#dont mind the cxm

[kaoharu]

NO YOU’RE NOT RAMBLING THAT’S SO REAL likeeee it’s probably common progressions/specific keys + psychology but music is just beautiful like that anyway. it kind of reminds me of the ohshc ending which is already nostalgic so maybe that’s it… wow these guitar strums have hands… they’re both different though of course but yeah. though i know little abt cxm takeru and kei look very sillays … and i love the art style in general… also !!!!! wee

oooh yeah ur prob right :o the mind works in mysterious ways i thinksies . . . ALSO I CAN KINDA HEAR THAT YEAH OMG i havent thought abt ohshc in a Long time woah . . . and yeah !!! i adore the cxm art its always nice to look at :3 takeru is just a silly guy i prommy . . . kei is too tho i personally dont like him That much ( he is more of a blorbo in law i suppose . . . ? idk i just like him out of association w someone else ) he is voiced by yuki kaji tho so that points for him 🔥 also hehe

A3! Magazine Interview Translation - B's-LOG August 2018 [New Face Interview]

The newly joined members of MANKAI Company cross-talk about their impressions of the theatre company and each other.

*Please read disclaimer on blog

---

—All of you are new members who joined MANKAI Company. Starting off, please tell us your impressions of the theatre company.

Kumon: Nii-chan’s there!

Azami: A bro-con remark right off the bat?

Chikage: As expected, huh? But also… we eat curry often.

Guy: Right. It fluctuates. But on average, we have curry three times a week.

Azami: On that note, I hear Omi-san say, “I told you we should have curry once a week” about once a week too.

Chikage: It doesn’t have any effect on Director-san though.

Kumon: Hey, but the curry Director makes is super yummy, so it’s fun gobbling it down together!

Guy: I have never experienced such a lively dining table before.

Azami: The dorm is always noisy, not just at mealtimes.

Chikage: That’s true. You can hear the sound of laughter and fighting all over the place.

Guy: The laughter usually comes from Miyoshi and Nanao teasing Sumeragi, or when Arisugawa praises himself for his poems.

Azami: And the fights are Banri-san and Juza-san, huh?

Kumon: Tenma-san and Yuki do too!

Chikage: Those pairs sure fight everyday without getting tired of it. Is that what you call: “the more they fight, the more they get along”?

Guy: “The more they write, the more they gather round”? That is the first time I have heard that saying.

Chikage: Yes, that’s the first time I’ve heard it too.

Kumon: Ah, that reminds me! I heard a high-pitched voice yelling “PIGYAH!” from the ceiling last night!

Azami: Ha? That ain’t a human voice, no matter how you think of it.

Kumon: EHH!? T-then could it be… this?

Guy: …What is that pose? Are you a thief turning himself in?

Chiakge: I think he’s posing like a ghost.

Guy: A goat? I think it would be difficult to visit a farm though.*

Chikage: That’s right. That body language denotes, “I’ll hold myself back”.

Kumon: Ooh! Really! I’ll use this on Sumi-san next time! There’s nowhere else to put triangles in our room, so hold yourself back~!

Azami: …This is so fricken stupid I can’t keep up. At any rate, that’s prolly the Manager’s voice, ain’t it? He’s always makin’ noises like that when he’s getting thrashed by shitty Sakyo.

Kumon: Hmm… was it really the Manager’s voice~?

Guy: I suspect it is Kamekichi. Above the ceiling is the Manger’s room—or rather, Kamekichi’s nest.

Kumon: Ahh! That might be it! I feel like it was close to a bird’s call! Thank God~, it wasn’t a ghost!

Chikage: I’m surprised Kamekichi can also chirp like a bird.

Azami: I’ve only heard him talk like a human.

Guy: He wasn’t talking to us humans, but holding a conversation with a fellow bird. I heard he has a lover who’s a pigeon.

Chikage: Oh, did he bring in a female? Good for you, Kamekichi.

Azami: B-bring in…!? Don’t say something so disgraceful!

Chikage: That’s not allowed either, huh… In any case, both MANKAI Company and dorm life are so rowdy, I don’t know what to say.

Guy: But in spite of your words, you don’t seem to mind it?

Chikage: I simply got used to it.

Kumon Um, how do I put it? There’s lots of people at home, so there’s a lot going on everyday with loads of laughs and fights…

Azami: A big family, maybe?

Kumon: That’s it! It feels like one, huge family!

Guy: I would deem that the best description of MANKAI Company.

Chikage: I… definitely agree.

—And now, finally, please give us your impressions of each other.

Chikage: Our personalities are way too strong. We have a bro-con, the son of a Yakuza, an android… this is simply chaos.

Azami: An unidentifiable, shady, four-eyes dude is not far off either.

Chikage: And who are you referring to?

Azami: Uh, you, obviously.

Guy: Even with my scanning, Utsuki is Unknown. I am rather curious about your true identity.

Kumon: Unknown…! That’s sick…

Chikage: I’m just a regular old office worker. Guy-san, on the other hand, is the one with the absurd android set-up. I’ll put you back 100%, so won’t you let me disassemble you next time?

Guy: A complete shutdown can only be exercised by Zafra’s secret agency. I apologize, but please let go of that notion.

Kumon: A secret agency!? I-I wanna hear more about that! Guy-san!

Guy: Do you like mechanics too, Kumon? You’re just like Takato.

Azami: More than mecha, that guy likes—.

Kumon: WAHHHHH!! A-Azami~ is really mature—not like a middle schooler at all, right!?

Guy: His height is also 10cm taller than average. On that note, the average height of a male student in their third year of middle school is approximately 166cm.

