Benio is simply mentally challenged.

Proof that the chinese are memeing the japanese https://www.novelupdates.com/series/its-impossible-that-my-evil-overlord-is-so-cute/ (It’s Impossible that My Evil Overlord is So Cute)

Male : I like Wakamoto Norio. Two examples : Takayashiki Hiroshi (Family Project/Kazoku Keikaku) Houzuki Masaomi (Sharin no Kuni) Female : Maybe Shimizu Ai. Because of : Komine Sachi (Grisaia) Sanjou Makoto (Noble Works) Tanaka Ryouko is good too (Grisaia, Ayakashibito...)

It's decent, nothing excellent, nothing bad, it's stil a decent ride, with some lengthy shitty moments.

List of Legal Anime, Manga & Light Novel Sources Figured this topic might be useful to be pinned in this section. The plan is to list down legal sources where one can watch anime and read manga/light novels and support the industry as much as possible instead of using illegal sources. If you wish to contribute to the list, please post in the thread or PM me so it can be added. Other mods are free to edit the list as well, although I would appreciate it if you could check the box that shows you edited it. Disclaimer: Obviously I don't use every single one of these sites so I can't provide personal experience for all, so please do read each site's ToS/FAQ before using it and make sure it will work for you, I only be giving a brief overview of each site. If you have any experience with any of these sites and want to give feedback to other members, please do make post about in the thread. Anime Streaming Sites This might be a good place to start to see if the series you want is even available for streaming. Crunchyroll (Subscription based. Usually tends to have most of the recent shows. Offers subs in multiple languages)Funimation (Subscription based. Offers English dubs for a lot of the recent anime)Daisuki (No subscription needed. Streams worldwide with possible restrictions)The Anime Network (Subscription based. Streams worldwide I think? Possible restrictions)Hulu (Subscription based. Streams in the US only)Netflix (Subscription based. Streams in some regions depending on the show)VizMedia (Hulu based so same thing as Hulu)Non-english streaming websites: Wakanim (French, has subscription, non-subscription and VOD offers)ADN (French, subscription based)Both My Anime List and Anime News Network have also recently partnered with some of the above sites to stream on their site as well. Buying Anime There are several sites and stores across the globe that probably have some anime in stock, so you should always check your local retailers first. Also check anime databases like MAL or ANN for the official licensing companies as those are usually the ones in charge of providing the product directly to their consumer. The most useful sites tend to be Amazon and RightStuf. AmiAmi also tends to have the most recent blu-ray releases, often the limited editions as well. Note these are strictly in Japanese. You can also use Amazon Japan if you have a proxy or a forwarding service that can get you your stuff. Manga Before you do anything, Manga Updates is an awesome database to find information on the publishers of any given manga/manwha/manhua/light novel, including webcomics (something a lot of other databases leave out) so you might want to look up the title you want there first and foremost to see if it's been licensed or where it's being published. Digital Manga Crunchyroll (Subscription based. Usually up to date. Available worldwide. Has an iOS/Android app)Book Walker (Commercial. Offers Light Novels too. Has an iOS/Android app)Book Walker JP (Same as the above but offers only Japanese manga and light novels. Has a bigger catalog though)Kodansha Comics (Commercial. Offers lots of both digital and physical manga)Comic Walker (No subscription needed. Is often out of date though)Comic Walker JP (No subscription needed. Much more up to date but offers only Japanese manga. Also has links to purchase)Viz (Offers usually both digital and physical versions of their manga, usually through Amazon)Shounen Jump (English simulpub of Shounen Jump. Available in English-speaking countries only)Amazon (Commercial. Amazon often tends to offer digital editions of the manga in their catalog)Amazon JP (Only Japanese manga, usually the most recent stuff. You'll need to have a Japanese amazon account)Physical Manga Amazon (Usually people's number 1 site for purchasing both physical and digital manga)Book Depository (Free shipping to a lot of regions. Is also a regular book store)RightStuf (For some reason the manga is under "Graphic Novels)Kodansha Comics (Offers lots of both digital and physical manga)Seven Seas Entertainment (Has quite a wide range of retailers)Amazon JP (Only Japanese manga & books. Usually the most recent titles are on Amazon JP and amazon does ship manga and books internationally)Honto (Only Japanese manga & books. Ships internationally, often said to be cheaper than amazon JP)Light Novels The subreddit /r/lightnovels has a very extensive list of upcoming releases with several purchase links so feel free to bookmark that page and follow the sub if you're interested in keeping up with the latest stuff. I would once again heavily recommend checking out Manga Updates to see if the light novel you're looking for has been licensed in English, and if so, by which company, before you start googling away. Light Novel Licensing Companies Yen PressVerticalOne Peace BooksTokyo PopMost of these companies end up selling their books through third parties like Amazon or Book Depository Region Restrictions A lot of these publishers, mainly anime streaming sites, often have restrictions depending on the region you live in. However, you can always use a VPN service to change your IP address to the respective country where the service is available, which more often than not tends to be the US. Some sites only require your IP address to belong to that region during the sign-up process while others always require you to have that IP address when viewing their site. "But isn't VPN illegal?" you may ask. Yes, in theory changing your IP address is illegal, however you're supporting the industry by purchasing or watching/reading from any of these sites, so I think most people would agree that it's a lesser evil for a greater cause.

