other people's thoughts on this a bit more. I personally think it's a cool idea and I'm actually quite excited to play this! The only problem more or less is playing it everyday and that it's technically endless. Though if I get hooked on it then I'll for sure play it everyday (I mean I login and play "Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live" everyday since the day it got released in English so I have faith in myself), but I guess I'll just have to wait and see what will happen.
Though I personally feel like this is something that I will get into heavily. Like I'll be quite hooked on it. I'm always down for some more interaction and story. Also since I loved how "Mystic Messenger" was and how you played it, since to me that was extremely fun (system wise) and yet also not good for anxiety. I still enjoyed it a whole bunch. I like the texting features and since this game seems to be based off of your schedule, then that will help with a whole lot of other things as well!
So I can't wait for this game to come out and for us all to start playing it! Though please comment down below your feelings for games like these and I'll be writing more about this topic (hopefully, since I'm bad at doing part two's of things) next week! So, for now I'll talk to you guys later!

Pastries That Are Alike! +Otome Step-Siblings
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I will be talking about step-siblings in otome games. Though before I get to that I would like to mention that in Voltage Inc's all in one app they have now released four previous side stories that were once in "Seduced in the Sleepless City". This announcement was made today and you can get them for free for three days! Once you get them they are yours forever! So if you are a fan or have the rest of the stories then go get these side stories! But let's get onto the main part of this post.
Now in some otome games (more in Japan than in the US) there may be a step-brother route. (Though it's like that for all routes for "Brothers Conflict".) A good example that people may know is Shiki's route in "Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~", since he is the step brother of the MC Kazuha since they were little, through their parent's getting married to each other. I do know though that a lot of people may feel uncomfortable with this though however. Though I would also say that from what I read and find then it mostly seems to be fifty/fifty.
I would say that I don't necessarily have a problem with this? Mostly because these aren't blood related. If they were blood related then I could not get into it. It would be very hard for me to digest that, since it's absolutely a no-no when it comes to blood related siblings. That is the only thing I can't get into, actual blown out incest. Though a game can get away with step-siblings to me. It is more of just a blood related thing and being blown out siblings. Even if step-siblings are little when they meet. To me that is still more or less okay.
In the end I guess it is more based off of how you feel and your own opinion. So I would like to hear what you all have to say about this in the comments below! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Shipped Over Ingredients! +Otomate Titles
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I will be talking about Japanese Otomate titles. Though more or less just ones that I wouldn't mind being translated to English. In this post I will be talking about two titles, out of their newest releases through out 2017 and so far this year. Please keep in mind that I would have others as well, though these are just the two that first came to mind.
The first one I will be talking about is "Shiro to Kuro no Arisu", which translates to "Alice of Black and White". This is an "Alice in Wonderland" based game, and you can play as two heroines with different routes attached.
Synopsis (Link, https://vndb.org/v19716 ):
Route: White ✦
The sky, covered in clouds — the World of White. On a rainy day, the heroine Airi, a high school second year student who lives a peaceful life, meets a certain young man on her way home. The young man, drenched in the rain without an umbrella, tells Airi that he’s ‘come to meet her.’ In fear and confusion, Airi runs away from him, but ends up getting caught. Suddenly, she finds herself in a place she has no recollection of. The same young man introduces himself as ‘the Black Rabbit, Rain’ and tells her this: ‘Alice, you will now become the queen of this world——’
Route: Black ✦
A blue sky with no edges — the World of Black. A sudden coup d’état takes place in the land that the second heroine, Luna, rules as the queen. The Queen’s advisors — the Black Rabbit, Rain, and the White Rabbit, Snow — who saw this as a serious threat, executed a plan which involved Luna taking refuge in the World of White while a candidate for the new queen would be brought back to the World of Black. And so, Luna was brought to the World of White, and Airi to the World of Black. The two girls who swap places; the secret behind their two worlds is……?
(END)
Obviously from my other blogs, I would want this due to the "Alice in Wonderland" theme. Though the story also interests me and it seems to be a different sort of twist (like vampires?). The next game I want to mention is "Library Cross ∞". This one is actually a mobile otome game, but besides your main heroine and main boys. There is also some of their old otome characters in this from their more older/previous games!
Synopsis (Link, https://vndb.org/r53199 ):
You have all been chosen to complete this book. In order to do so, you must defeat ayakashi. If the book is not completed, all of you will die.
You have until…1pm.
