About
Welcome to Love-colored Sky! This blog is mainly filled with eroge and otome game summaries, usually written in the format of individual routes. Occasionally mature contents will be included as well, if it’s relevant to the plot. The frequency of updates will differ depending on Rin’s gameplay pace.
Author
The author of this blog is Rin, a translator who will never grow up no matter how old she gets. She enjoys any kind of visual novels with good story and clean artworks. Initially interested in eroges, but her 乙女心 makes her lean towards otome games more. To put it shortly, she’s just an ordinary girl looking for a good romance. Loves KENN with a passion.
History
Love-colored Sky was opened in December 25, 2009. Rin used to write all of her summaries and reviews along with the CG packs on her LiveJournal, but decided that it’s better to have a separate blog specifically dedicated to her visual novel logs. After months of thinking about the title and the host, Love-colored Sky was created using WordPress.
Linkage
Link exchange are always welcomed. Feel free to leave a comment below. It’s even better if we share the same interest in otome games / visual novels in general.

So, do you prefer all-ages VNs or 18+ eroge?
Have you played Otome games illustrated by Toujou Sakana? Two of them I’ve heard about are “Ijiwaru my Master” and “Under the moon.” I’m not normally interested in Otome games myself, but the art in those two seemed exceptionally good.
I have to wonder whether you prefer Otome games or eroge more. I know the quality of a game’s writing is more dependent on the writers on staff rather than what genre it belongs to, but since popular wisdom goes that “females like their romance more than the 18+ scenes,” I wonder if the writing in Otome games in general is more to your liking.
2.
Rin | February 11, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Actually I don’t really mind whether it’s all-ages or 18+. As long as it has a good storyline (and artwork too, preferably), I basically play everything. It just happened that all of the VNs I’ve played are all 18+, except for otome games.
Since I’m a girl, honestly I like otome games more. Though I have to admit that the bratty heroine of “Under the moon” annoyed me to no end, thus I gave up midways. I didn’t give “Ijiwaru my Master” a try because I’m afraid the heroine would be similar to UTM’s heroine, but I’m going to play the upcoming “Riddle Garden” which is illustrated by the same artist. :D
It’s true that most females like the romance aspect more than the H scenes, but from what I saw there are many girls too who likes both equally. Though when compared to eroges, I feel that the 18+ scenes in most otome games were a bit lacking.

Mazryonh | February 17, 2010 at 10:26 am
Well, maybe you can still write a detailed review of “Under the Moon” sometime. How exactly did the heroine of that game act bratty?
What is it you consider “lacking” about h-scenes in otome games? I think one of the major ways an eroge can excel or fall flat on its face is how plausible or believable it can integrate its h-scenes into a coherent–after all, h-material without appropriate justification from the story is pretty pointless and can be had pretty much anywhere else.
I also notice that you don’t write too much about when h-scenes happen in an eroge/otome game route. I would like it if you did mention when they happen and whether or not they were believeable to you, for the aforementioned reasons–you don’t have to go into excruciating detail. I just think it’d be more revealing of the characters and the true quality of the story that way.

Your blog will definitely go on my favorites! It’s nice to know the story of games that I don’t have time for. And the trait of romance is certainly a huge difference from the other bloggers.
No offence to those bloggers, they know who they are.
5.
Rin | May 5, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Thanks. :)
It’s an old habit actually, since I used to summarize the stories of the otome games I played for my friends who don’t understand Japanese. Now whenever I try to write a review it’d turn out to be a summary instead LOL.
It’s nice to know people who appreciate romance as much as I do. xD

