Yazawa Ai is famed for her Nana series, a favourable mangaka who consistently creates stories set in reality with a very appealing maturity and realism to them.

Café Enchanté released on the 5th of this month, exclusive to the Switch as of now. It easily beats Aksys’ previous otome release of Piofiore: Fated Memories as the better title, with its rich world-building and lore, increasingly engaging story and lovable cast from the love interests (LI’s) to the side characters. Let’s get into […]Read More
As a lover for anything related to the Wizard of Oz and seeing it as the prime inspiration for the otome game Ozmafia!, I wanted to discuss four other Japanese games that references 1900’s iconic children’s novel by L.

After discussing my favourite manga Claymore, it being more on the action side, I’m also just as partial to a good romance.

Let me know what your favourites are below! Spooky Visual Novel […]Read More
Arcade Spirits released in February of last year and only now have I managed to play through the game I had been so excited to see release. From the offset Arcade Spirits looked like it would provide plenty of hilarious dialogue and moments, a lot of heartfelt and serious topics explored, and one of the […]Read More
After covering my Auteur Analysis on Kotaro Uchikoshi I was reminded of a much smaller trilogy of games that borrows from the well regarded structure of the Zero Escape series. Developed by Intense and localised by CIRCLE ENTERTAINMENT, Parascientific Escape is a trilogy of games that seemingly appear as mere escape room shenanigans with plenty […]Read More
I’m sure you’ve heard of Tokyo Colorful Days and Go! Go! Nippon! -My First Trip to Japan-, two well-known visual novels where we follow two lovely ladies into districts of Japan, learning locations and Japanese phrases while falling in love. And what did that teach us? A lot I’m sure, but not enough! So let’s […]Read More
