Gekka Ryouran Romance – First thoughts

When I first started this game up, it was more just to get an idea of it, as I didn’t have much time. I was still in Japan and in the midst of shopping heaven, but I couldn’t wait to see what it was like.

The first thing I thought was, ooh pretty! It has a distinct art style, partially in the characters but even more in the menus and dialogue boxes, with little details like a rose indicating the end of each sentence which is depetaled when you click for the next statement. the dialogue boxes are also vertical, besides the characters, which I feel makes a lot of sense on the widescreen PSP. The character art as well is very pretty, with wispy hair and shading that fades from light to dark on each character.

At the beginning, Nazuna is living almost alone while her parents work long hours and her older brother is away at a boarding school. She’s very focused on grades, especially after being dumped a while ago, and is at the top of her class.

Then her parents move away and she’s sent to board at the same school as her older brother. When she gets there she’s the object of attention from a select group of students in the ‘date club’, which sounds like a host club but even more sketchy since you go on dates potentially to secluded areas where you can do pretty much anything. They trick her so that she owes them money for dates (which she didn`t want), and a huge amount at that – over $10,000 by my estimate. She doesn’t want to pay, and I really liked her for this. If she had been alone she would have resisted to the last, but her brother is vulnerable since these students are all very powerful, so she agrees to a bet for the money: she’ll go on dates with them, and if she doesn’t fall for one of them, she wins and the debt is waived. If not, her brother has to join the club and pay the debt back 300Y per date at a time (this after saying their fee is 300,000Y each time). Also, until they decide the game is over, her brother joins the club as collateral.

Interesting, no? What’s also interesting is the whole feeling of this group being totally corrupted and generally immoral, which they really play up. I remember this being marketed as a very dark story, which aligns with this feeling. One other thing I loved is that Nazuna doesn’t just give up at this point, but tries to go to the authorities! She realizes that yeah, having a brothel openly operate on campus (not sure whether it goes that far, but they definitely try to give the feeling it does) should be way against school policy, and she goes to a teacher. Unfortunately, the date club students and their parents pay a ton of money for the school to overlook everything they do, so unless they’re caught doing something really illegal, the club is allowed.

This is the intro part, before you choose who you want to go on dates with, but it’s really long in-game. The first time I played I barely got to when Nazuna transfers schools.

However, once you get past the establishment of the bet, it goes fairly quickly. I’m almost done Fuji’s route now, and will have a review of that up soon.

Peter of Candy Island – Peter

So, Peter! I knew he would eventually be an adult because of the CGs and the box art, but they way they handled it was pretty interesting. I won’t say what it is because it’s a spoiler. There’s still a big mystery around him at the end though – I think I know what it is but I’ll have to play the rest of the game to see if you ever find out.

At first Peter is just a mega-annoying kid who likes to run around and be loud, and is totally selfish even with his ‘lost boys’, the other kids who live with him. They’re more like his servants, who always do things for him and try to think up games to amuse him – often ones that are dangerous/uncomfortable. While getting into his route, Wendy decides that he’s more ignorant than bad, and she’ll reform him, and she goes about correcting him and pretty much treating him like her own kid. Peter doesn’t seem to mind, although he humours her only because he likes her, and he admits to doing so. He has no sympathy for anyone else, and assumes he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants.

As Wendy gets to know him, Tinker gets more and more jealous, and finally Peter tells her off directly. As you might guess, Tinker comes back later and confronts Wendy, and this is a major turning point in the story.

Another thing that happens in this route is Peter trying to get Wendy to eat his candy, and her gradually giving in. I thought this was done well because it’s related back to Wendy’s complex about her mom, who never cared about her after her father passed away no matter how hard Wendy tried to please her. It’s also slowly shown to relate to Peter’s feelings about his life before Neverland, although this part isn’t shown as much. This is where their relationship really grows, and it’s pretty believable.

During Peter’s route I did feel bad for Michael and John, especially John, but hey that just means I have to do their routes next. I’m looking forward to seeing how Wendy deals with her family issues there and if it ends up very differently.

And ending on an Angelique note, I FINALLY finished the knights route, and yes I think I will love it in the end, though I was kinda fast-clicking a lot of parts. It pretty much went down the way I thought it would, though more dramatic and awesome. And now I get to go for Gerhart, yay! (yes Gerhart! Tachibana Shinnosuke doing a dumb but nice guy that uses a huge sword, what’s not to love!)

