Oh yeah, sounds like you'll be fine on Sou route! c: Don't get me wrong, Neji's the most divisive but I wouldn't call him weird taste! From what I can tell, he and Fumi are the two most popular. If he's for you, you'll have lots of people to gush about him with. c: I think how Neji comes off to different people is largely affected by their own trauma. If you take him at his word and believe he's being honest with you, you're more likely to like and sympathize with him and appreciate his route. If he pings the 'manipulative liar' alarm bells for you, his route is gonna be a rough ride. (Unless you find that personally relatable, which is a valid third option! I do know Neji fans who like him for this reason.) I don't actually have a problem with the summer competition thing either. Like, I absolutely understand why the characters are mad about it, but I'm like... well, he did it to make her better? It wouldn't really be the end of the world if she transferred to Rhodonite or Onyx... I'm pretty fine with anything Neji does to push people's talent tbh, like... that's what you guys are here for? The goal IS actually learning the craft, not winning the theatre festival or being the best class. Don't lose sight of the forest for the trees! (Though Neji can also lose sight of that sometimes for sure) Like, kinda not cool that he didn't respect her autonomy there by not asking her opinion, let alone giving her a choice in the matter, but otherwise I don't have a problem with this. I was actually completely fine with everything he did in common route, even stuff other people have said is 'mean' (mostly stuff in winter arc). I don't see an issue with any of the things he does to force the others become better performers (and this is why nobody questions why I'm a Tanakamigi Chui fan lmao... no, actually sometimes they do, and then I give them an essay XD) It wasn't until I actually played Neji's route that I was like, oh HELL no. XDDD oops... I do appreciate that this game allows Kisa to Be Cool And Good At Things. She doesn't really get downplayed at all from what I remember. I adore Kisa. I would fight Suzu and Sou to be her Jack Ace and I would win. I'm glad the guide was helpful and interesting! Though if you're currently on track for the bad end, you might need to focus your stats a little more. You need to max out your current man's stat at 30 to get his best end and it gets harder the higher it goes. If you're on track for the bad end, that means you must be spreading out your stats evenly. And apparently none of the LIs like it if you're too multi-talented...? (what's the meta on this?? XD) It's easiest to do the bad end while you're doing Kisa route, because you need to be on Kisa route to get the opportunity for the bad end to happen. Personally, I think it also makes more sense if you've played Kai's route already, but that could just be based on how I interpret the events of the bad end (which are, admittedly, super fucking vague. XD)

Why is this woman targeted otome game making me feel seen in a way no overtly transmasc media ever has (Jack Jeanne on Switch)

For context the MC (Kisa Tachibana) is a girl crossdressing as a boy to go to an all boys drama school called Univeil, since it’s all boys some of them play girls for the plays, the ones who play boys are called Jacks and the ones who play girls are called Jeannes

I was guessing since it was a female protag they would make her a Jeanne for the whole game as not to alienate their audience but for her second performance she’s given a male role as a Jack, she struggles with the role at first and has some lines that resonated HARD with me when looking at them through a transmasc perspective:

I’m sure I don’t need to explain much how a transmasc could relate to this, but it was such a nice surprise to have this nuance in a game I really wasn’t expecting to touch on gender this much; I’m not an avid otome game player so maybe I went into it with a lot of bias as I though it would be targeted towards a straight female audience but it was really nice to see them explore Kisa’s gender expression like this. There are more examples I could talk about with the gender commentary but I don’t want to spoil it too much. If you’re interested in the game I should also mention half the guys look like girls it’s literal transmasc bisexual heaven

Overall I’m really enjoying this game so far, I know the community for it is kind of small but if any other Jack Jeanne fans are here I’d love to hear some more opinions too. I’m only up to around the end of the summer holidays/hotel training camp and when they’re moving into the fall performance practice, so I’d appreciate if you could avoid spoilers past then.

ISHIDA MUST BE STOPPED

My brother in christ you cannot do this to us right after dropping that incredible third anniversary art.

First he posted this new art celebrating JJ surpassing 100k copies sold, the characters looking noticeably a bit older. Afterwards he posted a vague tweet like "Wow, sure is a lot of news lately!"

Then he posted this Enishi drawing of his Jack Ace days, which he deleted a minute later. But he did repost it here.

It's also worth noting that the program they're streaming on March 15th is the first time all 7 main character voice actors have been on a program like this together.

Still on my mind.

A friend got me into Cult of the Lamb and it was only a matter of time before this fanart happened tbh. If any of you have played both of these then you know that this needs absolutely no explanation.

In the stage play adaption of Cult of the Lamb, The One Who Waits would undeniably be a Tanakamigi Chui role. The parallels between them are just too good.

Which also means Narinder has to be shirtless. I don't make the rules. (Sorry, CotL fandom. Or maybe you're welcome...?)

this scene is so important to me.