Eve Zero is the game of the Month March 2000. The other masterpiece of the month is Harlem Blade II, but it's only suitable for those who appreciate RPG. 1. Harlem Blade II ~Dark Angel~ ハーレムブレイドII～Dark Angel～ [000303] Giga Our guy left his childhood girl and went to war against a monster after his father got killed in it. When he came back a year later, he was just in time to see his childhood girl taken away by the monster's army. He joined the resistance and started to find her. Within 30 days, he can help girls who will join him in the fight. Picture becomes anime'ish and flow is rather comic. Game balance has improved. Overall the story is solid and gameplay is enjoyable. It's well worth a masterpiece title for those who appreciate RPG. 2. Rendezvous Rendezvous ～ランデブー～ [000303] Melody Bar "Rendezvous" quietly waits for visitors in the corner of the city. People from different circles spend time here. Tonight romance awaits you... Well, this is an antology and needs to be blocked by my rules. But these are 19 scenarios that all happen in the same bar. It can be said that the bar is the main character here, so it does not really feel like all kind of weird stories gathered together. What stands out in this game is a shic atmosphere of jazz and neat graphics. Stories vary greatly and it's only sad that the length of each story is not too long. All character are adults, of course. So a nice work for a change of pace. 3. Hikari o... 光を… [000310] LiLiM 1 The story takes place in a common town. Your parents disappeared long time ago leaving you and your half sister. You go blind after a car accident because of your little sister. Doc says some day after some special event (hint) you will regain your sight, maybe. So there you live your miserable life not being able to see all the cute girls around you. Until you regain your sight, you predict the appereance of the girls they have now with your memories. There's an English review of it. 4. Into Your World [000310] Mermaid Our guy got a no name game in the mail. When he played it, he end up in a mansion where 3 maids(big, middle, small) work for him. Now, waking up in the morning by his real world childhood girl, he attend class and can chase her or another school girl. Back home after school, he plays his maid game. If he manage to win a maid, she will be with him one way or another. Story is really bad in this game. There's nothing to do in the main route in-between stand-alone events. There are girls in both worlds, but the capture is done in fictional world while real world is a chore that needs to be played just because maid route won't flag without it. This is just a mediocre quality work that's not really impressive enough to talk about. 5. Mahoutsukai no Deshi 魔法使いの♀弟子 [000310] Deeps Cute magician apprentice Lefuur commonly called as Fu Fu is the main heroine of the game. She is in love with her mentor wizard Klimt and will go any lengths to fulfill his difficult requests. This is a full scale rpg with exploration, items, battles, parameters and magic constructor system to mix different magic. There are 30 quests to do and each quest is basically an independent scenario. Battle system and especially magic construction were too confusing for me. 6. Utagoe 2 ~Dance Mix~ 淫声2 ～DANCE MIX～ [000310] Succubus Main character is a genius guitarist and producer. His task now is to train a four girl unit "BLMAX" and win the Grand Prix a competition held in three months time. As of now they don't sell at all, but it's a private request from his colleague Risa, and hero's indebted to her too much to refuse. For those who remember a prequel, that was pretty much a nukige SIM. Here things are even worse. Now it's a baka nukige. Here performance is one big H scene as well. Just leaving it here, because the cover and the synopsis look innocent enough, but the reality is very different. 7. Virgin Snow [000310] Essence It's a cold winder day. Suddenly a warm feeling is born inside me. It gently melts the frozen heart. It's a soft warmth like the sun in winter. It was that one encounter that gave me warmth. A generic AVG. System is bad (like only 4 save slots) and tempo is bad and only gets worse further on. Text and scenario are bad. There are only four locations to go. One playthrough is over in an hour, so there's just not enough development. 8. Aitakute... ~Your Smiles in My Heart~ あいたくて… 〜your smiles in my heart〜 [000316] Konami You're in tenth grade, your parents are out of the country for a year, and your new private school has affairs of the heart as a major elective. If that isn't reason enough to get chummy with the opposite sex, you're also a teenage male, and your father has decided that he'll find you a "really nice" girlfriend if you can't do it yourself. Throw in the fact that the only person you know at this new school is a Casanova who turned down a top-ten prep school because it wasn't coed, and one has the ingredients for a good old-fashioned romance sim. As Ichinose Sinya, the player examines a variety of sloe-eyed high school girls through his daily interactions with them in the school environment. Once their characters, dispositions, and interest (or lack thereof) in the player become more clear through their own statements and interactive events, the pursuit phase begins. The first goal -- one that is traditionally laid out as the be-all and the end-all in romance sims -- is to make yourself agreeable to the girl and eventually ask her out on a date. The tedious details of daily life can be taken care of selecting "Everyday Goals" in the auto-play configuration. Personality parameters can be adjusted either to the player's tastes or some chosen girl's preferences. For the more important things, manual play mode will allow the player to arrange the hot date by phoning to ask a girl out, reserving concert tickets, and buying presents. The player can also stake out a nice romantic spot or find a part-time job to pay for all this extravagance. Well, description pretty much contains review in itself. A dating SIM that tries to invent something new like nicknames or long dates. 9. Natsuiro Kenjutsu Komachi 夏色剣術小町 [000316] GungHo Works Natsuiro Kenjutsi Komachi is about a school tournament and the player takes the role of Akira, the captain of the athletic team of the Katsuragi Hall High School. Natsuiro Kenjutsi Komachi is the typical dating simulation game in which the player's character will encounter different kind of girls to date. During the game the player's character can also participate in different kind of activities (sports, studying, etc) to improve his stats and have more chances to date the girls. The game uses a first person perspective in the adventure part and third person in the activities part. It's mostly a comedy work. Kendo actually takes a good half of the time and girls have to make with the rest. There are some 5 kendo matches. Quite a typical dating SIM otherwise. 