Thank you for the videos! I'm watching through them right now. I hope you have a nice day!
I've recently found the Breaking💔Up series and have really been enjoying learning about these games I never would have heard of if not for this channel! This game was so fascinating, definitely a product of its time but I liked the art and the setting being a university. I loved the girls' "bad ends" and I'm going to imagine that they all came true and they stayed away from Namil!
Thank you so much for watching! Dating Sims set in universities are really rare, and there are some games where the protagonist is university student that dates(or in eroge, worse.) middle to high school girls. Bishoujos over 18 are too old for the genre it seems. The girls should stay away from Namil as far as possible. The stuff with Aeran was like, ugh girl just leave.
I'm late to this but where have u been my whole life oh my gOD!!! Your channel is amazing and I can't wait to binge videos about my extremely niche interests in my own language!!! <3 <3 <3
Better late than never! I'm just so glad this place is getting some kind of reach after these years.
oh my god I was not expecting a dating sim to have a dialogue system eerily similar to the elder scrolls oblivion
Inscrutable and less effective than normal dialogue options just like it was in Oblivion!
"Please, tell me more!" Gotta admit that persuasion mini-game was pretty addicting. And the potato facial expressions lol
I think this might be because of my fondness for Persona 1, but Shou made me think of Reiji Kido. Mostly through character visuals and the fact that they are both delinquents. I do enjoy the art as a whole, it’s grounded just enough where you don’t strange character proportions but small details are stylized just enough to be recognizable. Great video!
Back in the days there was a wave of MC x Nanjo or Brown and sometimes Kido doujinshis that I knew their names even before playing Persona. I think Mikimoto's art has that universal charm that can be accepted anywhere and at any time period.
Wait. Plus is a *scenario maker / campaign editor*?! We need to see how this works.
They did some advertising, but sadly it was never released.
I cant even lie, i'd 100% play this game if it was an otome purely because suzuki totally looks like my favorite archetype lol
Satoru def. fits into the 'wears makeup, cross dresses, and flirts with MC cuz he's so confident with his straight sexuality' description.
Will you be doing Amagami this christmas?
Very appropriate, but not this year.
Too glad to have two videos in so little time!! I don't know how, but I felt a weird sexism vibe the moment I saw that the girl everyone wanted to date liked rock and mma... like of course she wouldn't like awful girly things, she's too cool for that. (She's wearing a cute bow tho) I'm not getting along with the vibe of the game, but I was never interested by the work of this artist before. It's gorgeous! I think it might be my favorite graphics in everything you reviewed so far! Kinda want to open aseprite to "getting heavily influenced" by his work!
On average I think it's not any more sexist than other Japanese Dating Sims or game featuring Bishoujos. But that Food Stand event ew Good thing Mikimoto is a prolific artist so there will be lots and lots of reference! He has this distinctive watercoloury vibe; it's def. a good challenge recreating that in sprite art.
That's too bad about the game as a whole, the artstyle really is great.
Some games really do feel that way.
The art does look really nice, it's a shame that the gameplay looks less fun than the last game you did. The delinquent guy was cute too. I wish there would be more romantic endings with guy friends in dating sims but those are pretty rare
At the very least they had CG events and endings. Some Dating Sims have dudes as half the main cast that don't even have endings.
Thanks for the videos! I tried this game seeing you were going to review and didn't quite like as much as Hoshi no Oka. I was especially butthurt that Akane had no route: you just can't have an oohhohhohhooing ojou-samasshole and not give her an ending! I even remember True Love Story 2 having a similar scenario. Geez...well, at least I can check out that unused ending you told about.
There's this event CG with younger Akane and the protagonist and I couldn't for the love of my life get to see it. According to the person who saw it it's super rare since Affection raises randomly between 1~5 when talking to her in lunch sessions. And there's no way of checking her stats via Yuka since Akane's a side character. Tried three times and had to give up T_T At least someone cared enough to upload the deleted endings. Mikimoto fame ftw
My favourite Orikasa Ai roles are her "ara ara" roles See Ayame Fujieda, Fuala Griffon, Saya (from Namco x Capcom)
Is that how Fuala is spelled in English? Looks like Koala.
@bapsago I don't make the rules, but at least it's consistent with her katakana ファラ
Don't have anything interesting to say atm but great video as usual :)
WHOA I got linked to this and I can't believe I hadn't found this channel sooner!! I've been looking for more otome/dating sim game reviewers but youtube's algorithm kept trying to re-direct me to think-pieces discrediting the genre </3 I have a backlog to catch up on it seems!!
Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but there's nothing to discredit about the genre. In fact, one of the reasons I made this channel is because of the 'ha ha dating sims funny lulz' narrative I keep on seeing. And I bid you welcome to this secluded place! Hope you enjoy my stuff. My channel's small so it doesn't really get caught in the algorithm, except that one time I featured a butt in the thumbnail. TH-cam, man.
Rewatching this video as usual and fantasizing about the dating sim of my dream with this game At the end section you talk how Capcom is too big now to take risk, I'm reminded that in SF6, the single player campaign is the same as Nekketsu ! 😮 except the dating sim aspect is just the fighter texting you 😢 but mayhap in the future the Nekketsu series will finally make a comeback as a fully realize fighting/dating sim game ! Maybe Darkstalker could have a new entry in that fantasical future too!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😢😢😢
Finally you can make the playable character look super weird but we can't date any of the fighters boo I say. A Darkstalkers Dating Sim would have the most diverse romantic interests ever. Back in the days I was confused cuz Aulbath/Rikuo looked so handsome yet he's a fish lol
There is so much skintone diversity omg? How have we fallen so far from grace 😭
The 90's had a staple of red haired, dark skinned Bishojos. They're pretty much gone now T_T
고등학교 축제......있기는 있었는데 그냥 학년별로 운동장에서 체조하는걸 선생님들이 단상 위에서 구경한다든지(초등학교 운동회냐) 전교생 강당으로 모이게 해 연극공연을 보게 한 다든지(물론 부활동 따위 없는 학교여서 연극부가 있을 리도 만무하므로, 그냥 학생회 애들이 몇 년째 똑같은 대본으로 서툰 연기하는걸 강제관람하는 거였습니다) 고3때는 당연히 '축제? 니들이 그럴 때냐?'라고 대놓고 말하며 그냥 하루종일 자습시킨다든지 하는 추억만 남아있군요. 차라리 그냥 하지 말지;;; 나중에 대학교도 축제 재미없는 걸로는 명문인 곳에 들어가 뭐 할 것도 없어 동아리 사람들이랑 술이나 마신 걸로 보아 그냥 제 사주팔자에 축제운은 없었던듯요. 게임 캐릭터들 예쁘게 잘 그렸네요. 중간에 '어 이거 우루시하라 사토시...' 했는데 역시나 저만 그렇게 생각한게 아니었군요ㅋㅋㅋ 근데, 첫 데이트에 여동생들 데려갔다 남친한테 채인 가난한집 처자...잘 생각해보면 그 남친이 여동생들 데려온거 보고 기뻐하는게 백만 배쯤 위험한거 같으니 오히려 다행이지 않나 싶습니다.
아니 체조하는걸 왜 구경해요ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 게다가 고등학생들을.. 자습시키는건 너무하네요 그냥 하루 쉬라고 등교시키지 않던가 하지. 한국은 (제 기준)공부 잘 할 수록 손해라니까요 괜히 임원 시키고 임원들은 하기도 싫은 연극이나 해야 하고.. 학부모는 선생한테 잘 보이려고 이런저런 행사에 공짜로 봉사해야 하고.. 지금은 어떻게 바뀌었을지는 모르겠지만요. 아직도 성적만능주의이니 그렇게 차이는 없을 것 같기도. 보통 저런 상황에선 남친이 극단적이게 나쁘게 나오는 경우가 많은데 저건 그래도 평범한 이유로 헤어져서 그럴듯하다 생각했습니다. 실은 여동생들이 더 귀여워서 나중에 꼬셔보려고 찼다 생각하면 더러운 로리콘이 되는 거지만..
In my school in Miami we had something called the urban art show where all the students in the school had to do an exhibition with their majors. Such as short animated films, plays, and art exhibitions of their work. So I definitely relate to the setting up process. The gameplay in this game looks really fun, the art and graphics look good, and the music in the back if its from this game sound pretty catchy! I'm also surprised this game not only has 1 tan girl, but two! I always appreciate dating sims that the mechanics go a little more above and beyond than normal.
Imagine you just want to play sports but required to build an entire food stand for a month. I assume it's voluntary. (But there's always peer pressure) The game's quite addicting and yes, the music's quite catchy! I too was impressed that this game had surprisingly more tan girls than an average Dating Sim(which is as you know not a lot). Shouko's a bit more tanned compared to other girls, too.