Hihi. Thanks for linking me! I’m adding you to my blogroll as well. (^o^)v

Euryx | February 6, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Hello. I stumbled on your blog while searching for Starry☆Sky (well, more of discovering this site through your LJ). Anyway, I’d like to ask for some recommendations on otome games. I’m kind of a noob when it comes to otome games since I’ve started playing my first one (TokiMemo girl’s side 1st love plus) two weeks ago. ^^” I’d be more delighted if it’s in DSi. Thank you. ^_^
9.
Rin | February 6, 2011 at 7:51 pm
Hello. Have you tried playing the sequels? Tokimemo GS 2nd Season and 3rd Story are both on NDS, and they’re my all-time favorites. The 3rd one is especially good with enhanced systems and such. If you like stat-building games like Tokimemo, give Love Revo a try. It’s funny and have nice characters. Then if you’re also into visual novels, Sangoku Rensenki is good if you don’t mind a little history. Starry Sky is also one of my favorites, but since the series is split into four games.. it depends on whether you like the guys or not.
You can also see my list to see the games I’ve played so far. :)
10.
Euryx | February 7, 2011 at 7:10 am
I’m currently waiting for the patch of 2nd Season and 3rd story. :) Looks like Love Revo is interesting, I’ll try it too. Uhm, are the games Sangoku Rensenki and Starry Sky only available in PC format? I’ve read on your blog after Starry Sky After Spring, is it also in PC?
Thanks again. :)))
11.
Rin | February 7, 2011 at 9:17 am
Sangoku Rensenki is only for PC for now, but I heard it’s going to be ported to PS2 / PSP this year. Starry Sky is also available for PSP. But if you’re looking for otome titles on NDS, try: Hiiro no Kakera DS, Hakuouki DS, Will o’ Wisp DS, Saikin Koi Shiteru?, Kurayami no Hate de Kimi wo Matsu. The last one is thriller/mystery otome, so it’s pretty interesting if you’re not scared of horror like me. xD
12.
Euryx | February 7, 2011 at 10:27 pm
Aww, too bad I don’t have a PSP. :( But then again, PC games will do. Thanks for the list! I’m looking forward playing those games you’ve mentioned especially Hakuoki.. XD
13.
kalikai2188 | August 6, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Thank you very much for your great VN blog :D ! I can understand the Asukimi story much better after reading some of your characters review one by one. I would like to make some comments on your Wakamiya Asuka review section just now, but sadly instead I pressed the like button below the review by accident :( . Anyway, it helps me a lot to understand and get closer to each character there, as my Japanese comprehension skill is still ongoing now. Millions thanks! :D
14.
Rin | August 6, 2011 at 10:36 pm
You’re welcome. Glad to hear my reviews help.
VNs rarely get translated into English, so I hope this blog can be useful for those who wants to understand the story. :D
15.
Yo-Chan | August 20, 2011 at 7:26 am
I love your blog!!! I don’t know Japanese but I love VN and it’s great to read all about the games here. :) I just have one question, do you buy all of your games? I know only of PlayAsia where I can find a lot of VN.
16.
Rin | August 20, 2011 at 10:26 am
I buy most of them, and borrow some from my friends.
PlayAsia is a great place to get VNs. :)
17.
Yo-Chan | August 20, 2011 at 11:58 pm
Thanks for telling me! I envy you with time to play them. TT.TT

Ayaka | August 30, 2011 at 5:46 pm
hi rin. me bothering you again :P while surfing on idea factory game list i found this game based on somewhat popular manga: “Are You Alice?”
from what i see this is not an otome game or something, neither a eroge game or stuff like that. it seems more like a simple story, kinetic novel type :P
though the art looked pretty good and story seemed interesting, but if it doesn’t have pilot, then i wouldn’t wanna waste money on it. and do you know a good place where i can get a review based on it?
i know this is not related but i didn’t knew to ask who since your reviews are always awesome! thanks for your help!
19.
Rin | August 30, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Yea Are You Alice? was made into a game by Otomate, but I’m not interested since it’s not otome. I listened to the Drama CDs too, so.. xD None of my friends played the game aside from 29nights, so you might as well check her review here.
20.
Ayaka | August 30, 2011 at 11:34 pm
thank you so much rin! thanks to this i just figured this isn’t my thing :P
21.
Teruterubozu | August 31, 2011 at 7:55 am
Hello! I’ve been lurking around for quite awhile, so I thought I should at least thanking you for providing great reviews! … And thank you for making me feel like playing otome games again, lol.
PS. I just want to ask this out of curiousity, but are you Indonesian? If you don’t feel like answering that non-important question, that’s completely fine :D Anyways, please keep up the good work!
22.
Rin | August 31, 2011 at 11:24 am
You’re welcome, glad to hear it brings back your otome mood. :D
..and yes I am, how did you find out? xD
23.
Teruterubozu | August 31, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I saw your profile on your LJ, and I was surprised (in a good way, of course) since I’m Indonesian myself :D
Oh, and, I’m just wondering, do you have any kind of intention to review Hakuouki Shinsengumi? :3
24.
Rin | August 31, 2011 at 10:10 pm
Ahh I see. Nice to meet a fellow Indonesian. xD
Actually I’ve finished Hakuouki back in January, but since I played it on the go I didn’t take notes and my head was empty when I tried to write a post LOL. So yeah I’m intending to go back and review Hakuouki. I just can’t say when.. *looks at her backlog piling up*
25.
i don't care | September 4, 2011 at 12:09 pm
wait is this a spoil website anime or just your visual thoughts on what’s going to happen in the future……? i don’t get it…
26.
Rin | September 4, 2011 at 2:51 pm
From my sidebar: “Rin’s visual novel blog”
Or if that’s too hard to understand, otome game blog.
27.
Ayaka | September 4, 2011 at 3:08 pm
plus, there aren’t really anime based on otome games except one or two. don’t read if you don’t want :P
28.
Ayaka | September 4, 2011 at 3:23 pm
oooooooooooooooooh RIN!!!!!!!! i see you posted up a guides section in your homepage!!! this is soooooooo soooooooooooo great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much you’re so awesome!!!
29.
Rin | September 4, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Yea a friend put up a directory for guides, so I followed her footsteps before somebody ask me about it lol. I used have the guide links up on my “List” page, but since I took that page down.. I’ll just put them on my sidebar. xD