Angelique Story Outline

I realized that I didn’t say much about the story of Angelique last week, just the characters. The intro is really long and honestly boring at times, so if your Japanese isn’t great, or you give in to the urge to skip, you might find this useful.

Theresa lives with her adoptive mother and brother, Runo, in a small town on the planet Norg (style looks Medieval Europe-ishi). Runo acts younger than his age, because he was traumatized several years earlier when his older brother died, and he thinks it was his fault (I think the situation was one of those things like he died while looking for Runo or something).

In the town there have been several girls kidnapped recently, but they were each returned after one night away. And of course, one evening when Theresa is out to fetch Runo, who’s been praying to his brother in the nearby church as he often does, Theresa gets kidnapped. However, she’s returned after one night, and she doesn’t remember anything. Runo was really upset taking the blame for her kidnapping on himself, so he’s ecstatic when she comes back unharmed. He goes out to gather some fruit (IIRC), but this time he doesn’t come back. Theresa and his mother search far and wide for him, but there’s no sign of him. After a few days, the mother goes back to work, confessing to Theresa that she always felt that one day Runo would leave her. Theresa can’t stand the thought of just giving up, so she continues looking, and after a week she is looking in the forest when she finds a new path that she doesn’t recognize. A man shows up and suspects her of being a spy, and when she’s too afraid to answer, he says he’ll kill her to keep her silent. Theresa is so scared she runs away deeper on the trail, and comes to a large fortress. She sees many men doing military drills in the courtyard, and is looking for a place to hide when two men notice her.

She runs away again back into the forest. Somehow (sorry this part is hazy, and it doesn’t matter much) she passes out from fear, I believe because the first man has shown up and is threatening her again. When she wakes up shortly afterwards, many men are around her, including Runo! She’s very happy, but Renour says that he’s not going back home with her, he needs to stay there. Theresa doesn’t understand until a new man comes who seems familiar, and Runo calls him brother. The leader of the men, Levias, is a ringer for Runo’s dead brother, and Runo feels that he’s supposed to help Levias (also, this kid is very emotionally fragile). When she realizes his determination, Theresa decides to stay as well, and convinces Levias by saying she’ll take care of Runo. She’s also very surprised to learn that not only is he in Levias’ army, he’s a captain! All the men are, and Runo is learning magic from Levias.

I believe this is where the intro ends. The army is actually kind of a mercenary army, travelling throughout the universe (yeah they have a spaceship) and helping local wars be ended quickly through their overwhelming strength. The first time through you can’t get a character ending, so you go through the story of taking care of Renour, having him accept the violence of war, getting to know the other knight-captains, and eventually (IMO this part took too long), Theresa realizing that she has magic capability as well. You see, even before they met everyone, Theresa could always feel where Runo was, though vaguely. And after being kidnapped, she could tell exactly where he was – it was how she eventually found him. During their time at the fortress, the enemy (who at that point was unknown) attacked with magic, and Theresa somehow felt where the magic was coming from, allowing the knight captains to capture and interrogate the enemies. Though all the captains know about her ability, apparently it doesn’t occur to anyone that maybe Theresa would be more useful as a magician than the maid and quartermaster (that’s what she ends up doing most of the time, including making tea for everyone).

When she finally does start learning magic is after an episode where the fortress is attacked, and Levias says they need to power up the spaceship using Runo’s magic (Levias and other magic-users contribute as well, but Runo’s magic is pretty strong). But Runo is in no shape to use magic, and Theresa asks if she can try. She ends up filling the whole thing almost by herself.

Between the fighting and training scenes, we find out that the attackers are the Empire which rules the universe. Right now the Emperor is the fourth son of the previous Emperor, and Levias really doesn’t like him. It’s also implied that Levias is part of this family as well, and is planning a coup.

I’ve just gotten through a major plot twist, so I won’t say more than that as it’s probably near the end. But as you can see, the story of Angelique Maren Rokukishi is pretty complicated. I’m not sure how I feel about being forced to do a plot ending before I can really get into the romance – it’s not too bad, and you still get to know the guys, but not in depth, and the story can drag sometimes when characters are talking strategy and tactics – not just Levias’ army but you also see the Empire side. I also am hoping that in the other routes there’s less Runo, as he kind of annoys me whenever he shows up.