Having had to do something similar in high school (science festival), man it was a tiring month of preparations, but the memories really do stick for long time! It's intresting how being in the future seems to not affect the plot at all!
The memories did stick for me as well, but not necessarily good ones 😅 I did learn to opt out of these stuff as convincingly as possible lol I guess in order to make the state-of-the art Network Machine convincing it really had to be set in the future. Oh and the Science Club made a robot I guess.
27:11 Nice
Mandatory Pretty Boy Crossdressing!
This seems more like a raising up game than a breaking up game. The developers were more focused on the gameplay than the characters lol.
At least the developers did a good job on the other stuff. Maybe they got tired after the character design stage.
Too bad about the characters, the time-management stuff sounds fun and (kinda) well-balanced in this one. I might still try it out myself regardless.
It's a very doable game. And I don't say that a lot for the games in the this channel 😆
I clicked so fast omg
Your reviews are extremely pleasant and refreshing. I hope you keep up this great work for people interested in obscure retro games like these. This is an excellent form of preserving history.
1:29 : THAT GAME! i'm french and it was part of the Léa Passion series of games (which were from a myriad of sources). It's the cooking game, I think in english it's the Imagine Games
Wow, they even changed the in-game graphics for the cooking game. The original Komugi-chan is way cuter though.
@@bapsago ouch, i didn't know about the downgrade :( that's sad
@@MissSun23 Looked further into it; seems like Imagine Happy Cooking/Master Chef kept the original design. Happy Cooking(without the Imagine title) was the one with the different looking Komugi and Usa-chan, but in fact she was a completely different person called Lisa. So you didn't lose anything in terms of aesthetics, hehe. Sorry about that.
Thank you for your work! Please continue to play and translate Angelique. ^^
I know it took forever for the first game to get a full fan translation, but I'm still really hoping that this one gets one, too.
afaik, it's currently in WIP. But tkmk2 has WAY more text than the first one, so that will take lot more effort on the translation team's part. Only if we could get an official localization..
Great video! I would love to try out the Mangaka game myself and while it does seem easy, I'm also used to reading kanji so I might have to read the sentences out loud to understand them. I think my partner would also like playing the vet one. By the way, I would love to hear your thoughts on Fabstyle. I was thinking of getting the 3ds version to play sometime. Funnily enough, Ruby Party games which are known to be a programming mess to crack, was the first one to be fully cracked and have a half complete english translation.
WanNyan Animal Hospital can be interesting since the pet treatments do require a bit of strategy, but the overall grinding from pet treatment to the Ratings Stat really takes a lot of fun out of it. Fab Style has a translation?! Hope it will be finished. I consider it an Otome game set in modern Japan but with Hollywood film vibes. And not a lot of Japanese dating sims have a half-black romantic interest, so that was interesting.
Great video! I would have enjoyed these games as a kid if it was translated into English. I just wanted to share that Wan Nyan Pet Shop: Kawaii Pet to Fureau Mainichi was translated into English as Pups & Purrs Pet Shop on the Nintendo Switch. 🙂

아 드디어 제가 국산 게임들 할 때마다 끼워넣으려 하는 야인시대 네타를 언급해 주신 분이! 감동받았습니다.
Kouichi Hive rise!!! He's my favorite from TMGS3 and was my favorite overall until I played 4 and I got Nana brainrot BAD. I keep meaning to play 3 again and target Niina. I follow a lot of TMGS fan artists and some of their art had me intrigued.
I enjoy Isekai like it's just fun and mindless and as an adult who wants to run away from all my responsibilities it tickles a very specific part of my brain. The Twelve Kingdoms has always been a favorite but I like typical trash like Konosuba lol. Lately I've been more into Isekai like 高度に発達した医学は魔法と区別がつかない where the main character actually contributes something plus the art is super gorgeous. And omg otome gamers are SO serious about no queerness in their games to the point where I am baffled. I am aware of the history of otome games and defend the genre's distinction as well but there were upset fans when Tengoku Struggle came out because an LI was a sex worker in his past and since it included male customers some felt it was a betrayal.
