I find it odd how in all the other routes, Toue lured Aoba and his love interest there to get to Aoba, but in Clear's route, Toue was more focused on Clear than anything else.

Like, he questioned multiple times why Clear rejected him as his master, despite both he and Aoba sharing the same power of Scrap. He said “you went against your own” and included himself in that phrasing but like weren't you the one who said you threw him out because he was a defected model?? Not to mention, you told Clear that you view him as your “child” only to then follow up that statement with “but there are countless replacements for you” but if that's the case then why didn't you just replace Clear with a different alpha model in his bad end?

Why did you keep him specifically if you could just replace him? Do they not all look the same? What makes Clear so special to Toue? Why does Toue want to keep him around? And why did Clear slip up and accidentally call Toue his master in his bad end route only to then autocorrect himself immediately after??

It was implied that before the alphas were made in Clear's image, that it was just Clear, Toue, and the other researchers and Oval Tower workers, Clear's grandpa included. Why did Toue create the alphas in Clear's image if Clear was just a defected android, as good as garbage and deemed useless to Toue and his work? We all know that Toue views Sei and Aoba as his sons in a fucked up abusive sense, that much is evident in how he treats Sei.

But, what about the alphas? What about Clear? They're not his slaves, those would be the residents of Platinum Jail. They're not his children, he treats them far differently than Sei. If they were mere tools used for his research, he would have made an entirely different model after Clear was thrown out, not models that look identical to the same broken machine that failed to give him the results he wanted.

Why did he make Clear? What was his purpose before he was thrown out and why was he deemed defective? Why are the alphas deemed “almost perfect?” What did they do for Toue that Clear didn't do before he was thrown out for him to see them as “almost perfect?” I'm not saying or alluding to anything, I'm just saying it's WEIRD. Like, I'm not the only one who thinks Toue's fascination with Clear is fucking weird, right? Toue Tatsuo is a weird weird man.

What is DRAMAtical Murder?

I’m actually a little surprised to be writing this myself, in the year of our lord 2023, but why not? I didn’t know about it myself until recently, and now that it’s available with an official English translation, it’s a lot more accessible.

First of all, DRAMAtical Murder (or DMMd for short) is a visual novel that came out in 2012 in Japan. It was published by Nitro+CHIRAL, features art by Honyarara, and has some amazing music as well (the theme song is by Goatbed, with ending songs by them, Itou Kanako, VERTUEUX, and Seizi Kimura). It is a boys’ love or BL visual novel, probably the softest of the Nitro+CHIRAL titles; since its publication, it has received several additional pieces of media: a fandisk (Re:Connect), a sanitized version for the PSVita (Re:Code), and even an anime which... is certainly one way to get into it.

In 2021, Jast Blue made an official translation which was released both on Steam (censored) and their own website (uncensored). A patch is available on their website to restore the uncensored content for those who purchased it on Steam, which still allows the player to receive all the achievements. There was also a fan translation lovingly created many years ago, and the controversy over which version is better rages on. I won’t comment about it here; just know that whichever version you prefer, that is your right.

But what is DMMd about? Well... this is gonna get long, so let’s buckle in.

DMMd is set in a near-future cyberpunk setting, generally positive and colorful rather than dystopian. The story takes place on an island off the coast of Japan, Midorijima (literally “green island”), where many of the residents have been forced off the island due to the building of a gigantic sort of adult playground, Platinum Jail, where the rich and elite party like there’s no tomorrow. The remaining residents of the island live in what’s left of the city, though the owner of Platinum Jail, Tatsuo Toue, seems to be trying to grasp the remaining land as well for his own purposes.

Some of the residents have taken to forming gangs called Ribstiez, which control different parts of the Residential District. Others play a virtual game called Rhyme that takes place entirely within the players’ minds. This is facilitated through the use of Allmates, small robotic creatures that can look like anything the user desires and have multiple functions -- some manage social media, some help their owners with their daily schedules, etc.

Our protagonist is the young man known as Aoba Seragaki.