Chikage: I see, that sort of data has been inputted into you too? Impressive.

Azami: I’m more surprised you know my height than the average height.

Kumon: Guy-san’s super efficient! He’s so cool…!

Chikage: Kumon is…

Azami: A bro-con.

Guy: That is the second time that word has been brought up today… but that’s all we have, so there’s no helping it. Kumon’s tremendous love for his brother is intense.

Kumon: Ehehe. My love for nii-chan won’t lose to anyone else, after all!

Guy: Come to think of it, Furuichi told us to “deepen our friendship as fellow newcomers.”

Azami: There’s no need.

Chikage: I agree.

Kumon: Eh~, I wanna be friends with all of you though~. We’re the rookies, right? I kinda feel close with you guys already!

Guy: I see. It’s different from our troupes, but I see no harm in building a friendship with each other. Cooperation is imperative.

Azami: What a pain…

Chikage: Well, I suppose it’s fine to get along in moderation. Let’s keep working together from now on, fellow rookies.

Kumon: I’m lookin’ forward to it!

Guy: Yes. Please take care of me.

Azami: …*Sigh*. I’ll try.

---

*I had to completely change this joke for it to work. Chikage originally says “幽霊” (yuurei: ghost), which Guy mishears as “遊泳” (yuuei: swimming). Then Guy says he thinks it’s too early to start swimming--and then the rest follows.

Hey, I love your blog and reading your playthroughs! What do you think the best otome game for the switch is? I’m planning on getting one once midterms are over

hello hello! sorry for the late reply and awww thank you for enjoying my silly lil playthrus hahahaha youre so sweet for taking the time to give me an ask im happy now heeee

oooo well so far ive played four (4) otome games that have been ported to switch. ill list down the 4 with some brief details so you can decide!

Collar x Malice

arguably one of the best otome games made from otomate/idea factory. the story has a crime scene thriller kinda vibe and each route is so good! it has a sequel called collar x malice unlimited which is super optional since its just more fanservice/romantic scenes + additional route about the villains side of the story. i personally enjoy this game too because kaji yuki (my fav seiyuu) is in it and he voiced my favourite character of all <3 (not bias nope lol) to me it has a nice balance of angst comedy romance and drama. the topics they handled arent that problematic but i did get stressed in some of the routes due to the atmosphere it was delivering. BUT at the same time its a good kind of stress so i welcome it hehe. also the op and ed song slap so hard

also might i add that this game successfully made me love the villain of the story and i hate every living moment of it.

Piofiore: Fated Memories

like cxm this story is just as angsty and dramatic. but be warned: this story has a lot of trigger warning/problematic contents. basically it has topics such as sexual and drug abuse, noncon/dubcon, blood, descriptive descriptions of violence and gore. HOWEVER SO the problematic contents only exist in the bad ends of each route so if you dont mind not finishing the cg gallery, it can be avoided. HOWEVER 2 there are certain routes yangs route cough that deliver the problematic content even if youre progressing to the happy end.

now warnings aside, i genuinely love this game!! the mc is actually very strong willed and smart (as you do the happy and normal ends) and what i love about this game is that the bachelors arent the typical goody goody boys. they all have flaws and to me thats what i love in a character. there are some sweet and funny moments but honestly if youre looking for a more serious intense story who likes to dive into darker content piofiore is the one for you. also yangs voice is sexy as all fuck.

also also it has a sequel and im praying to God it gets localized and released next year i need more of these filthy bastards

Code: Realize - Guardian of Rebirth -

now this one is VERY story-focused. the general route before you get to be in the bachelors route is quite long. even when i speedran, it takes around mmmm nearly 30 mins before i get to be in the route i want? personally im quite neutral with this game. it has a more light-hearted content which weighs more than the angst and sadness it delivers. so if youre looking for a happier story with lovable characters this ones the game for you!

i should add however that it has a sequel that ties up some loose ends from the first story. and next year it will port its 3rd game thats more of an au with a happier side for the villains. if you have a ps4, i highly rec buying the ps4 version since code realize combines its 1st story and its sequel while the 3rd game is a diff cartridge. if you dont however, u can still enjoy the 1st game as it is. even the yandere of the game isnt as scary as the first 2 games i explained and really, to me hes just a sad baby and i love him ;w;

Cafe Enchante

this game is coming out next month 5th nov!! CANNOT WAIT HONESTLY so far what ive heard it has amazing reviews too and it has a more light-hearted fluffy content??? i know i said i prefer drama and angst but after the emotional roller coaster piofiore gave me i welcome this with open arms lol

also one of the characters is voiced by ono yuuki. who voiced silver in pokemon masters. and the protags name is kotone. i cannot NOT play this game. also junichi suwabe is in here too and he voiced a dilf. and you can woo a headless knight. an actual headless knight. personally i can already see myself loving this game.

[sexysilverstrider]

hey i have a question if you don’t mind! i’m having a hard time finding the answer through google—what’s the difference between c x m unlimited and the original? i already played the original & i’m not sure what additions/changes there are in the new one. like, is it a sequel, or did they just add more routes to the original story? thanks!

hello! i dont mind at all hehehe

cxm unlimited is basically a sequel. it shows what happens after each route. there are also side stories of 3 unromanceable characters n 2 of them were like a mini route ❤️ i think the main attraction is the adonis route which is an au route. im still early in the route but man it hurts ;w;

tbh if you enjoy cxm i bet youll enjoy cxmu! quick note however. the translation problems are...a mess esp in takerus route. ppl have emailed aksys n hopefully we will get a patch in the future. but all in all i rec playing it!