I read Twelve Kingdoms because of the cover art, and the things I remember was that the fact babies grow from trees are hilarious and the writer was a Reinhardt(from Galactic Heroes) fangirl. Probably was too young for it. Like I said in the video, I absolutely don't mind the Otome protagonist making her(the player's) decision to romance another female character, but that doesn't seem to sit well with some Otome gamers. As for BL in Otome, when I see BL doujin between the romanceable characters in Otome games I too scratch my head. But it's fanwork so anything can go. I do find it a problem in games like St.Valentine school(a BL game) where the romantic interests completely ignore the protagonist to do their own fluff cutesy BL stuff amongst themselves. But being annoyed by an ex-sex worker character who had rando male customers? That's intolerant imo Then again, I remember male Otaku having a book burning event for Kannagi because it was revealed Nagi was not a virgin -_-
@@bapsago absolutely agree! And lol at that being what you remember from Twelve Kingdoms. Idk I am a hardcore fan for the series but it also is a Isekai that doesn't operate as an escape like she was basically dropped in hell but it's a story of self discovery and finding your inner strength. And yeah it's strict over here in otome world sometimes and like the crops are dying let's try to remix things sometimes. Idk if you've played Chou no Doku but I remember being thrown for a loop when I saw a female character was listed as a target character although to call her that is giving a lot lol. But still it was interesting and it made sense for the story!
I use September 4th for Shiori's birthday and basically any birthday selection in galge especially Princess Maker because that's Beyoncé's birthday 😅
When I played Tokimeki Restaurant and Fab Style, I named the player & business name Beyonce and Blue Ivy lol
I want all these games in english...sigh i love the aesthetic and stories. The gameplay is fun too.
그거 생각나네요. 어릴 때 친척 누나들이랑 종이 인형(이라기 보다는 사람 그림 쪼가리)에 이런저런 직업별 종이옷 입혀가면서 논 거. 시대가 변하니 그런걸 디지털로 하게 된 걸까요...아니, 그 시절엔 미니게임 노가다 대신 왁자지껄하게 소꿉놀이 하는 걸로 시간 가는 줄 몰랐지만......온라인 멀티채팅요소가 필요한 건가!(...)
아 그 가장자리에 고정하라고 하얀 쪼가리 붙어있는 종이인형 말이죠? 전 가위질을 못 해서 종이에 낙서하며 놀았던 것 같아요. 자그마치 걸즈모드 시절에도 통신모드가 있었는데 제가 요즘 여야용 게임을 전혀 몰라서 그렇지 이제는 채팅정도는 할 수 있지 않을까요?
I would watch the shit out of Love Ducks
Yeah, and they have teeth, too.
요즘엔 유튜버분들한테 건강보다 영상이 먼저라고 하는게 밈이 되어버렸다지만 역시 영상보단 건강이 먼저입니다... ㅠㅠ
에에이 그건 영상으로 돈 버는 분들에게 해당되는 거고..(그것도 문제) 물론 전 건강을 우선으로 챙깁니다 그래서 늦게 올린거고요 ㅎㅎ 걱정해 주셔서 감사합니다!
I found princess debut fun even though i feel too old for it lmao (I’m 19) 😭
Princess Debut is a well made game. It also made waves being a Cave game that wasn't a danmaku shooter with 'hime' in the title lol
The Nintendo DS is very near and dear to my heart so I always love hearing about its games, no matter if its the popular titles or shovelware. Funny that you mentioned Style Savvy/Girls Mode, I think that's the game that really taught me not to care about target demographics because I really enjoyed it even as a young boy. Fab Style looks really cool, I didn't even know that one existed! Too bad it never got localized... looks like there's a fan TL for menus and stuff but the game looks a little more complex, so idk how useful that is. Would've been cool to play a 'new' game in that fashion, especially since Fashion Dreamer on Switch was noooot goood lmao. 😭
The DS is one of the first consoles and games I bought with my hard earned money, so I also have a lot of attachment to it. The thing still works, too! I found Fab Style quite boring when I first played it back in the days(Ruby Party made a 3D Otome game that looked way better than Angelique Trois. Must Play.), but after playing Girl's Mode figured I was too harsh on it. Young me was such a pessimistic know-it-all-critic. In order to progress through Fab Style, you have to read up stuff on Marketing and Fashion and take a quiz on it, so menu translation isn't enough, unfortunately. Although it's multiple choice so brute-forcing or using emulator save states work, too.
They literally just stealth dropped Model Debut 3 nicola on the Switch American eShop a few days ago..! It's not groundbreaking, but if you want a fashion game with a story, there's that. I think that there was a 3ds nicola released in English, too..? I've played through the first game ( in Japanese ), and the fashion model game was fun enough to waste at least a single playthrough on. Ironically enough, I'm waiting for the 2nd game I ordered to come in.