You awake in a world you’ve never seen before. When you look up, you notice a huge clock with 13 hours marked on it. Lying next to you is a ‘white book’ that is familiar to you. You find 9 young men trapped in the same library as you. Though you try to escape through a large set of doors at the back of the room, it has been firmly locked.
To escape from this world, you have no choice but to follow the orders of a mysterious book……
In addition to the game’s original characters, characters and the worlds from 5 of Otomate’s previous games will also be making an appearance. (Hakuouki, AMNESIA, NORN9, Moujuu-tsukai to Ohime-sama, Yunohana SpRING!)
(END)
Now of course I only know the characters from the ones that got localized, but I still find it cool and charming! Not only that but I'm kinda trash for themes like this for an otome game, with like this mystical element. I also know that some of you must be like, "but another mobile otome?". I honestly get what you guys are saying, but I like the concept for this one and to me it doesn't really seem like a mobile otome at all. Though the down fall with this is not getting references for when they cross over with a game.
In the end though I do know that for some people Otomate is a hit or miss or people either straight up like it or not. Honestly probably looking at what people say and think about this company probably doesn't help either. So I'm neutral about them and try not to think about them a lot. Though this will be then end of this post! Please comment down below the ones you want Otomate to translate as well as your feelings towards them! Or else talk to you guys later!

I honestly get what you guys are saying, but I like the concept for this one and to me it doesn't really seem like a mobile otome at all. Though the down fall with this is not getting references for when they cross over with a game.
In the end though I do know that for some people Otomate is a hit or miss or people either straight up like it or not. Honestly probably looking at what people say and think about this company probably doesn't help either. So I'm neutral about them and try not to think about them a lot. Though this will be then end of this post! Please comment down below the ones you want Otomate to translate as well as your feelings towards them! Or else talk to you guys later!

A Main Ingredient! +Otome Stories/Plots
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For people who have read my last post then you will know that I talked about some main things for otome games that could more or less get someone hooked on wanting that game. So, today I'll be kinda taking that one step further. The first thing on my list from last weeks post was the Story/Genre. So this will be the main idea of the blog for this weeks. Though I may or may not talked about this in the past, and I feel like I kinda talk about this a lot in other posts, but it is always nice to revisit it and to just make a whole post of it. (Also, the next following weeks posts, may or may not be continuing that blog. (But I may revisit Voice Actors, since I did make a post solely on that, though I feel like restating it.)
Let's get on with this post though. So I'll first start off with genre, though it may just end up leading to the mixing of the two anyways, since they do go together. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what genre means, so I'll avoid explaining it. Though for the most part every otome game has a genre. There could also be a mix of genres also though. Normally people tend to go for or be more attracted to genres that they enjoy. I'm pretty much the same as well, though it is always a good thing to try out different one or to play one that isn't really or favorite. (I explained this in my last blog.) Though I play any otome game regardless, but the genre does help in my excitement level of the game.
The story is obviously based off of the genre (it's always romance + insert another genre here, etc), though it could also be vice-versa. When I write a story the genre is always based on the story for me. Though I guess you could have a certain one in mind while making it, etc. In an otome game you have an overall theme/main story plot, but then you have your route stories/plots. So when you think about it, it technically is multiple stories in one. (Or adds up to one story.) Though even though it could all end being one main story, obviously other route plots (or even all) could end up entertaining you/you could end up enjoying them better than others. Though when you read a synopsis of an otome game I guess you are reading about the overall main story in the end.
I think I'll end this post here. Hopefully I was able to shed some light on something at least. Though if you'd like to add in your own thoughts then comment down below! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

The Best Ingredients! +Otome Things
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I get to the main part of this post I'd like to mention that "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly", "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk", and "7'scarlet" are all ready for pre-order on Amazon! So I'll make sure to leave a link down below to each page. The main thing I'll be talking about in this post is things I find as a big part of an otome game. You could also think of this as things that make an otome game. Though that could/may differ. But let's get started with it!
When I think about this the first thing that comes to my mind is the story/genre. Even though both the story and genre could probably be split up, it more or else also fits together. Since a story could be based off a genre or vise versa, etc. This basically also determines to how much I would want to play that game as well. Of course there may be other aspects as well, but this is mostly it. Everything is mostly determined through the synopsis of the story/game and what it's about. Though I also tend to play any game no matter what but this is more based on hype and wanting/order I may play games. When it comes to genres then even though I may not like a certain one when faced to one I'm not into and one I am (or just between overall themes) then I try to be open about it. This is mostly due to me playing a game I thought I wouldn't like as much as the other one I had so I started it first to get it over with, but in the end I actually ended up enjoying that one more than the other.
