Kichiku Megane Review (kinda)

So mh…I started this game in 2021 and only recently have finished it……I have no excuses for this, it just took so long. Anyway, Kichiku Megane is a very well known BL game. It came out in 2008 and was produced by Spray. I played some spray games before, and they’re either hit or miss for me. So, lets get into the review~

Warning for discussion of 18+ content

Story

This story is about Saeki Katsuya a weak, pathetic office worker who, one day after another pathetic day at work encounters the mysterious Mr. R in the park. Mr. R gives him “special” glasses that make him confident and make all his wished come true. There is only one catch, once Katsuya put on the glasses he becomes a super ultra sadistic Megane, who enjoys nothing more than raping his victims. You as the player can decide now if you want to go the Megane way or the normal Katsuya way.

It’s pretty simple, Megane Katsuya tops everyone, normal Katsuya is always bottom. Some love interest can be top or bottom some can only be one. But no matter who, once they’re with Megane Katsuya they’re pretty much fucked (literally)

Lets make something clear in the beginning, this is mostly a parody game of all these evil Megane character tops and shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but despite that, I wouldn’t say I actually enjoyed much of the game, sure Megane Katsuya is funny in the beginning, but if you’re not into H-scenes and rape jokes it get’s boring very fast, which it did for me.

As for the office plot, I had to keep myself from not falling asleep (one reason why it took me forever to finish this). It’s very boring if you’re not into it. Katsuya works for a company that sells drinks with funky names and a good portion of the game is revolves around this, with Katsuya being Japanese he will of course put all his life into his jobs. And if you’re not play rapist Megane Katsuya its mostly just office plot.

Characters

Katsuya (see picture above)

Like mentioned Katsuya has 2 personalities, his weak (original) self and the Megane self, which could be almost counted as his own character. Normal Katsuya is very weak and pathetic, due to some trauma he suffered in middle school. He is kindhearted and a good worker but, but still often ends up a loser (I feel you Katsuya). Due to that he is easy to step on and some of the Love interest take that as an advantage. In some of the routes he actually develops a stronger personality and becomes more confident. Megane Katsuya is sadistic, overconfident and loves to torture people. Almost all of his routs ends up with the Love Interest stuck with Stockholm syndrome. This man also has an obsession with sticking random things in people’s butts. If you remain with Megane Katsuya he won’t be able to return to normal Katsuya anymore, even after putting the glasses off. There is even a bad end in which Megane Katsuya is even too evil for Mr. R and he kidnaps Katsuya to punish him lmao.

I honestly didn’t enjoy neither Katsuyas. One is too weak and pathetic and the other is just an asshole and I don’t like these type of assholes.

Midou

Midou is Katsuya’s boss, and another asshole. He is very confident and proud. In his route Katsuya has to work with him for some new product they are selling.

(glasses)

His route was the first one I played. The moment Katsuya puts his glasses on he turns shitty rapist who uses Midou for his weird kinks or whatever and act all sassy with him, which was kinda funny in the beginning but as it keeps going, it starts to get boring. The route is basically just torture porn, with Katsuya abusing Midou until he turned into a soulless shell, and that was when Katsuya finally notices, that he maybe, should stop his “bullying” and abandons Midou. But of course, Stockholm syndrome hit Midou so hard that he suddenly gets his mind back and is all like “Katsuya I can’t live without you T_T” and reunites with Katsuya in the old dramatic Russian movie way and suddenly they were lovers, or something. I don’t know it was weird, and I didn’t really care?

(no glasses)

If Katsuya doesn’t become the rapist, he will be raped. Midou turns big asshole energy on him and blackmails him (forgot with what, I played the route over a whole year in 2022 whoops) and uses Katsuya for his kinks or whatever. Of course, there is one scene where he is all “Katsuya you’re doing a good job” after Katsuya says he is worthless as a worker and Katsuya goes all “omg director Midou uwu dokidoki” and later confesses to him after more sexual harassment from Midou. He was all like “I don’t know why I like you, you treat me like shit and yet I still like you” yeah Katsuya I know why you like him, because Stockholm syndrome. Midou is confused in the beginning but decided “eh whatever might as well” so they finish their job successfully and it ends with Katsuya asking what Midou feels for him and Midou is like “aishiteruu” (I love you)……Bitch what?.

Katagiri (glasses)

Katagiri is the sweet naïve ojisan of the love interests, he is Katsuya’s manager and supporting him during his project. You can only play him with Magane Katsuya (probably because having to pathetic men wouldn’t work out well)

This route is basically as the same as other Megane Katsuya one. Katsuya helps Katagiri with something, so he invited Katsuya for dinner (already a mistake). Katsuya (in his sadistic Megane pride) shows up and immediately starts his evil plan to treat the poor Katagiri as shitty as possible. Katagiri makes another mistake by saying that he will do anything for Katsuya, since Katsuya is working so hard, so Katsuya first release the man’s pet birds and lets them fly out the window and then sexual harass him. This harassment continues with Katsuya raping him a few times after that. Katagiri is also so stupid enough to show up at his house (Stockholm Syndrome hits him very fast). So, somewhere along the line, Katagiri gets used to the constant rape and for some reason starts asking him for it, which leads to Katsuya getting bored and dropping him, because it’s not fun if he can’t force himself on Katagiri (……………. Okay). Followed by a “dramatic” scene in the rain where Katagiri clings to him and begs him not to leave him, because he now feels not like the loser he was before since his child died and his women left him. Katsuya is like “whatever” and just fucks off. After that there is more “Katagiri is so depressed” moments where he even wants to quit his job. (Katyua is still like “whatever”) So someday one of the bird Katsuya release flies in his apartment and Katsuya decides to bring the bird back to Katagiri, because it doesn’t want to leave alone, which he does. Arriving at his places Katsuya sees that he even plans to move out, so he talks to him and is suddenly like “oh no actually I totally like you, don’t quiet your job” like?????? Minutes ago, he didn’t care and now does? No development, no explanation, just very random confession. Katagiri of course is all happy and they live happy ever after.

Yeah, a very strange route, whith no development. I honestly can’t say who annoyed me more in this route Katsuya’s super sadistic rapey-ness or Katagiri being so unbelievable stupid and naïve. This old man was just so pathetic it was painful to watch, I was glad when I finally reached the end.

Honda

Honda is Katsuya’s bestie from university, they both were member of the volleyball club and now work together. You can play him both with Megane and normal Katsuya

(glasses)

So, this will be funny because I actually have forgotten what happened in this route…. I mean I played it over a year ago, but consider it’s Megane Super S Katsuya we all know what happened, well I do remember some things. Katsuya was pretty mean as always to Honda and somewhere along the way raped him. Honda was later kidnapped by a former classmate who was mad at him because of some stuff he did as the volleyball club captain in university. Katsuya had to show and saved his ass and of course it all ended with them being happy together….I really don’t remember anything I’M SO SORRY T_T Oh yeah in one of the endings Katsuya shows up to the place Honda was taken and just tells his kidnapper to do what he wants AND JUST LEAVES ahdhhsj KATSUYAAA anyway he gets stabbed right after it by the dude, Karma winning again lol.

(no glasses)

Honda as top was the best route to be honest. Not only did Katsuya actually grew as a character, but Honda was also a pretty good as a love interest…. Later on, before he wanted Katsuya to stay weak and a loser because Katsuya would rely on him…HONDA YOU LITTE FUC- *clears throat* anyway he improved later on. Of course, no route without a little Megane Katsuya harassment, which was the reason for drama in the beginning. But after it, there was a decant amount of (not forced) romance with Honda confessing and even waiting for Katsuya to respond. And even if you let Katsuya reject him he still wouldn’t try to do anything to Katsuya so yeah that was nice. Also, their H-scene was the one I actually read in this game (and they even used lube and condoms, god bless).

Aki (glasses)

Some shota who hangs out in a club and the first “man” Katsuya sleeps with after turning into super S Katsuya. Aki is annoying like you except a shota to be, and apparently still in fucking school bruh. I….aslo don’t remember much about his route actually but here it’s whatever because he is just horny for Katsuya’s D and that’s basically all. This route has no real “happy end” because it ends with Aki becoming Katsuya’s play toy (by his own free will), no dating, no confession, nothing. Not my thing, I don’t like shota and this had basically no plot.

Taichi (no glasses)

Taichi works in a café, or restaurant? Katsuya likes to visit often. Taichi doesn’t like Megane Katsuya so you can only play him in Normal Katsuya version. And I have to apologize again because I don’t remember the route…. It was too long ago, but I what I remember is that their relationship was actually really good with well development. But once again, we also had a Megane Katsuya moment where he decided he has to rape Taichi…god free me from this, I can’t take that anymore. Also, Taichi is actually part of a yakuza family lol. The route wasn’t bad as far as I can remember but for some reason Taichi just wasn’t my type and I can’t even explain why.

Mr. R and Bonus material

The more endings you finish the higher your chance is to get a “extra story” from pomegranates Mr. R gives you, which are 90% made of some horny fantasy stories of Katsuya fucking or getting fucked. We had classic things such as (plant) tentacle rape, threesome, gang bang and fat hentai ojisan (like why????), selfcest and Mr. R sucking Katsuya’s dick (lol) and there was one (more interesting) story about Katsuya school days. You see, Katsuya wasn’t such a loser always he was sociable and had friends, but through some trauma caused by one of his classmates who he thought as a friend, he became like he is now. In this story it shows that Mr. R actually already appeared to young Katsuya and told him about the glasses.

The very last bonus story broke my last brain cell, it featured normal Katsuya covered in cream and fruits getting fucked by Megane Katsuya……I lost it when Megane Katsuya put a banana in his mouth. (Please don’t talk to me about this, I want to drink to forget about it)

Music and Art

The music is pretty generic, the OP song “Under the darkness” is iconic at this point at in the BLVN community.

The art is very yaoi-core, it’s an old game so what else would you expect? What I always thought was amusing how normal Katsura suddenly becomes all “top” looking once he put the glasses on pfffff.

Conclusion

Did I enjoy it? No. Do I think this is worth playing? No. I don’t even know why I started playing it to begin with, this is clearly not for me. H-scenes don’t amuse me, and plot was terribly boring. I know some people like that kind of humour, but if you’re like me and prefer some good plot I wouldn’t recommend it. This game also has a fandisk but I don’t see myself playing it soon.

I just want to add a comment to this, since I’m the translator of the first version. The second translation was commissioned by a person on twitter and from their post I saw they wanted to be able to read the short stories. The commission was released after the English translation of the game in Nov 2022, while my version was out in Feb, 2022, a quick search would have shown that the stort story had long been translated.

I’m just assuming of course, but I think they didn’t like how the tone of my translation didn’t fit the English translation, which I have stated many times I find awful and disrespectful.

That besides, I want to use this opportunity to talk a little about the translation. This translation went through some re-translating and editing around the time of the English game release.

With my translation I always pay attention to keeping it as close as possible to the original tone and I spent many hours to fit the tone of the dialogue to the original. As the post above pointed out, the original text is 3rd person while the commissioned translation changed it to first person. (I assume the person commissioned was the original translator of the game because if it was someone else, they would have kept the original 3rd person narration, and the way the translated sounded exactly the same.)

And since the defender of the English translation of the game love to prove me wrong with a lot of arguments why the translation is good as it is, I thought let’s do the same. Let’s do the same, lets explain my translation (also gives me a good opportunity to show how I work.)

First thing I noticed is that some lines are missing? It’s mostly the moaning, but there is also one spoken line missing but I find it to be really unprofessional to just let out lines. I work line by line and usually don’t combine lines, since it’s easy to miss out on some of the parts. My translation is only based on what’s written in the original text only, I keep what I can and change only what needs to be changed for it to sound natural in english. In the case of this story, I sometimes had to include a few words to explain the Japanese lines better.

Let’s look at some examples:

“So, you’re attracted to me, and when our eyes meet, it makes your heart beat faster?”

The reason I used “heart beat faster” and I’m happy I can actually mention it here, is because Towa literally said “dokidoki” in the original which I thought was really cute and funny, I’m sure most people are familiar with this expression.

Mine: You could feel the dangerous tension in the air rise, because I was someone lewd who would sleep with anyone?”

The other TL: So I give off some kind of horny nympho energy?”

Yes, sure Towa doesn’t value himself a lot but even he himself just doesn’t used such hard words with himself (I don’t want to hear anything about the game TL) my line is basically what he says, which is that Fujieda could feel that Towa is a person who tends to have a lot of sexual intercourse with people, there is no reason to write it in such a degenerate way.