alchemy5mage | October 17, 2011 at 7:30 am
Hey, it’s alchemy5mage. S.Y.K Shinsetsu Saiyuuki and its fandisk came in and I just want to know who do you recommed to do in order? I know you have a review on the game, but I don’t want to read it yet, just to avoid spoilers. Thank you ^^
31.
Rin | October 17, 2011 at 10:16 am
I’d recommend going with the order I played it:
Hakkai → Gojou → Gyokuryuu → Gokuu → Suou
It’s a good idea to start with Hakkai, since his story is unrelated to the main plot. The same goes for the fandisk, except the last one should be Youzen / Jirou Shinkun. :3
32.
alchemy5mage | October 17, 2011 at 10:54 am
Thank you for this ^^ I was debating which one to play, since this is quite different from previous games I’ve played. Thank you again.
33.
Gwinna | October 31, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Just want to say I love your reviews. Been reading them religiously for more than a year now.
I also wanted to ask….I commented on your most recent review with a game recommendation, but it then occurred to me that giving a game request in an irrelevant place was kind of spammy. So I wanted to ask, for future reference, where I should post comments about game requests or questions? Here?
Probably a stupid question.
34.
Rin | October 31, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Thank you for always reading my posts. :D
No, it’s not a stupid question at all! You can post recommendations anywhere, I don’t mind at all. But if you ask about which place is more relevant, then you can write it here or on the review index page. :3
35.
Rieyn | November 16, 2011 at 11:30 am
Hi.
Wanted to tell you that I really love your blog/ game review. I stumble across it by chance when I was browsing for something. And since then I’ve been coming here few times a week XD
I hope you dont mind, but I wanted to ask you, if you know where can I buy Bloody Call online? I tried to find it on YesAsia and CdJapan, but there was none. I really want to play the game though >w<
36.
Rin | November 16, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Hello. I bought my copy from Amazon JP, so I don’t know if it’s still available in other online shops. It’s been a while since the game’s release date after all. If you can’t find it anywhere, try looking on auction sites.
Oh, but do you have a PSP?
If you do, it might be better to wait for unENDing Bloody Call instead since it has more contents. :)
37.
Rieyn | November 16, 2011 at 10:24 pm
Yup, I have a PSP, correct me if I’m wrong but that is for the PSP,
not PSP Vita right? .
Yeah, I saw that on icingCandy web. But what I’m not sure of if that is a continuation or the same as Bloody Call (storyline) but with more contents. If if is a continuation then I would want to have Bloody Call first ._.
38.
Rin | November 17, 2011 at 12:11 am
Yes, it’s for PSP. It’s not a sequel, but a remake / port with extra contents. They add in more scenarios, epilogues and CGs, so you might as well get the PSP version. Unless you want bigger CGs on PC. xD
39.
Rieyn | November 17, 2011 at 5:19 pm
I see. Then I guess I will get the PSP version. Do you by any chance know when it is coming out?
40.
Rin | November 20, 2011 at 6:48 pm
The official site only says “this winter”.

