Otome & BL news 11/10

Brother's Conflict (or Bro-Con for short) is getting an anime! Not much information have been released yet so we will have to wait. Crossing my fingers for a good studio to animate it.

Karin Entertainment Sherlock Holmes otome game will be released on March 7th, 2013. The website finally opened after such a long wait and I'm really excited to play the game.

TAKUYO open the website for their new PSP game 月影の鎖 -錯乱パラノイア.  The slogan is "Would you still love me..?"
My first impression is very good. I love the colors and the character designs!

New Rejet title called Ken ga Kimi.
As usual Rejet shine by choosing the most inspiring and wonderful BGM and soundtrack to the game.

Anime designs of the bishonens in Amensia are out.
I think they manged to capture each guy's style pretty good.

Why not grab a new PSP theme and wallpaper? Diabolik Lovers are celebrating the release of the game with some handsome vampires for your PSP. And while your on the website, don't forget to vote for your favorite boy in the poll.

Otomate's new game Shiratsuyu no Kai will be somewhat of a horror game.
The setting is an old japanese Shrine and there will be supernatural elements. The music on the website is enough to make me shiver.

Hinano did a research on how much you really have to pay in the end to play those "different routes per game" VNs. It's ridiculous how Japan is trying to rip-off the poor customers. I don't hate the idea of paying money per route but if so it better be at a reasonable price!

Otome & Bl news 17/7

Yet another Alice game to add to the series, this time it's Diamond version. New characters are White Queen, Black Rabbit among others.

A second fandisk for Arcana Famiglia game is in the making. This time it's a mini-game collection with all the characters, taking place at a festival in Regalo. More information to come!

Isshoni Gohan have been delayed until 2013. I'm pretty frustrated by this actually, as the game seems to be promising.

Rejet is releasing an artbook with the popular boys from Tokyo Yamanote Boys. It goes by the title FAIRYTALE ILLUSTRATIONS and will be for sale by the end of august with the price tag 3,150yen.

Update for Diabolik Lovers. The manga seems pretty well-received and the heroine not all that bad.

More information about the system in Glass Heart Princess. I used to be sceptical about this but now I'm actually looking forward to it. The alien (?) guy is my favorite so far.

Nitro+Chiral is releasing a DRAMAtical Murder anthology manga. You can order it here.

Rejet opened a website especially for the BWS soundtrack. The first CD will be out august 29

CG update over at OZMAFIA. God damn, Caesar is a badass AND tsundere? Will my poor heart survive this?

Hyakki Yakou got a CG update recently.

Twitter icons and wallpapers up for download over at upcoming BL game Si-Nis-Kanto

Karin is releasing a dakimakura featuring the protagonist of the yaoi game Omerta, JJ. I wonder if it's exclusively for Comiket or if they will sell it online too?

From the looks of it eroge company Liar-Soft seem interested in publishing their games in English.
A new website opened containing information about their popular steam-punk "What a wonderful...". series. The site is in both Japanese and English and the creators talk to the English fanbase how the games have setting in Europe and how they would like them to play their games in English one day.

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 15/4

Arcana Famiglia Extra Episode website opened recently and got updated with a PV. Luca my love! （人´∀`*）♡

New otomate game 源狼 ～GENROH～

Brocoli announced a project with popular Kazuki Yone.  Kamigami no Asobi is about a world where some of the Gods have lost faith in humanity. They pick out a human girl to teach them the meaning of love and the emotions of humans.

When Gekka first was relesed many people was shaken by the new "Dark-twisted-love" genre. That being said, I don't think anyone could have guessed exactly how far Black Wolves Saga would go in that area until now. A new scenario featured in otome magazines tells how the two sadistic cat brothers burn the heroine with a branding iron (and that's only the start of the "punishment").
I think I will settle with reading reviews from others and listening to the OST.

Issoh ni gohan finally opened their game website. I'm not sure but I think we might be in for both a PC and PSP release?

Brother Conflict got delayed. Yet again. New date is may 17th. I'm really looking forward to this but it's hard to keep up the hype when they keep pushing it forward OTL

Karin's game 断罪のマリア THE EXORCISM OF MARIA which recently got a directors-cut PSP port, is also getting a PC port.

L.G.S updated their gallery with 2 new CGs and a some chibi events.

Hiiro no Kakera 5 announced!

Quinrose Cinderella when the clock hits 12 ~Halloween Wedding~ is getting a sister game with similar theme, but this time it's 24 hours! The Website opened not too long ago.

Hana Awase announced it's cast. I'm still a bit confused if it's going to be both a game and drama CDs, or just one of them. Yura's art is breathtaking as usual.

Ozmafia updated their site with brand new CGs.

Black Wolves Saga -Bloody Nightmare- Opening can now be seen on Youtube.

Arcana Famiglia is getting a fandisk! After refreshing the website a thousand times I was finally able to screenshot one of the two characters that you see for a brief second! Could this be grown-up Liberta?

Original Arcana Famiglia added the second secret password. If you got the game, don't forget to register to unlock the secret bonus scenario!

A bit late on this, but BROTHERS CONFLICT got delayed until spring 2012.

Application is here

A new company called Parade are releasing their first BL game called NO, THANK YOU!! (K-ON inspired?). The appeal of the game is that you are always seme (yes, even with those 2 oyaji characters back there) and in the website corner you can press a button to turn the chest/arm hair on and off ;｀(;ﾟ;ж;ﾟ; )ﾌﾞｯ

The story is about a 22 year old man who saves a guy from being run over by a car. You get hit instead and when you wake up all your memories are gone. The man you helped takes you in and let you work at his bar, but shady things are going on behind the nice facade.

You can now pre-order DMMD and see what kind of bonus you get at different stores.

Otome & BL news 19/8

So I thought it might be fun to write some sort of news update every now and then, since I don't have much spare time and making review takes a while.Anyway,  here is some recent and upcoming otome & BL news.

Games
OtomeMate's AMNESIA was finally released yesterday and is expected to be a big hit. I'm really looking forward to reading reviews of it!

After the PC port of Miyako sold well a fandisk is now coming to PSP. I'm currently playing it and I'm extremely jelly.

A new and recently announced game is OZMAFIA. It's created by a company called Poni-Pachet (which I don't think I've heard about before?) however the art looks promising and they just added the main characters to the website.

Upcoming yaoi game Mebiusline finally added some new CGs. I'm crossing my fingers for this one.

Long awaited DRAMAtical Murder got a date set, 2012.2.24. So far away, but I guess it's worth the wait.

Following the popular theme of yaoi mafia, And's new game Sis-Ni-Kanto also got updated. The artwork by Yamada Sakurako really looks gorgeous.

Merchandise
Yet another Lelouch figure is up for pre-order. This time he wears the popular emperor costume, complete with his usual dramatic pose. Where is my Suzaku?

Popular UtaPri gets more merchandise, this time it's a compact mirror with the bishies on. Which ones are your favorite?

If you are a fan or JRPG like me, you've probably played one or two of the famous Tales of - games. These cute chibi's is something for you then! All of the popular male characters for the Tales game comes with a haning clip attached so you can wear it wherever you go. I'll try my best to get my favorites~

Closing up this little new segment is the handsome looking Ichigo from Bleach. I'm not a fan myself, but this figure is definitely worth having in your bishie collection. Long hair, nice effects and see-through bandage. Yummy~

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.
