Because in the Baki universe, all POTUS(since 2009) are required to make a pledge to Yuujiro in-person that America will never get in his way or something. Absolutely sure there's a compilation- look for yourself if intrigued; I won't be soiling yall timeline haha.

I left this out in my Cinderellife review — since it would have been the only thing people remembered from the video. But in a recent-ish Baki Rahen episode, Yuujiro threatens to rape an Orange and a Melon and their bodyguards, alluding to an orgy lol

I review Level-5's [Cinderellife]; a rather mysterious hostess/kyabajo RPG for little girls featuring cameos by cartoon characters from the 60s. Just who were the target audience? We'll never know.

Oh yeah, Frontwing of the Grisaia fame is launching a visual novel with 32 characters; and after all these years we're finally getting an Otome game designed by Ooyari Ashito. Man, Nocchi male art are fans are eating well next year.

Machine Child has a self-censor option named 'Caring Mode'(While 配慮 directly translates to 'considerate,' it carries a deeper, more empathetic and kind nuance) for all your streaming/review needs. Currently the best-selling game in dlsite for several consecutive days. Maybe it just might hit Steam?

Here's a short 'Slightly Ecchi(according to the package)' Psychic Romantic Comedy visual novel published by Takara. The 90's Anime Romcom vibes are strong in this one. But there's a BL ending! How about that.

fyi Nocchi's also really good at drawing guys(of all type and size) and I spent a good portion of my high school years excessively searching for his illustrations featuring dudes lol

MACHINE CHILD will probably be the game most spiritually close to the original Princess Maker series. After all, it's created by Lolicon Royalty Oyari Ashito(aka NOCCHI). After 9 years, it's finally done and will be on dlsite in September. Hope this hits Steam someday.

Even the cover art is Lucky Dog1 and that was like... over a decade ago? And now I learn there was a Switch port in 2022 and Tennenouji is making a new BL game.
Anyways, here's the index for anyone interested. afaik, no digital copies.

Didn't include in video cuz it diverts too far from the subject; the book publisher Headroom came back with another BL/Otome game publication in June 2025. Probably the only magazine where you can get old-school BL Shikishi in the year of 2025. Look! Seraphim Spiral, Naked Butler and Sukisho lol

Happy Idolm@ster 20th as I go on a full-on review on 7(seven!!) ports for the OG Idol Sim, [Tanjou ~Debut~].
I didn't expect the review to be this long. But you gotta do what you gotta do, especially when there's not much info on it compared to its popularity back in the days.

Early Access for Princess Maker Children of Revelation(or to me, K-Princess Maker) has a release date! As in tomorrow, Friday, July 4th, 2025.
D-zard attributed the delay to Steam's review process. It's also available in English, so play it to your heart's content!

I'm quite wary of early access games(Wasteland 2 traumatized me) so not sure whether or not I'll pick this up or not(but it's quite obvious the team is struggling financially), but it's nice that English speakers can enjoy the early access version if intrigued.

D-ZARD missed their early access launch date for K-Princess Maker; it was expected at 'the end of May'.
Asurajang(D-ZARD's other project) not doing well is another concern.
Meanwhile, you can see the trailer, and apparently it will be available in English as well!

Noda Junko(VA for Hinomoto Hikari, the main heroine of Tokimeki Memorial 2) has attended this weekend's Tokimemo concert and wants a Tokimemo2 reunion live as well! Make it happen, Konami.

Wrestling with launching dmm player. iPad's running out of space and dmm being notoriously anti-foreign doesn't help. It used to work with VPN before the latest update; I've googled stuff to no avail. Anyways, here's my Gakumas 1st year report card. All girls(-Misuzu) have around 1.9mil fans.

I'm so used to having like 5+ minutes of boot time way back from the olden days, so slow bootup wasn't that much of a concern to me. Plus the PC ran fine for 7 years.
Anyways, I really appreciate all your support so far. Will keep on hoarding them for the day I buy a Switch 2.

Thanks to you Patreons' support, I finally have a Windows-11 running PC on a SSD! Wow, it boots up mere seconds. I've been using HDD thus far and Windows started just about the right time I wake up, do bathroom things and put away the dishes. My sibling's like, how did you even survive this long lol

Even Kokura admits the development for the original Tokimeki Memorial was so gruelling he and the other team members felt like they never wanted to make another dating sim after, but chose to stay for the PlayStation port after the overwhelming response.

Kokura Masashi(one of the original designers/illustrators) pointed out Konami did not acknowledge Tateishi Ryuga, the founding father of the Tokimeki Memorial series in the end credits. Must have thoroughly burned that bridge.

Minori(from Drama Series) found! Suzune will probably be somewhere as well.

Also, the bathtub peeping event is alive and well, so no need to decry censorship lol (if Tokimemo1 Emotional ever gets a EN release it'll probably get cut thou)