This is Otomate, so of course the art is pretty and the seiyuu are great. I love how the guys are actually varied in body type – you can see how Gerhart is large and strong and Giovanni is shorter and more lithe. In the first route there haven’t been many CGs, which is fine with me as I’d rather have them focus on the character routes. I think I’ll really like doing those, as several appeal to me, but right now I don’t even have much hint of what their route might be about (though it doesn’t stop me from guessing!). I bet once I start one of those, it will go really fast, but I have to admit right now I’m playing through just to get to the end.

So a bit of a lukewarm review right now for Angelique, but I’m hoping that will change. And now that you know the first 2/3 of the prereq story, you can just speed right through that and get to the good stuff

Peter Pan of Candy Island

Whoa, I thought I published this yesterday (monday EST!) Well, I’m still keeping to the new schedule, so expect an update on Wednesday EST!

If you’ve seen the Disney movie, then you know how pretty much how this starts. The kids are older though, the youngest Michael (CV: Tachibana Shinnosuke) is still in school (he’s probably around 18). The older brother works in the dad’s company, and Wendy is the homemaker. Her own mom, who remarried a few years ago, is a workaholic, and we just see a bit of her treating Wendy coldly before she goes to work (after dinner).

That afternoon while grocery shopping, Wendy had a weird conversation with a boy whom she thought was lost. She didn’t think much of it, but Peter (CV: Ishida Akira) shows up at her window that evening and tells her he’s bringing her to his world. Her brothers hear a commotion and come running, and he says they’re all coming with him. Tinkerbell (human-sized) shows up and, though she dislikes Wendy on sight, sprinkles fairy dust on them and they all float up out of the house (their dog Nana comes as well).

Peter takes them to the other side of the moon through a long tunnel that’s so dark no one else can see.

The reason why they’re all taken to Never Never Land is to judge a competition. The major residents of Neverland (Peter, Hook (CV: Okiayu Ryoutarou), Scissor (CV: Miki Shinichirou), and Tink (CV: Sugiyama Kishou) periodically have competitions. Usually Scissor (being a navy official) is trying to kill Hook (being a pirate), and Hook is trying to kill Peter, but during competitions there’s a truce. At first, Wendy doesn’t want to be a judge; she’s vowed not to eat sweets ever and is very stuboorn about her principles, but she agrees because she’s afraid of Tinkerbell (who already tried to kill her once on the journey to Neverland), not to mention all the dangers of Neverland like Hook and Scissor’s pet crocodile, and the judges are also protected during the contest.

The problem is that the contest requires all the judges to agree on which candy is the best. Since Wendy and her older brother John (CV: Yusa Kouji) refuse to try the candy, the contest can’t end and they can’t leave. Michael is the only one who seems to be enjoying himself on Neverland, exploring and enjoying the candy – oh, I forgot to mention that in Neverland, candy grows everywhere, even in houses (which are grown from seeds).

And so begins the story. After this intro (yeah it’s pretty long), the story progresses by choosing where to go each day, talking to the characters. After a few days, you get locked into a certain route. And on Wednesday, since I doubt I’ll finish Angelique or Gekka Ryouran Romance till then, I’ll review Peter’s route

Angelique First Impressions and Friday Videos

I finally got Angelique Six Knights, and have been playing a fair bit, but really haven’t gotten too far – apparently the first time around you have to do the non-romance route, and I haven’t even finished that yet. I’m still getting acquainted with all the knight captains, and the battle and bad guy(s?) haven’t shown up yet. Here are my impressions of the knight captains.

Kain (CV: Morikawa Toshiyuki) – the oldest knight captain, he’s the defacto leader when Leviath isn’t around. He’s mature and intelligent, and his company is the Dark Crown Knights.

Kiefer (CV: Hirata Hiroaki)- a snobby jerk, although he does have a point when he complains about the unfitting behaviour of Giovanni and Gerhart. His company is the Sharp Ice Knights, and he actually keeps them in line by whipping whoever comes in last during sparring.

Gerhart (CV: Hiyama Nobuyuki) – a big sweetheart, his company the Sea Dragon Knights are apparently former pirates, and one of them is his sister Maria, who becomes friends with Theresa as the only other young woman at the fortress. He’s often drinking and gambling with Giovanni, though he always loses.