Mine: “Then, don’t you want to sleep with me?”

The other TL: “If you find me so sexy, then don’t you think maybe you should fuck me?”

This is horrible from a translation perspective, it’s obvious the other translator didn’t pay any attention to the mood of the scene and to Towa’s feeling. The original line isそれでも、俺と寝たいって思わないのか? Towa uses the word 寝る here, which literally means “to sleep ” which is kind of weird to use in Japanese language, I don’t remember hearing this expression in that context anywhere else, usually they sayする,やるor抱く, in Towa’s case he is usually more direct and just says “sex” (they use this word in Japanese too, but its too direct for most Japanese people so they rather use different words), but here he says “to sleep” instead. In such a situation it’s obvious that Towa is humble (he is Japanese after all), he is anxious because he doesn’t know what Fujieda wants, but he himself wants to know, so as mentioned in the line before, Towa decides to ask Fujieda directly what he is thinking but in a humble and careful way, that’s why I don’t understand why you would ignore that and just use “fuck”. I don’t even need to mention the “if you find me so sexy” part, he doesn’t say that at all.

Mine:“I’m trying them on for the first time.” The other: ”I dunno. Never worn glasses before.”

No idea, why he should say “I don’t know” Towa obviously knows why he is trying on the glasses.

“The change I wish for…is for you to not like only pain and wounds, but for them to be one of the many things you like.”

Haha, I remember that line, it sounded very weird in Japanese because Fujieday literally says here “I don’t want you to like pain and wounds, but I want you to also like pain and wounds.” Reading it in Japanese it makes sense for me but in English it doesn’t, so I decided to add some words here to get the meaning across.

Mine: Tickled by this action, Towa, trying to imitate him, put his fingers in Fujieda’s bangs and brushed them back.

Other TL: Gah, that tickles! Naturally, I responded by plunging both hands into his messy locks and giving them a good ruffle.

Obviously trying to force the non-existing first person narration. Also its not “ruffles his hair” he just pulls his bangs back to reveal his face.

Other TL: His apology was so needlessly earnest, it put a smile on my face. “No biggie—just surprised me, that’s all. I never would have guessed, based on my first impression of you.”

Towa would never, not even in one billion years say “No biggie” Stop trying to change the way he speaks.

And general changing the translation to a forced first-person narration already changes the intention of the original writer, if they wrote it in 3rd person then there was a reason to do so. If anyone needs proof of that, I’m always happy to provide scans of the short story. My translation is done without including my own opinion, everything is completely based on the original Japanese text, and before anyone opens their mouth again to teach me how “a translation isn’t supposed to be liTeRaL” it is not. I think it’s important to be close to the Japanese text because even one word or expression can change the intention a lot.I studied the language, I did classes for translations I know what I'm doing.

Anyway, I’m kind of sad that someone else had to go and make a new translation in the same tone as the game translation, I was hoping that even though I can’t save the game, I at least can do it justice with this short story translation, but we can’t have nice things in this world apparently.

Slow Damage Artbook SS: Translation Comparison

(Text below is copied from the Gdoc file for the sake of providing context to this post.)

So to start, as far as I knew, there was only one fan TL of the artbook short story. Turns out, however, there was another one. I only knew about this when a friend shared with me their copy of the other translation.

I read it, and it read really differently from the translation I was familiar with, but not for the reasons I expected. It was then that I got an idea for something…

Now I previously made it clear in some of the fan translations I shared in these Carrds that I only repost translations of others only under very special circumstances (which is usually when one: the translation got taken down because the translator had deleted/deactivated their account some time ago and no other copy exists elsewhere, or two: there was some ugly drama involving the translator who then moved their translations to somewhere locked and private).

In this case, I decided to try and make a line-by-line comparison of both translations of the artbook short story. Compare and contrast is the main purpose of this document, so I don’t encourage you to use this post as your means of reading through the SS in this particular document for leisure, but at the end of the day, it depends on what you prefer.

As a disclaimer: I got permission from the one who provided the first translation to share the translation from start to finish in this post (Note: the original link for their translation is here).

For the second translation… I could ask the other translator… but according to the friend who shared with me their personal copy of the translation (so I don’t know where it really came from, and my friend doesn’t remember the original link either), the translator – who was also commissioned by someone else, apparently – opted to stay anonymous.

And again, this post isn’t for casual reading purposes. It's just for you to see the difference in both translations for yourselves.

(NOTE: It is recommended to read the document on desktop, not on mobile. That, and a HUGE spoiler warning for those who have yet to finish Fujieda’s route.)

Friendly lab- unlock ()- Review (and walkthrough)

Friendly lab was one of the bl games I was looking forward the most since announcement, not only because I like the art-style but also because it’s by Tennenouji and I love Tennenouji. It was first release for mobile and now finally for PC too, unlike the mobile version the PC version is R18+ I only played the PC version because I don’t like mobile games, so everything that’s mobile only content only, won’t be discussed here.

The first part of the review will be spoiler-free and will include a walkthrough (kinda) and general help, as well as an explanation of the game since it’s rather complex. The second part will be me pretty much explaining everything that happened in the ending and how I feel about it. So let’s start~

This is as R18+ as it gets

Story and gameplay.

The gameplay is very simple to explain, you are doing “friendly” experiences on the 2 subject Nishi (left) and Higashi (right). Both wake up together in an empty room and don’t have any memory who they are and how they got here, all they know they are stuck together in a room and someone (in this case you) are performing experiences on them. As you continue to play the two test subjects will remember more and more about their life. As you proceed you will find more and more keywords to their past. The goal here is to collect them all and unlock their memories in the span of 10 day. They are always in that room, the game’s text is only the dialogue of these two characters, there is no BMG since some of the experiments have music in them and there is also no voice acting (so you don’t hear them speak). Which sound maybe boring for some people, but I thought it was really interesting to play, partly because both characters are really well written and developed and you just enjoy spending time with them and learning about their past. The closer you get to the end of the 10 days the more intense the story gets and the more on edge you are, wondering what will happen next. The game goes from light-hearted and fun to dark and heavy in the span of the 10 days. Even if the experiences are considered “friendly” it doesn’t mean that their memories are too. There is some heavy stuff in the game which some may find disturbing and hard to swallow. So general warning here. I played all 10 day glued to my seat and ended it with pain in my heart, it hurts a lot but it was really good written.

Characters

For once I would like to mention that their names are translated in the English version, so Nishi is “West” and Higashi “East”, I’m not sure why they did it, sure that what their name means in Japanese, but I don’t see a reason to translate it. Since I played the Japanese version, I will use their Japanese names.

Nishi

Nishi always talks in polite Japanese, he looks kinda shady (according to the creator, which is true lol) but he is very kind, especially to Higashi. And from the very beginning it’s very obvious how deeply in love Nishi is with Higashi, he always comments how great Higashi is and how he loves to see Higashi make x face (basically every facial expression of Higashi) the more you play the more horny his comments get (lol). Despite being extremely horny for Higashi he has full control of himself and doesn’t do anything Higashi doesn’t want, he cherishes Higashi a lot and would always help him and even gives him his food, just to see him happy. He is very smart and loves to tell Higashi all kinds of random facts. Nishi is always smiling, and his sprite is always looking to the side so it looks like he is smiling at Higashi (hehe so cute). Normally I’m not into the polite type, but I love Nishi a lot, he is just so funny and cute and loves Higashi so much.

Higashi

Don’t get deceived by his cute face, he has a body builder body and would probably crush you in 0.2 seconds, but despite that Higashi is really cute, he has a somewhat childish attitude and loves aliens, he loves to play games and he draws if he feels like it (you can get him to draw pictures for you). Higashi doesn’t understand Nishi’s obvious flirting, he understands what Nishi is saying but he always thinks that since they are both boys it can’t be that Nishi is meaning it in such a way, but he enjoys being with Nishi and doing things with him. It's very obvious that he has some kind of trauma from his past and he often panics if he sees certain things, with Nishi always being there to comfort him. I love Higashi as much as Nishi, he is adorable and has a very cute happy smile, his past is very tragic and it hurt seeing him suffer so much, so I want him and Nishi just to be happy together.

Art & Music

As said before there is no music lol, but there is an opening which I really like.

The Cgs are drawn by queen Yura and are rather dark and lack colour, they have a very depressive vibe similar to some of the one in luckydog1+ bad egg, which I really really like. They fit the dark atmosphere of the game very well. There are some really cute CGs for Higashi and Nishi, but also a lot of disturbing CGs that are even hard to look at. Yura really did a fantastic job as always.

Short conclusion

Yes, the game is great, yes please play it and suffer with me. But if you can’t stand dark, heavy themes and see gore then I don’t recommend it, this is NOT a game for anyone who just wants to see some fluffy BL moments and cute romance, and also NOT a game for people who just want to see sex. There are, of course H-scenes in the game but, I can’t really say if watching them would make you happy. But if you’re fine with going through pain and suffer then I fully recommend it. 👍

Walkthrough and Gameplay explanation

(Short disclaimer, I don’t know how these things will be called in the English version, I just choose what I think fits best)

So, the main game is basically to find all the keywords in time before the 10 days are over. To unlock them you have to fill them out, like this

You have to do experiment to find hints for the keywords. You can find keywords in the experiences that don’t have this symbol:

You can select what experiments you want to do from these possibilities:

From left to right: Spying, Meal, Special things, Incidents, Amusement, water thingy (will be unlocked if you ask questions), question, pictures (bath and sleep) are not important The most important part are Spying - Amusement and the pictures tab You have to choose Spying basically every second time. While you can get hints in the experiments only the spying option will unlock the keywords. You don’t have to do all that the game offers you on the day but around 80% of the Spying part since you can’t watch them on the next day like with the experiments.

Important is also for Higashi to draw you pictures to unlock certain ends.

Another things which is important to get some cute Cgs between Higashi and Nishi is the “intimacy %”

Fill it up to 100% before the day is over and you get some nice CGs (The day starts at 7:30 and ends at midnight when its bed time, at 6 p.m, it’s bath time until 6:30)

You also have the option to ask them question, this is more important for other ends than for the main endings. They sometimes will request things, if you fulfill their request in time, you can choice if you want some “happy gas” or “café au lait”. Give them several of one of these things and see what will happen. (You can only give them “happy gas” while they sleep, the café au lait is the “special things” tab at the very bottom)

There is also this water thing you have to fill to see “birth” fill it out if you have time and see what happens.

I recommend you to do reach one end no matter which, because the game will unlock a hint mode once you reach an end that can be used to get all ending in the game once you unlock hint mode for end 3 and finish it you can unlock hint mode for end 5, both helpful to complete the game.

Also another important thing: YOU CANT SAVE (meaning you have to restart from day 1 if you want to do different endings

General walkthrough (I stole it from the Japanese wiki lol)

Ending 1: Follow hint mode for ending 3, don’t do 4-5 experiments that have keywords on the 10th day (I tried to get this end 2 times but failed, but apparently its an end that happens if you fail to collect all keyword in a specific way? But it’s not that important)

Ending 2: Follow the hint mode for ending 3 and choose to tell the true in the end.

Ending 3: Follow the hint mode for ending 3 and choose not to tell the true in the end. (you can get this end even without having to choose in the end)

Ending 4: finish end 3, follow hint mode for ending 3 and full the water thingy, the difference will happen after the ending 3.

Ending 5: Follow hint mode for ending 5 and do the the 5th black square experience.

Ending 6: Follow hint mode for ending 5 and do the the 5th black square experience but before you have to upload your game to version 1.5 or 1.6, you can do this by asking them question. (apparently the question with (↑) help with this but I not really sure because I also asked them just random question and it still worked. But you have to ask them a lot of question for it to work)

Ending 7: Follow hint mode for ending 3, use the “happy gas” 8 times (I don’t know if I recommend this end first or not, maybe it better to finish that in the beginning if you want to at least to enjoy the H-scenes? But you will be left with question, so keep that in mind)

Ending 8: Follow hint mode for ending 5, use the café au lait 8 times and give the 9th to Higashi, you also need to do the “a lump of ??? experiment.