10. Animal Magnetism ~Pochi no Daisuki~ あにまる・まぐねてぃずむ～ぽちのだいすき～ [000317] Gainax 1 Pochi is left alone by her owner. How will she cope with her newfound desperation? Basically it's reinventing Battle Skin Panic. Same card battles plus introducing animal appeal. I've lost faith in Gainax as game maker a long time ago, it always ends up in minimal story and maximal gameplay. 11. Elise Elise ～エリーゼ～ [000317] Airyu Our guy is a columnist that write about people's relationship base on their sign, blood type and other stuff. It's funny giving love advice when he doesn't even have a girlfriend. He has 4 prospects, one of them being his old girlfriend that left him without notice. Can he find a lasting girlfriend before Christmas eve in less than a month? A normal galge with a twist in form of blood type and horoscope. There is also "gears" system which calls to listen to the girl and make suitable for her actions during H scene, otherwise scene ends abruptly. Each girl has a different psychological problem that you need to cure. There are only four heroines and game is short. 12. Kimon Youitan 鬼門妖異譚 [000317] Cherry Soft The hero was living a normal school life, but recently some strance incident has happened around it. The hero has the blood of ancient demon flowing and thus he is chosen to stop the resurrection of "Kidon" that threatens Tokyo. Will you fight to destroy the threat or become a demon yourself and destroy humankind? There are story (AVG part) and battle (SRPG part) sections. Battles use anime'ish figures and animation. The "double" realease improved the SRPG part, but it still is unsatisfactory as a serious RPG. Balance gets a bit off closer to the ending. There are two different rountes - human and orge (demon). Ogre one has some dark H-scenes in it. Graphics of the game are mostly beautiful, yet specific, but gameplay makes this game just a good game, not a great one. 13. V.G. Adventure V.G. Adventure [000317] Giga A text-based adventure game featuring the V.G. waitresses. The player takes control of Tamao Mitsurugi as she attempts to locate the missing Yuka Takeuchi and foil Miranda's latest plot. Fights are executed in a rock-paper-scissors fashion. With each successful attack, energy is added to a super meter that appears under the fighter's lifebar. Once full, the fighter can unleash a powerfully (in most characters' cases) unblockable attack. While Tamao is the only playable character in the story mode, there is a CPU versus mode that allows the player to pick from any character in the game. Game is very short and can be finished in 30 minutes. Basically all the choices are fake ones and there's just one storyline. The core of the game is battles than need to be won for the story to go on. And inevitably there's a H scene after each win, so the overall impression of the game is just multiple consequent H scenes. 14. Yuki no Kanata ゆきのかなた [000317] Rune Hero was adopted by Takamori family at the age of 15 and he has no memory of previous years. Now he returns there after two years of absence and finds a lot of sisters-in-law. He also meets a girl with magic and gets involved in affairs of a mysterious organization. What is the mystery about hero's past? There are a lot of gaps in the story and the whole scenario holds on the fact that nothing about the mysteries gets explained. With each playthrough new path is opened. Hero is granted some powers, but he's afraid to used them because something bad may happen. Ending is not satisfactory as it hardly explains anything. It looks like one big imitation of Kizuato and MOON. It's generally a comedy. There are a lot of bad endings and a lot of insult scenes to moe characters. So evaluation mostly depends on whether you can bear with the cryptic scenario or not. 15. Infinity [000323] KID This is the first title completely created and produced by KID, origin of infinity series. The game features five scenarios, one for each main heroine. "Infinity Cure." features two new scenarios: 'Yuka Cure' and 'Cure Izumi'. All these scenarios are included in the game "Never7 -The End of Infinity-", with 'Yuka Cure' as an append story in the PC version. So this game is the prototype of Never7 - The End of Infinity. It shared the plot and the loop structure with it. First release could not be completed due to a bug. Besides that the true route after 4 usual routes is totally anticlimactic and underdone. KID admitted that and was selling Infinity for a very low price instead focusing on correcting mistakes in Never7 - The End of Infinity. 16. 4m [000324] Kurumi Our guy's high school friend asked him to help his sister. It seems that she lost all emotions after a car accident that killed her parents. He need to help her get back her happiness, anger, sadness and love. Can he do it? Game is not exactly a nukige, so I'll let it slip. This is a very cheap low quality game. The core of the game is helping the girl to regain four emotions. The nice thing about the game is that it's possible to teach these emotions in any proportions, like it's possible to grow a girl who is angry all the time. Scenario is short, and the few sub-characters that exist are unattractive. 17. Majokko★roid Kururu-chan 魔女ッ娘★ロイド クルルちゃん [000324] A2 Near future. It's the boom for androids and many schools have Muppet research clubs. At a certain high school famous for androids there is a war around elections of student council president. At worst case scenario strict regulations are going to be laid on android research. Main character is an android research club member with a strong sense of justice. These bakage have the most confusing synopsis. The story here is just one huge collapse, and the game is regarded as kusoge because of that everywhere. But the characters are quite nice. It's mostly a quiz game as the battles are arranged in that manner. But the problem is that quiz is very difficult and just outdated as mechanics from the 1980s-90s. 18. Puzzle de Maid パズルDEメイド [000324] Marimo Main character is lots in a forest. He encounters three maids who claim that hero can't leave the forest till he passes through all their challenges Basically just a tetris with modified rules with H adv events as reward. 