The next thing I would have to say is art. Even though I try not to pay attention to art as a main thing, it's kinda hard not to. I mean you get the story and art style kinda right off the bat. So of course this would have to be here. Also even though I only know of one artist by their name, I do notice other artist/art styles I know through out other otome games. I recently discovered that this also kinda makes me want to play a game, since I notice these art styles and artist, and since it's familiar I guess it makes me want to play the game a bit more then possibly other or such. (I hope I conveyed it in a way for people to understand? Also, this kinda makes me biased towards wanting to play "7'scarlet" a bit more than the other games, because of Chinatsu Kurahana?)
The last thing I would say for this post is the characters/voice actors. I kinda feel like this one is a no brainier? Obviously in order to enjoy an otome game you would have to connect with at least one character I feel like? Though that could also not be true. But normally you at least have to be interested in one in order to become interested in the others. Normally if a game doesn't have characters (or I guess stereotypes also?) that you either don't enjoy or like as much then this could probably lower how you feel about the game. But then there is voice actors. (Which new otome gamers may not relate to yet?) Normally if you find a voice actor(s) you either like and/or you enjoy then this could make this game much more entertaining for you or at least get you more hyped and wanting the game. And honestly it's as simple as that for voice actors I feel like.
In conclusion there could also be more elements, though I personally feel like I covered the basics. Since these things are the main things I look for and am interested in? (Though maybe for some people also console and language? Though I don't really care?) This shall be then end of this post though. If you want to add your what you look for/think is important the comment down below! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Main Dessert Choices! +Otome MCs/Heroines
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I start off this post I would like to mention that pre-orders for "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly" and "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk" are now up on GameStop. On its page it says that "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly" is going to come out April 27th of this year, and "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk" is going to be released on June 29th. I leave the link to both preorder pages down below! Now though lets get into the main part of this post. I don't recall if I ever did a post or at least a paragraph about this, but this post is going to be about our Otome Heroines!
Now I don't really have an issue with otome heroines? I mean I can also understand why people could not like some/certain MCs also. The main/common MC/Heroine is mostly innocent, childish, inexperienced, and etc. Though maybe this heroine type doesn't really bother me because I start off with this type? Though no matter what I don't really care. Though of course having a variety of different heroines is always nice as well. Honestly I probably notice a heroine with a unique trait or design most though. Even if I do find a heroine annoying or whatever, then it mostly disappears soon after.
This reason is mostly because I am probably more focused on the story-line or something of the sort anyways? I mean like you can have any heroine you want, but I feel like they have to fit in with the story at least. Or at least fit the situations they are in. So I guess for me it is all based more on the story and how it fits and everything? Though I also just can't really hate any of them anyways.
I think I'll end this post here. Comment down below how you feel about our otome MCs/Heroines and which ones are your favorite and why. Though or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Look At Our Apps! +Mobile Otome Games
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This post is going to be about mobile otome games! This was the type of otome gaming I started out with. Though, probably most of us started out with this type. My first otome game was "Midnight Cinderella" by Cybird, though that kinda is irrelevant for this post, but still fits all the same. The first thing I'm going to be talking about is about the price/spending of it. Some otome apps are free while some aren't. In the end it really just narrows down to free and paid. So I'll be splitting it into two sections, free and paid. Though also talking about expense (most likely at the end.)
So let's talk about free first. When it comes down to free apps you can play the whole game for free, but for the most part all of it is ticket based with checkpoints in between. Though you can make purchases to buy more tickets or things you may need to get through checkpoints, or to get more affection points, etc. I started with free ones, so I have a tolerance to them. Though for some people all of this is irritating. Honestly though I never spend any money on free app and just lived with my fate. Even now I would still never spend any money on them, probably because I find no point in it with free apps? Though that's shaky and I guess it's more just a feeling I get.
Now paid apps. Paid apps are mostly in-app purchases. Though the prologue is free and you can read it all straight through right away and maybe also possibly the first episode of the guy you choose. Though the rest you have to pay for. Normally a route costs $3.99 or $4.99. Though unlike free you are paying for his whole route right away so you can read it straight through whenever you feel like, and it's your's forever.