Ending 9: Use the café au lait 8 times and give the 9th to Nishi, you also need to do the “a lump of ??? experiment, you need to finish ending 4

Ending 10: Follow hint mode for ending 5, do all the experiments with (★) in it, do as many experiments that raise the intimacy level as much as possible. (The one with the pink hand symbol)

Warning: If you want to play the game yourself don’t read the next part, the memory of the characters is the most important part of the game and the reason why its so interesting to play, I will talk about everything what happened in the game, only continue if you don’t plan on playing or really don’t care.

Ready?

I will spoil it all, okay?

Story

Before I played the game myself, I watched some videos of the mobile version online and really enjoyed it. It was fun to watch the characters react and although I heard form Japanese player that the game is sad, but I didn’t expect it to be, no not even bitter-sweet but a full on tragedy with no real happy end for neither of it’s characters.

Let me tell you in summary what things the memories of Higashi and Nishi will reveal. I don’t remember every single details since the memories are told in a not chronical order but I try.

In the game you mostly looking for Higashi’s memory because surprise Nishi remembers everything (explains why he has such an obvious crush in Higashi). The story basically start when Higashi was in elementary school his parents divorced and he chose to life with his mother, because Higashi really loves his mother a lot. In the first day of the experiments Higashi wants to escape so he can meet his mother again, but later we find out that his mother was actually murdered, of course Higashi wants to know why and who did it. But before the murder took place, his mother had a boyfriend after she separated from Higashi’s father, who was really controlling of her and abusing of Higashi (like with beating and all). Through the experiments we learn that Higashi was apparently tortured by various things like, burning his feet or giving him piss to drink. Baby Higashi had not a lot of friends in school and often was scared to go home. He even mentioned how a perfect day for him is a day when nothing bad happens. Because if his heavy trauma he has nightmares that he often draws pictures of (these are really scary to look at). After Higashi remember that his murder was killed, he remembers how; she was poisoned by someone, someone who gave Higashi a present his mother eat and this was what had killed her. There is another important thing Higashi’s remembers that he had an important person who ones went to a summer firework festival. After Higashi came back from this summer festival his mother’s boyfriend got so mad and beat Higashi so extreme that this poor boy was in the hospital for 2 MONTHS ((T⌓T)), after release he was put in the children care center for one month but returned home later because he couldn’t leave his mother alone who was really bad at doing everything according to Higashi. His mother’s boyfriend was actually put in jail for that, which took place in the 6th year of elementary school, his mother was killed when he was in the 2nd year in middle school. All memories he had were only until the day his mother died, everything after was still in the dark.

So now to the important question, what about Nishi? What roles does he play? Well turns out Nishi and Higashi actually knew each other before, not only knew but they were actually best friend (༶ඬ༝ඬ༶) who played together all the time after Nishi moved to Higashi’s city. Nishi’s mother had a terrible accident that lead to her being heavy injured and even killed Nishi’s unborn sister, they moved to a bigger city to care for her, Nishi’ father is a man who works with Chinese medicine, I think? Nishi went to a different elementary school than Higashi but these two still spent a lot of time together. Nishi didn’t really go to middle school because he was always helping his father with work, who was home rarely. More important, Nishi was the one who Higashi went to the firework festival with (there is this really cute picture he draws of them as babies watching the fireworks (ಥ﹏ಥ)), and not only that but he actually lived a whole month with Nishi and his mother, after the abuse thing with his mother’s boyfriend.

On the 8th night (I think) before the go to sleep, Nishi tell Higashi he has something important to tell, and then he tell him how he was the one who actually killed his mother (Σ(°ロ°)) he used a toxic flower covered with chocolate which he knew his mother would eat because HE HAD GIVEN HER POISEN FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS (now that’s a twist… apparently she was sick in some way anyways so no one had noticed it before). Higashi flips and starts to strangle Nishi asking why he would do that but Nishi wants him first to remember everything, (Also, important to note that Higashi even though he is smaller, he is stronger than Nishi) so he stops and says that he doesn’t hate Nishi because he promised never to hate anyone ever again, he just feels very sad and wants to know why he did it. The following day Higashi remembers even more time he had spent with Nishi, but also remembers that Nishi’s mother actually died later which he really feels sad about because he really liked her a lot and wanted to meet her again. At night he once again starts to strangle Nishi wanting the reason for his mother’s death but stops because he gets some really weird flashbacks of Nishi.

On the last day you collect the last memories of Higashi and get more pictures from him (which play an important role actually). Higashi also remembers that he got a call right after he saw his mother die. Once the day is over Nishi and Higashi sit down to reveal the final missing puzzle. Everything from here was hard to swallow. It was Higashi’s mother’s birthday and Nishi gave Higashi the poisonous flower which he gave to his mother, which she ate and died. Shocked, Higashi gets a call from his Nishi with Nishi telling him that he was the one who killed her, Higashi is shocked and Nishi tells him to come over to his house so he can explain why. Hiagshi rushes over completely angry at him and attacks him, Nishi tell him that he want to listen to his last request but Higashi completely flips and starts to strangle Nishi until blood starts to drip from his eyes and mouth…………Higashi actually killed Nishi in that moment, he really died and Higashi remembers it now, the worst part is that Nishi knew it, he knew Higashi would kill him for it and he actually dug a hole in his garden so HIGASHI COULD BURY HIM(……I have no words). Nishsi actually left him a letter telling what to do once he killed him, but this is where it gets even worse, once Higashi realized he killed his best friend he completely loses it and begins to hit his head against something (don’t remember what exactly) until he CRUSHES HIS HEAD AND DIES. He literally committed suicide right there on spot, he died, Nishi died, they have been dead the whole time, that’s why Higashi couldn’t remember more because there was never a future to begin with. There were only 14 years old…. o(TヘTo) Hello darkness my old friend~

Nishi didn’t know that Higashi, too died on that day and is shocked to find it out. Once all of this is out you can choose if you want to tell Higashi the true or not

-If you don’t: Nishi will tell Higashi that he killed his mother because he wanted to free Higashi from her, because as long as she lived Higashi has to care for her and never can live the life he wanted. Then Nishi tells him since he now told Higashi everything, Higashi is free to kill him, but Higashi tells him that he won’t and that he still wants them to be best friends. The only question remains, if they died when they were 14, how are they alive, why do they look older now? (around 18, 19 ) Well, this question will probably never be answered, there is no full explanation who is behind this all, why are they alive, or are they even alive? It ends how it started with them in the room together. (this is the end 3)

-If you do tell the true: Higashi will get a card and the only thing written on it is “Your mother abused you”, Yes Higashi’s mother was behind Higashi’s abuse, she did these horrible things to him not only her boyfriend, she burned his feet so he couldn’t go to school, she fed him rotten food and the piss. That’s the true reason Nishi killed her, because she abuse Higashi, but Higashi was so manipulated by her abuse that he still loved her. Once Higashi reads that he begins to remember, from the picture he drew what his mother did to him (that’s why they were important) but this is too much for him that he dies right in Nishi’s arm. Nishi follows right after. It seems Nishi knows that they can both died from that and the game hints that this experiment is constantly repeated, so they live and die in a circle. (ending 2)

Ending 2 & 3 are both like the true endings, yes this is all you get utter depression. I can’t with Nishi, he knew Higashi would kill him and yet he still couldn’t see him suffer from abuse, despite knowing the whole time he was dead he never was mad at Higashi ever he always looked at him with the most loving eyes, the love he had for Higashi was tragic, that ended in a tragedy for both of them. I can’t even be mad at Nishi or Higashi, I fully understand Nishi’s reasons and how can you be mad at Higashi for killing him when Nishi himself isn’t. Higashi was only a victim of abuse which led to all of this. If you finish the ending 3 you can read the letter Nishi wrote him before his death in the game start menu. In it it’s says how Nishi wants him to bury him in the garden and that he should go to the police after and how he saved money for Higashi so he can survive alone and there rest I will maybe know some day if I can stop crying while reading the letter………………….

Also you don’t get any H-scenes not even a kiss, this is just a full on depression game. Yet I’m still fine with it, it was a beautiful written tragedy, I just wanted them to be happy (╥﹏╥)

Ending 1: Like said I never did it because I couldn’t get it for some reason, but it’s a fail end where you fail to find all of Higashi memories and Higashi doesn’t remember killing Nishi or dying himself and Nishi doesn’t know he died (is what Japanese people told me).

Ending 4: Its basically ends with ending 3 and then you see Higashi and Nishi being reborn in some tank or some shit? Is it a hint that they were born in a labor and they only have memories from their previous life? I don’t know…You can only get this end once.

Ending 5: The black square will swallow Nishi and cut off his bottom part and he dies in Higashi’s arm. (very bloody end)

Ending 6: Same experiment as for ending 5, but this time they can pass through the square and leave the room only to end up in?? good question, it looks like outside but there is no other person also a piece of meat falls from heaven…okay?

Ending 7: The horny end lol. You have to give them the “happy gas” and Higashi gets high and horny and starts to make out with Nishi in the first night and they gradually make more nsfw things which ends with sex at the 8th time. This is the only way to get anything sexual between them, yes by drugging. The sex scene was WILD, Nishi tells Higashi that he needs to tell him thanks you for killing his mother or he won’t do xxx so he does while they go for it….eh ok. This feels even weirder if you know that they are both dead.

Ending 8: Higashi gets high from coffee and thinks he is eating his mother’s sandwich but he is actually eating Nishi’s hand….. Nishi is just fine with it (Okay Nishi you big simp)

Ending 9: Nishi gets high and remembers things he shouldn’t so the experiment is just stops?

Ending 10: Jeez, this one was the worst x.x If you raise their intimacy level really high, at night when they supposed to go to bed they let this giant man in the room ( I think it's Higashi’s mother’s ex?) and HE BEGINS TO HIT HIGASHI AND NISHI AND RAPES HIGASHI, Nishi and Higashi then try to kill him and somehow made it. It ends with Higashi crawling naked to Nishi who was laying on the floor completely covered in blood, saying that he only needs Nishi………………………………………………… WHY DO YOU GET THAT FOR RAISING THEIR AFFECTION TENNENOUJI WHYYY.

*cough* Anyway thanks for reading me suffer if you made it to the part, I’m gonna go be depressed and pray that the next BL game doesn’t rip my heart out like this did (￣￣|||)

Nie no machi Fandisk bonus story (Asuku vers.)

It might had taken a year but as promised here is the finished translation of the Asuku bonus story from the fandisk. Editor-san 2 for helped me with this and had some really nice contributions. I even bought a scanner to scan the cover :D This is all for the 5 nie no machi fans out there haha

This story is R18+ so stay away kids

Later, Asuku wearing cat ears came to console me.

It was a hot summer day; the temperature had reached over 30°C and even the news had been giving a heat stroke warning since the early morning. I was on my way to work in the burning heat, when I found a cardboard box with a carelessly written note on it stating, “we have too many, please take it.” Inside was a small crying kitten. Nearly its whole body was black, aside from the part around the kitten’s mouth and its paws, which were white, it also had a long tail. It was a pretty cat, so I didn’t understand why someone would just throw it out. The box had only a small amount of water and food in it, and I couldn’t just leave it in the blazing sun, so I took it to work. When I entered the office, most of my coworkers immediately came over. After I explained the situation to them, one of them told me they would be so kind as to take care of the kitten while I worked. However, this was only the start of all my problems. My coworker told me they were taking care of a cat for one of their friends, who was currently in the hospital. There was a risk that the kitten could get infected with a disease if he had the other cat, and because of that he couldn’t take it. After thinking about what I’m going to do with the kitten for the next 2 week until their friend gets released from the hospital, I decided to take care of it myself.