19. Rebirth [000324] Pinpai 1 Main character is a seemingly ordinary university student who lives with his sister. But in fact he has only memory of recent events after he miraculously survived the car accident that took lives of his parents. He often sees a dream where an unknown woman "Chisa" calls him by an unfamiliar name. That woman strangely reminds him his sister. One summer hero gets invited to work as assistant to professor villa together with other students. However, it's not the professor who greets him, but a mysterious woman... There is an English review. 20. Silk Do~Ro しるくど～ろ [000324] Saba Princess Silk just reached adulthood. There's a legend that once per thousand years princess has to play a special game. If she looses the purity of her heart, then a demon will emerge and destroy the whole world. According to minister's calculation, this is exactly the year of the challenge. Princess Silk takes the road... Mini games are only triggered when Silk uses magic. There are chapters, but each chapter is short, and there are sudden H events that avert quite much. There is no real aim or intrigue. There's no enemy. The ending lacks expressive force. 21. Synchro シンクロ [000324] Sheep There are two stories linked by the same hero Azusa. In first story Azusa sees the same dream every day - her junior is depressed by her disappeared friend. With the cooperation of psychiatrists, Azusa approaches the identity of the criminal .... In the second story the theater department starts to use the stage of underground auditorium. However, suddenly they get cut off the exit trapped underground. The voice of the woman who disappeared last year starts to resonate in the air and the figure of the first victim appears... A horror adventure. Every mistake leads to a bad end. And it's impossible to assume where each choice leads by the variants. The scenarios are too shallow, the reading itself becomes a chore. There are a lot of insult H scenes. It's hard to say what developers were trying to make. The ending lacks any satisfaction except for that it's finally over with. 22. Yuugen Gaisha London Star ~Koi no Double Click~ 有限会社ロンドン☆スター ～恋のだぶるくりっく～ [000324] Ivory Our guy lives with his older sister. Since he doesn't have much to do while going to university, she found him a part time job at her best friend's company. It turns out there are 6 girls in that place, including his sister's best friend, the owner of that H game company(London Star). During two months work, he can chase a girl by helping her, if his personality matches the girl's. His personality is determined by some questions during game start, and affect by some in game choices. His older sister is one like none I have seen before in a H game. She plays the role usually a childhood girl would play, waking him up in the morning with real wrestling moves, especially if it is his turn to cook breakfast. Most unusual is that she is just there for support and can't be chased, unless you count the bad ending comfort part. Period is two months and majority of days there's no events, so pace is not good. There are six heroines and if you totally fail there is a comfort ending with the imouto. Notably there is autoplay feature. In the prologue there are choices that build up hero's personality and the suitable girl is mostly decided by his personality. Girls are grown-up eroge games production specialists and it's refreshing for a galge. 23. Dolls Front -Ningyou-tachi no Senjou- Dolls Front -人形達の戦場- [000330] Zombies Paradigm Twelve countries are fighting with their robotized armies in this world. Hero defeats the queen of one such country and gets a powerful black armor machine and the girl who serves as a key to using that machine. Main character will need to use all his wits and skills to conquer the world. A strategy with lots of insult scenes and not really appealing graphics. 24. EVE Zero EVE ZERO [000330] C's Ware "Eve Zero" is a prequel to the famous detective/mystery adventure Eve Burst Error. You control once again the two main heroes of the series: the witty and womanizing private investigator Kojiroh Amagi, and the beautiful red-haired secret agent Marina Hojo. The events of the game take place shortly before those of "Eve Burst Error". Kojiroh is working at Katsuragi Detective Office together with his girlfriend Yayoi. Dr. Nishina, the head of a genetic research facility, hires Kojiroh to investigate the disappearance of his son Shin. At the same time, Marina receives an assignment from her boss Kono, which involves watching over a representative of an American company. As in all EVE games, the two stories appear unrelated in the beginning and are gradually linked together later in the game. Ever wondered what was Marina's previous assignment, with whom did Kyoko Himuro work before, or what exactly happened to Genzaburo Katsuragi when he was still the chief of Katsuragi Detective Office? Cared to know more about the appealing protagonist, Kojiroh Amagi? "Eve Zero" gives the answers to those questions. Damn, I'm already playing EVE:TFA and it looks like EVE Zero should be played before it since in the last days there are links to events of EVE Zero. Anyway, from what I've seen already in EVE Zero it's definitely a masterpiece. But my full review of it along with video playthrough is pending. I won't get to next year till cover everything in 2000, so "sometime soon". 25. Power Pro Kun Pocket 2 パワプロクンポケット2 [000330] Konami The story moves to Power Pro Kun's professional team "Drill Moggers" unlike school team in the prequel. The stakes arise. This gameboy series does not spark me with enthusiasm. 26. Meitantei Conan: Kigantou Hihou Densetsu 名探偵コナン 奇岩島秘宝伝 [000331] Banpresto In this game you must play as Conan, Sonoko, and Kogoro, as they all obtain clues to solve the crime. Miki and Satomi Togawa from the previous game return. Gameboy detective series is an instant NO. 27. Fern ~Dakara Kimi no Koto~ fern ～だからきみのこと～ [000331] Apple Pie Two weeks till protagonist moves to Hokkaido university. The departure makes hero recognize the existence of his sister-in-law Nagisa once again as he needs a person to take care of the house. His feelings still linger for her. There are a lot of other nice characters around the hero at the university. A lot may happen in two weeks time. There are a lot of days when nothing happens and that only prolongs game unnecessarily. There are a lot of forced events involving Nagisa so it looks painful if you target girl other than Nagisa. But Nagisa concept is also blurred with a lot of other heroines added to the mix. Message speed is adjustable, but there is not skipping function - that kills repeatability. All operations are done with mouse only and there are multiple windows that keep moving. So quite a normal galge, but with really bad systems. 