2012 is looking good in the otome game side! TMGS 3 for PSP, Kannou, Diabolik Lovers game, Snow Bride port, Bakuhan, Renai Banchou 2…

Have you heard about the room stalking mode in TMGS3 Premium? LOL I wanna know what Ruka does in his room at night. *shot* 8D Aside from the games you mentioned, I’m looking forward to Jyuuza Engi and Atelier Elkrone too.
..is it 2012 yet? (´・ω・`)

AKSBDJASBHDJB
/jumps of the ecstasy cliff.
Ahhh, yes, “Boy’s live” or something like that orz. I would probs set an alarm like, late at night just to stalk them *shot* I don’t know why but I can’t get myself hyped for Elkrone (probs cause I failed so miserably at the first Atelier I ever tried *brick’d*)
2012 I command thee! Come, now! …Please? I want my Brothers Conflict too ; A ;

Rin | November 24, 2011 at 1:08 am
OMG LOL. Really? Watase? DO WANT. BRING THAT FD HERE NAO.
I actually liked him a lot since he’s really supportive, so this news makes me jump in glee like a crazy fangirl that I am. Thanks! 8D
It’s been a while since they announced Brothers Conflict too.. at first I thought they’re going to release it in 2011 lol. Must be a hole in my memories. xD
45.
玲華 (@mizu_rei) | November 24, 2011 at 2:25 am
Bye bye Kaki, you’re not my main target anymore. I’m ditching the Demon Head this sexy man ;D /shot.
Brothers Conflict was scheduled to be released on 2011 summer and winter, but then Otomate sneakily changed the date like, a week or something ago orz

Hi there Rin! I’ve been a fan/follower of your blog ever since I discovered it early this year. I’ve been a troll till I finally decided to post a comment on your blog! Sad I know >..> was wondering if you know anyone that’s an avid fan who’s played this particular game for some tips.
GAH, I’m so sorry for the long winded post aka digression! I absolutely LOVE LOVE your reviews and your blog! Thank you for always posting awesome reviews!
Cheers Rin!
PS Hope to hear from you soon!

Rin | December 2, 2011 at 11:16 pm
Hello! Thanks for keeping up with me~ x3
It’s okay. Seems like WordPress eats your comments if you use > and < at the same time, so try avoiding them when you use emoticons. Which game were you talking about? :D
49.
Jean | December 3, 2011 at 12:47 am
Hi again =)
Oh dear, I had no idea word press does that! I was actually talking about Uta No Prince-sama albeit in the long paragraph that got eaten up. I was wondering if you’ve reviewed Uta’s FDs which are Amazing Aria as well as Sweet Serenade. I do agree its a so-so otome game but the characters and the awesome music totally got me hooked on it lol.
Also, I just bought (got seduced) by the newest addition to the franchise which is Uta no Prince-sama Music on the PSP. But its ridiculously hard to play rhythm games on hard mode. Yes I confess I only bought it just to get the pitiful scenarios from the boys. So yea that brought me to my question of whether you knew anyone that has played it and knows some tips lol.
Another random thing is I’m Indonesian too. Well part Indo-Chinese but born in Malaysia xD

Hi Hi! I saw your reviews and summaries and it really hyped me into playing a few – like Amnesia, and Corpse Party.
I wanna ask, coz I noticed you finished another game. Will you be playing Kami naru kimi to?
61.
Rin | February 6, 2012 at 1:31 am
Oh, but I haven’t even played Corpse Party yet. I haven’t found the time and courage. xD
Yes, I’ll be playing KamiKimi someday.. though I can’t say when. I’m pretty moody when it comes to choosing games, but I can say for sure that it’s on my to-play list. :3

Actually, I was going to ask you how to download/install WordPress. I’ve hunted everywhere in the internet, trying to figure out exactly how. I tried at the website itself, but every time I downloaded something, I needed something else to work that particular file. o(╥﹏╥)o
What exactly do I need to download WordPress? The programs, I mean. You don’t have to answer the question if you don’t want to, but I really need help. I’m asking you because perhaps people who have a WordPress already could help.
By the way, I really love your otome game blog, because it describes so much about the games themselves. (●´∀｀●) I really wish I had the money to buy more otome games.
72.
Rin | March 22, 2012 at 11:48 am
I’m sorry, I have no idea how to install WordPress because I’ve never used their commercial program. (´・ω・`) I’m only using their free blog service. If you want to make a WordPress blog, you just have to visit wordpress.com and register for an account. Then you only need to pick a layout and start posting, so you don’t have to download / buy their program. :3
Also, thank you for reading my posts. <3
73.
Koneko | March 23, 2012 at 4:20 am
Thank you so much! I think that’s exactly what I was trying to look for! So, you don’t need programs or anything, huh? o(╥﹏╥)o Looks like I wasted two hours yesterday. But thank you so much for replying, I’m really so grateful!
No problem! I find them really awesome, so I’ll continue to read them!