“…. And that’s what happened.” I told Asuku about everything over the phone. “Didn’t you say that you weren’t allowed to have pets in your apartment, Hisora?” Asuku asked me simply, after silently listening to me talk. “That’s right …. But there was no one else who could take it. And I couldn’t leave it at work, so I brought it home. Also, my work coworker pointed out I should put a missing report just in case, so I did that too.” “Hm, but is this really okay for you? As far as I know, you’ve never taken care of a cat, right?” “No, this is my first time, but my coworker told everything I need to know, so over the next two weeks I’ll manage it somehow.” “I see. Did you get it dewormed? How about checking it for ticks and fleas?” “I went to a vet clinic after work and got it done. They put some medicine arounds its neck. Actually, they told me it needs to go through some more examinations, so I’ll take it to the vet the next time I’m off-work.” Even while talking on the phone, the cat was walking around in my room. It was as if everything was new for the kitten and it sniffed around exploring various things. “Is it an adult?” “No, it’s still a kitten. They said it’s around 3 months old.” “Ah, so it’s around the time when it’s the cutest.” “Yeah. I bought a book on how to care for cats and was just reading it earlier. There were a lot of things about cats that I didn’t know so I was surprised.” “For example?” “Eh, let me think…. apparently, the male cat will bite the neck of the female when they mate. Sounds kind of scary.” “…. What’s with that random fact?” “Ah, but you see…. It surprised you right?!” “Haha… What did you name it?” “Stop laughing! I named it ‘Cat’.” “…. Are you serious? A cat name ‘Cat’…” “I-is that so weird?” I followed Cat with my eyes while talking on the phone. It had finally found the ball toy for cats I had bought earlier and began to play around with it. It was cute. I never had pets, so I didn’t know they could make a home feel so alive. I could have watched it forever. “…Hey, are you listening.” “What? Oh, sorry. What did you say?” “You seem busy.” Asuku told me in an amused tone. He must had sensed what I was doing. “I would love to see the cat.” “Then be sure to come by, it’s incredibly cute.”

Although I had spontaneously invited Asuku to come and visit, a week of me living with Cat had already passed. It was a really lively kitten, that had a lot of energy to sprint around. Generally, it was well-behaved, but sometimes it would surprisingly bite me in the foot when I would walk around. I even bought a 3 level-cage for it and had to keep Cat in it during the day when I was at work. As a result, it made me want to at least let it roam around freely when I was at home. Nevertheless— “Hey, I told you not to go there. The wires there are dangerous for you!” Even if I told the cat that, there was no way it would understand me, and of course I knew that, but it just kept slipping out of my mouth. Besides it’s still a kitten and curious so I never knew what it would do next. That’s why I always had to keep an eye on him, or I would feel uneasy. I would have never imagined that taking care of a one single kitten would take so much time…. I hadn’t ever had the chance to take care of a pet, so each day continued to be full of surprises. The cat kept meddling in when I was on the phone with Asuku at night, and thanks to that we couldn’t even talk peacefully. “Haa, sorry. It’s nice that it’s become so lively, but if I take my eyes off it for a second it will run off, and I can’t find it anymore.” “Animals sure are hard to deal with. They don’t understand what we say, but it doesn’t mean we can just leave them be.” “Even now, it’s behaviour seems a little strange to me.” Cat was wandering around aimlessly near the fridge. A few days ago, it had climbed in the gap between the fridge and the wall and couldn’t get out, when it panicked, I had to rescue it. I made a cardboard wall to cover the gap so it shouldn’t be able to climb in again, but….. “It will probably try to climb in again.” “In what?” “The gap behind the fridge. The last time it couldn’t get out, so I’m wondering why it’s trying to get in again?” “I heard that cats like narrow spaces. “ “There are wires in the back, that’s why I’m scared.” “Ah, I get that. ….Oh right, by the way, about the store you had said you want to go to—” “Oh no, it jumped over!” Cat moved its back in wavy motions and in the next moment did a big jump over the cardboard. Oh no, it got stuck again, although it wouldn’t be able to get out anyways because of the cardboard wall. “Hey, Cat! You can’t go there.” “…. It jumped over?” “It jumped over! Sorry, I’ll call you back!” I ended the call and immediately tore off the cardboard wall. Never had I imagined it would have such a powerful jump…. Somehow, I managed to grab Cat, who was hiding far in the back and got it out. “Why did you crawl in there?” I even took measures, so it wouldn’t climb in dangerous places, but the cat used its own intelligence trying to overcome it. Although I was impressed by its cleverness, I also just wanted it to realise the danger. “….I did something bad to Asuku again.” This whole week I been cutting off our phone conversation in the same way. I thought about calling him again, but doing something about the gap had taken priority. He had plans to come over in 2 days anyways, so I would apologize for everything then. Well, he had a gentle personality now, so I don’t think he would get angry over such a thing…. “But if he gets angry, it’s all your fault.” When I told this Cat, who I was holding in my hands, it gave me a cute meow in return.

On my day off, Asuku, just as promised, came over to hang out. I immediately tried to show him Cat, but for some reason it kept running around the room in a violent speed. “I wonder if it’s scared because it doesn’t know you.” “But didn’t it like you from the start?” “That was because it was a little weaker back then. Anyways, please wait, I will bring it over.” The trouble only started from then. While trying to catch the sprinting Cat, I also ended up running around the room. I wished I had put the cat in the cage before Asuku came over. “I said wait! He won’t do anything to you.” I tried calling it, but Cat had no intention on listening. Even though Asuku took the time to come over, all I ended up doing was chasing it. “Jeez, he really is a fast guy.” “…..” This hand to hand fight lasted around 20 minutes. Eventually, Cat calmed down and jumped at the cat toy I was holding in my hand. “Good job…. You finally decided to give in, huh? Here look at it, it’s cute, isn’t it? “It really is.” “And if you touch its fur, it will feel all smooth. It’s incredible nice to touch. Come on, touch it, Asuku!” “Alright…. Oh, it really is.” “Its eyes are really cute, too. Right now, they are already very big but if it gets dark, they get even bigger!” “I know.” The tone of Asuku’s voice sounded strange. When I looked at him, he was smiling, however I had the feeling that his expression was a little stiff. Could it be that he didn’t get along well with cats? But when we went to the zoo together before, Asuku had mentioned that he liked animals. That’s why I didn’t think he hated cats…. When I thought about it, the cat suddenly laid down. That would happen often, when it ran out of energy, it would take a nap. I wonder if it meant that if felt relaxed enough to sleep even with Asuku in the room. “It was running around the whole time and now suddenly it got bored, interesting right?” “Will it sleep for a while after running around like that?” “Yeah, I think it will sleep for some time. That’s why it’s easy to hold it right now. When I stretched out my arms to pick up the cat, Asuku used his hands to block me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards himself. “W-what’s wrong?” “It’s my turn now.” Asuku moved his face closer to mine, when our lips were about to touch, he pressed me against the wall with his hands in a rush. “T-the cat might see us.” “….” Asuku stared at me. “You’re mean.” “Whaa!” He playfully bit the palm of my hand, making my hips feel cold for a moment. My voice could wake up the cat. Somehow, it felt like we were being watched, trying to do something we shouldn’t, so I tried to come up with an excuse in my head. “I-it’s fine. We were just….playing a little.” I got embarrassed so in order to escape Asuke, I walked up to the cat. I would never have imagined he would do something like that so suddenly…. ….No, it’s wasn’t weird or anything. We were going out after all. It's just…there was a timing for such a thing. I wasn’t ready for that at all, so I accidently showed him the cold shoulder. “….” ….Asuku’s gaze hurt. But I want him to forgive me. Even if I told him that in front of Cat, I didn’t think he would accept my apology at all. “Ehm….Later? “Later.” Asuku showed a grin again, but for some reason his voice sounded cold and let a shiver run down my spine. We spent so much time taking care of Cat that before we knew it, it was already evening. So, we decided Asuku would spend the night at my place. Once we had finished eating dinner, it was time to take a bath. “….” Asuku didn’t talk a lot, it reminded me of the time we spent in the inn. He tried to invite me to take a bath together, but if we did Cat would be alone. I could have put it in the cage like I always do…..but the cat could immediately sense my intention and started going wild again, not wanting to locked in the cage. In the end, we decided to take a bath separately.

“I’m done. Thank you for looking after Cat in the meantime.” When I finished my bath and hurried back to the living room, Asuku suddenly pulled me by the arm. “Let’s go.” “Huh, where to?” “Bedroom” Asuku pulled my arm and headed towards the bedroom in a hurry— when Cat followed us, it must have sensed our intention of going to bed. “Come here, Cat. “ When I kneeled down and stretched my arms out, the cat naturally began to put its front paws on my arms—but before it could, Asuku grabbed it from the side and took it up in his arms. “What, Asuku wants to hold you, too? Isn’t that nice, Cat?” “….” Asuku was silence for a while, then turned his back at the door, that connected the living room and the corridor, block it while still holding the cat. He raised his hand a few times, while having his gaze fixed on me, somehow his eyes looked as they were begging me. Then in an ingratiated voice he said: “Hisora, Cat will sleep in the cage, so I want you to put Asuku to bed tonight, meow.” For a moment I was confused about what had just happened. When I remained frozen, Asuku doubtfully asked me “….No?” while bending his head slightly to the side. The sadness in his voice, made me realise, Asuku had been patient the whole time. Of course, I knew that, but I only had Cat on my mind. And I wanted to apologize to him about my inconsistency with our recent calls anyways…. I couldn’t let him wait any longer. “Alright. From now on…. It’s time for Asuku.”

“Aaah!" That night Asuku was relentless. He hit my prostate relentlessly in missionary position, making me cum several times. “Wow, you came again.” “B-, but, ahh! T-today….hn.” I immediately knew he was just teasing me. This was his revenge for me only thinking about Cat. He slammed into me, again and again. No matter how much I screamed, ejaculated, and turned my body around trying to escape, Asuku didn’t stop his movements. Thanks to that, my body became sticky with all kinds of body fluids. “Ha, ah?” “More, it’s not over yet.” Asuku’s persecution of me wasn’t complete. He continued to thrust deep into my hole as if trying to dig something out. It felt hot and good. With that kind of treatment, he obviously was trying to add some pain to go along with the pleasure. I knew that I was responsible for the things that had happened lately. I should had given Asuku more attention. However, even with all that wasn’t he going too far? If this were to continue, I would just end up completely dried up. “Asuku…..hn.” “What?” “Mmh. If you’re in such a mood nh, then I aah, have an idea too.” “Woa-“ Somehow I managed to push Asuku down as an act of revenge. Then I sat on him in a ridding position and pounded my hips down hard. It didn’t seem like he knew how to handle this unexpected situation and only spilled out a low moan. “Mh….gh, uh.” “Hhaha. Were you jealous…. of the cat?” I asked him in a purposely provocative way, I could sense his superiority complex by his frowning expression, while I moved my hips. When I slammed my hips with all my strength and squeezed his dick inside me, Asuku’s body kept on trembling. “So cute.” “……nh.” From then on, it was my time to be the persecutor. But as I was thinking in that way, Asuku immediately used the pause to strike back. He pushed me down again and re-inserted his member from behind. “Whoa, aah.” As if wanting to crush the dissatisfaction he had felt until that moment, Asuku once again began to thrust in a violent manner. I couldn’t hold back my voice much due to the intensity of his thrusts. “Hiso, ra…..nh.” His usual calmness had vanished too and he continued to move his hips. The strong pleasure attacked me in waving motions, colouring my mind had gone pure white. “Sorry for being jealous? But you didn’t care about me at all, did you? So the revenge is for that…..nh.” “Ha, ah! It, it feels good……nh” My voice was being squeezed out of me. I wanted to try another counterattack, but the pleasure my abdomen received was too intense and I lacked strength in my limbs. “Hah….” Sweat was running down from my forehead. I was taking breaths from deep inside my chest and my whole body was trembling. It felt good. The pleasure was too strong, I couldn’t think straight. “Asuku nh! I can’t, anymore….nh.” “I get it….but, we’re not done yet.” “No, ahh.” There was no time for complains, the feeling of my next orgasm was approaching. “Aahh.” I ejaculated again, making myself dirty. Nothing more remained for any future climaxes. Even now barely anything had come out. And Asuku should know that, yet he kept going. He even bit the back of my neck. “—Nh.” The pleasure was stronger than the pain and I ejaculated in the blink of an eye. Semen shot out of my member, making the bed sheets dirty. If I would let out a sad cry, wouldn’t it be the same thing as with cats? Was I the same as with a female cat that gets her neck bitten during mating? I thought about that in my mind while I was drowning in pleasure. “Cat is fine too, but Hisora is mine.” Asuku whispered in my ears before ejaculating, too. My insides were being filled with Asuku’s tense jealousy.