Now the last part, expense/spending. With paid apps there are normally five routes though that's the average, so there could be more or less depending on the game. Though if you only buy the main story for each boy then that could round up to $20 total (if it's $3.99, or to be exact $19.95) or $25 total (for $4.99 or to be exact, $24.95). And I can't really say how much you would spend for free games if you do decide to buy or if you are one that does. In my opinion though I would think that you spend more money on free apps though. Especially if you are going through all routes. Though with paid games there are also epilogues and sequels sometimes that you would have to buy. So I guess it all depends on the spender honestly.
I think I shall end this post here though. If you want to comment about your experience with both or one or the other then comment down below! Also comment how you feel about otome apps! For now though, I'll talk to you guys later!

Bring Your Laptop To The Cafe! +PC Otome Games
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I'll be talking about otome games that are played on the computer or most known as PC (though the same thing). There are also even some otome games that are on the PC that are also made on mobile as well. I started on mobile but I remember when I first started playing one on my PC. I enjoyed it a lot and enjoyed playing it during the night. Probably because I mobile games during the day, since I'm on the platform during the day with my PC at night. Though I love both equally, since it all depends on the otome game in the end anyways.
And of course their are both pros and cons to both sides. Though this post is just about PC, so a war between the two another day. When it comes down to PC a company may have a demo of the game that you can download and try out, if you have to pay money for the game. Though there are also free ones as well. A game on PC that you pay for can basically average to around $30. So you are getting everything at one go. So if you really wanted too you could play the whole game in one go (depending on how long it takes for each route), or you could split up when to play each route when you want to. (I honestly always go for splitting it up.)
If you want to make this simpler then a paid PC otome game will almost mostly have voice acting it. I actually don't think I've ever ran into one where there wasn't voice acting in it. Not only that but there may be some added things that you might get/or something that a free one doesn't offer.
With free ones there's most likely no voice acting and sometimes not even music. For this one I actually do know of a game that does have both music AND voice acting. This game is called "Seduce Me the Otome" by Michaela Laws. This game is a really amazing otome games and I'm putting a link of it's Steam page down below and so you guys should totally check it out. Especially! Since it's free.
To me though I would say that voice acting and music are more like added bonuses to otome games though. (Though I would also like to AT LEAST have music in it.) I think the type of an otome game and the story and what's it about can be more appealing. (But both of those other two things do help.) Though I would say that it all ends on preference on how you like PC otome's in the end. So comment down below on how you feel about them, and I'll talk to you guys later!

Cafe Progress! +An Update
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This post will actually be a short one because, this is an update post! Normally I never really do update posts about my blog or anything, but I feel like I need to write one. I actually won't be able to play any otome games for a few months. This saddens me a lot though, though I want to try to continue playing them during my free time. I always enjoy otome games and that's the reason why I made this blog. A lot of people don't read my blog, if barely any. This could also be because of the blog site I use or whatever. For next week's post I really want to talk about how I feel towards otome games and just generally express my feelings and everything about it.
I know that these last few weeks post's haven't been the best, since I honestly don't have the time to plan what I'm going to do and everything anymore. Though I will try to get better again and I might bring back some old blog series/themes/parts I did in the past that I enjoyed and can bring up again. (I might also make a blog series of all the otome companies and what I like/dislike about them, maybe?) I'll try to start making better posts again since this blog means a lot to me, and I personally enjoy writing posts for you guys! (Or at least the people who read it.)
This blog is on it's 3rd year. And so, I just want to thank everyone (new or old (or even one time)) who read this blog and enjoy it! I want people to enjoy this blog and I want to continue it for as long as I can! So even if I don't say thank you to all of you that much or rarely. I truly am grateful to everyone!
For now, thank you and talk to you guys later!

A Nice Sit Down Time! +Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live
Hello! Welcome back to another post! I think I mentioned in last week's post that I'm not playing any otome games until March due to my hectic life at the moment. (And hopefully it won't be hectic in March still.) Though one thing I have been playing in my down time is of course "Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live"! (For those of you who haven't read my last two posts.) By the way I'm sorry for all of the Shining Live posts, but I am such a HUGE Utapri fan and with my life right now as it is, so I hope everyone understand. Also expect this to me another more short post. (Possibly even shorter than the last.) Let's get on with it though!