Aoba, 23 years old and single at the start of the game, works at Heibon Junk Shop. He is demonstrated to have an unusually persuasive voice when he chooses to, but -- aside from that, and his hair having sensation in it -- he seems to be an ordinary young man just trying to live a simple life. He lives with his grandmother, Tae, as his parents left Midorijima when he was young, and he has an Allmate: a small, fluffy, blue dog resembling a Japanese Spitz, named Ren.

Aoba has four potential love interests (plus a secret one whose route is unlocked as you play through the others’ routes).

First up is Koujaku.

Koujaku is an old childhood friend of Aoba’s. He had to leave the island when they were young, but came back around three years prior to the start of the story. He leads the Ribstiez gang known as Beni-Shigure and has a red sparrow Allmate named Beni. To supplement his income, he works as a wandering hairdresser and sets up on the street to cut hair. He and Aoba have a comfortable friendship that gets tested in his route.

Next, we have Clear.

Clear is a mysterious stranger who literally falls out of the sky the first time he and Aoba meet. He refers to Aoba as “Master” and refuses to take his gas mask off under any circumstances. To say any more about him would spoil literally his entire route.

Next up is Noiz:

Noiz appears first when he challenges Aoba to a match in Rhyme, insisting that Aoba is an old player of the game despite the fact that Aoba doesn’t remember ever having played Rhyme in the past. Noiz is part of a Rhyme gang known as the Ruff Rabbitz, and his Allmate is a small black-and-green cube called Usagimodoki. It’s entirely possible he has several of them, since they can be seen hanging in chains from his belt. Noiz works as an information broker to earn an income on Midorijima, but he’s not originally from there, as we learn on his route.

Finally, we have Mink.

Mink is a complicated character, as he doesn’t speak too much and when he does, it tends to be in riddles. He’s also not originally from Midorijima; while it’s not specified, his aesthetic is very much Native American. He has a pink cockatoo Allmate who is not named during the main game. Mink runs a Rib gang called Scratch made up of escaped convicts. His reasons for wanting Aoba on his side are his own, only revealed far into his route. His is the darkest of the routes, and I would say a trigger warning is in order for this one.

As for the final love interest, I won’t talk about it here. More fun to find out for yourself, right? Just remember: there’s some weird shit in this game.

Lest I forget, I must mention some other important characters. First up, Aoba’s friend Mizuki.

Mizuki runs the largest Ribstiez gang on Midorijima, Dry Juice. He’s a tattoo artist and owns a combination tattoo parlor and bar, the Black Needle.

There’s also Virus and Trip.

Virus and Trip (who are emphatically not twins) are a pair of yakuza who seem to show up a lot around Aoba. They claim to be his biggest fans.

Of course, there’s also Tae, as well as Aoba’s boss Haga (who has a robotic Allmate named Junker), Yoshie (who runs a courier service and owns a sleek dog Allmate, Clara), and a trio of young siblings who torment Aoba at his work - Mio, Nao, and Kio. In addition, one of the most corrupt cops on the island, Akushima, regularly pops up to bother the characters.

As the common route progresses, Aoba learns more about himself and his past -- and realizes he has to stop what’s happening before it’s too late. He eventually heads into Platinum Jail no matter which love interest’s route is chosen; the events that unfold change depending on which route you’re on, but playing through all of them and unlocking the secret route will finally reveal the truth of it all.

Re:Connect, as befits a fandisk, explores more with each of the love interest routes after their good endings (and also a bit more of the bad endings). It also has a route specifically to fill in Aoba’s backstory and youth. Re:Code is basically the same game, but sanitized -- all of the sex scenes were removed and given “cleaner” CGs. It did add a route for Mizuki, which involved more of Aoba’s backstory. Finally, the anime was passable, though it compressed all the love interests’ stories into an episode each and went with the secret route for the ending. It is absolutely unwatchable in dub, except for laughs and memes. Re:Connect can be found and played with the fan translation online, and is absolutely worth locating. Re:Code, unfortunately, is still only available to play on the PSVita and has not been translated at all.