The day of me having to give away Cat came. On my day off, I put the cat into a transport box and together with all of its supplies, I handed it over to my coworker. “Ah what a cute kitten. And really beautiful, too.” “Please take care of it.” “Leave it to me. By the way, what its name?” “Cat.” “Hm? No, I mean what the name of the cat?” “I named it ‘Cat’.” “Ah…..I see.” My coworker showed me a strange smile. I wonder if it really was a weird name for a cat. The other people I told it about, also had the same reaction. My coworker and I thought for a little and finally came up with the splendid new name, “King”. In that case, it really was time to say goodbye. I was sad, but I was sure it would lead a happy life at my coworker’s place, who was more knowledgeable. In addition, I was looking forward to news about it growing up. I told myself that and send the kitten off with a smile. That night, I was talking with Asuku on the phone while crying. “I see, so it was today….. and now you feel lonely.” “Yeah, b-but I’m sure….it will be loved. My coworker-hic….is a very kind person.” I sniffled “You don’t have to cry like that, I’m still here with you.” “…. Yeah.” I replied between sniffles. The kitten was a lot of trouble while we were together, I even had become dizzy at some point because of that, and yet I would have never imagined how lonely I would feel once it was gone. I wouldn’t hear its sweet voice, the sound of it running around on the flooring, or the sound of it sharpening its claws. It was terribly quiet, and it made me terribly sad. “I…. want to have a cat someday. When we will live together, I want a cat to live with us.” “Alright. Then let’s move into a pet friendly apartment when the time comes.” “Yeah.” Since I remembered all the things about my brother, there was still, even if only slightly, memories of my brother left in the house. If I were to leave this place it would feel unforgiving, like I would throw away my brother again— but in that case, I wanted to live a new life, with a new family at a new place. “….But if possible, In the first year I want it to be only the two of us.” “Hm? Haha. Yes, I’ll make sure to have enough time for you, too.” “It’s a promise after all.” Asuku said and laughed over the line. But I’m sure if we were to keep a cat, Asuku would also fall madly in love with it. I didn’t know when that day would come, but I was now really looking forward to it.

Short Introductions to BL Games (Part 1)

For the longest time I had the idea to do a short introduction to all the different bl games I played, as a way for people to figure out if certain games are for them or not, and this day finally came. So, starting from today I will do short introductions, with a general rating of the story, characters and so on of every game. (I try to give a more neutral opinion, but some things are still based on my perception of the game) In addition I will add some extra comments on every game, so people know what to expect.

This is NOT a recommendation list, just an introduction, you decide yourself if you want to play it.

The rating goes from 1 (weak) to 5 (strong).

Higher story rating means the it's more unique and captivating.

The higher the romance is the more developed and focused it is.

Sadness level is obvious, the higher the ranting, the more tissues you need. Level of disturbing includes content that can make you feel unwell as well as the amount of rape (we know bl game writers love them) so the higher the rating the higher the the amount of it in the game.

CAGE -OPEN- (R18+)

Description:

Konno Teppei suddenly loses consciousness on his way home from work in the evening. He wakes up surrounded by ruins and old buildings. He, along with several other men, are in an abandoned amusement park.

An announcement suddenly informs them that the game is about to begin. The rules are very simple. For 8 days, the participants will continue their normal lives during the daytime. But once night falls, they will be forced into the old amusement park as the setting for their struggle to obtain a coin that will win them fifty million yen.

Genre: Action, Gore, Psychological, Violence

Story 3/5

Characters 4/5

Romance 2/5

Artwork 3/5

Sadness level 1/5

Level of disturbing 4/5

Language: Japanese, English (partly translated with Viusal Novel Reader)

Comments: It’s not voiced, the games has some really disturbing bad ends with themes like mutilation so be careful with that, the romance part is not very strong, MC is the “I don’t like guys”-type, also a good amount of rape and dub-con moments, the music of the games is really good, the game has several sequels and remake will be released soon

Gakuen Heaven 2 ~Double Scramble!~ (R15+)

Description:

Bell Liberty School, known as BL School. A near-legendary boarding school attended by elite students chosen from all over the country.

By some stroke of luck, I, Yuki Asahina, am among those chosen to attend this school. But on my first day, I was suddenly given a mysterious armband. Of all things, this armband is apparently the symbol of the ace of the school, the Student Body President.

Wait--does that mean I'm now the Student Body President?!

But there's no time to celebrate. Because the Student Body President has been reduced into nothing but a powerless servant....

Genre: School life, Comedy, Slice of life

Romance 3/5

Artwork 4/5

Sadness level 1/5

Luckydog 1 (R18+)

Description:

It all starts with the slam of a prison door. Four captains from the same Mafia family, the CR:5, are taken out in one fell swoop and left to rot behind bars.

Lucky for them, our hero’s already there.

Gian’s just a run-of-the-mill wiseguy, passing his time doing petty jobs for the family when he’s on the outside and living the lazy life when he’s in the slammer. But those easy days come to an end when he gets word from the boss: if he can break the captains out, Gian will earn a spot at the top of the hierarchy.

Can he pull off a job this big, or is it more than even Gian’s fabled good luck can manage?

A jump back to the past: Re-visiting Dramatical Murder (Review)

This took way too long to write but anyways —

10 years ago (yes, I’m old) I started playing BL games (Yes, I was already legal of age) with my first being Togainu no chi and dmmd shortly after, so as a small “anniversary” I thought I re-visit both games and see how they stood the course of time.

To have no influence on any translation, I played it completely in Japanese and it did affect my opinion.

Just a warning, I’m going to be harsh here, so if you can’t stand me judging your favourite game better not read it, of course not all is going to be negative.

Story

If you ask me what the story of this game is, I would just shrug. “Clown antagonist doing clown things but in most routes it doesn’t even matter”? The story is not really exciting most of the time MC is busy running through the LI routes as far as possible. The game wastes no time getting right to the problem of the route, leaving no time for you to really get to know the characters and develop a bond to them, which leads to you not caring about whatever happens with them. There are more than enough plot-holes, which you have no choice but to accept. Romance is forced and doesn’t feel proper developed, like they had run out of time and decided to end it, leading to my next point: the individual routes are way too short, playing them feels like you’re just checking off things that needed to be included in the story rather than playing a coherent route.

There is no sense of time in this game (especially in the routes), the characters are busy sleeping more than anything, the days feel like they’re only last 2h, you don’t see them do normal things (like eating, showering) often. Also, I hate how they made this cool concept of Rhyme and then just never used it for something more? What was even the point then???

Characters

Aoba

I have conflicted feeling for Aoba, I felt bad for him in some routes. He didn’t do anything wrong, but he was the one who had to apologize for his partner doing shit? But most of the time I didn’t really like him, for once his Tsundere-ness was getting on my nerves, the LI shows him his feeling and this man goes “agdhdhs” and starts blushing, telling his partner he is baka/childish whatever. Him going from “Man don’t kiss each other” to “I love to kiss man” made no sense, I don’t even get why he is running after 80% of the Love interest in the game, half of them treated him like shit and the other half was served to his feet and he just accepted it with no development at all.

Another part I really dislike is how unbelievable stupid he can be, the story would move so much faster if he actually used his brain for once and not spend 70% of the day sleeping. Despite being old enough he acts like a child, especially with Noiz, I don’t know if this was supposed to be “cute” but it sure enough wasn’t for me.

He is just the very stereotypical BL Tsundere MC who is not especially smart but for some reason is super strong (even if he was too much of an idiot to actually use his powers).

Mink

I played Mink’s route first because it the one I remembered almost nothing from. And first I would like to say that I do like routes/ending that go away from the traditional “get to know fall in love” elements in bl routes. And I did like that, but what I didn’t like is the stupid force rape in the middle which is another case of “more forced H-scenes to get them to a certain number”. Yeah, yeah I get it he tried to pull out the other Aoba but it felt just unnecessary.

Despite that I though the ending part of the route was rather interesting showing in a way that Mink cared his teammates and Aoba enough to not get him involved in his revenge part. Sadly, the whole route cuts off before any further explanation from Mink or the full reunion with Aoba is shown, which lets most player being angry at Mink than anything else. And there is no happy end H-scene which kinda sucks because all you get is rape and sex forced by drugs. It's fine if they wanted to write a different kind of story but either pull through with the no romance plot or continue it, don’t just let you player stuck in the middle.

I’m going to jump to Re: connect too because I feel like you can’t talk about Mink’s route without mentioning it.

Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for Aoba to follow a person who hurt him (but we just pretend Aoba is just that kind of a good person, and hey what makes sense in this game anyways) In my personally opinion (before anyone gets the pitchforks ready) I thought they work best as a couple and this is the route, in which Aoba experiences the most grow.

Let me explain, rather than forever living his boring life on the island he actually goes out to see the world and lives in a completely new country, takes on responsibilities and gets to know and (respect) another culture. Not only that but he also drops his Tsundere act, starts to be more demanding of his desires, and gains more confidence. He doesn’t give up even if he is rejected and shows his feelings more open without becoming a blushy mess, and I really appreciated that. In addition, we get so see a complete new (or rather the actual) side of Mink who is a very calm and soft person and normally wouldn’t lay a hand on anyone.

And before I go on a ramble on how much I love their Drama CD I stop here.

Clear

Clear was always my favourite character back in the old days, but his route was never my favourite and now after replaying I know why. The reason is his route sucks, let me explain there is a severe lack of romantic development, from the start on we see Aoba being really rude to Clear, even using violence on him, even though Clear was just trying to be nice, it’s obvious he doesn’t understand certain things, but no-brain Aoba doesn’t seem to get it.

Going from that to him suddenly being in love in like 3 days just doesn’t make any sense, did just a little singing and Clear talking about the meaning of life the trick? or maybe it was his face? Who knows.

And now I will get all the pitchforks turned at me again, but I have to say it: Clear being attracted to Aoba, yes even in the “like” way, felt forced because of the whole “him being his Master thing”. It felt like Clear only like him and was attracted to him because of his voice and not to Aoba as an individual person.

What also really annoyed me was that nothing basically happened, the days were over before they even started. They arrived in platinum jail, went to sleep, woke up, conflict, day over back to bed, repeat. The dying sex scenes was ridiculous too, another case of “I have no idea where to put the sex-scene so let’s make it drama and let them have sex while Clear is basically dying.

I have one positive thing to say, I liked how clear dropped speaking polite when he was talking to Toue and the alphas, it really showed how he disrespected them.

Noiz

From all routes I feel like Noiz got the “best” romance development. (or rather the only with any at all). Even though the plot is rushed as always and immediately tries to show you what’s Noiz life problems are, it didn’t feel out of nowhere and thrown together like the other route, even though the whole thing takes place in like what 3 days?

Personally, it annoyed me how Aoba tried to act as if he is so much older and wiser than Noiz, despite being more immature. How did he even “fix” Noiz? It didn’t look like his problems were only mental related but I guess Aoba’s power is so great it can fix everything, sugoi sugoi ugh.

What I liked about the route is how Noiz slowly (as slow as it gets in 3 days) grew to like and be worried about Aoba, at least if felt like a little romance development compared to the rest that had none. If ask what my favourite part of the route is, I would say when they had the Rhyme rematch at the end of his route and Noiz lost on purpose because he didn’t want Aoba to get hurt, that was really sweet of him and showed how much he cared— before they went and ruined Noiz by making him and asshole who suddenly wanted to show dominance in Re: connect, but that a story for another day.

KoujakuClownjaku

God I can’t stand this man, what a rude asshole, womanizer big ewww and yikes. I don’t get why he needed to be so fucking rude to every one of them, if not Aoba he treats everyone like shit expect his women, talking in a very rude way even though no one did anything to him or Aoba.

This man even got me to feel bad for Aoba, poor Aoba was constantly ditched and Clownjaku didn’t even bother to explain, I don’t care how much he didn’t want Aoba to be involved, he already was, so why did he had to ignore him and treating him like a child who can’t protect himself. They barely set a foot in platinum jail and he already was running, poor Aoba he deserves better, and HE WAS THE ONE WHO HAD TO APOLOGISE FOR KOUJAKU RUNNING OFF I'M—Don’t even get me started how stupid his plot with his “evil tattoo” is, not excuse enough to almost rape Aoba, he doesn’t get enough hate for that in my opinion. “Tattoo” my ass it was obvious he knew what he was doing. -_-

Their romance development was non-exiting and it basically went to hey we’re friend lets be boyfriend, worst writing, fuck him, he deserves all the hate.

Ren

Plotwise the best route. While in other route the whole “Toue wants to control people” felt more like a clown-show than serious threat, here it actually felt like they really were in some kind of danger. Well, I expect at least something from a true route. The pacing was pretty alright (maybe because we didn’t spend most of the time taking care of the problems of the LI) Aoba’s past reveal was kinda just thrown at you. But overall, from the plot I would say this was the best written as far as it goes because this whole game is full of plot holes that just don’t make any sense or are not explained and you just have to accept it as it is.