I actually ended up reading a lot more of the main story chapters. Since with the Valentines Event going on I actually have a break and can further explore. Not only that but I really wanted to unlock songs and since I leveled up so much thanks to the events, I ended up with a lot of tickets. This actually makes me want to write a more detailed/examined blog post about the translations in Shining Live, now that I actually have more material to think upon. So that will probably be next weeks post.
I think I'll end this post here. Honestly if you guys want a post about something then please comment down below! Above all else though I HIGHLY recommend "Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live"! Especially if you are a fellow "Uta no Prince-Sama" fan or not! Or else for now I'll talk to you guys later!

A Newly Baked Pie! +Mystic Messenger +Uta no Prince Sama Shining Live
Hello! Welcome back to another post! To start off this post I would like to talk about the release of Ray's route in "Mystic Messenger"! If you already have V's route bought and unlocked then Ray's route will only cost 250 hourglasses. Though if you haven't unlocked V's route then all of Another Story will cost 550 hourglasses. This is really the only thing I wanted to bring up about it, but I will say that I'm highly excited to play Ray's route! I just have to wait a bit before I can. On another note though I will have to also wait to play "Collar x Malice". I'll probably end up playing both games in March, since right now my life is quite hectic.
Right now during the free time I get, I'm actually playing "Uta no Prince-Sama: Shining Live". Last week's post was basically all about this game that I've been playing. The event currently going on now is Masato's event. I'm trying to aim for his 10% also, but I've been busier this time around during this event, so hopefully I'll get there. (I probably will just end up spending my prisms on LP instead of going for a gacha this time.) Last time I was able to get to the 10%, so I have hope for this one. I just can't be lazy with it. Also this Masato one is the second part of the event. The first part was Ren and the second part is Masato. I do have to confess though, that I really do enjoy his UR for this event.
This post is actually going to end here. I know that it's a short post than normal, but this is all I got for this week. I don't really know what I'm going to do for the rest of the February, so I might further examine games that I've played and do a further more detailed blog about it. But yet again I may not. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. If you'd like to comment down below about something then go head! For now though I'll talk to you guys later!

A Big Shipment Has Come In! +Uta no Prince Sama Shining Live
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This post is about "Uta no Prince Sama: Shining Live"! The English version (along with Chinese) recently came out this past week, and of course I went ahead and downloaded it right away. Before I start talking about it though I do want to mention that I was planning on starting "Collar x Malice" but that obviously didn't happen. I decided to just play Shining Live this whole time instead. Though I'm planning on picking it up this week, so hopefully that will stay that way.
Back to the main thing though. Honestly I am super excited and hyped about this. I have been playing it nonstop and time just seems to fly by. There are a few problems with this though that I can't really ignore. I've also seen this complaint and everything through the people I follow on Twitter as well. And that is it's characterization. There are somethings that the character's say that don't fit them at all. It's like someone just translated it without even knowing the characters. Honestly to me that's really disappointing and upsets me every time I realize it. Though I can ignore it for the post part or my mind auto-corrects it. Ren's event is currently on and I unlocked all ten episodes and I haven't even touched them at all yet. I wish we could do something about this, but I don't really know what we could do.
I think that's the only thing that I can think of that actually was big on me. I really do enjoy this game and the series of course obviously. I'm such a huge Utapri fan so I'll also obviously still love and play this game. Not only that but people are actually meme-ing the wrong characterzation's also, so I guess there is some fun in it?
I can't wait for what's to come to this app and hopefully somewhere down the line there will be fixed translations. (Even if we have a big/long maintenance for it. It would be worth it.) I overall enjoy this app and will continue to enjoy along with Utapri. This is all the time I have for this post, but if you'd like to voice your thoughts on Shining Live down below in the comments then I'd surely love to read them! For now though, I'll talk to you guys later!

A Finished Tea! +Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I start off this post I do want to mention real quick that for people who bought games on Voltage stand alone apps, then make sure to transfer all of your apps to their app Love 365 and also do it as fast as you can since they do have a transfer deadline date for them! (Varies on when app transfers over, normally a 3 month time period. Link below of the transfer end dates.)
Though now let's get onto the main focus of this post! Last week's post I mentioned that I would make a post about "Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~" once I finished it! Well... I did finish it, I just haven't read or looked at any of his perspective's yet. Honestly I also tried to see and figure out if there was like a true route just to make sure and sure enough there wasn't any, so I really am finished. Honestly I personally really enjoyed this game. I know that Otomate games for some people are either hit or miss, good, or just bad. Though I really enjoyed this title and this was the title I was most excited for out off all of the English PS Vita releases last year. So I guess that could've also helped out in a way?
