a LOT more of the early scenes get. a lot lot worse when you find out that aaron definitely remembers their childhood. i talked about the scene when aaron first sees his bracelet on luke's wrist already but there's a LOT more scenes that are a LOT worse in hindsight....during the infiltration into accardo enterprises, if you play as luke you can choose to "protect" aaron from one of the security bots/lazers by diving in front of him. iirc aaron gets surprised/upset if you do that as luke and says smth along the lines of "don't be an idiot and go in front of me like that" which is a pretty "standard" line but like. during their flashback it's shown that luke was the one crawling in front of him when they were trying to escape the smoke and luke passes out/gets knocked unconscious partially because of it.........yeah i think theres a reason that aaron might not want you to go in front of him dawg

Hm, I think Luke might be the first puppy-type character who’s autistic rather than ADHD…

HOLY SHIT.

Now that I’ve (kinda) finished PL:A, I gave in to my urge to play Buddy Mission Bond, primarily because of the cool illustrations, and the gameplay seemed kinda interesting, too 😀

Played the trial version and I loved it ☺️ Of course the most interesting part imo is the Buddy Mission/Infil part hehe.

And the in medias res opening made me want to play more to see where the story goes 😆 so went ahead and bought the full game lol (good thing the save data from the trial version carries over to the full game so I can continue where I left off 😆)

Look who enjoyed Buddy Mission Bond so much she had to have postgame drama CDs and the OST 😆☺️

Got the deluxe edition of Ekkyou no Hasmary (Crossing into Hasmary), which includes a drama CD scenario book and two extra CD covers (can’t fully show the brown one because it’s late game spoiler territory) and Holiday Barrel, which includes an extra CD cover, holiday greeting cards and an M♾ card to view the main characters’ birthday episodes (which I think is also available on the game’s twt account).

And the OST ☺️ love the jazz 😄 my favorite track is definitely Coffee with Milk.

OPM isn't Murata's only seemingly vaguely BL-inspired work - If you like detective games with a strong cast and intriguing connections between the cast, have you considered checking out the 2021 game "Buddy Mission Bond," produced by Koei Techmo/Ruby Party and published on the Nintendo Switch?

The storyline follows 4 "main characters" who each have their connections to an ongoing conspiracy, wherein a mysterious mark appears on the necks of those who seemingly go insane out of nowhere. These characters (Luke Williams, Aaron, Mokuma Endou, and Chesley Nichols) are all unique in their designs and personalities and have really interesting backstories that tie together super well.

One of the strongest points of the game is also its narrative regarding mixed racial identity - Much of the game's plot revolves around an island wherein a "traditional" culture is at odds with the more modernized tourism industry of the island, and one of the characters (Sui Accardo) grapples with what it means to be mixed and how her identity as a mixed-race person connects her to her family. The careful handling of her racial identity is a level of attention that I don't normally see from games which feature (implied) a mixed White-Asian person, as many games tend to just make them Japanese in all but appearance and brush over the difficulty that mixed people can feel with a few offhand comments.

Anyways, back to the BL. You can see Murata's influence (lmfao) in BMB artworks as well, which I would tout as another super strong point of the game. There is a frankly astounding amount of original artwork for this game, illustrated by Murata, and you can see how his influences (cited above) have left their impact on how he draws the characters.

Please check this game out!!!! It's currently only available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, but if you speak one of those languages - IT'S VERY WORTH PLAYING!!!!!

I was today years old when I found out Yusuke Murata uses BL as a reference to draw male characters in One Punch Man

Now everything makes sense

wait, was there an english patch of buddy mission bond happening but then stopped? i remember searching it up years ago and didn't see anything about it, but recently i found a now deleted reddit pointing to (or at least talked about) it. but there aren't any comments on that post sooooo shrug emoji

happy birthday to shiki accardo......i love him dearly.........his and sui's relationship always makes me so sad. even post-canon it shows that they struggle to connect with each other, but they both put in a lot of work and find comfort in each other as the only two members of their family left :( i was especially touched by how sui promises to call him every day........another thing that gets me is how he bonded so much to his grandmother even when she didn't know, she still cared so much about him....

I put some of Nippon Ichi's VNs from a few years ago on here in the off chance that, after bringing Process of Elimination over, they'd be willing to bring more over, too.

It's nice to see a bunch that were on last year's list actually got brought over or are in the process of coming over.

...seriously, KT, please bring Ciel Nosurge DX/Ar Nosurge DX over.

" i ran out of options. " MISS DONNA ?? / @proditeur

SO THIS WAS REGULUS. elusive, handy, known only from second hand stories REGULUS that donna had heard oh so much about. vouches from dick, stories from jason, it felt like regulus was in and out of so many moments donna was surprised to have missed. THEN AGAIN, with that crowd, they always did seem to run rather stealthy. she accepted that anonymity, she'd like to say, with grace. but even still: " it's nice to put a face to a name. " she smiled, nodding him in to her apartment and out of the busy new york street. LESS NICE, perhaps, than the reason why he was here. she had a highly suspicious feeling it had something to do with the four unanswered texts she'd sent to dick in the past week. the radio silence from jason, maybe. in their line of work a few check ins missed here and there was natural, maybe even good for the soul, but when an unknown face came knocking it usually wasn't the harbinger of heaven. after all, gotham always seemed to have a way of pulling it's recruits back in. she guided them in to the (small, but cozy) living room, motioning at the chairs absently, offering a seat. " i'm afraid i'm not a very good one. haven't heard from any gotham boys in at least a week. " last she'd heard dick was (pouty dick grayson voice here) HEADED BACK TO GOTHAM for something or other vaguely bruce-shaped. and donna hadn't heard anything about jason leaving the city in some time now. ergo: no news was bad news, she had no idea where to place them last except the ever-present threat that was gotham. and it's protectors. she frowned, thoughts lost in an endless stream of analyzing and over-analyzing any of the last times she'd spoken to them. donna's blue eyes flicker back up to her companion, having been lost in thought staring at her old, faded rug. the little seed of optimism that sounded vaguely like koriand'r reminding her she might've just made a couple of frightening correlations that might not even be true. " is this about dick or jason? "