Romance-wise though, oh boy the whole Ren is a part of myself thing (and later in his twin brother’s body) was just weird to me, as well as playing the H-scenes. I don’t get why Aoba suddenly had all the hots for Ren but ok I guess? Still better than Koujaku HAHAHAH

Artwork

I always wanted to say it, I hate the character designs in this game, especially with Aoba himself, from all colours to choose from they gave him the worst blue for his hair, the worst hair style (a mullet really?) and the worst clothes and decided THE CLOTHES NEED TO BE THE SAME UGLY BLUE ugggghhh. Every time he was on screen, I just wanted to stab my eyes out, the shoes THE SOES the ugly yellow socks WHYY (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻

Everyone else doesn’t look better, Noiz looks like you let a 14-year-old choose his own clothes, Koujaku looks like he clicked the random button in a thrift store and clear looks like he wore random clothes, he found in his grandpa’s closet (which is fair I guess).

The rest of the game looks to flashy for my liking and the colouring is very simple, which I didn’t like but it’s all up to taste.

Music

I don’t really like the music because I don’t like electro music, but I do like the opening song, which is so bad that it makes it good again. The OST was alright, I guess? Nothing to special, my only complain would be the track used for the H-scenes, sounded just weird.

Conclusion

This game is not good. I don’t understand where the hype comes from, it feels rushed, lacks story and romance development and the characters aren’t especially good. The common route felt more like I was playing a 12+ game than a 18+ BL game, everything feel very goofy and the whole “plot” felt more like they tried make up something so there would be some kind of story.

Yes, this is my way to say this game aged badly, I can only imagine new player, who never played a bl game before would maybe enjoy it (that was me 10 years ago), but if you play it after experiencing actually good games you will be disappointed. Going back to this after so long just showed me how much it’s lacking. A big disappointed and by far the worst written nitrochiral game.

Extra:

From what I remember from the fan-patch the translation was actually pretty well except the obvious part of TL-team hating Mink and making him extra rude—he wasn’t. Koujaku was the rudest character, dropping the most insults. There were parts that weren’t correct but from what I read in Japanese it sounded like what I remembered.

Dmmd fan-patch

So it came to my attention that the dmmd fan-patch is not available anymore because I certain company that's name starts with the letter J had to go around and delete it, because they wanted their ""professional"" version to be the only one. that's why I would like to make it available again, so people are not forced to pay money to this garbage. Send me a PM if you're interest in playing the fan-patch and I will share it with you ( ´ ▽ ` )

Kuu no Mori Review

Hello welcome on my „Playing BL games no one ever heard of” game journey. Kuu no Mori was recommended by a friend who didn’t play the game themself (lol). Apart from the obvious yaoi-core art of the early 2000s the story had me interested. So, I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did because I did enjoy it. There will be spoiler but they will be in an extra part, in case someone actually wants to play it (don’t believe it but just in case).

18+ you know the deal

Story

Basically the main character Yukimura Takashi is on his way to his grandpa’s (great grandpa’s?) funeral, but on his way his car breaks down in a storm in the middle of a forest. Luckily for him he finds a mansion nearby and is invited to stay by the butler until the road, that is blocked by the storm is clear again. Of course, this is not a normal mansion and soon mysterious things begin to happen….

So, in this game basically all characters have a route. There is the butler, the maid, the son of the owner, his cousin, the gardener, the doctor and a mysterious route with a character you won’t see until you pretty much played all routes.

The game has bad, normal, spiral, brute, dream, good and best ends, you need to play at least one end until you can play the best end.

One bad end in ever route is just MC returning home, which is something I don’t count as a “bad” end but ok. The brute ends are usually the “true” bad ends of the game. Spiral ends always end with MC dying and him returning to the part where he just arrived at the mansion.

Also, the game can have MC as bottom or top depending on the route. Or both.

Characters

Yukimura Takashi

(Poor bitch, always ends in the bdsm basement)

The main character was actually alright, he wasn’t stupid and could think for himself, he also didn’t mind falling for a guy and for a 2004 stone age bl game that alone is impressive. He could also be an asshole, especially when he was top, but usually he was kind. My only complaint would be that he was falling way too fast for the LI. The LI would lick his finger and this idiot would dream 3 days about it.

Sakuraba Hayato

(Yes I had to use that face)

The cousin I played first because he has Miki Shinichiro’s va cough cough. I don’t usually like the playboy characters, but he was alright, I guess? He did sexual harassed the MC but nothing too bad. Of course, he had the “tragic backstory” what else did I expect? But overall, an ok route.

*Spoiler part*

So, the MC mentioned often how he looks sad when he talk about love and we later learn that the woman he loved drowned in a pond near the mansion when they wanted to run away and now she is basically haunting him and doesn’t want him to leave her (ghost?). In all best ends and some other ends after the LI and MC get together, the mansion suddenly catches fire, so they have to flew. In one of his bad ends his ghost girlfriend blocks him from leaving lmao ok. In the best end they successfully escape with the dead girlfriend’s blessing and live together, also the mansion basically vanishes, and they later find out that no one knew the mansion or the people who lived there actually existed.

Nanase Mao

(Thats actually a pretty CG)

The maid, yes this is a guy, and he is not even hiding it lol. He basically sleeps with everyone in the mansion and loves cute dresses. His route was also ok, not my type of character because no matter how much I know he is a man my brain thinks instantly “woman” when I see him. MC was kinda a dickhead in his route, but he apologized so it’s alright. He had the “prettiest” CGs in the game.

*Spoiler part*

The reason he always wears cute dresses is because his mother would only pay attention to him when he wore them because yes, she wanted a girl, so he got used to wearing them. And the reason why he sleeps around is because he likes it when people love his body the way it is and not because he wears cute dresses. So actually, I liked his good end way more than the best end, because in the good end he cuts his hair and starts wearing man clothes and only sometimes wears his dresses. Rather than just liking cute dresses I felt like he was wearing them in a way to deal with not being accepted by his mother, so him starting to reject this felt more like he started to finally get over this. In the best end he lives with MC as basically a girl and works at a cosplay café.

Takahama Kengo

(Mmh sexy sharp quality pic, I’m sorry the game is so old you can’t even play fullscreen)

Oh god how do I even start….This man is trash, his only goal is to sexual harass the MC and he uses all chances he gets. He even tried it in other routes. Oh, also did I mentioned I don’t like doctor characters? Because being a doctor is their only personality and their reason for becoming a doc is always “I lost someone important to me bla bla” zzzz.

Dear reader it’s time to scarify another victim to the trash pile. Hooray hooray!

*Spoiler part*

Doc became doc for sick brother, brother dead, he sad now needs to sexual harass MC. MC srupid idiot can’t escape his “great” finger work bla bla, they escape bla bla doc is some beast in bed pfffff whatever get this man away from me.

Onoda Seiichirou

(Look at the small hamster on his shoulder (∗´ ᨔ `∗) )

The gardener and my personal favourite. He only shows up to introduce himself in other routes and you won’t see him until you play his route. He looks intimidating but he is such a sweetheart. Him and MC spend the whole route talking about flowers, he is like a Disney princess but instead of animals the plants love him. He also has a cute hamster that lives in the forest and comes to sit on his shoulder sometimes?? How cute is that??Also him being bottom in the good end had me very surprised.

*Spoiler Part*

In his good end MC stays together with him in the mansion and they live happy after buuuut, in his best end after he and MC escape the burning mansion and pass through the forest it turns out that he is actually a part of a tree that grows in the greenhouse, that took the form of a human and because he is connected to the mansion he can’t existed outside it. So, he starts to turn back into a tree but not before telling the MC, that he loves and is glad to have met him. After the tree turns into sand and MC fully devastated brings the sand back home and plants it, from which a red rose grows that in flower language means “I love you”. Honestly? What a great end, I love different ending than the usual “they lived happy ever after” kind of endings, the story was really cute, and they had great chemistry and yes, I’m a little sad over the end but I think letting it end this way made it more special.

Kishiwada Shounosuke

(His head looks like an avocado)

The butler of the mansion. From the very beginning this man was scary and always felt like he hidden side to him, and as expected I didn’t enjoy his route, his polite way of talking just freaks me out and his good and best end were not eh how should I say it “enjoyable”. The only good part about his route is that you will find out more about the mansion. To play his best end you have to play the best end of the former four characters.

*Spoiler part*

There is no “good end” in his route, he is evil and wants to get rid of the MC because he is too close to the mansion owner’s son. Good end and best end have no difference they both end with MC being locked up in the bdsm basement. The normal end is maybe would I consider a “good” end where MC stays with him (without ending in the bdsm basement) but it’s hinted that he plans on killing him later on, also he can be bottom in the normal end. The more important part is that in his route we find out that the former owner who lived in the Meiji period (1868-1912) killer his adoptive son, who he had a sexual relationship with and his son’s lover who he tried to run away with because the pedo father kept his son locked up in the mansion, and then put a curse on the mansion. Alrighty then.

Ayasegawa Yuuri

(My friend said his eyes make him look like a bug HAHAAHAHA)

The son of the mansion owner and what I consider the “true route” of the game. He is very cold to the MC in the beginning and always tells him to leave. His good end is unlocked from the beginning, but I recommend doing the other characters first. Not my kind of character but he had all the keys to the mystery of the mansion, so it was still interesting to play, and he had the most ends, which took forever to complete.

*Spoiler Part*

Let’s get straight to the point, Yuri’s father, the mansion’s owner moved with his wife in the mansion after it was abandoned for a few year. There his wife had Yuuri but died a while later after giving birth to him and his father was so in grieve that he promised to always protect Yuuri and never let him leave the masion.

From what I understand the curse of the mansion made him go crazy and one day when he Yuuri tried to run away he killed him and after realising what he had done he set fire to the mansion that killed everyone in it. But probably through that curse the mansion and the forest surrounding it were thrown into a time loop that always end with Yuuri dying and the mansion being burning down. (This is where the name of the game, “Kuu no Mori” meaning “empty forest” comes from)

Yuuri is the only one who has the memory of the time loops, his father on the other hand, had being unconscious since the first time-loop, so even without his father doings Yuuri just randomly dies at some point and the mansion burns down.

This is where the MC comes into the story. At some point Yuuri starts having dreams about MC and his life. Which ended with MC being able to enter the time loop. After he tells the MC about it, they try to escape the mansion, that is burning yet again. (MC disturbing the time loop so now it can burn without Yuuri having to die first). Of course, they are stopped by the evil butler (what a surprise) who tries to get Yuuri back.

At some point it was also revealed that MC and Yuuri each had an amulet that belongs to Yuri’s father and MC’s great grandfather who were friends and had it made so they always could always remember each other when they were apart. (Just normal bros having friendship amulets, no homo) These amulets got close to each other during the fight with the butler the energy kinda released the spirit of MC’s great grandpa (who’s funeral MC was heading to) who tells the butler to stop, and then we learn that the soul of the butler and the father got mixed at some point and he start doing all this shit because of his obsession with Yuuri. So, after MC great grandfather menages to convince him to let Yuuri go they can finally escape (yay).

And here is a different between the good end and the best end. In the good end Yuri can’t exist in the world outside the time loop because he died long ago, but in the best end he can for some reason and there was no explanation why he could suddenly, but consider how the other characters could also leave the time-loop without dying it’s fine I guess? So anyways they escape, the time loop is finally broken, and the souls of the other characters are finally released and MC and Yuuri live happy ever after.

…The end right ? Nope

Dio

(Ah yes great I love furry )

Welcome to the locked route of the game and yes you see correctly, that’s a wolf…. This whole route felt like the developer finished the game, celebrated by having a weed party, got too high and wrote an extra route. But don’t worry we suddenly didn’t turn from boys love to bestiality love, he also has a more “human” version in the appearance of an gorilla HAHAHAHAHA (kill me).

(The zoo called they want their gorilla back)

*Spoiler part*

Dio, whose full name is Diosdor*ze¥*fi&ctle$#& (no this is not a joke) is some kind of…. I have no idea honestly, God? Spirit? Yokai? Whatever he is stuck in the time-loop, and nothing is really explained because he doesn’t really speak like a normal human. MC becomes besties with him talks with him for like 2 day plays rock-scissors-stone with him and gets his ass ripped and it ends with Dio finally being free and taking him up the sky or some shit to show him where he came from??? ……..I have no words, the hell?

Anyways let’s pretend that route never happened.