Giovanni (CV: Morikubo Shoutarou) – a casual flirt, he always wins when Gerhart gambles with him. He likes it when the heroine puts herself in the middle of things like trying to stop a fight. His company are the Shining Light Knights (or something like that).

Eugene (CV: Ono Daisuke) – the knight captain who likes the heroine the least at first – Kiefer treats her with contempt but Eugene almost kills her and definitely wants her out of the fortress, his company is the Moonlight Knights who focus more on magic than fighting. After a while it seems that it’s more that he doesn’t like new people, and he warms up to Theresa faster than Kiefer.

Shona (CV: Kaji Yuuki) – not the most socially adept person but he’s quite perceptive. His company is the Fallen Angel Knights.

Leviath (CV: Narita Ken) – the leader of everyone, he seems cold but has shown some moments of warmth. He looks just like Renoux’s dead/missing brother.

And since this was pretty short, I thought I’d throw in some videos.

First up, Omochabako no Kuni no Alice, coming out this month:

Beyond the Future – I pre-ordered this one, probably won’t be playing it until after Christmas:

The newest game from Rejet, collaborating with the creators of Are You Alice:
Tiny x Machine Gun

A bunch of UtaPuri playing videos, this one is only one song on hard, but it brings up a bunch of other ones as well:

Black Wolves Saga, also from Rejet in 2012, which they’ve been tweeting about incessantly:

It’s about werewolves, and it seems pretty dark.

And Strobe Mania, which I TOTALLY forgot about, I think it’s out already:

Finally, for anyone who’s a Gintama fan (I know it’s 50% toilet humour, 30% meta, and only 20% amazing story arcs, but I just can’t quit it), here is something we would all love to see – don’t even pretend you wouldn’t buy this! (though the video is eight minutes long, the relevant part is only the first two)

Next week I’ll hopefully have a Gekkan post up, and perhaps a Peter Pan one as well!

Kannou Mukashibanashi

Kannou Mukashibanashi is an upcoming Otomate title for the PSP, based on a series of voice CDs of the same name. I got a couple when I was in Japan to see what they were like.

The one I’ve listened to so far is the Grimm Fairytales collection、volume 4. The CDs feature popular seiyuu reading familiar tales, but with a slightly more…sensual…vibe than you’re used to. There’s no _real_ adult content that I’ve heard, but the atmosphere is darker and more mature than, say, Disney.　

In the upcoming game, the characters were picked out from several of the CDs:
Navigator (CV: Inoue Kazuhiko) – kind of like a guide on your journey through the stories, in the CDs he does the prologues and epilogues to bookend each volume and tie things together.

Hensel (CV: Toriumi Kousuke) From Hensel and Gretel. This is one of the stories that’s in the Grimm volume, and he reads that one.

Zeus (CV: Kondou Takashi) From Leda and the Swan in the Greek Myth volume. Mmhmm, bird lovin’! (Gahhhhhh)

Hosokawa Tadaoki (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke) from the Warring Periods Koi Emaki volume. Gotta get a samurai in there somehow!

Bluebeard (CV: Morikubo Shoutarou) from uh, Bluebeard　- I think this is original to the game（伊。絵。Ｉドンｔ背絵意ｔ音. Isn’t this the guy who…well, no spoilers just in case. But yeah…interesting choice.

Issun Boushi (CV: Suzuki Tatsuhisa) The male version of Thumbelina, from the first drama CD (no theme). Cute! I know whose route I’ll be playing first.

Prince (CV: Sakurai Takahiro) from The Little Mermaid on the Hans Christian Andersen volume. He doesn’t need a name, we all know him!

Aoyama Harima (CV: Shimono Hiro) from Banmachiketsu Yashiki. I don’t know this story but it’s in the ghost story CD…I hope it’s not scary. Seriously, I’m a big chicken.

In the game, you’re a young woman who’s invited by the Navigator into experiencing the well-known tales, but your choices can take the story into unknown territory (which, frankly, is good, because a lot of these stories are NOT love stories). All in all, it will be interesting to see how it turns out, there have been several games lately inspired by old stories and fables. Hopefully this one will be better than Mother Goose. Kannou Mukashibanashi is scheduled for January 19.

Midnight Bells and Cinderella ~Halloween Wedding~

１２時の鐘とシンデレラ (Midnight Bells and Cinderella～Halloween Wedding～) is the newest game announced for the PSP from Quinrose, scheduled for release on Feb 23 2012.