Mookadu | March 27, 2012 at 8:56 pm
Hi! I was lurking around your blog with that wild idea for some months and now I have a little courage to write it to You. (a moment of dramatic silence) Now I just have to force my fingers to tap these words on my keyboard…
I want to translate posts on your blog (about otome games) into my language and post it on new blog (on our most popular local blogging platform) so people in my country could have a chance to get to know otome world! So I beg you on my knees for permit to translate!
>(*o* )<
Pfff, I did it. (-o- )
In Poland there are many, many kids (11-30 yrs :P) who love manga&anime and Japan with chopsticks, yukatas, samurai' swords, bento and all that stuff. xD Just kiddin', there are people who really enjoy japanese culture with its history, but our market is just not prepared for japanese games like those. Just few know what VN is and it's because of our critics who don't want to open for new experiences, and stay with things that THEY liked.
I'm a girl who'd love to play otome games, but like I said earlier it's hard to get them even from "close" abroad (and I don't know japanese…) so I decided to introduce this type of games to my country with your POV's help and permission, of course.
It's hard to me, writing in English since our language is really difficult to translate into English – but it's so much easier in the opposite direction! (like always…) So me and my friends who'd love to help, we can spend our time and share with the polish internet these reviews in our language.
I write not only to You but also to Ilinox from yumemirusekai.wordpress.com, Hinano from http://breadmasterlee.com, Sandeian&Domshiki from sandeian.wordpress.com. Hope everyone can understand what I've written. :D
With the permission of all it might look something like this: One post – one character's route – and different views of different authors – signed of course.
I'm waiting and my heart beat so loud. ;)
PS Yeah, copy-paste, almost creepypasta. ;D

Hello! It’s so nice of you to ask for permission. Please don’t be nervous, I won’t bite. xD
Regarding translations, I don’t mind if you want to translate my reviews as long as you credit me and link back here. (。・∀・。)ﾉ Also, would you mind giving me your blog’s URL when it’s up and running? I’m interested in your idea, so I want to see how you guys would translate / sum up our reviews. (*´∀`*) Hopefully the reviews will be able to help spreading the otome love to Poland too. Good luck!

Yaaaaay!!
(cough)
Now I see how many mistakes I’ve made, but I hope it doesn’t matter if I’ll try not to do it in my own language. Forgive me, I started learning English 4 yrs ago…(・_・;)
But I got a lot of enthusiasm and can understand almost everything. (*^0^*)
Woohoo! So it’s already two “licenses”! (Ilinox) Thank You soooooo much! Of course, we were thinking about banners and link to every “mother-post” in your language and about encouraging people to enter your website. My, my, it makes me so happy, I can’t even think properly. \（●＾o＾●）/
Right, right. Now I just have to wait for others. Then I create a blog on our platform – blog.onet.pl or Google’s Blogger. I’m thinking about wordpress too. We’ll see.
Sure you’ll get an address! It’s your and other guys’ work, I won’t forget about it and always will mention in posts – although I don’t think you could understand anything. xD Polish is really difficult language.
Just thinking about address…Something unconventional but catchy…:P Suggestions are appreciated.
Thank You once more! If Hinano and guys from 4Shiki will reply during this week, I think we get to work in weekend when everyone has the time.
Thanks, thanks, thanks!