Art and Musik

Lmao yes beautiful yaoi faces they had, I had a good laugh from it, some CGs where not too bad if they didn’t show their giant chins. But overall, it wasn’t too bad in my eyes, I can ignore the artwork if the story is enjoyable. Every character had its own background music, so instead of different music for different scenes the music of the character you were talking with was playing.

Conclusion

Would I recommend the game? Yes, sure why not, I had fun. With such old games I can’t go around judging too hard, why should I complain about something so old, it’s just how games where back them and honestly compared to some newer trash I played *coughdystopianooucough* I rather take this game. Of course the romance development maybe felt a little fast but the route where rather short, and honestly I didn’t care about the romance in the game I just wanted to know what was wrong with the mansion. Overall the whole game didn’t felt rushed at all. There was less rape (outside the bad ends) than expected (only 1 scene I think?) and the characters were fun and MC not stupid (god bless). Also I skipped all H-scenes HAHAHAHA. So yeah I had fun and I will look into some older game now more often.

Kawase’s stuffed animal (Kawatama SS)

Tamamori’s POV

Large raindrops poured down the window. Just two more raindrops and I will get up… I think to myself lazily, when the ringing of the doorbell shook the air. I threw off the bed cover and gathered my clothes which were scattered around the room. While putting on my clothes, I arrived at the front door right as Kawase received the package.

“It- it’s something I ordered!”

I stumbled over first part of my sentence. Kawase is clever, so I don’t think he wouldn’t notice me shaking.

“I see. That was Naoshi-kun right now, wasn’t it?”

“Eh!? It must be a mistake! You’re still just half-asleep!”

I stole the box from Kawase and headed for the living room. It had to be me, who would open this box. Quickly I unwrapped the box and showed Kawase its contents. When he saw the two dolls, he was speechless.

---

“T-this is you! Kawase!”

“…” An empty smile. Raised eyebrows. The smile on its face was just like the one he’d show after belittling me… Although I’m the one who requested it.

“…Huh, it’s slightly gentle.”

“What?”

“No, I’m talking about this one.”

“You didn’t tell them, ‘Please make his smile vicious’, did you?”

“As expected from you Kawase, you have a good account of yourself…”

“How rude of you. So, tell me who did you really requested these from?”

“The company’s secret.”

“Clever response.”

No matter how you look at it, Kawase and a doll don’t match. Right now, he is smiling but it’s possible that it will vanish in the next moment. I still have a grudge over my light blue chalk being thrown away when I was a child.

“Ah, now the glaring starts.”

“I will take care the Kawase-doll, while you can do whatever you want with the Tamamoridoll.”

“…” “Hm?... What’s wrong?”

While I was brushing the doll against my chest, Kawase was looking at me with a serious expression. Ah, there it is. It’s time for the mystery’s conclusion by the famous detective.

“A person who knows Tamamori-kuns’s and my characteristics well… . Someone with skilled hands. As far as I can tell Naoshi-kun didn’t made it himself.

“….” “If we include Naoshi-kun, then maybe it was from the girls at the café?”

I brought the Kawase-doll closer to my face and took a good look at it. His expression was the exact same as the one on the doll.

“When I’m with Tamamori-kun. This is the type of face I make.”

“That’s true…”

“A really gentle face, right?”

“D-don’t say that yourself.”

“You’re the one who called it gentle.”

Once again, he is blaming someone else….

“But isn’t it a little sad to have them separated?”

“!?”

“Let’s display them together.”

The unusual proposal momentarily stopped me. But I nodded in agreement.

Tamamori’s stuffed animal (Kawatama SS)

Kawase’s POV

On a certain rainy holiday. A sender-less package arrived.

The delivery man lowered his hat further hiding his face, then left in a hurry.

The time from the doorbell ringing to receiving the package took only 30 seconds.

When I turned around, Tamamori-kun was standing there breathing heavily.

It was the face of someone who just woke rushed over.

“It- it’s something I ordered!”

“I see. That was Naoshi-kun right now, wasn’t it?”

“Eh!? It must be a mistake! You’re still just half-asleep!”

All I heard were broken words. Tamamori-kun took the box from me and turned towards the living room.

Then he lowered himself carefully on the sofa and began to unwrap the box happily.

Inside were two stuffed animals. …. Two? Two dolls? Two stuffed animals?

Shit, now I’m a bit confused.

---

“Look Kawase! It’s me!”

“…”

“Mh, what’s with the bed head?”

“I think it’s a nice reproduction.”

“Do I really have a ku*-shaped hair strand? (TN: He is talking about the strand of hair on the top of his head that resembles the hiragana く)

Every morning, every evening and in the middle of the day. You even have it now. Don’t tell me he hadn’t noticed it himself yet?

“Yours has blue eyes.”

“I requested for them to be blue.”

“How did it come to that?...”

“Well, I tell you the details later.”

He was talking about it so proudly as if he made it himself. My interest began to stir slightly, and I held Tamamori-kun’s doll up with my hands.

“Light. And softer than I thought.”

Both of my hands were gripping it’s sides, and naturally I lifted the doll up into the air.

“….!”

It resembled an adult holding up a child who’s squealing “Higher, Higher”. A ray of sunshine came through the window and illuminated my feet.

“Ka…..Kawase…!”

“!”

My eyes were opened wide in disbelief of my own actions. Tamamori-kun was also in shock. What is this feeling? Then, the doll was snatched away by Tamamori-kun. His angry face was full of varying emotions.

“Didn’t you want to be caressed?”

“T-this was my plan, but ….!”

“…”

“We’ve been very busy lately. So, I thought while you’re away, I could use this instead~…but! It’s useless after all.”

“?”

“Don’t look at the doll so passionately!”

“I didn’t.”

“Yes, you did!”

“So, are you saying you want to be caressed like a child?”

“!?”

Tamamori-kun widened his nostrils more than he had ever before. Then his face turned completely red.

“I-In that case….. F-f-feel free to caress me as much as you want…”

Mahoutsukai to Tenshi to Akuma Review

I’m not a big fan of fantasy setting but I’m running out of BL games to play so I decided to give it a try. There is nothing I can really spoil in this game, but I won’t mention any real spoiler.

Warning: 18+

Story: The game is about a wizard who lived in a forest with his grandpa (or just some old man not sure, Japanese language moment) and some day a bunch of angry people decided they need to set their forest on fire. So now MC is wounded and has to make the choice to take the hand of light or darkness.

Darkness: In the darkness route you take the hand of the demon named Lobelia and he will lure MC named Lucil to make a contract with him. As a reward Lucil gets back his forest, his home, the grandpa and revenge on the people who did that to him. He himself must do these things: Never leave the castle of Lobelia, always give him his body whenever Lobelia wants it (he want Lucil’s magical power). The contract will last 3 months. Lobelia also puts a binding spell on him so he can’t just escape. Lucil is however free to do as he wants in the castle. A good deal as Lobelia mentions and I agree.

This is the first route I played and if you ask me if I enjoyed it, I would say no. Basically nothing happened. MC is really salty at Lobelia for making that contract even though he agreed? So 80% of the route is spend on finding a way to get rid of it. Lobelia only shows up to snack him and leaves. Lucil doesn’t even bother to actually try to get into contact with his partner he is too busy barking at him the moment he shows up.

The main character is what I hated the most about this game he is so mad constantly and such an annoying tsundere, I just couldn’t deal with him. The whole time I just wanted to slam my head against a wall because of him. I really don’t understand why he was so mad.

Anyways after 80% of the route was spent on trying to find a way to get rid of his binding spell, Lobelia releases him himself and MC decided to stick with the contract because at this point, he got so horny for Lobelia that he doesn’t want to run away anymore. Then some “big twist” happens and the route ends after it.

As for Lobelia himself, I actually really liked him because for a demon he wasn’t really evil? He was really kind to the MC never violent, mostly just horny. I just wish they did more with him, he was really ridiculous sometimes and childish in a way.

Generally the route felt like the “porn” route, Lobelia has probably 95% of all H-scenes in the game, 3 in his good route and the rest is in the bad end and angel’s bad ends. The choices are really bad paced too, most of the time you spend rejecting the angel who came to take Lucil away from Lobelia and the last choice is way before the end of the route.

Light: In the light you choose the angel Flow as your partner. He will take Lucil to the hospital he works at as a doctor and treat his wounds. When Lucil recovers, he will start help Flow with his work. The route was way better paced than the Lobelia’s, and something actually happened, most of it is just slice of life but hey at least I didn’t have the desire to slam my head against the wall constantly.

There was actual romantic development, so they had a good amount of time to get to know each other. Sadly I could not get fully into it because my hatred for Lucil was burning strong at this point but maybe people who don’t hate him as much as I do would really be into it, there were some good dokidoki moments. Flow himself was such a cutey, he is very pure (makes sense he is an angel after all) but I didn’t expect him to be an airhead and such an idiot. He is a kind person from the heart and always wants to help anyone. As an angel who came down to earth to help humans he isn’t allowed to use any angel power, if he does he will be punished really bad but he is an idiot so he still does it and gets hurt in the progress. Flow’s cuteness is the reason I don’t dislike this route and actually could finish it. Lucil for no reason at all, was even more mad at him than Lobelia and was constantly barking at him in the beginning (I really want to slap his face with a pan) and later on very tsuntsun of course to a point Flow had to beg him to tell him that he likes Flow.

Artwork: The art is really pretty, beautiful CGs. Pretty background, sadly nothing to special going on in the CGs because it’s mostly a slice of life game. I was so hoping to see a CG of Flow in his angel version but there was no (cry cry). Also, no cool fight CG with angel and demon. Why even make such pretty art when you don’t even use it for anything?

Conclusion: Would I recommend the game? Eh maybe if you have nothing else to play and mostly for Flow. As much as I liked Lobelia they could have done more with him… It felt like he just existed. As much as I wanted to like the game, it wasn’t really that great. I’m glad I played darkness route first or else I would have probably dropped it in the middle of the route. H-scenes are not really entertaining for me so there was nothing that kept me sticking to it. Congratulation to Lucil he made it in my “MC I hate the most” list, right behind the MC from steal. He was a good reminder that I still hate the tsundere type. I was constantly wishing the MC was different in Flow’s route so I could at least enjoy the romance. My mind is really conflicted about this game, it’s a constant fight between the “LI were so fun” and “fuck MC”, I think I need to think about it for some time or maybe it just wasn’t for me. Oh yeah thes bad endings are way too long and take forever, its one of these game where you get a bad end later on if you make the wrong choice in the beginning.

Regarde Moi Continuation (Tamamori’s POV)

“Should we go see the cherry blossoms?”

“…”

It’s early afternoon on a warm day in April. Kawase’s brief comment has me frozen in place. I nervously put the writing brush away and quietly stand up from the chair. If I were to turn around, would he be smiling while looking out the window? Go see the cherry blossoms, he said. “…Why?” “Because cherry blossoms are pretty.” “Wh-….! Wh-….!” What a surprise. A moment ago, I was in the middle of studying for the entrance exam. It had been several hours without any verbal abuse. The moment I start thinking something was off, I received this line. “That’s why I want to see the cherry blossoms.” “Have you lost your mind?!” “What do you mean?” “An Oni saying he wants to see the cherry blossoms. No wait, could it be that you …!” “?” “…! ….!!” “Could it be what?” “No, I’m praying it was just a misunderstanding… I’ll ask again, by saying ‘I want to see the cherry blossoms’ you actually mean that you want to go to see the cherry blossoms?” “Hm? Yeah.” Lately, his words hold no deeper meaning to them. He doesn’t have any presence. He comes home without making any noise and drinks his cold coffee absentmindedly. Besides, the hand that’s teaching me is gentle. Even if I give a wrong answer, he doesn’t get angry every single time like before, and he’s even started to comment on my scribbles.

…..All of this makes things all the more strange. Finally, I stand up from the table and draw closer to him. “Show me the examination papers.” “?” “Show me.” He won’t even look me in the eyes. I give him the papers half-heartedly. “That’s a problem, you got everything wrong.” He cleanly folded the paper in four. …Something is strange after all, he is being too kind. I take the water jug and slowly approached him from behind. I should cool down that head of his. “Tamamori-kun.” “!” “Let’s go to Ueno……I have something important I want to talk to you about.”

He put on a new mask and his coat and without taking anything else he leaves the room. After just standing still for a while, I immediately follow him.

No matter how you look at it, even from an outsider view, it’s weird. …Unfamiliar, short-lived, not like him. While trying to get a good look at him, we arrive at Ueno’s promenade.

