This week, Jared and I are back in the world of otome. I break down the plot of Charade Maniacs, try and talk about all the datables (but there are too many and I forgot things!), discuss what they did right and what they got very wrong, and overall lament my time with the game.

This week, Jared and I talk about a unique otome game that combines theater kids, romance, and rhythm game mechanics into one–Jack Jeanne. We talk about the overarching story, the different routes, and why I think this is one of the best otome games I’ve played in a while.

This week, Jared and I go to the CIRCUS! We talk about Radiant Tale, a game where you join a circus, date a dragon, and learn the ultimate solution to negative emotions.

This week, Jared and I get to chat about an otome game where you date dudes made of objects, one route has you dodging syphilis, and somehow this game landed a T rating despite the wild amounts of violence and sexual content. Neat!

This week, Jared and I reach an important moment in the world of otome. We chat about Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei, and I talk about the many reasons why this game just didn’t hit for me.

Since Valentine’s Day was this week, Jared and I decided to talk about Lover Pretend, an otome game where you fall in love with dudes as you work on a movie set trying to find out who your dad is. We talk about the awkward moments, some of the great stuff this game does, and why the last route just shouldn’t exist.

This week, Jared and I talk about Bustafellows, a game I started in 2021, but I wasn’t able to finish for a few reasons. This time, I completed it, and so we chat about the dudes, found family, the wild ass story, and how it became a top tier otome game on my list.

This week, Jared and I chat about an otome game I played last year, and we discuss how they fumbled what could have been a cool plot device, why some of the datables were insufferable, why eight dudes is too many dudes, and whether or not the big finale actually mattered at all.

This week, Jared and I are returning to 1920s Italy to talk about a sequel to an otome game that I loved. We talk about the stories for the route, why this game was a disappointment to me, and see where it ranks on my list of otome compared to the first game.

Valentine’s Day is coming, and love is in the air! That means it’s time for another otome episode! This week, we chat about Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani, where you play as a new agent who helps out supernatural beings…and dates them. (And her boss) I talk about the routes, how much I enjoyed the side characters, and how the whole time I just kept wanting to get to the Semi route to see what would make him finally open his eyes.
