Masquerade Kiss: Kazuomi Shido Review [SPOILERS]

Hi friends!! I wanted to take a sec to throw in my 2¢ on one Kazuomi Shido. This review is gonna cover the characters and the plot - not the Love Choice system (I know opinions on that are mixed). Long story short? If you like trashy spy stories, do yourself a favor and give this route a shot!

Masquerade Kiss has one of THE BEST premises I’ve ever encountered in a Voltage game. MC’s a super gorgeous secret agent who works for a shadowy organization, and she’s been tasked with unmasking the secrets of one of the most powerful men in the world. In this case her target is Kazuomi Shido, a mega-rich billionaire known as the “Resort King,” who’s famous for throwing epic parties, gambling, and being one hell of a womanizer. The CIA is also convinced he’s trafficking drugs.

When MC and Kazuomi first meet (she crashes his masquerade party), sparks fly. Kazuomi’s determined to get to know the gorgeous and mysterious MC, and she’s simultaneously disgusted yet intrigued by his obnoxious rich boy nature. In the end, MC ends up agreeing to work as the guy’s secretary for a month (long story) in order to get closer to him, and the pair makes a high-stakes bet: if MC falls in love with Kazuomi, he’ll own her - and her secrets. And if she resists his allure, she’ll own his.

As a secret agent on a mission MC has an obvious built-in advantage, but of course, our love interest does a fantastic job of appealing to MC! I’ve heard people refer to Kazuomi as “Walmart Eisuke,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. This might admittedly be my anti-Eisuke bias speaking, haha. Where Eisuke’s cold and demanding, Kazuomi is happy and persuasive. While Eisuke is known for his arrogance, Kazuomi is a guy who loves his cheap beer, and isn’t afraid to wade through a crowd of plebians despite his status (I mean he’s not that down to earth - the guy does buy RUBIES as party favors at some point - but hey, it’s his money, lmao).

Kazuomi does push the boundaries with MC quite a lot while she’s his secretary, dragging her to visit his unfinished resort in Thailand/constantly trying to get her to wear something sexy/sneaking in a kiss, but crucially, he is super respectful when it counts! When MC gets accidentally drunk, he pulls precisely ZERO funny moves, opting to take care of her all night instead. And crucially, he compensates MC generously for her time as his secretary!! You have NO idea just how important that is to me. ^_^ Kazuomi consistently respects all the boundaries that I personally find important, and that really makes the rest of his sexy rule-breaking antics thoroughly enjoyable (and hot).

It’s not just Kazuomi who’s awesome. MC is truly a match for this guy: she’s witty, hard-to-get, outspoken, and focused on her mission. Kazuomi is constantly surrounded by yes men who don’t share his passion for resorts and only see the monetary value in things, so it’s easy to see why MC is such a breath of fresh air for him. I loved MC’s cold/mysterious hot boss and fabulous hair stylist/makeup artist as well - definitely looking forward to enjoying these recurring characters in future stories!

In terms of plot, things were cheesy and pretty predictable, but honestly, I loved it. MC reminds me of the MC from Kiss of Revenge, with her myopic fixation on finishing the mission, but honestly, I don’t blame her, given how much pressure from her agency she’s under. The drug plot line really takes the forefront of the later chapters, which I much prefer over an internal angsty plot line.

Overall, the thing I enjoyed most about this story was its trashy romance novel feel (don’t come in here expecting high literature, lmao). This story felt much more like a love story between two well defined personalities than a self-insert otome, and I loved it!! Kazuomi’s route was fun, sexy, low on angst, and truly enjoyable to read. Even if you’re iffy about the new Love Choice format, I highly recommend you give the story a shot anyways! There are no wait times until 2/17 anyways and the Heart Choices honestly don’t add that much, so there’s no reason not to give at least the free parts of this sexy story a chance! ^_^

Choice quotes:

“I’ll pay you at least what you would make in a month as a day trader.” Finally, an MC who gets paid!! 😍

“If everything about our time together was a lie, then you have my most profound respect.” 💔

“…I felt like it might not be so bad to lose for once.”

Personality: 9/10. This guy is a flirtatious, slightly intimidating playboy with a heart of gold. Slightly cheesy, but still super sexy. Knows what lines not to cross. Definitely one of my Voltage faves!

Appearance: 9/10. Super attractive. The only hotter character in this game is MC’s mysterious, mega-hot boss :)

MC: 10/10. I loved MC! She’s the perfect balance of badass/snarky/witty, yet relatable. Also, she is GORGEOUS!! She and Kazuomi interact as equals and I am so here for it.

Plot/Payoff: 10/10 Really organic (yet trashy) romance with an action-packed and equally trashy drug plot! I loved it.

