I've been wanting to do a post like this for a while, but I wasn't sure if I was able to post links like this. Now that I know I can, I will!

There are a few really old sites and a lot of new sites about Otome Games up :) Please note that I won't be posting any sites that engage in illegal activity...I fully support otome and bl game makers and want them to make money off me so they can make more games *hearts*

BLGHQ - The Boy's Love Game Headquarters has been up for a long, long time! Contrary to the title, it's not just about Boy's Love Games. It covers otome games and other games as well. The forum is relatively active, too (and it's inhabitants friendly and helpful, too!)! There is help for using automatic translation software for PC games here.

Lijakaca's Otome Gaming Blog - This site has lots of pictures and news about new and upcoming games (mainly PS2). I look here a lot to make sure I'm not covering the same material :) The site has been up a lot longer than mine...and might continue after I get bored of writing mine *gigglies* It looks like they are about to move from IGN to Wordpress. I wish I could...but I don't want to have to spend any money for a host...so I'll be stuck here indefinately :)

Ex-Fansubber Hitorigoto - This site periodically reviews otome games. Please beware that the reviews contain a *lot* of spoilers, but I think it's nice to read after you play a game to see what other people thought of the games. There seems to be more reviews of 18+ PC games than not...but the site and reviews are not 18+.

White Butterfly - I found this just last week. It's a new site with only an Ijiwaru My Master review on it so far (as of this writing).

Otome Game Digest - I found this one today and this is and the White Butterfly site (above) made me think of creating this post! I recognize the blogger's name from the BLGHQ. This person's been playing otome games for a long time! Actually I think all of them except the White Butterfly person have been playing otome games for years longer than me!

If you'd like me to post a link here, just comment! I'll give you credit unless you tell me not to, of course! Please note that I'm not going to link any sites with illegal downloads and stuff.

***Aotan's Gaming Front***

On Aotan's Gaming Front...well, I've completed Suguru-tama's (Suguru Oomi) route in Hiiro no Kakera DS (link), and I think he's a bit of a pansy...though he does get a little more manly near the end. I like that he's a nice guy and has pretty long hair, but he still sounds like a bit like a pansy...from the way he talks and all.

So after finishing and capturing one of the guys, you can go on to the "Ano Sora no Shi.ta part...which is much more romantic and cute, imho. It's a little spoilerish...so you may want to play more people before playing this part. It looks like the order they should be played is Person Name, Festival, Christmas and Valentine's Day :) Otherwise the O-chan parts don't make much sense.

And well, as for the rest of my Suguru-tama thoughts:

[spoiler] Hmm...I wish they did a close-up on the engagement ring he gives you. It would have been pretty. He looks wierd in that camel colored coat. I like him better in kimono. Most of them are wearing kimono, not yukata in the Festival chapter. Multilayer = kimono, single visible layer = yukata. I don't think guys wear hada juban under yukata, so...I'm still wishing for a captureable, older O-chan *dreamy sigh* Oh, and in one part they mention that Grandma (Baba-sama) was thinking of sacrificing Tamaki (I think...but I fell asleep while gaming during that part, so I don't remember well)...but she didn't seem to bothered by this. That was strange! [/spoiler]

I think I'll go for Takuma next...or Mahiro-senpai. I'm saving Ryou and Yuuichi-senpai for last...because they look good :) Yuuichi-senpai's voice sounds like velvet *dreamy sigh*

And then well, I'm off to finish the character bios on my drastic Killer entry...sigh. Lots of typing :P Welp, I finished them and even added the contents of the Excellent Box, you so can decide if you want it or not. I've also added a link to the official drastic Killer page :)

I think I'll add some pictures to my previous entry about the HaruToki 4 Treasure Box and then call it a day. I'll probably talk about Glamourous Knight (Lapin) in my next blog entry, so stay tuned...:) Oh, and psst...KoiKoi Zanmai came out on Friday...but I haven't got a shipping notice for mine...well, I ordered from Animate via Himeya, so I knew it'd take a few days longer than ususal, but Keigo-kun, Mutou-sensei and Aso-san (without glasses! *squee*)!