Don’t worry about making mistakes, since English isn’t my mother language either. I’m sure there are grammatical errors scattered all over my reviews, the readers are just too kind not to point them out. 8D;; As for blogging platform, I’d personally recommend WordPress over Blogger. Maybe you can try making an account in each site to see which one is more comfortable? (*´∀`*) It’s true that I definitely won’t understand a single thing, but I still want to link you for all the hard work you do by translating our posts. x3
As far as I know, both Sandeian and Domshiki are currently busy with school, but I hope you receive replies soon. Thanks for taking the time to translate my reviews too. :D

Seriously, You surprised me. I can’t believe Your’e not native English speaker, You write really well, clearly and it seemed plain to me that you’re an American, Canadian, etc. Uh, I envy You, it’s a whole different level. (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
I got next answer so everything goes fast. :) You should receive an address in a few days.
Fak, that hit me pretty hard, you’re really good. (T.T)

Rin | March 28, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Thanks for the compliment. (*´∀`*) It makes me happy when people praise my English / Japanese, but I think your English is really good too! Especially since you’ve only been learning English for 4 years. I learned English a long time ago, but never really improved until I started talking to natives. xD I believe you’ll become even better as you talk / chat in English more, but you don’t have to worry really — you’re good. :D
Glad to hear you’ve received another reply. I hope everything goes well. :3

Hot News is that cirlce is complete. :3 S&D team approved and now we have capabilities so we can start. Or I can start, as the work of others will mainly consist in correction of my posts (one is half-American, other is lazy IT, next is otome-like blogger who’s into otome world’s news – but lazy also) and taking care of the blog (moderating). So as a self-proclaimed leader I’ve decided to WP platform, so I have to wait for Lilmer to put me into wordpress’ world. :P
Thank You again!
PS I still think you’re lying and you’re native. :P

Rin | March 28, 2012 at 2:49 pm
LOL no I’m not. I’m an Asian who grew up and still living in Asia. xD

mukada | March 28, 2012 at 11:41 pm
No way. :D
OK! So I got to work!
I have “outline” here: http://translatorod7bolesci.blogspot.com/
Well, it’s Blogger. (._. ) I know, but someone kicked my a** to do that because of “linguistic limitations of colleagues”. Well, I’m not so happy with that. I had blog on WP and it was almost done – what took me a few hours. And that looks so primitive, but I guess I can’t win this time. (.____. )
As you can see there’s your banner which I found here – it’s just a start and that’s what I wrote in first post.
I hope this eyesore will change. (ToT )

Rin | March 29, 2012 at 2:37 am
Thanks for informing me! It’s not an eyesore~ Don’t worry. :3
I just google translated your intro post, and I think I’m going to do that when you start translating / posting reviews. xD Just a suggestion though, since Ili doesn’t have a banner maybe you can link her simply by using text link? :D
Oh, and I linked you back. :3
85.
mukada | March 29, 2012 at 2:51 am
I asked both Ilinox and S&D if they want me to do banners for them or if they do it their way. Waiting for responses. :>
Thank You for link, but I don’t think it’ll work in English-speaking world. xD
Well, in my country is almost 10 PM and this is my time to drown in the bathtub. :) So, good night from my side. \(＾▽＾)

Rin | March 29, 2012 at 3:02 am
Nah, it’s okay. I want people to know your hard work, even though they might not understand Polish. I’m going to bed too, so good night! :D

mukada | March 29, 2012 at 11:45 pm
There’s first translation on blog. I’ve decided to Hakuouki, because I was “voted down” by my colleagues. (o.o ‘) It’s S&D’s POV and first is demonic Hijikata. :P You can compare their wersion with mine, and have some idea of how your reviews will be done. Greetings!

I’m just wondering Rin, have you seen the game coming out in August? Isshouni Gohan xD It looks like another cooking game has come out! What I’m worried is how they never put a picture of the heroine inside the characters page !!!(OoOlll) I have suspicions of this being a yaoi game /shot LOL jk. If Otomate is behind it, surely it has to be an otome game? ;v;
Anyways, just pointing out since I remembered you wanted more cooking games from Otomate. Art seems pretty lovely too, I hope the game won’t get delayed. さあ、「いっしょうにごはん。」はやくリリス！xD; Japanese fail OTL I’m excited though!! (。・∀・。)ﾉ

My bad, I meant September this year (“OvO)ゞすみませんー
94.
Rin | April 16, 2012 at 1:20 am
I have! It has Shimono in it, so I’m definitely going to play it. xD
You don’t have to worry, it’s 100% an otome game. The latest Dengeki GIrl’s Style actually has a picture of the heroine. Her name is Mugibata Akane, and she looks cute with long flowing hair. :3 The art looks nice and colorful, and it’s going to be released on September 27.. if there are no delays, that is.
