Otome & BL news 25/10

 Games
 Koisentai LOVE & PEACE was recently updated and aside from the superhero theme, the main characters are all power rangers. Will it beat Hotokenser or end up being a cheap copy?

Hanaoni ~Yume no Tsuzuki~ Fandisc and a new game called Issyo ni gohan announced by Otomate. The last mentioned is adapted from a Drama CD about a bunch of guys running a apartment dinner show (I think?). The guys all look pretty nice and it's nice to have a change from the regular school-themed visual novels. Plus, I love cooking!

Getting ported to PSP is Moujuutsukai to Ouji-sama ~Snow Bride~. I loved the first game and read the beginning of Snow Bride, so I'm really looking forward to see what they add in the port.

Karin Entertainment opened a new "mystery site", currently under construction. News have leaked and apparently it's a Sherlock Holmes otome game for PSP! Right now it's under the name Eikoku tantei mysteria (The British detective mystery) but I'm not sure if it's the official name or not. The heroine, Emily, is ridiculous cute and the black haired man is confirmed to be Holmes Jr.  Watson looks really handsome too and I love the suspenders and the bag over the shoulder. I'm getting way too excited about this orz . Check out the site here.

Following the detective theme is a spin-off game of the popular VitaminX series. VitaminX Detective B6 will be out for PSP sometime during 2012.

Quinrose is as usual making new games at a frightening pace, and this week they announced yet another fairytale-themed game. Cinderella when the clock hits 12 ~Halloween Wedding~ (Unsure how to translate the title. Cinderella at midnight (12 o'clock) might be more correct) is the classic story with a halloween twist to it. To be released in 2012.

OZMAFIA announced another new character in this month B's LOG who became an instant favorite of mine. He is a purple haired cat-eared knight-like character with ponytail and a tsundere/easily embarrassed to boot! I think his name is Aen (Aien? Ein?). Either way, I'm sure they add him to the website soon.

A big double spread with characters made by the artist from Kuro to Kin no Hirakanai Kagi (Shiraha Makamome) was also included in the magazine. It doesn't say anything except "Hana Awase". Little Cheese haven't any information so I guess we just have to wait and see. The picture features 2 siblings, both beautiful drawn, even if the girl reminds me of Kuro to Kin's heroine except with short hair. Very gothic and dark theme once again.

I haven't been so interested in the soon to be released Miss Princess for DS, but after reading the article and watching the trailer, I'm kind of curious. The game got some cute mini-games like playing piano and horseback riding. The story is about a tomboy trying to win a model competition called "Miss Princess". If you feel like playing something super-sugary and so cliché it makes you laugh (in a positive way) I'd say this is your game.

Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3rd Story is getting ported to PSP with the word "Premium" added in the title.

Merchandise
Finally arriving in stores is these sexy Togainu no Chi figures. Akira sure looks sexy with his rough look and low pants while Shiki always pulls off an elegant and dangerous vibe. Hurry up and pre-order before they are gone!

Want to show off how much you love UtaPri? These super cute chibi rubber straps are now up for pre-order. I actually put an order myself, hoping to get either Otoya or Masa orz

Harada Sanosuke from Hakuouki is getting a 1/10 figure. You can see sneak peak pictures here. Love all the details!

Wand of Fortune 2 is getting a Drama CD with new scenarios next month. As expected, the cover art is absolutely stunning.

Tomorrow is the release date of the first pre-song CD feauturing new characters from UtaPri Debut! I'm really looking forward to both Utapri Music and Debut so I'm hoping they won't let me down~

I also want to apologize for not writing any proper reviews lately. I've been listening to a lot of Drama CDs and reading manga instead (Remember to stay away from Yandere Heaven if you want to be able to sleep =_=). On the game front I've been re-playing UtaPri and getting all the normal endings with the guys.

Otome & BL news 8/10 *Updated*

Games
A company named Straight is currently working on a 18+ PC game named Kimi ga Tame, Koishi Midareshi Tsuki no Hana (Picture on the left). The heroine looks really cute and I'm looking forward to hearing more about it.

Rejet announced a new game called Black Wolves Saga, using the same artist the did for Gekka Ryouran Romance. No rating or station have been announced, but it looks pretty dark to me, so maybe 15/18+?
The game is about Fiona, a princess locked up in a tower, until she one day meets a wolf on the run. She escapes together with him and their adventure begins. Thanks to Rin for the translation~

A game that has been on everyones lips lately is Beyond time - fix the time arrows. The site is being updated very often, adding more informations and goodies as the days go by. The game is planned for PS3 and PSP 12/1 2012. My only question is if there will be any actual gameplay?

Starry Sky - After Winter have been changed from it's set release date to TBA for unknown reasons.

Horror and thriller BL game Shingakkou – Noli me tangere is getting a fandisk called Shingakkou - Noli me tangere ~ The gift.

Another game which is also getting a fandisk is Rewrite, Rewrite - Harvest festa!

Omerta is getting a re-release with new skip functions and fix some bugs. I'm not sure if they will add any new story or CG, but the new cover art alone makes me want to buy the game again.

Sanctuary recently released a PV for the Miyako fandisk, you can watch it here

Utapri creators Broccoli is releasing a new game called Koisentai LOVE & PEACE. Super hero theme sounds fun, but I'm not liking the designs of the guys.

Otomate is porting more mobile games to PSP, this time it's Kimi Kare.Which boyfriend do you want?

Last but not least, DMMD got a big update, including wallpapers, character data and CG. I really love Aoba in this picture.

Merchandise
Omerta is releasing 3 new drama CDs; first one is with TachibanaxJJ, second one is LukaxJJ and the last one is JJxKiryuu.

The Amnesia poll was (to my surprise) won by Toma. I guess japanese girls really love yandere guys? Here is his special illustration for winning the poll.

*UPDATE*
So I got Cool-B magazine this month, and thought I might as well write about some of the content.
Big feature on Mebiusline, both the announcment of seiyuus (you can check the website) and a very distracting picture of Iori licking the wounds of the main character. I'm not really into blood-fetish so I didn't really get it, but I'm sure it's very popular with some people ^^;

Nitro+Chirals DMMD also announced their cast (once again, check their website if you're interested). Some new CGs were promised but it turns out to be...a gang rape picture. Three random guys holding Aoba down and pulling off his clothes, and I really hope this is some bad route ending or else I'm gonna be pissed.

Beside from that, a new CG from upcoming otome game PersonA was included. This as well turned out to be a rape picture where the prince-like type of character is pinning the girl down the bed. Honestly, why can't we have a 18+ otome game without rape? It's ridiculous.