28. Girigiri Date ぎりぎりでぃと [000331] Active Main character has a date appointed with a girl at a hotel on the day she gets of legal age. However, he gets delayed at his part-time job and risks cancelling the date. By strange coincidence all the transport in the city starts to have huge problems. Hero needs to use train, bus, taxi, hitchhiking and just walking to get to his aim. Will he manage to arrive in time? Basically after prologue we get to choose the means of transportation and on the way experience multiple temptations. Contents is simple and each story is short, around an hour. There are seven girls overall. It's not blocked as nukige mostly because synopsis is quite neutral. 29. Niji no Arika 虹のありか [000331] Tea Project Hero graduates from high school at his home town and goes to Tokyo to realize his dream. However, he fails at that and has to return back to his home town. There he meets old acquaintances and discovers places and people he never knew. Scenario is inconsistent and quite short for every heroine. The otaku dreams theme is quite embarrassing. But what actually kills the game is bugs. Two patches are released to fix them, but only the tip of the iceberg is covered. Inability to save, freezes and slow text speed are just few of them. 30. Tenran no Natsu 天藍の夏 [000331] System Rose Hero is living alone in Tokyo and is persuaded to visit his home town by his mother. He will need to take care of parents' ryoukan for a month. He is surprised to find out that there are girls in his hometown waiting for him. There's a short scenario for each of the six girls. One playthrough is about 2 hours. Only three girls icons are shown on the map and the rest three are needed to discover yourself, but difficulty level is relatively low. Atmosphere is light and relaxed. But the number of H events is rather big, so it's a borderline work. 31. Zetsumetsu King -Seikimatsu Inran Kyousoukyoku- 絶滅キング-世紀末淫乱狂想曲- [000331] Jam Main character calls himself Extinct King (Zetsumetsu King) who has the power to destroy all life on Earth. He sets an aim to have sex with seven women in a month time, but alas he does not have the power to control the will of the girls, so he starts with nanpa. It's easy to confuse this game for a nukige, but it's actually a bakage with a lot of parodies. There is a Taito Era visual style everywhere even though the period is nowadays. Game is based on classmate, but the difficulty of the game is very high. There is a concept of time, the use of items, money, favorability rates, dating, presents etc, so it's a very difficult SIM that's not for everyone to crack. BLOCKED 1. Houtou Sennyo ~Amai Shiru no Yuuwaku~ 放蕩仙女 ～甘い汁の誘惑～ [000302] Megami Main character is an ordinary student. He dates a cute girl Nana for over a month, but they aren't even holding hands yet. One day a loli girl appears before him. She claims to be a goddess of love and sacrifice who came to help make his ambitions fulfilled. She passes him a pill saying that it will help make all the girls he likes belong to him. Nukige 2. Memories Natsuiro no Kioku Memories 夏色の記憶 [000303] Otemoto Parents go on a year long overseas business trip while main character stays to take care of his two sisters. And little by little desires of forbidden love awaken. Nukige 3. Seifuku Paradise 制服パラダイス [000303] Hyperspace Main hero has a uniform fetish. His hobby is to cosplay, visit cosplay events and make photos of cute girls for a cosplay specialized journal. It's every cosplayer girl dream to have a feature article in such a journal. And they agree on different conditions set by the main character for such a beneficial publication... Nukige 4. Inu 犬 [000310] D-XX A girl is dragged into the manhole to the sewers. She does not know anymore whether she's dead or alive, asleep or awake... what's the meaning of such life? Nukige 5. Maid Neko-san wa Ikaga Desu ka? ~Kikaijikake no Koi Monogatari~ メイドねこさんはいかがですか？～機械じかけの恋物語～ [000310] Masys One day during college 's summer vacation main character receives a huge baggage sent from his father. Inside is a a humanoid robot Ren with cat ears and a tail. It turns out she is constructed by hero's father and is sent for testing during 40 days. Despite being produced to handle maid duties, Ren has a lot of failures. But hero gets attached to her anyway. Nukige 6. Message ~Todoke Kono Omoi~ Message ～届けこの想い～ [000310] Waffle Main character scheduled to set on a night trip alone, but the information got leaked, and he ended up accompanied by six more boys and girls. They have to seek shelter at a certain mansion in the woods. They are greeted by the maid saying "I've been waiting for you for a long time". Thus their horror night began. Nukige 7. @Setsuzoku ＠セツゾク [000310] Spice Soft An adult simulation game that simulates surfing internet pornographic sites experience. More than 20 adult girls and 320 photos are presented. Nukige 8. Yoru ni Saku Hana 夜陰ニ咲ク華 [000310] Haoh Main character is rejected by Satoko without explaining the reason. In order to forget about the girl he sets off to an outlying prostitution island that is not listed in travel guides. Nukige 9. Para Para ぱらパラ [000310] Studio B-Room Main character fails during his first experience with childhood friend Ringo. It was Ringo's mother Momoko who helped him during this depressing time. The relationship becomes more and more awkward as physical relations with Momoko continue at the same time that protagonist dates Ringo. Nukige 10. Natural Petit ナチュラル プチ [000322] Fairytale A fandisc with promo materials for Natural 2 game and lots of information on original Natural game: wallpapers, system voice collection, capture hints, heroines library room and staff corner. Fandisc 11. Baby Face Baby Face ～ベビーフェイス～ [000324] Oz Project 1 The hero here is a loser guy (who resembles the infamous Isaku) who flunked the college entry exam for the 3rd year running. He is not the "In" kind of person and does not know what's fashionable or not. His every attempt to search for a female companion ended up with the female party calling him "Disgusting!","Pervert!" etc... Being such a loser, he decided to commit suicide one summer, but he is not satisfied with going without enjoying the ultimate life experience in life, that is "Encounter With The Female Kind!" And he is going to do it the crooked way, by being a tutor to young females, gaining the trust of his students, and finally.... Nukige 12.