Personal enjoyment: 10/10. This story is one of my favorite Voltage offerings to date! What an absolutely fun, sexy read. ^_^​

Dear lovely...

Story

It's been half a year since you started dating Sakura Itsuki, your one-year-older lover. Although there's now the distance of a office worker and a university student relationship between the two of you, you still spend time together at each other's home, as you did in the past, passing each day with sweet happiness. Regardless of whether you stayed indoors at one of your homes or spent your time together outdoors, his feelings of love for you did not stop. However, what now stood in the way of your smooth-sailing relationship lies a "trial"...... 

Character

Sakura Itsuki

22 years old, 1st year as an office worker. Was a bright and sociable honors student. As he treats everyone without discrimination and with kindness, he's really popular with both his seniors and juniors, and with men and women alike. He is often relied on by those around him and thus people naturally gather around him, causing him to unconsciously become the centre of attention. He became your acquaintance during his period in university and started dating you then, as well. Despite wanting to be a composed boyfriend for you, he still gets jealous of the men around you. 

You

21 years old, 4th year university student. Itsuki's junior of the same university. During your 3rd year, you met the one-year-older Itsuki and started dating. Your daily life is spent pursuing your university studies and job hunting. As you have a serious personality and work too hard, Itsuki often worries about you.

Animate Tokuten: The Secret through the Reflection

On your day off, you head out together to pick a suit for Itsuki. When he tries on the suit you picked out for him, Itsuki asks you to do his tie for him. "We're like newly weds," you murmur, and then Itsuki suddenly pulls you into the change room...... 

"Be quiet... If you make too much noise, the staff will come, right...?" 

Stellaworth Tokuten: Sweet Reward

You've successfully graduated and found a job. In celebration, you and Itsuki go on a trip to an onsen inn. Itsuki shows appreciation of your hardwork with a reward, allowing you to spend a momentarily happy time together. It seems, however, Itsuki regrets this celebration date a little...... 

"If you show that kind of cute expression... I might... not be able to hold back..." 

Animega Tokuten: The Ecstasy Only for Today

During your class reunion, you get extremely drunk and thus Itsuki takes you all the way back home and helps you change. However, due to the alcohol, you've become more daring than usual and begin to desire Itsuki more and more as he touches you.

"Geez... You're the one who seduced me, okay..."

​初恋の味 －Cheerful flavor－  (The Taste of First Love －Cheerful flavor－)

CV:  オベリスク=絽綺 ​ March 29, 2019 release

The taste of first love is a little bitter...... and exceptionally sweet.

Story

For many years you've had a one-sided love for Shiranami Kai, your home tutor since you were young. No matter how many times you confessed your feelings, he'd avoid it.

"Because you're like a younger sister to me."

You clearly felt the frustrating difference in age whenever he said that. However, on the day of  your 20th birthday, now an adult, you convey your feelings once more. While crossing paths many times, but never meeting... He finally returns your feelings and your long years of unrequited love bears fruit. You experience the happiness of your first mutual love and the sweet times that follows―and then, your first time with him...... 

Character 

Shiranami Kai 

26 years old. The home tutor you've been in the care of since the time of your high school entrance exam. Has been on the receiving end of your affections many times, but evades it, not taking it seriously. He sees you as someone akin to a younger sister, but it's not that he has zero interest in you as a romantic interest. His job as your home tutor was supposed to end with your entrance exam for university, but those days continue as you call him over again to look over your report. After graduating university, he now works as a translator.

You 

20 years old, 2nd year university student. You've been in love with Kai since your middle school days. Studying isn't your forte, but you studied really hard to get into the same university as Kai and succeeded.  You often have Kai look over your studies as an excuse to see him.

Animate Tokuten

Kai seems somewhat listless and down. Worried that he may be sick,  you check his forehead's temperature to see if he has a fever. It doesn't seem to be the case, so you remove your hand in relief but―he draws you into his arms and pesters you for kisses......? 

Stellaworth Tokuten

Kai received a hotel voucher for a suite room from an acquaintance, leading to an overnight-stay date. Not knowing that there would be a pool in the room, you didn't bring a pair of swim wear. You feel down about the wasted opportunity, but Kai says you can just go in with your clothes and drags you into the pool......?

HOBiGIRLS Tokuten

You've come over to Kai's place to hang out, but, really wanting to eat ice cream, you go to the convenience store together. On the way back to his apartment, the elevator malfunctions and comes to a halt. To calm you down, Kai says you should eat the ice cream while waiting for help to arrive. You reply that you wanted to eat it in the warmth of his room, resulting in Kai suddenly embracing you......?
