Otome & BL news 21/8

The new Arcana famiglia spin-off mini game website opened.

Confidential Money got new CGs and so did Diabolik Lovers.

Voice samples and more information about the Quinrose game 24 ji no Kane to Cinderella Halloween Wedding.  I have to admit that I had zero interest in the game before but after playing Oumagatoki and seeing the cast I really want to buy this  (*´・ｖ・)

FD for VitaminZ teaser site has been published.

Seems like Otomate took inspiration from the Fate/ series because their newest game is Princess Arthur. Trailer looks good even though I can't ignore how similar Lancelot looks to the Fate/ interpretation.

Another newly announced title from Otomate is NORN9. The wikipedia article and trailer hints that there will be three heroines. I'm a sucker for Nordic mythology so this is right up my alley.

OZMAFIA finally updated and added voice samples to some of the characters.

CG update for Love is not bound by any rules! This game looks so good, I can't wait to get it! (*°∀°)=3

Yaoi game Taisho Mebiusline got a release date: December 21st. Let's hope they don't postpone it anymore.

Fandisk Omerta: Code TYCOON teaser website opened.

Upcoming 18+ otome game Koezaru ha Akai Hana released a trial version. The game will be released next month.

Glass Heart Princess will be in stores 11/29.

The new Amnesia game got it own website. Shin as the protagonist this time?

I'm guessing the Arabians Lost remake sold pretty good because now a sequel/FD is coming. The new installment is called Arabians Doubt and will be available next year.

Witch's Garden is one of the first games uses a new technique called E-mote which makes the characters look animated and much more alive. (Sample can be seen here)
Will all visual novels looks like this is the future? I certainly wouldn't mind. Hopefully some company will try this out on otome games too. Otomate maybe?

Otome & BL news 6/8

Honeybee's new project Heart Supplement teaser website is now open.

Quinrose Oumagatoki is getting a sequel. The popular PSP game not only got a spin-off but now also a new game.

The Hakuouki anime is getting dubbed in English, which the people seem very happy about. Not gonna comment anymore on that.

First CG is up on Black Wolves Saga -Last Hope-.

Popular Nitro+Chiral BL Togainu No Chi game now have a 100% complete and working English patch ready to use. The hard working ladies over at Aarinfantasy forum called "Yaoiforever" released it and any questions about the patch, help, download and etc goes here.

More information about upcoming games and drama CDs DoubleScore.

I actually didn't know before but the heroine for upcoming Otomate game Genroh is only 12 years old! As expected it's rated Cero B and I expect they won't even have any romantic implication or otherwise we will all be going to jail ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ

The butterfly game series from popular drama CDs creators  Black Butterfly will not only include one guy per game, but also a teasing guy who tries to charm you. Sounds like a perfect set up for a love triangle.

Aoba from DRAMAtical Murder is getting a figurine. The company Max Factory will make it and a prototype was displayed during Wonderfestival.

A fandisk have also been announced for the game. The title is Dmmd re:Connect  and will take place after the first game. It will be a mix of mini games and normal VN. More information will be reveled in this month's Cool-B.

Idol boys Otoya and Tokiya from Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ are also getting made into figures. Wonderfestival had a strict no-photo rule, but somebody manged to snap a picture of them.
Not that bad.

Spray is celebrating the 10 years anniversary of the BL game Gakuen Heaven. Special wallpapers are available.

Otome & BL news 20/5

Tenrin no Guneval is a upcoming BL game by Madalabo. The protagonist this time is an ossan-character. Anyone else but me see a resemblance to Kotetsu from Tiger and Bunny?

I'm not sure if upcoming Lucky Dog 1 + Bad Egg is a remake with new endings and content or if it is the long awaited sequel people have been hoping for? After being let down with cheap mini-games instead of actual stories, I've somehow lost faith in the Lucky Dog 1 franchise.

Brothers conflict released a bunch of wallpapers to celebrate the release of the game. Get it for both your PC and PSP.

Oumagatoki is getting a spin-off game called Hyakki Yakou.
The heroine is a dragon princess who tries to live up the the expectations of her family and people around her, but she really just want to live her life in her own way. The art is actually pretty nice and I prefer this style compared to the usual QuinRose.

They also put up a website for a new game called School Wars. More information will be in the next B's log. The heroine looks very cute and also pretty badass with that gun in her hand. I definitely wouldn't mind playing this.

Trick or Alice put up their CV and sample voices. There are 2 different samples for each character, one for normal and one for Wonderland. Alice voice certainly is very, very high-pitched.

New Otomate game called Glass Heart Princess. First thing that struck me was how the guy looks exactly like a clone of Shin from Amnesia. The story is about a girl who is a complete and perfect Mary Sue student in every way. Her one and only flaw is that she knows nothing about boys. Will be for PSP and release is set in November this year.

Popular "I'm so in love with you that I want to kill you"-theme CDs Yandere Heaven is getting a game. The website Yandere Heaven - Affection ~Bunny Cage~ sure looks intense.

Honeybee's new game 青春はじめました！ (Our youth has just started! or something) opened it's website. There is a questioner where you can answer what the word youth means to you and they will create characters and other in game scenarios around it. One lucky winner will get their name in the credits.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately OTL
Classes are really hectic this close to summer and I've also been on vacation in London, so no time for games. Please hold out a little bit more for the DMMD review, it'll soon be done!

Otome & BL news 1/3

I'm sure none of you have missed it, but yet another otome game is going to be turned into anime this year! The newly announced is Hanayaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku. I'm not sure which studio will be doing the adaption, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and planning to play the game before the show airs.

Popular STORM LOVER is getting a remake for PSP called STORM LOVER-Kai-.

Custom Drive does not only feature the opportunity to change hairstyle/clothes of your bishie of choice, you can also change personality. This was personally a big turn-off for me since it means the character ends up being a pretty empty shell that acts the way you want them to, instead of well...actually being a characters.（ಠ_ಠ） 

QuinRose releasing yet another game, this one is called Grimm-Bounty Hunter-. 

Kiriya Takashi, famous for her artwork in Death Connection and Musketeer is working with Otomate on a new game called Confidential Money. Looks very interesting!

 Don't forget to go and grab the new wallpapers at Amnesia Later. Just thinking about Orion's route makes me go ｡ﾟ+.o((*´∀`*))o｡ﾟ+

A company called Tyrant will release a new BL game called Tokyo Onmyouji. Planned release isn't until next year, but the site has already opened and judging from the teaser picture I think it might be nice!

A sudden update with new wallpapers and yet another voice sample was updated earlier this week at DRAMAtical Murderer.

A trial for the long-awaited Lucky Dog 1 sequel is here. Download and try the game today. Release date is April 8th.

March and April has got to be one of the most busy and most expensive months for us otome-ge players. There are so many titles getting released the upcoming weeks. I'm torn between what to buy/play and not. If you still got some money to spare, treat yourself with a limited edition or first press edition with bonus item from AmiAmi or CDJapan. Bookmarks, posters, special Drama CDs or more are always included in those.

Last but not least...

I'm honestly more of a Masato fan myself, but god damn, Ren ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)ｱﾊﾊ八八ﾉヽﾉヽﾉヽﾉ ＼ / ＼

B's LOG 7 - Otome & BL news + scans

So I don't usually order magazines from Japan, but when my B's LOG arrived with Akazukin to Mayoi no Mori yesterday, I decided to scan some pages and share some recent gaming news.