Synopsis (Link - http://aksysgames.com/pcube/ ):
Searching for clues about your missing brother, you and your childhood friend Hiroya begin playing an online RPG called “Arcadia.”
You’re suddenly enveloped in a flash of light, and awaken to find yourself in a mysterious fantasy world. You discover you’ve been sent inside of the game, and learn that the only way out is to complete it. In a deadly world on the verge of collapse, you become the “Almighty,” the key to clearing Arcadia, and the secret weapon everyone is after.
You and your companions undertake a perilous journey, where love grows as the world falls apart.
(END)
(If things seem spacey or out of detail then that's because I'm trying to make it spoiler free~!)
In this game I loved all of the characters! Even some side characters like Forte. I always enjoyed seeing them appear in the other routes that I've done once I actually knew more about them and everything. I feel like they made a lot of things more light hearted and enjoyable during certain times. Actually when I first saw and heard Jocus in the first route I've done, I instantly recognized his voice actor, which made me very surprised at first, but happy at the end. (Especially since I only look at the main guy's voice actors, so obviously I would be a bit surprised.)
My first route for this game was Astrum's route. And I finished this game on Demento's. Honestly my first time playing is always a mystery since I always just go with fate and I guess fate has lead me to Astrum first and if I realized/figured out how to get Demento's route sooner I would've played him way sooner. Also since I'm pretty sure Hiroya and Poyo-Poyo's routes are supposed to be the last two that you play, but whoops. If I did play Demento's route earlier then Poyo-Poyo's route would've been last. (And I would've liked to of made Demento my second route then. Though I do feel some disappointment that his route was so short? Like maybe it's because I started it off right were we can level up our affection with him, but still. When I think about it though it was pretty good and wrapped him up nicely, so maybe I'm just messed up with how short it is, since I was so used to the other ones being full routes.)
I am just happy that Hiroya's character type isn't one I'm all to attracted to, haha... In the end though I really loved and enjoyed this game! I personally have a few routes that I just ended up enjoying a lot more than others. I also enjoyed the art and it was pretty entertaining story wise. Not only that but I also enjoyed the RPG parts. So I do recommend this game to people who are interested but don't know if they should try it out yet!
In the end I think I'll end this post here! If you want to add on your own thoughts or feelings then comment down below! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Talk About Sweets That Need To Be Made! +Otome Games I Want Translated
Hello! Welcome back to another post! In all due honesty this post is kinda late due to me forgetting it was Sunday, so I forgot to make a post til now. Though in all due honesty my mind has been so filled with so much other stuff in my life that I just kinda didn't have the mind space to remember this week. But it's fine since I'm making a post now! Not only that but next weeks post SHOULD be my post about "Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~"! Though if it's not next weeks post then definitely the weeks after next week.
Also! The English version of "Uta no Prince Sama: Shining Live" is planning on coming out soon! It's going to be on both IOS and Android with the preregister already on Google Play! Shining Live is a rhythm game by Klab and Broccoli. All of the social media for the game is now out and open and if we reach a certain following goals then we get bonuses for when the game comes out! So I'll put the links down below of the website and their Facebook and Twitter! (Make sure to follow their Twitter and/or Facebook page so we can get those bonuses! We already got two out of the three!) pre-orders for the Code: Realize games both regular and limited addition versions are now available for pre-order! Both will be coming out on March 30th of this year! Now this post will be about otome games that I would really enjoy to be translated! Like in my other post I'll only be doing my top three, so let's get on with it!
The first game (series in this case) I would like to mention is "Uta no Prince Sama"! Honestly I'm always holding back in my posts to not talk about this and every information that comes out for it. Though now is my chance! I really love all the songs this series has to offer! I love all the characters in it and this is honestly something that has became really important to me in my life. So I would really enjoy for these games to be translated to English.
Synopsis (From Wikipedia):
With dreams of becoming a composer and someday writing a song for her favorite idol, Haruka Nanami enters the Saotome Academy, a prestigious performing arts school. If successful there, she'll be able to join the Shining Agency after graduation. However, it won't be so easy when Haruka is already surrounded by potential idols and composers. On top of that, her homeroom teacher is a current idol, the headmaster was a record-breaking singer, and the academy itself is an eccentric place where anything could possibly happen.