When I'm writing something like this I'm always a bit afraid that I'm overhyping it and setting people up for disappointment, because how you respond to this kind of story is probably very much a personal matter. But Analogue is definitely much more than it seems at first glance. I still have to play through Love's first VN, Digital: A Love Story, which is pretty much a text game in a retro internet browser stylistics, but also gets a lot of praise. Minimalism seems to be her default style.

I didn't knew that such a powerful story was hidden behind a simple interface like this. Interesting.

-----so what?

Remember the ladybug who devoted all its energies into the fulfillment of destiny

Well, from what I understand not at all. So I think you could just play whatever order that you want to play in regard of Chrono Clock, and coincidentally I did playthrough that almost like your plan - I'd already finished both of DD's and Misaki's (Her name was not Mikoto for the info), and right now stalled in Makoto's route. Have fun. PS - By the way, in regard of Miu let me give a hint that I did called the prologue as 'Miu arc' and Miu's route as 'Miu's end'. Find out the reason by yourself.

Only a visual novel which fails to portray any kind of romance through words is better when having h scenes. But if the h scenes are tasteless and completely out of context then they're terrible no matter how you look at it.

Wooooooo, first blog entry! Welcome to the otomege and BL paradise on Fuwa! Let's discuss new games and old games, and maybe bring new people to enjoy our little (in Fuwa at least we are the minority...) world! I planned to starting writing next week, but you know what? I found out that some BL developers are actually releasing games this year! (The majority of them loves to make teasers with no release date whatsoever, you know who I'm talking about...), so the hype made me change my plans. Note that those some of those are japanese releases, but I guess it'll not be a problem for some and the rest of you need to know some new names to beg MG to localize right? Or just look at the CGs, no japanese required for that. (Warning: if you click around too much in the companies' website link I provided below you'll probably find something NSFW, like the CGs from the game, so be careful!) So. We have Fukushuu Teikoku, from newcomers Fetish. It tells the story of Wilfried Helmut, a guy that makes a deal to seduce some key players in the enemy's army to clean his name. Contains sexual slavery (MC doing it), hypnotism and lots of army uniforms, if anyone is interest in a more dark feel. It's at least interesting that's possible to coerce some guys that are more "manly" than the MC. No big names in the team, but the seiyuu of the bara guy also voiced Mink from DMMD, in case anyone liked his voice. Another title is Paradise, from Pil/Slash of Pigeon Blood (in)fame, coming tomorrow, yay! Guys win some dreamy trip to a tropical island, but then something happens... If you played danganronpa 2, you know that you CAN'T trust that people will be friends forever while trapped on a island. And, knowing Pil/Slash, expect something really really weird to happen! But they usually do a good job handling horror themes, and this project is a collaboration with LOVE&DESTROY, the dj circle that made Cage Open, so they have experience with trapped scenarios. Unlike Fukushuu above, this MC is always bottom. A shame, considering that in Shingakkou the pairings were reversible. This is the one I'm hyped the most! If you want something in english, I hope you like entering some weird mansions. MG released the english version of Hadaka Shitsuji back in October, so you can already read this insane black comedy with no mosaics at all. This game is pretty infamous, and full of sadism, but it does have some merits. One guy made pretty much everything here, and he made sure that every little weird fetish he have is there. There's big and small guys, short and long haired, bright and gloomy, just pick you favorite and prepare to be on top! Noteworth: male ahegao is da best. But if you want to be sadistic with the master of the mansion too, and not just the poor butlers, you can try Beyond Eden, also available on Steam! And you can also practice your korean, since it have korean voice acting. This MC here is the only reversible of the bunch I said. The year didn't ended yet, so there's still time for Full Service full version and Luckydog1 sequel to come out! When? We'll see (or not). And wait. All of these games are a bit... weird? What other people will think of us???? Maybe I should have look to some fluffy stuff too... Anyway, what about you guys? Know a title I overlooked? Share with me! ^.^ Next week, otomege's hype for 2018. See you there!

