The characters themselves are all intriguing and very lovable even if he erm, rapes her, or erm, is 14 years older and had a wife before, however weird that may seem. There are 24 endings and I cleared them all. I like that fact that the heroine Mana has two personalities every route, Light/Darkness route and gives depth to the possibilities of an amidakuji game. (though I’m sure, infantilizing women is nothing new in Japan) To make things worse, there are some sexy CGs in the game that really makes me feel a tad grossed out when the guys look like they’re coming on to a kid. I understand that the whole ‘aww he’s so big and I’m so small’ thing makes the whole thing about guys protecting girls gives the reader some form of satisfaction but not when it just makes the men look like lolicons. Second, the heroine looks like 10 yrs old in almost all the CGs except one. The fact that the writers were trying to make references to Japanese lifestyle also makes it a little annoying since if they were going for a fantasy world, just do it?! But the writers probably wanted to make their reader ‘feel at home’ and so I can overlook something like that because the main story is intriguing. My only two complaints with the game is that first, it has some random elements of modernism like playgrounds in the park and bikinis at the beach even though they’re still going around by carriages and on foot. It cools me down in this terrible summer heat. But nevertheless, this is my next favourite soundtrack CD after Ayakashi Gohan’s which I bought over a year ago. I couldn’t resist buying the game’s soundtrack which suits the atmosphere of the game really well, imaging the snow landscapes and nostalgie. Okay I will confess I bought the soundtrack because of Makino-san’s singing. The art is done by the same artist who did Koezaru Akai Hana, and the scenario by Matsutake Ume, which makes me reconsider: Makino-san aside, this game was really enjoyable!!!! I’m loving Operetta! Why don’t they come up with more games?! The above song and the BGMs were really pretty too. I wouldn’t have gotten interested in this game if not for Esta’s CV Makino-San voicing a main character, and his character Seravis made me laugh too much because of his sarcasm.
That’s probably because love interests are 18, 25, 27, 28 and 31 years old – no cherry boys for you I’m sorry. And they talk about each other’s horrible histories of ‘using’ girls once they’ve had fun and then throwing them away. For once, criminals are criminals with foul mouths like “The thing at my crotch is gonna explode” when the guys get together. Of course the clumsy trope and the getting saved by the prince on a white horse trope still exists, but maybe because of the setting that the heroine is involved in, the balance between the ‘danger’ of the guys and their attitude towards Mana is well planned. One of the love interests actually said “If my daughter was alive she would be a year younger than you so I see you as my daughter.” Now isn’t that a new blend you wanna try? I definitely enjoyed laughing at the reactions of people in the story.
And I can’t count the number of times she gets stabbed, bad end or not.įurthermore Mana got kissed by someone when she was 7yrs old, so no first kiss scenes too. This is a dark game, and the prologue has the heroine Mana almost getting taken apart so her organs can be sold and later joining a criminal organization of some kind. I’m just “wow did not expect that.” It has a very different taste from the usual ‘ufufufu ahahaha’ Otomate games where things are beautified in the name of love. Obviously there are no CGs and ero acting like an R18 but…. And not in a bad end but just halfway through the story, mind. This is one of the most revolutionary otome games (15yrs and above recomended) because uh, the heroine gets raped by one of the love interests.