Odette Scarlet is the heroine. She lost her mother when she was very young, and lived with her father for a long time before he remarried. She is fond of her stepmother and two stepsisters but isn’t good at showing her feelings. It also takes her a while to open up to people.

Characters:
Roy Diefenthal (CV: Okamoto Nobuhiko) An aristocrat that often visits the downtown city in disguise. When Odette finds him, she can tell he has no street smarts, and she becomes his guide. Apparently he’s pretty high up in the nobility and is used to luxury, but it hasn’t warped his personality too much.

Gilbert Crois (CV: Koyasu Takehito) A guard in a certain household. When his master goes to the city on his own, he follows in search of him. He also sometimes complains about this master that increases his work so much. He’s a very good swordsman, and is a bit quick to fight.

Glass Walker (CV: Sakurai Takahiro) A shoemaker with a store downtown, he’s highstrung but a skilled craftsman. He tends to lose himself in his work and forget about other things. He used to be popular among the nobility for his quality shoes, but fell out of favour and now sells to the common people. He tries to fit in with the commoners by using rough language, but his higher-class roots show.

Chance (CV: Yoshino Hiroyuki) A salamander type monster that works in a carriage rental shop. He’s not too swift but is very athletic. Even though he’s often reviled because he’s a monster, he wants to be friends with humans and is friendly. However, he’s scary when he gets angry.

Sirius Bradlay (CV: Takahashi Hiroki) A magician that is old friends with Odette’s mother. He had been abroad for a long time, but came back after hearing about Odette’s father. He’s good at looking after people, but once he gets despressed, it’s annoyingly hard to get him to snap out of it. He’s overprotective of Odette.

Reynald (CV: Kusao Takeshi): A mysterious man who walks the city at night. He tells Odette that she is loved by misfortune, trying to label her unlucky, but becomes interested in her when she doesn’t give in and tries to break through barriers on her own. Odette tells him of some of her worries partly because he’s a stranger, and they form a strange kind of bond.

Feather (CV: Shimono Hiro) An elegant lady with an unfamiliar atmosphere about her, she’s actually a white dove monster. She’s Odette’s next-door neighbour in their new, cheaper lodgings. She lives with other doves and is good at gathering information.

Tokimemo GS 3 PSP

Tokimemo 3 is coming to the PSP next spring! It’s called Girl’s Side Premium 3rd Story, and it has some additional features on top of what’s in the DS version.

First, there’s the “kimagure play”. Your dialogue choices and how you approach guys are separated into tenshi (angel) and koakuma (little devil). Your rating on this scale changes their feelings for you, and will even change their dialogue, and which events will happen. So yay, not only do we get to play many times, now we play each character twice! Heh, if I ever had to bring just one otome game with me for a long trip, it would probably be Tokimemo. It can be played for ssooooo long.

The skinship mode in the DS has been adapted into the approach mode. It works by using the analog stick to move over and choose whether to ‘look’ or ‘touch’ different parts of…the guys (ok, that sounds really pervy, but if you’ve played Tokimemo on the DS you know what I mean).

They’ve also added animation to the existing character portraits, calling it Live 2D.

And a third new feature of this version is that you can visit the guys’ rooms, totally separate from playing the game. The creators have made rooms for each in 3D, and when you don’t have much time to play or just want to check things out, you can go in them and see what’s up. The guys do things in the room in realtime (according to the PSP’s internal clock), and not only that, the room changes with the seasons.

Cute huh?

I already have Tokimemo 3 on the DS, but…this really makes me want the PSP version too!

Blog updates

I have so many games to play, and there’s still lots of news coming out all the time, so I’m trying out a more frequent posting schedule. Mon-Wed-Fri every week, but some (like this post) might be short posts.

Also, the Love.101 website will be updated in December with content, and will continue to update at least monthly with teaser content, I hope you like it! All feedback and comments are welcome, I’d really like to hear what you think of what’s coming out for Love.101.