Aoi Tori is Purple Soft's latest project, a VN based in a girls' school in the mountains, where the protagonist, a priest (I'm assuming Episcopalian/Anglican for various reasons), goes to school as an exception, as he cannot live outside of the school without being taken by demons. Ritsu, the protagonist, possesses the power to take others' negative emotions, thus enhancing their feelings of happiness and joy, and this power works best when he has sex with them. Now, given that he is a young man, you'd think from this description that he was going around finding girls that were in trouble and 'saving' them that way... given eroge culture. However, if anything, it is the reverse... girls that are desperate to escape their personal reality come to him, seeking the happiness he can give, and he has reduced himself to something like an automatic mechanism for giving them what they want. To be blunt, his point of view seems very close to that of a lifelong prostitute, save for the miraculous ability he possesses... moreover, a prostitute who didn't choose the work (his first experiences were all oneshota, apparently). One day, his monotonous days of sex and quiet prayer (it sounds odd, but outside of school, that is pretty much what it was like), a century-old vampire named Mary Harker appears before him, having intruded into his home behind the chapel, and he lets her stay out of kindness. At the same time, a voice (referred to as the 'demon on the phone') tells him over the phone that he has a rather dark fate awaiting him and his power isn't what he thinks it is. This night is closely followed by a number of meetings and reunions... a devout girl with a self-destructive streak a mile wide (Akari), the young teacher who stole his virginity (Risa), and the twin sister he never knew he had (Sayo). In addition, you have Mikako, who is Risa's sister and Ritsu's only friend... and who is a genius as well as a pragmatist. Overall, it is an interesting cast of characters, even for a Purple Soft game. I'm going to be blunt, the part that will put off at least some of you is the sheer amount of sex in the first part of the VN. The game begins with two h-scenes, neither of which involves affection or love, and, while this is a good intro into Ritsu's situation, it also will probably drive the romantics amongst you a bit crazy, judging by my previous experiences. So... if you can't stand a protagonist who doesn't bother refusing sex from women and is used to having sex with girls he doesn't know, you probably won't like this game. That said, there are relatively few similar h-scenes after this, probably in order to keep you from getting too swallowed up by his attitude toward sexual activity. Ritsu is a rather strange young man, even setting aside his destined role as the Prince of Darkness (Mary's term for it). As the demon on the phone puts it, 'You are a madman who can only be satisfied by saving others.' That fits him perfectly, and that part of his personality never really goes away. He is fundamentally a giver, above all other things. Even if he can be convinced by the heroines to be selfish in the now, when things come to a climax, he always falls back on that nature. He is also a natural S and a hedonist (though he is not conscious of this most of the time), and he doesn't have it in him to become paranoid or maintain his anger for long. That said, once he decides on the result he wants, he will literally do anything to achieve it. Mary Harker Mary Harker, in any other game, would be the true heroine. I don't mean to be mean about Akari... she is creepy has hell sometimes, despite her apparent normality (you'll see what I mean if you actually read the first two h-scenes), but if I began this game without a walkthrough or seeing the cover of the game package, I probably would have assumed she was the true heroine. The reason is very simple... she is the catalyst that sparks the game's engine at the beginning, and, given eroge custom, that heroine usually is the true one. Now, her personality... Mary is probably the most cheerful and normal vampire I've seen outside of a 'nerfed' vampire setting (this one isn't, since just a bite is enough to turn someone and she takes injuries from her own prayers and the sun). Nonetheless, she has lived a century, and that has had various effects on her psyche, though the biggest one is a growing awareness that maintaining her humanity and human persona is becoming harder and harder. It is only because of Ritsu that she is able to have some kind of a hope for the future, and she is pretty dependent on him during the story. Despite that, she is also sort-of an oneesan character outside of her own path. She does have a lot of experience under her belt, and her attitude toward him at some times skirts the motherly. Her own path is... a clash of two people destined to live in darkness, her and Ritsu. They are both people who don't understand romantic love at the beginning, so seeing them change is somewhat amusing, but the bigger issue is that their natures press down on them, making a happy romance difficult. Overall, it was a highly emotional experience that I enjoyed thoroughly. I do wish - as I almost always do - that she had a nice long epilogue after story, but I have resigned myself to not receiving what I wish for most of the time, when it comes to that. Akasabi Risa and Akasabi Mikako Akasabi Risa was the protagonist's first sexual partner. Like all the girls who had sex with him in the past, she was seeking escape from reality by having him give her happiness, but she, unlike the others, was actually in love with him from the beginning. Risa is a consummate actress, hiding her true intentions behind her feelings, a technique she apparently developed in the years she was away from Risa. She is also essentially a 'giver' type, willingly giving everything for those she cares about. Mikako is a pretty unusual character. If it weren't for her fondness for Ritsu and her love for Risa, I would be tempted to call her an emotionless sociopath, based on her surface actions. I called her a pragmatist above, but this isn't despite her emotional reactions... it is her natural state of being. Pragmatism is usually a product of socialization and rationality being prioritized over emotion. However, in Mikako's case, she is able to (and does so automatically) completely analyze and render meaningless her emotions before they reach the surface. Her love for Risa is pretty much the only exception, and it is that emotion that renders her as almost human (her fondness for Ritsu exists because she loves Risa and Risa loves him). Now, the demon on the phone takes on a rather more direct role in this story than in Mary's, where he/she is merely speaking to the characters. In fact, the demon's interference is what brings this path's conflict to the surface, and overall, it made this path more interesting than it otherwise would have been. To be blunt, without the demon's 'help', it is highly unlikely that Risa, Mikako, and Ritsu would get together, based on the revelations in this path. There are a number of reasons, but the biggest one lies with the fact that Ritsu quite simply doesn't have strong emotions toward his sexual partners normally (once he actually loves them, it is different)... not even remnant lust. Kurosaki Sayo Kurosaki Sayo is Ritsu's twin, separated from him at birth. She is a cynical, emotionally twisted young girl whose only love is Ritsu (though she does have affection for others based on whether they make Ritsu happy or not) and whose hobby is toying with him and Mary. She appears on the scene shortly after Mary's arrival, guided by the demon on the phone. She is also a part of the demons' plans for him, and that plan is the center of her path. This path is an utsuge-style path... don't expect a happy ending. There is a good reason why Sayo was given to a different orphanage by their mother, and that reason becomes apparent fairly early after Ritsu chooses her. I enjoyed this path and it has some really good cathartic moments... but I honestly thought they were a bit excessively obvious in foreshadowing this one. Afterwards (read this if you don't mind a bit of spoilers) Remember, this is a spoiler. As techniques go, it is interesting, and I felt the need to mention it before Akari's path because of how it leads into it. Umino Akari Akari is... the girl whose outer personality and inner desires are most in conflict. Akari is a devout Christian (Ritsu's assessment), kind-hearted, gentle, and takes pleasure in giving of herself to others. However, she is also strongly driven to seek out danger, corruption, and self-destruction in every way, shape, and form. As one of the milder examples... she is afraid of heights but she willingly participates in the school swim club's high dive competition. A more extreme version is the one you run into at the beginning, in the first scene, where, after watching her friend have sex with Ritsu, she is drawn to him and has sex with him as well. Akari's path is... interesting. Actually, the beginning of the path is slow, because the story refrains from going to the extremes you saw in the common route and the other paths. However, that slow build up is a near-perfect lead into the solid drama leading up to the ending. There is actually very little I can say about this path without spoiling it, but I can say that I liked the ending. I cried numerous times throughout the path, and the ending itself satisfied me completely, a rare event in and of itself. One thing I should note is that there is a distinct Chrono Clock reference in this path, which startled me a bit. It was actually a stronger link than the mention of the kotodama-users early in the common route. For those who are interested, I'll respond in a PM, but I'm unwilling to spoil this. I did laugh though. I'm unsure if this is an affectation or not, but it is interesting. Overall I'm seriously tempted to scream 'kamige!!!' to the sky... but in retrospect, they game does have some distinct flaws. The main one of these is the somewhat haphazard approach to the beginning of Risa's path (it felt kind of like they were shoving things along a little too forcefully in that one). However, even so this is one of the better games that have come out this year, and, in its own way, keeps the Purple Soft fantasy nakige tradition started with Mirai Nostalgia alive and kicking. Where Chrono Clock fizzled and Amatsutsumi committed the sin of using the ladder-style progression system, this game manages to both satisfy and feel like it treats the non-true heroines well.

Sorry to hear that :/ ...

Oh that reminds me I really need to start back up with Flowers again it's been a minute since I've played it. That is cool though so far I have really enjoyed my time with the VN. Personally I started liking yuri related things since I watched Strawberry Panic. Anyway I played the demo and here are some of my thoughts. What are your opinions about the moe archety- *cough cough* girls? They seem pretty cute and I was able to get a feel for their personalities almost immediately. I like the dynamic between the four of them as well. - What are your first impressions about the demo? Um, I think it has a lot of potential to be something great. It seemed pretty rough though and also quite short. - What are your opinions about the drawings, scriptwriting, or/and the music? The art style was easily the best part of the demo and I really liked the character designs. The script writing though needs quite a bit of work, especially right after the choice of being honest. It felt really abrupt and didn't seem natural at all. It felt weird to start off the story on the roof right when Hiyoko is deciding on whether she should spill the beans or not. It might have been better to have it start right before her incident. Also I noticed there were quite a few grammar errors in the story as well. That being said it's a start! I thought the music was also pretty decent. - What do you think we should improve more in each aspects of the demo? Polish up the grammar? Other than that I think it is a solid enough baseline to work with. It also drew more of my interest which is what a demo is made for in the first place. - Have any place where we can reach more like-minded yuri fans? I have no idea. All in all I thought it was a nice effort and I am definitely interested in watching how it progresses. I hope you guys get funded! Oh on a different note you should check out this yuri manga called Bloom into you/Yagate Kimi ni Naru I think you might like it.

