VNNovember and Michiru Yamane Month Double Roundup

1 / 18 / 18

VNNovember and Michiru Yamane Month Double Roundup Community Game-Along

Late last year, I decided to bring back the monthly Community Game-Along roundup posts after a suggestion from a reader. But with my trip to Japan at the end of November and the hectic holiday season, I completely dropped the ball on posting roundups for November and December‘s themes! I’d still like to highlight some of the great contributions and game selections from folks who participated, so I’ve decided to combine both months for today’s post. I’ll do my best to make sure I’m not this late again!

Angelique: Tenkuu no Requiem Ruby Party Interview Translation

1 / 9 / 181 / 10 / 18

Angelique Tenkuu no Requiem Ruby Party Interview Translation

Otome games are steadily gaining popularity outside of Japan, with releases such as Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Code: Realize Guardian of Rebirth, and the breakout Korean hit Mystic Messenger making waves over the past couple years. However, not much is known about Ruby Party, the female-led development team at Koei Tecmo behind the Angelique series, which is widely regarded as the start of the otome game genre. In what hopefully will become a larger series, I’ll be translating interviews and other information on Ruby Party to help spread knowledge of this influential team!

5 Best Otome Games for Practicing Japanese

So you’ve decided to learn Japanese to play all those otome games that haven’t been released in English (not to mention other games!). Good for you! But what games are best for beginning language learners? I get a lot of questions about learning Japanese, particularly from people who want to play otome games because so few of them are available in English. So, I decided to round up 5 otome games that I think are good for Japanese language students!

Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~ Review

8 / 10 / 17

Period Cube Shackles of Amadeus Otome Game Review

I’ve always been a fan of stories about someone trapped inside an MMO, so when I heard Aksys Games was localizing Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~, I was thrilled! As an otome game featuring that very premise, Period: Cube centers around a high school girl that gets trapped in the MMO Arcadia. After searching for clues of her missing brother’s whereabouts, all signs point to the mysterious “World V,” a new server in Arcadia where death is absolute. If your character dies, you die!

Kickstarter Spotlight: Otome Game Silent Voices

5 / 26 / 175 / 29 / 17

Silent Voices otome game

I always love hearing about new visual novel fundraising projects, especially when they’re otome or BL games. That’s why, when the folks behind the psychological otome game Silent Voices asked if I could write a post about their Kickstarter, I was happy to oblige!

The misunderstanding about what doujin(shi) is makes me sad. Doujin basically means indie (the “shi” is for books/zines/comics). Not all of it is porn or even based off of existing series.

There’s an entire event in Japan where people sell their original doujin works!