In the end, right at the graduation, two students are to be teamed up by the choice, one will take the role of the idol and the other should be the composer. After being paired up, they will sing a song that was both composed, written and sung by them. If successful, they will join and take the spot as the new Shining Agency debut artists. In addition, romance is strictly prohibited at their school.
(END)
The next game that I would like to be translated is, "ALICE=ALICE". Originally drama CD's Reject also made it as a PC Game. Though since I can't really add in here the Kuni no Alice series since there used to be an English one of the first game on IOS and Android by the company that made the series "QuinRose" that sadly went bankrupt. But there is also a translation group that is working on translating one of the remakes of the first game on PC. (With most routes and endings already complete!) So I decided to go with this one. (Also since I'm such "Alice in Wonderland" trash if you could not tell.) This one interests me a lot with this cannibalism thing and it honestly seems like something I would enjoy a lot! Not only that but I love the characters already with their descriptions! The art style to me is something I also like a lot!
Synopsis (From Otome Jikan - Link: http://otome-jikan.net/2013/08/09/alicealice/ )
Never-changing days, days you couldn’t care less for.
Without a single excitement.
Is that really happiness?
There’s another me who exists, who says that I no longer need such happiness.
There’s something more, much more, pleasurable in this world.
I spent my days thinking that and at the next moment, a gaudy-looking black rabbit appeared before me.
“Oi, you there, if you’re that bored how about coming here?”
“Despite saying that, once you enter, you may not be able to return anymore.”
“Kuku, you may have the best pleasure, which you’ve never experienced before?”
Without any hesitation, the answer I chose was:
Yes / No
(END)
The last and final game for this post is, "Drug Prince And Narcotic Girl" by coly inc.! This is a Japanese app on IOS and Android that I stumbled across two years ago I think? The art style is the same as most Voltage inc games, but I have never been so hooked on an app that's in Japanese that I really want to be translated into English! Normally I either always skip over them or try not to pay them much mind when I'm on the App or Google Play store. For this one though I think I'll let the Synopsis do the talking as to why.
Synopsis (Otome Amino "NerdBerd" - Link: https://aminoapps.com/c/otome/page/blog/why-do-i-torture-myself/DR8J_kQSPuxXKV4nq5dKaojbmK3ojQNWZD )
The prologue opens with you waking up outdoors, tied to a chair and presented to an audience as a prize. You start to put together what has happened. There’s a boxing ring, which might have been an illegal fighting match and boxers could be injected with cocaine in order to heat things up, making it a win or die fight.
The two boxers step into the ring but then one suddenly grabs the man emceeing the event while the other unties you. You’re wary and refused their help only to realise the two man (after they unmasked themselves) to be Seki Daisuke and Aoyama Itsuki, both your colleagues in Narcotics.
You play a 26-year old pharmacist and suddenly, your friend and colleague Ayako rushed to you about a very handsome man waiting for you at the car park. Thinking that you might have got in trouble with the law, the handsome man insists that he is not doing anything unsavory (unless you had or have been dealing medicine illegally…).
Seki flashed his badge, showing that he’s the head of the Narcotics department. He scouted you for a reason: your body’s ability to handle (or be immune to) certain drugs, which is useful as a wildcard in their operations.
On your first day, you meet the rest of the guys and would be partnered up so he could you show you the ropes and keep you safe because people with the ability to resist the effects of drugs are often targeted (useful for research).
(END)
Well this is it for this post! Though a few other ones that I wouldn't mind being translated are "Brothers Conflict", "Sanrio Danshi", & "Otome Yusha". (Along with any other "Alice in Wonderland" otome games, plus all the other ones on my list.) If you want to list your top three below then go ahead! I'd love to see your top three! So comment them down below! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Look Into The Wanted Sweets! (+Games Wanting to Play This Year!)
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I start off this post I'd like to say that "Code: Realize ~Future Blessings~" for PS Vita and the one for PS4 (that has both the first Code: Realize and Future Blessings) will be coming out on March 30th this year in North America! It will launch in Europe sometime during Spring 2018! The North American version will also have a limited edition version as well! It will include these things (for PS Vita):

~~(The link to where I got this info will be below! Also with more information of ~Future Blessings~ and such!)~~
Now let's move onto the main section of this post! This post is all about games I want to play this year! This will most likely be a two part-er post (or more part-er post, though I will most likely write the one post even if it's not all of them, but to keep things in January and such, though you can always comment if you'd like to know some others!) and I could've also forgot some games that I wanted to play in this post as well. (On another note this post will not involved games that I want to be translated to English that I would like to play.)
