[voltage-knowledge]

In Codename: Cupid, each of the love interest are assigned a codename that matches their personality (according to Ichiya in Riku’s Main Story). However, in the Japanese version, the codenames are based off of the kanji characters of their last names (or first, in Maki’s case). 

Riku Shishizaki (獅崎理久) - Lion  Motoharu Kotani (虎谷基晴) - Tiger  Ichiya Kanokawa (鹿川壱也) - Fawn  Yojiro Maki (牧洋次郎) - Sheep 

Ryohei Okami (大上良平) is the only one without an animal in his name. However, because of the pronunciation of his last name, his codename (Wolf) is a play on words for the Japanese word for the animal (狼 - ookami).

[Review] Main Story: Riku Shishizaki

Writing this here because the 1000 character limit on the official app doesn’t do justice to this work of art. So, here you have a full-fledged review. Cheers.

Review under the cut!

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION: It’s the Main Story for the poster boy - Riku Shishizaki - of the newest Voltage Title, Codename: Cupid. It’s charged a standard 400 coins and has a total of 17 episodes; 15 (Main story) + 1 (Super Happy Ending) + 1 (Happy Ending), along with 5 CGs.

BASIC PLOT SUMMARY:

MC’s the new recruit for the infamous third unit of the General Affairs Department, commonly called the “Prune Squad”. While she adjusts to her life in the said unit, she relies on the guidance of Riku Shishizaki to teach her the ropes and assists him on his missions. Riku, who appears to be a clumsy, bumbling man under the guise of his nerdy glasses, is truly anything but once the glasses are off. He’s the suave but boastful sharpshooter of the squad who knows how to get the job done, and doesn’t indulge the idea of sharing more than what’s necessary about himself. As the MC spends more time working with him, dodging his teasing retorts and bantering her way out of jabs, she finds herself falling for his awkward attempts at kindness. But even though the gap between then starts to narrow, something from his past seems to hold him back from getting too close. So, will the MC help him accept the past and find a fresh start, or will she drown in the sea of trauma roaring at his mind?

PRAISE:

The story: His main story might be just 16 chapters long, but it’s length is well set enough to make it feel like a 20-chapter long story power packed with every trope known to mankind, along with a roller coaster of emotions. The pacing is so eloquent that nothing really feels rushed. It’s consistent enough for it to be a slow burn, and even enough for the two main protagonists to develop a much stronger, deeper bond - a bond that goes beyond their romantic relationship. Through its chapters, a number of tropes are brought into play, be it pretend couple, hostages, potential drunk one-night stands, explosions, sacrifices, sensually charged spur-of-the-moment kisses, back hugs in the kitchen, or walking in the rain, and while the idea so of navigating through so many tropes might seem overwhelming, the writing is articulate enough to make sure each one of them slips beneath the covers of the plot with an ease akin to sliding in between silk sheets. And it’s not just the just the emotionally charged plot that hits the right mark, it’s the actual content of the story too. While the option choices are a hilarious to boot, the dialogues don’t feel forced, and the underlying mirth in them is easy to grasp and laugh along to. The character relationships are structured and take their own time exploring each other through the episodes, unearthing a much deeper understanding towards each other over time. It’s magnificent, it’s beautiful, it’s a ride, and it’s worth that damned money.

The MC: The MC in the story is a feisty woman who knows how to sass someone back when they get on her nerves, but that quality doesn’t hinder her ability to discern whether it is the right place and time for some quirky retort or not. She is kind and sweet enough to want to look out for the people she cares about, but also mature enough to know when to stop poking her nose in someone’s business so as to respect their privacy. Quick on her feet, she knows how to handle high-pressure situations with the ease of a knife slicing through the smoothest of butters. While she does have the classic sacrificial personality making her want to give up her well being for the safety and security of others, it’s a pleasant surprise to have her know how to do it smartly instead of jeopardizing everything by diving headfirst without a moment’s thought. A truly understanding, caring, smart, flexible, humorous individual.

Riku Shishizaki: Riku had my attention from the prologue itself, and it’s satisfying to see his character be exactly what I’d hoped for, if not more. He’s a tease who takes every given opportunity to leave the others hanging after facing the brunt of his vague responses. He is good at what he does, and while he pretends to boast about his credentials and qualities and tries to be cold and harsh, he’s a genuinely sweet person who looks out for everyone at every opportunity he gets. He knows just what needs to be done to calm down an upset MC, and is willing to be the listening ear whenever needed. While he does pull her leg a lot, the banters they share are truly a sight to behold. Initially, he does seem to close off a lot whenever his side of the story is brought up, but his character development is quite so charming that it leaves me wanting for more. While he is all haughty and playfully rude towards MC, he is also willing to be vulnerable enough to seem like he is crying once he gets comfortable with her. Not only is he attentive, but he also knows how and when to apologise. Swoon. Also he looks damn fine in that tuxedo.

CRITIQUE:

The MC doesn’t have eyes. I know. Me too. I feel the frustration.

Riku looks somehow more younger in his CGs. His face seems a bit more round, giving him a MUCH younger look. Not really a critique-critique but it’s just weird reading 16 episodes looking at the sprite of a hot sexy 28-year-old man and then looking at a CG where he looks like he’s 24 years old or something.

But on a serious note, while I LOVED the whole story, I don’t think I was very appreciative of the mild stereotyping which was going on. For example, there were mentions of how the MC could probably find a good guy so she could leave work and settle down. Pretty orthodox, but only mildly so and only at some places here and there.

If only this game had BGM. If only.

MY RECOMMENDATION:

ABSOLUTELY. In all honesty, once I was done reading this story, I genuinely felt that 400 coins is actually quite the small amount to pay for such a great read. It’s worth every single one of those coins, and it what’s even better is there isn’t any ending set. So, for 400 coins, you get EVERYTHING. CGs, endings, episodes, everything. It’s a pretty good deal, plus its a damn good story.

MY RATING: 4.8/5