Oh, and there was also a stage play! Remarkably, they produced a butai in 2019, well after the games had come out, with the different love interest routes portrayed on alternate days. I would be happy to make a post babbling about that if there’s interest. Apparently the original run did well enough that a new production was announced earlier this year, which will be happening at the end of April. A new route was added for Virus and Trip, and the whole thing is supposed to be a “supercharged” version, not just a retread of the original.

OH I FORGOT there are also drama CDs that continued all of the love interests’ stories and had even more new music, as well as some other fun things like a special drama CD for the anime release, an April Fool’s game that basically parodied Mother (Earthbound), and manga. And there’s a webtoon now. And lots of merch. And figures. Basically there’s just a lot of fun stuff to find.

And that’s DMMd! I obviously love it quite a bit, but I certainly acknowledge that it has its flaws and difficult scenes. I’d still recommend it, though. I think the writing is very well handled and the sex scenes are hot as fuck.

Rólad nem mondok le

by BlackAnde

Hihetetlenül kedves, támogató, szorgalmas. Nagy testvér, unokaöcs és diák. Mindig ott van, amikor az embernek szüksége van rá. Energikus, jó humorérzékkel. A SFIT egyik kiemelkedő tanulója. Ez lenne Hamada Tadashi.

Ezzel szemben Noiz (későbbi becenevén Usagi) egy informatikai zseni, minden számítástechnikai eszközzel könnyen boldogul. Első, sőt második pillantásra is egy magának való zárkózott alak. Határozottan NEM az akivel egy kávé mellett leülhetsz beszélni. Ugyanakkor mint sokaknak, neki is megvannak a maga, mélyen őrzött titkai. Többek között a neve.

Mi következik abból ha ezek ketten találkoznak az egyetemen egy véletlen és Callaghan professor közrejátszásával?

Ez a történet a Big Hiro 6 eseményei előtt, megközelítőleg másfél évvel veszi kezdetét. Mikor Hiro még középiskolába jár.

Ok ok but listen... DMMD TANGLED AU! Aoba=Rapunzel(long hair white,short hair blue) Whoever you want=Flynn Rider I was thinking Ren=Maximus(unless you make him Flynn) Tatsuo Toue=Mother Gothel Ok but we replace the parents with big brother Sei instead! ??=captain of the guard Trip and Virus=The twin thief’s Those are the characters I can think off on top of my head but what do you think?? I LOVE YOUR ART BY THE WAY! Just needed to share this with someone!

AWWW THANK YOU! HNGHHHH How I miss the DMMD stuff. And I like this idea!  O wO

[goth-automaton]

Wellllll, what about 001 for DMMD? :D :D :D

Let's see~

Favorite character: The beb!

Least Favorite character: Tatsuo Toue. Fuck. That. Guy.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Koujaku/Aoba, Noiz/Aoba, Mizuki/Sei, Mink/Aoba, Mink/Sei

Character I find most attractive: Koujaku. I am not immune to tattooed samurais. 😳

Character I would marry: No self shipping here, sorry.

Character I would be best friends with: Aoba probably. ^^

A random thought: Antis in this fandom will never stop baffling me, given the fact Aoba theoretically fucks his dog, his brother and himself. At the same time. Canonically. And it's the golden ending!

An unpopular opinion: Human Ren is kinda ugly. I first wanted to say Aoba is fucked up for wearing socks during sex, but I don't think it's that unpopular, lol.

My canon OTP: Koujaku/Aoba.

Non-canon OTP: Ooof, hard to say, given the fact it's a yaoi with multiple routes... But I used to be a lot, and I mean A LOT, into Mizuki/Sei and I still like this ship, so let's go with them. ^^

Most badass character: Nuff said.

Pairing I am not a fan of: Ren/Aoba. I know it's a golden ending one, but. Nope. (This route's bad ending theme fucks btw).

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): SEI. WHERE'S MY BABY'S GOOD ENDING?!

Favourite friendship: Clear and everyone. He's a sweetheart. 💜

Thank you! 💜
