The Otome Games Digest #5
This is now more than a week delayed due to my blogging break last week, and my procrastination blues. A chunk load of updates happened when I was gone, and more otome game sites have also been popping like mushrooms as of late. So yeah, go check out their sites if you want the meaty in-depth otome games info. I’m too lazy to write reviews of the games I’ve played 
In the meantime, I’ll just continue on providing otome games updates ^^
Main Announcements
| PC | |

Da Capo Girl’s Symphony: Da Capo OP movie available for download (or viewing in youtube). w00t w00t!! Oh and for those of you who are planning to buy this game, take note that the limited edition is going to be sold at an earlier date: September 26, as opposed to the normal version’s release on October 24.

Junjou Romantica: Junjou Romantica homepage is up! Boy does this game look smexily steamy. Slated to be released on PS2 this coming October 30. |
 |
VitaminX Y and Z: Ok, so after the hit game VitaminX (whose premise is somewhat like Gokusen, with more rich bostad hotties, bishies, and a pseudo-transvestite too), there’s going to be two mini game sequels, entitled VitaminY and VitaminZ respectively (gee what a creative way of naming!) |
| DS | |
 |
Bakumatsu Renka Shinsengumi: Official homepage opens, where the Shinsengumi members gladly invite you in. |  |
Hoshizora no Comic Garden:This game is looking better than ever. Character page has been added, with profiles and sample screenshots. Release date has been pushed back to September 11, which made some fans sad, but hey if that’s all for the game’s betterment then why not And holy–! This is one seiyuu star-studded game! We have Mamoru Miyano, Hikaru Midorikawa, Toshihiko Seki, Tetsuya Kakihara, and Hiroshi Kamiya :3 |

Marl Oukoku no Ningyou Hime (Rhapsody): Just a little heads up on the new stuff in the DS adaptation of Rhapsody. More mascots and allies! W00t!  |
| PSP | |
 |
Hoshigari Empusa: I’ve been quietly anticipating this game, and much to my sadness that the release date of the PSP version has been pushed back to Winter T-T This is quite a fun-looking otome game, one of the rare multi-player otome games out there, with a reallyyy interesting cast of characters (character-wise and seiyuu-wise). Both the guys and the girls look PURE WIN |

And on Vitamin X Y Z…I don’t know how to react XDD I love Vitamin X, but sequels tend to disappoint me…
@litewolf: yes, I almost fainted when I found out about the seiyuus in Comic Garden too!!
VitaminX and VitaminY will most likely be fun, since they are said to be mini-games
From what I’ve seen though, the people are more excited over VitaminY than VitaminX, and I haven’t digged up much info to find out exactly why.
@usagijen: I guess because Vitamin Y are the old characters while Vitamin Z seems new ones? Or old ones in an alternate universe and different looks? I can’t really tell… But where T6 is, I’ll be there, I bought the limited edition of Vitamin X Evolution just for the cover with them
And I miswrote X Y and Z countless times while writing this post
@litewolf: all for the love of T6
and lol, it’s understandable how X, Y, and Z will be confusing. Blame the creative people who coined these titles 
Oooh Asaki Yumemishi, I just installed it a bit ago
~
I haven’t gotten that far, but so far it’s pretty
lol so far I really love the pretty sound effects.
Now wish I had a PS2 so I could get that JR game.
@KeoDear: Asaki Yumemishi looks really pretty, and I hope the story and overall gameplay is good too! I see lots of potential for it
and yeah, poor Hoshigari Empusa… I’d rather play the PSP version than the earlier released PS2 one.
@Taiyaki: yeah, that game is sooo made for you
Wow, I didn’t expect any old DC characters to return in DC Symphony. I wonder if Nanaka and Suginami are good enough incentives to convince guys to purchase the game.
I’m pretty excited over the Rhapsody port.
Attacking people with dessert is just awesome. I wonder if they’ll add more in terms of story though. Not that they need to per se, but it was wayyy too short a game. 
Oh man, these are cute emoticons… 
Anyway, keep up with the good work!
I love otome games so i’m glad i found this place
…but i’d hate to make a guy angry just because i couldn’t understand what i was saying to him 
bookmarking this place! 
except…have you found any english ones? I know that people can play them without understanding what the other people are saying
late reply is late orz.
@unsquared: I actually forgot to pimp the game with that info, that should pique the guys’ interest to play this otome game
I think they’re gonna add a bit to Rhapsody’s story, though I wouldn’t mind more omake mini games 
Thanks for the support, it’s much appreciated!
@chiyoko: There are only a handful of games ported to English, as far as I know. For PC games, I think there are people who are making translation patches, though I’m not that knowledgeable about ‘em