So right now, I’m in the middle of playing several games. Because I got so many at once, I would play a bit of one, then get excited about another and start that. So far I’ve started:

• Okashina Shima no Peter Pan – I actually finished one route, so played a fair bit
• Bunmei Kaika Aoiza – finished one route and liked it quite a bit
• Iza Shutsujin Koi Ikusa – I’m barely past the intro
• Amnesia – just a couple hours on this, I need to get into it more
• Gekka Ryouran Romance – I’m still on the intro
• Mother Goose no Himitsu no Yakata – played a while but honestly, it’s annoying if you don’t have access to cheats
• VitXtoZ – this was my “going to bed” game for a while, where I play a game that’s not so exciting and new that it will keep me awake
• Hotokenser – finished this one (really enjoyed it yay!)
• Tsundere S Otome – it’s better than I expected actually
• Dear My Sun – working on this, it’s a sim so it takes a while to finish
• Lucian Bee’s FD Justice Yellow and Evil Violet – finished Guido during the trip (it was one of my first buys I think) and Didier a while ago, haven’t tried Evil Violet yet
• Tokyo Yamanote Boys Honey Milk – not even halfway through one route but I’m plugging away right now on it
• Hanayaka Nari Waga Ichizoku – it’s in my PSP right now, the characters are really good and I love the whole setting, atmosphere, and art – but I think I’m barely halfway through my first route

That’s all for now…just looking at that list makes me tired! And I’m waiting for Angelique Maren no Rokukishi, and I haven’t even started Wand of Fortune 2, or Sangokuren Senki, or Bloody Call, or Death Connection…Phew.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had a preference as to how I review these – I know lots of site do posts on one route, or parts of a game. Is that a good way, or would you rather I wait until I’ve finished most of a game before reviewing the whole thing in one long post? I’m not sure which way is better.

And if you want me to review a particular one first, let me know! I want to play them all, so anything that helps me pick from the list would be great.

Hotokenser Review

The first game I installed and played on my PC once I got home from Japan was Gakuen Tokkyuu Hotokenser. This little gem from TWOFIVE is only $20 for the regular version(although I got the limited edition which Kureha is holding in that pic above), and it has full voice, great visuals, and a very fun story. Plus, if you’re a fan of slightly cheesy J-rock made for hero shows, some great music.

The heroine, Ootori Kureha, is transferred to a new high school on the recommendation of her ‘uncle’, a good family friend who’s the president of Hotoke Gakuen. On the way to school her first day, she encounters the members of the student council, who are all very popular – Kondou Ryuuichi (CV: Akabane Kenji), the student president, Sumeragi Rikuto (CV: Takagi Shun), the secretary, and Doujima Mitsuki (CV: Kimura Ryouhei), the vice-president. They all kind of get on her nerves, however, being respectively rude, overbearing, and just plain confusing.

She’s not too happy when her uncle calls her to his office and announces that she is part of the school’s own masked monster fighting force, Hotokenser (she keeps calling it Hotoken-man, which the other characters are amusingly offended by), which is made up of the student council. Unfortunately she doesn’t get any real information other than this, and when she goes to the student council room after school, no one even shows up. Part of the beginning story is just her trying to figure out how to transform, since her uncle tends to forget explanations.

After the intro, you choose which character route you want to try. This makes each route really different, and I’d recommend saving Roku (the green Hotokenser) for last, because I feel like his has the most ‘real’ ending. For characters, I’m a sucker for a good-natured jock type (i.e. Rikuto), but they’re all good, and each has three endings, none of which are really bad.

I saw a review of this in Japanese that said fans of shoujo manga would like this. At first I thought it was a bit of a strange thing to say, because to me otome games and shoujo manga are already very similar. But after playing, I totally get it. The plots are very much like a Betsuma or Hana to Yume comic, with all the guys indifferent to the heroine in the beginning, and with various plot twists and sudden changes of heart.

It is kind of short, and the romance is not that pronounced, but it’s a lot of fun, and refreshing if you’re tired of heavy or angsty games. Even the monsters (which are very like the monsters of the week in Power Ranger-type shows) all have distinct personalities in addition to being voiced by well-known seiyuu, and there’s a lot of humour throughout the game. The only part I thought was overdone on that was poor Gomukeshi-kun (the eraser); I thought Kureha was pretty hard on him sometimes.

And one other problem – it needs a fandisk! Once you play, you’ll know exactly who should be a ‘hidden’ character, except there’s no route for him! So please Twofive creators, if you’re reading this (I can dream right?), make a fandisk! I want more. Even after listening to both drama CDs I got with it…I still want more.