Let's start off with the game I would like to play most that is going to come out this year! The first game is "7'scarlet"! (PS Vita) Honestly one of the huge reasons why I want to play this game is because the art is done by Kurahana Chinatsu, who does the character designs and some other things for "Uta no Prince Sama"! I've read somethings about the dateable character's for this game as well and a lot of them seem really enjoyable! The story line also seems like something I would enjoy a lot also! Not only that but I love the colors and aesthetics of the game as well!
Synopsis (link below):
“The summer holidays. A town caged by nature, Okunezato. One year ago in this town, her older brother suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The protagonist and university student Hanamaki Ichiko is invited by Kagutsuchi Hino - her childhood friend in the same university year level as her - to go to Okunezato in order to look for her disappeared older brother together. Hino had found the “Forbidden Okunezato Club”, a website in which its visitors discuss the mysteries and legends of Okunezato.
The “other face” of Okunezato comes to light as rumours regarding the “Legend of the Dead” are treated as though they were fact. Everytime they follow the footsteps of her disappeared brother, mysterious events spark. The true existence of the forbidden grounds, and the legendary flower that only blooms in Okunezato…”
(END)
The next game that I would like to play is "Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly" and "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk"! (PS Vita) These two games are also coming out sometime this year! Ashen Hawk is the sequel to Black Butterfly. Though to me the story sounds really good and something I would be quite into! It gives me a certain vibe that I can't really place, but it's a type of vibe that I know means that I will end up loving it!
Synopsis (Black Butterfly)(link below):
“As she fell deeper and deeper into the darkness, she could hear the sound of rainfall. Also, she heard an animalistic cry.
When she woke up, the young girl found herself in a Western-style mansion.
An unknown, terrible monster rushes to attack the confused girl.
As the young girl ran away from the monster, she thought:
Having lost pretty much all of her memories, she eventually met and joined up with some men in the same circumstances as her. They all held weapons that were strange handguns. From there on out, with their lives at stake, they must participate in the Black Butterfly Hunt, and collect Kaleidoscope Shards"possessed by those monsters.
Inside the Western-style mansion in which despair and betrayal swirls, will they be able to find hope in their futures?”
(END)
The third one for this post (which is also coming out this year) is "Ikémen Revolution: Love & Magic in Wonderland"! (By Cybird and will be on Mobile) I actually made a post announcing about this game and how hyped I am for it! Basically I'm hyped for this because I'm a huge "Alice in Wonderland" fan! So I always enjoy more Alice in Wonderland" otome games! I also searched into this game and I'm really hyped to romance the characters! The story line and how this Wonderland universe is set up really makes me feel like I'll enjoy this quite a bit!
Synopsis (doing what I did in other post I talked about this game in):
Cybird's Video (4:38 - 6:33 for "Ikemen Revolution: Love & Magic in Wonderland"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI-FujQnfZg
(END)
I think this shall be all for this post! These are my top three! Though I will also say that finishing up/playing the three PS Vita games that came out last year since I got them for Christmas so I can finally play them! I already talked a bit about Period: Cube and can't wait to talk about it more in a post! But if you'd like to comment down below about something like the games you want to play most this year, then go ahead! I'd like to know at least your top three as well! Or else talk to you guys later!

Happy New Years!
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This is the first post of 2018! I'm sorry for such the late post! I couldn't go on my computer for the last few days since family was over to celebrate New Years! Though I will still be posting every Sunday like always! I don't really have a topic for this post though I will mention a few things, so expect this to be quite a short post. The first thing I'd like to re-mention is that Ray's route in "Mystic Messenger" will be out by the 31st of this month!
Voltage Inc is having a sale til the 9th of this month on some of their games in their combined app called Love 365. "My Twin Romance" by Genius is still all ticket free til the 31st of this month as well! This is the few things that I remember though there could be a few other things. I have though recently started playing "Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~" on my PS Vita and I plan on talking about it in either next week's post or a post sometime this month most likely!
I think I'll be ending this post here though! I have a few idea's that I may or may not do during this month to start off the new year. (Like looking back on 2017 in otome and such.) But for now Happy New Years and I'll talk to you guys later!