And so this tale comes to an end... Give him a proper burial. He fought until the end.

Now, sorry for the double posting, but I do NOT recommend you to: 1 - wait for KnS3 as is will probably never come, as the company is still releasing Flowers and stated that will finish it before doing KnS3 2 - read Umineko as "something in between", as Umineko is very time and thought demanding to just read

To answer your questions: 1) The 'core' story of Majikoi S assumes you did not get together with any of the heroines from Majikoi. Majikoi S starts with a short common route that introduces new characters and plotpoints. From there, it branches out into a bunch of different routes. 2) Majikoi A routes take place during or after Majikoi S. They are, essentially, extra routes for Majikoi S (though they're better routes, from what I've seen thus far). 3) By extension, no. A-2 does not follow from A-1. The routes in any given fandisk have no connection to each other. Each route assumes nothing in another route took place. It only assumes Majikoi's S common route to have taken place. Sometimes, it continues off of some path in Majikoi S. Said routes will generally contain a brief introduction contextualising us. Here's my earlier explanations on this topic, if you still have questions:

Top 5, starting from the best: 1. Maki Izumi 2. Akino Hana 3. Mizukiri Keito (I find that her voice sounds really natural) 4. Fujimori Yukina 5. Toono Soyogi (because of Yume) Pending: Haruka Sora (I've barely read anything with her in it so far)

wb to idol hell Tyrael ~~ Jeez, already we're at the next event, and we have a nice 7pm PST start time #nomoreawkwardlystayingupforevents?? Finally a token event, so some of you might have seen my Full Combo EX spam, I'm pretty pro now i guess I remember some older EX songs like Anone Ganbare, Pure Girls Project, even Susume Tomorrow being absolutely impossible but ever since getting exposed to Masters they're child's play. ...Except Magnetic Today and Binetsu Kara Mystery, the former i still always get at least one miss on the last onslaught of notes and Mystery is just BS where i either pass the two single note spams only to fail the double half moon spam right after or vice versa ._. ~~ Here's me FC'ing all the Happy Train Rs at the same time btw. I derped the screen orientation because #firsttimerecording but it's the audio that matters

Finally received these in the mail \o/ (1 nsfw item)

The patch is in the final state of debugging, so it should be out soon-ish. Hopefully within a month. As for what they did to replace the 18+ scenes, they created entierly new all-ages replacement scenes, and I have heard they are actually quite good. In fact, most people seem to say that reading both the 18+ ver. and the all-ages ver. of said scenes would be the best solution, as each version of the scenes adds something the other does not. If you are so hyped you don't feel like waiting anymore, I'd say just read the steam version, then go back for the 18+ scenes when the patch is out. You shouldn't miss out on much at all, as everything except H-scenes and straight up nudity is still 100% intact in the steam ver. And you will be seeing the all-ages replacement scenes in the place of 18+ scenes, so you'll actually be reading some unique stuff you wouldn't see if you just read the 18+ ver. I'm personally going to wait for the patch, then read the all-ages scenes after, but there is nothing wrong with doing it the other way if you are tired of waiting.

In order to buy on amazon.co.jp's kindle store, you need to use a japanese vpn/proxy once (but only once). Go to amazon.co.jp with a proxy/vpn, buy a book (for example you can take a free book like 人間失格) in Kindle版 that you'll forward to your kindle app, and then you should be able to buy books and manga on the japanese kindle store even without vpn/proxy later. I registered my amazon.co.jp account on the kindle app when I did that, so I don't know if it'll work with your portuguese account but you can always try it out.

my first VN was harem party (i didn't know what nukige was at that time o_o)

Its not that they treated incest as taboo. But that point was bluntly repeated over the course of 5 hours. Further they didn't actually face any taboo's from society, mainly just from his mom (who married a guy 30 years her senior) and the nurse. As for character depth, take characters from VN's such as fate, ef, or grisaia and you will be able to analyse them deeply in several ways. They are deep multi-faceted characters. Konami's entire depth is that she loved her dad, which was then passed on to her brother. And she teases him. Thats literally it. [Read - She has as much depth as a brick] Not very good for a 5+ hour route at all. If you want to see a much more realistic VN that gives you "there will always be adversity", check out ef. As for "pure love makes everything all right", it's not that it's a bad thing per say, but it just seems to be used as a justification for everything nowadays. It would have been much more interesting if the public judged them harshly, they were forced to break up, yet they stayed together despite the scorn they received. Further, this kind of open ending is one of my biggest pet peeves for VN's (though this is a personal thing, maybe not an actual flaw). Unlike an anime, which you finish in a few hours, a VN is a large time investment where you dedicatedly follow the path of a character. An open ending is the easy way out when you don't want to write a harsh ending so you just leave it up to the reader. Further, characters are there but unused, such as Tina, in other routes pointless events are created literally so that she has some meagre purpose. In this aspect VN's like Majikoi, with an unbelievably varied and deep cast is far superior. I actually liked konami in every route that wasn't hers. Its just that the writing made me feel they had some idea for a plot, but wanted to make it several hours long so repeated the same thing (the taboo relationship) for several hours, and then (even though by then you may have stopped caring) leave it with an open ending that tells you nothing, but "let's see what the future brings us" (seriously cheap shit)