The cherry-blossoms are beautiful, that’s why we came here. Everyone who is at peace is gathering here. Kawase’s presence in the middle of it is sticking out. There is no other man who doesn’t fit into a cherry blossom scenery as much as him. “Kawase. So, this really was what you were talking about.” “What was this about before?” “You have no intention of burying me here?” “…” “I thought you planned to push me into the Shinobazu pond and bury me under the cherry-blossom tree once I’d become too exhausted to move.” “Do you even have any proof of me wanting to kill you?” “Well, you see…” “You don’t have to study anymore.” “!” Rather than being angry, I’m terrified. It’s the smile of an Oni. The smile of the devil. Kawase’s smile. Even with the mask I can see his expression clearly.

“Wh-what do you mean?” “You’re also happy with me being at ease and not angry right?” “Ye-s.” I hold my head in an exaggerated way and get closer to him. “I won’t try to hide it. …even if 100 years were to pass by, I wouldn’t pass and make it into the imperial university. I realised it with the exam.” “…I noticed it in the first year.” “I’m sorry. …Was this the important thing you wanted to talk about?” “…” He doesn’t confirm or deny this, just wanders off ahead of me. What is it? This Kawase is flimsy like paper. I was frightened since the morning, but it seems my guess was incorrect. It’s certain, that I’m a big idiot, that’s why I thought he might have fallen out of love with me. “I’m glad I came here with you. The Sakura and the lotus pond are both beautiful, it’s like heaven.“ “I get goosebumps when you say things like this.” “I don’t have to help you with your studies anymore. …So goodbye.” “What?” Even when I try to walk in front of him, he is constantly turning his face to the side. “What are you hiding? Look at me!” “Don’t be so loud. It hurts my head.” “You’ve been like this for a week now. What an immature guy.” “Hey, wait!” I pull his mask off. As I do, I notice his left cheek if completely swollen. “Wha, Wha, What’s with that cheek-! Nyanyanyahahaha.” “…. Annoying…” “I thought you were only buying masks, so it was cavity!” “It’s not cavity!” I can’t. I laughed too much and now he is angry. Kawase puts on a different mask and quickly walks ahead of me. “Wait a second. What do you mean it’s not cavity?” “…” “Relax Kawase. You know, I don’t much care for that bitchy face of yours. That’s why it doesn’t matter how much you ruin it~” “You liar. And yet you can cum just from looking at it.” “H-h-hey…..” Had he refused to look into my face for several days because he didn’t want to be hated by me?" ...Laughing about it so hard, I’m an asshole too… No wait. Especially in this case isn’t it better to rely on me? In that moment I tear off his mask. Then I thrust my hands into his mouth. “Let me look at it,” “Dirty! You touched the handrail at the station!” “If you don’t want to be touched, then open your mouth wide.” “…” The people around us are giggling. It doesn’t matter, we likely won’t meet again. Right now, Kawase’s serious situation has the highest priority. He kept his mouth shut in a straight line. “What does an amateur like you know?” “I can’t leave someone who is on the brink of death alone.” “Leave it. …My life won’t be long anyways.” How mean, it hurts me deeply. Are you saying the poison is spreading in your head? “Let’s go to a dentist now.” “I rather die than be touched by other people.” “I’m coming with you.” “…That makes me even more anxious.” Kawase’s and my conversations look like fights. And that’s exactly what they are. Am I hurting the other? Am I making them sad? This relationship has no such concern. I forcibly drag his arm along. “You can handle it, if they put you fully under anaesthesia.” “!?” “Sleeping pills should be fine too, but it would be a problem if you can’t wake up. So, they should go with anaesthesia.” “Listen,” “Hurry and get it fixed. This Kawase, who can be so easily hurt by my scolding, is not the real Kawase!” “…” In a blink of an eye he is ahead of me.

This man hates losing. He is malicious and sly, but he is easy to manipulate. I like this about him. Finally, I can show a smile of relief. It looks like we can quickly fix this bad mood of his.

The evening on a cool day in April. One hour, two hours, the shadows are spreading further. …I see the setting sun. As people began to move about, the door of the dentist clinic finally opens. “Kawase!” He is looking down with tears in his eyes. His face is mostly covered by his mask. “How was it?” “The reason were the wisdom teeth. …They pulled them out.” “I see…” “I didn’t know a fully matured human has an extra pair of teeth.” “You didn’t study dental at the imperial university? …” He snorts with an audible noise. …He will probably throw up. So even a clean-freak like him, can feel sick in a place like that. I need to do something after all. “There is nothing embarrassing about having teeth pain. I’ve had similar pain for a while now too.” He stares at me blankly. It makes me a little happy finally seeing him look into my eyes. “It’s a throbbing pain. I can feel it the back of my front teeth.” “!” “When you become a legitimate doctor, please treat mine too!” “…The reason for the swelling was an inflammation. They said a bacterium got inside.” “…?” “So this is where your cavity came from…!” “Ah, m-my?” He slowly pulls his mask down. And reveals his terrifying smile.

Regarde moi (Kawase/Tamamori SS) Translation

Hello fellow Kawatama simps. Today I bring you yet another short story translation. In my and editor-san 2′s opinion the most romantic SS of these two so far. This story has a second part, I eventually will end up doing too. Please enjoy~

Regarde moi*

The shadows, spurred on by the setting sun, begin to spread, an orange light emits from the damp gas lamps as they start to burn.

It was a certain day in June. Like last year, this year’s weather conditions were also requesting you to wear a cloak.

I quickly make my way through the city weaving through gaps of people. When I finally arrive at Ikeda mansion, I cautiously stop at the front of the door.

…What should I say before “I’m home”. Tamamori-kun is narrow-minded that’s why, he would never forgive me for arriving home late on such an important day. I probably can’t even enjoy his usual cute-looking angry face to my satisfaction today. That’s how much I messed up. To be honest, it is my fault.

“Kawase-san didn’t do anything wrong…. If you talk with him about the reason, he will surely understand.” The frog, who became emotionally attached to me, consolingly says, while sitting on top of my shoulders out of nowhere. Unfortunately for me, this guy can read my inner feelings, and occasionally would redirect them into Tamamori-kun’s heart. …Is he an illusion? Or a ghost? Anyways, I have no intention explaining the whole situation to this frog.

Without deciding what to tell Tamamori-kun, I open the door. …As I do so, a surprising smell welcomes me. Warmer than any other house, the smell of dinner. A gentle aroma drifts from the kitchen into the living room.

Without being able to turn back, slowly, with soft steps I walk along the corridor.

Then, as I open the living room door, the scene before my eyes astonishes me.

“!” The sofa and the coffee table are put away and instead in their place stands a table as high as my waist. It is never used and is usually sitting in an empty room. The dust was cleanly wiped off and plates are lined up. He was probably cooking until now, the room is still slightly warm.

“…Tamamori-kun, ...” Tamamori-kun, who is most likely responsible for this empty room, is sitting on a chair with his arm crossed. He seems to be mad after all, his back is facing me.

“You’re late!!!”

The volume of his voice is so strong that it could shake the room. “What day is today?!” “Your birthday.” “That’s right. That’s why, isn’t it the most important thing right now?” “…”

“Despite it being my own birthday, I prepared a luxurious feast for this sweetheart here, and you’re so heartless and late, veryyy late. Eh, i-it’s….”

“It’s 10 in the evening.”

“It’s 10 in the evening you asshole!!!”

“…You’re really angry.”

“Angry? This is a misunderstanding. I’m not angry at all!!!” Wanting to be forgiven by him, I sit down in the front chair. Did he eat the last dish earlier? One side of his cheek has a bulge. Then he turns away and swallows his last bite. “I’m sorry Tamamori-kun.” “I told you, I’m not angry!” “But you also won’t look me in the eyes?” “Well, that’s because I’m angry!!!” Now he is contradicting himself. If I continue to nudge him even further, I will only put fuel into fire. So, I take off my coat and hat for the time being. “Don’t just relax all of a sudden!” “I ran so I’m sweaty.” “Until I say it’s fine, stay as you are! Go on, reflect on your actions!” But still it’s hot, I can’t help myself. Since he doesn’t pay attention to what I just said, he grinds his teeth out of anger and crosses his arms and feet annoyed. “Tamamori-saaan, that’s not really mature. Please listen to what Kawase has to say seriously.” “Are you on Kawase’s side?” “I just don’t want you two to fight! And it’s not Kawase-san’s fault that he’s late.” “…” “He got involved into an incident…” “…Where?” “In Ginza…” “It’s his fault for going to a place like that.” “The shop assistant Kawase-san talked to, suddenly collapsed!” “…” “His face turned blue very fast, and he suddenly started to vomit foam…It was symptoms of poison…” “…”

“It was murder! Kawase-san suspected that it would be bothersome and tried to leave that place! …However he was unlucky and ran into a crime police officer who recognized him, and he forced him to show his detective abilities…” “So who was the culprit!? …No forget it!! …Being late and being late. Even though you said you would come home at 6, it’s your fault for making a stop on the way!” I somehow want to make Tamamori-kun turn his face towards me. But I can’t think of something other than a prank that would make him angry. I created silence unexpectedly by not saying anything.

….Did Tamamori-kun received recipes from the café? The room smells strongly of French dishes. I can’t eat anything made by other people. But it’s a different story with the food he makes. …This is how a dog probably feels after he did something bad and is not being fed anymore.

Even so, I have to show him some honesty. “Hey, Tamamori-kun.” “…” “Hey.” “Shut up.” “Just lend me your left hand only.” “…I-I’ve seen completely through your thinking!” “?” “Last night, you touched my left hand strangely too! There is no mistake, you were measuring something...” He was awake. That’s embarrassing. Then he turns his face to the other side and points his tight gripped hand towards me. “Here! I’m lending it to you. Be grateful.” “…” Even if I touch his hand it doesn’t look like his grip will loosen. Rather than loosen, his arm also shows not even a slight movement, it’s as firm as metal. Well, it’s just right for me if he holds it like this. I put a wristwatch around his arm. “…?” Was he expecting a different kind of sensation? Tamamori-kun looks surprised. …Even if he is mad and troubled, such an honest reaction from him is amusing and makes me almost laugh. However, I’m not allowed to yet, that’s why I keep a serious appearance and look at him.

“Isn’t this, a watch?” “I bought it in Ginza.” “It’s a terriblyyyyy expensive item!”

Even though I fastened the belt of the wristwatch, Tamamori-kun is trembling, is he not familiar with it? He also completely forgot his anger, and then turns his body towards me.

“H-h-how much…?” “You really have no charm… You don’t have to worry about such things.” “Still….Money is not infinite, you know?” “I don’t buy things without meaning.” “Uh huh…” “Honestly, what did you think I would get you?” “!?” “Something to put on your finger?” “…, what…!?” “You were even the one who suggest to celebrate your birthday. Have you been influenced by western countries lately? “~…” “…Are you unhappy with the watch? I’m worried about that.” “I-I’m happy with it. Of course…” “That’s good then.”

Finally, I can laugh from the heart too. I let a natural sign of relieve and sink into the chair. In a moment, Tamamori-kun takes off the wristwatch. “!?” “I could break it…So I’ll take it off for now…” “It’s expensive enough not to break, sturdy and a first-class item!!” “But you see, it’s a waste on me…” “You really are amazing…I have no bad intentions and you are crushing my feelings with your foot like that...” “It’s better if well-made things like that are cherished… Ah, that’s right! I’ll drive a nail into the wall and hang it up.” “Hold on…”

I forgot that Tamamori-kun is a thickheaded guy. Maybe it would have been easier if I just picked some flowers on the roadside and gifted them to him.

Thanks to the expensive watch, he is walking around the room in high-spirit. It’s almost like he can’t decide a position for the household shrine.

“What should we do Kawase-san…! If this continues, he will hang it on the wall!” “Ah-…. What to do…”

This is rather interesting too. A watch is something you should only gift to important people. This wristwatch matches with the one I’m also wearing on my left arm. It’s ticking at the same time as the one Tamamori-kun has. I wanted him to wear it all the time without taking it off, no matter where he goes, so he can always feel my presence…

Well, it’s fine. Tamamori-kun seems happy, that’s enough for me.

I’ll save my congratulations for tonight.

*(Translator note: The title is referencing to one track of Hashihime’s own soundtrack which always plays when Tamamori is meeting Kawase at the café, it’s French for “Look at me”.)
