Voltage Inc’s newest game, Bakumatsu Ishin Amakakeru Koi, will be out this Winter 2021!
I seriously cannot wait.
Hope they localize it...!
(If anyone’s curious, the short name for the game is ‘BakuTen’)
Voltage Inc's Makai Ouji to Miwaku no Nightmare (MakaNai), also known as 'Court of Darkness', has been released!
It's now available at Google Play and the AppStore.

I nearly missed this event, but with schedule changes that happened from my end, I made it.
Birushana Senki ~Genpei Hika Musou~ First Impressions
I basically spent my four-day weekend (known as Silver Week in Japan) playing the game as it got released on 17th September.
This game is really good, and if you're up for a bit of a challenge, give the game a try.
I've finished two routes as my pacing isn't as fast as a native, and I had to look up on some words (late-Heian Period Japanese is no joke) that they use whenever they speak, and so far, Taira no Noritsune and Taira no Tomomori delivered.
I was supposed to go for Musashibo Benkei's route after Noritsune's, but I decided to go for Tomomori instead, despite the fact that Otomate suggested doing his route last. The reason for this would be Fukuyama Jun's performance as the character, as well as Tomomori stealing the scene whenever he appears, whether it's in Noritsune's route or even the common route. He's that good!
I'll share more of my thoughts about Noritsune's route when I have some time. Need to catch up on some sleep too since I've been staying up very late to play the game.
For now, enjoy oogling at these screenshots I took:
And... it's here!
Today is the release date for Birushana Senki and I got my Special Stella Set after work.
Currently on Taira no Noritsune's route, as Otomate has recommended starting with his.
I'm an introvert by nature but I find it crazy that I get to meet people through an otome game.
Yet another thing I'm doing: exchanging bonus postcards with an acquaintance of Y because she wanted my [extra] Mitsuhide postcard while I wanted her Hattori Hanzo postcard.
We're sending/exchanging the items by mailing it to one another ( ´∀`)ﾊﾊﾊ
Anonymous asked:
Hi, can I ask how you knew that Jinpachi’s writer was the same as the Act 2 writers?
I started following scenario writers on Twitter so when Jinpachi's main story got released, the scenario writer retweeted then announced that they were in-charge with writing the main story.
Said scenario writer also listed down the works they've done for Voltage Inc.
What does oshi mean? Is that like, saying a character is your oshi means they're your fave?
That's correct.
For example, if you refer to yourself as a *character*-oshi, it means you're into/a fan of *character*.
One of these days, I’ll probably write an entry as to why Her Love In The Force, referred to as ‘Kouan’ in Japan, is so damn popular among the Japanese fangirls.
Let me know if anyone’s interested in my insights or something
VolFes 2020 Shop Event Report
That got intense so fast.
I asked my friends if they played Nezu Jinpachi's main story and when they said 'yes', I asked them what they thought of it.
Everyone's consensus was, "Him acting all charai was so weird."
Again, if you didn't know, charai refers to a person who's gaudy/flashy/"party-party" type.
... I think I'll pretend his main story never existed for the sake of my own sanity and to preserve whatever fondness I have left for him.
VolFes 2020 blog post will be out soon. Need to gather my thoughts properly for this since it was hecking intense.
Spoiler alert: Kirigakure Saizo loves me so much, he kept appearing among the blind/random merch that I bought.
(frankly, it’s annoying but my close friend likes him so we just trade)
Hello Kiyo, How are you doing? Maybe I sound like a weird person, but I read all of your posts, and I enjoyed them a lot. I also got to know new things about Masamune-san. Thank you for your enthusiastic work ^^ I wanted to ask if you know something about a drama on Netflix called "Age of Samurai Battle for Japan"? My second question is, what kind of resources do you use for your posts about the historic aspects of Sengoku Jidai? Thank you for answering my question. Please take care 😊
Hello, I’m doing okay. Hope you are as well.
Yes, I did hear about ‘Age of Samurai Battle for Japan’. They mentioned that Date Masamune would be featured there, but beyond that, I haven’t heard any other updates.
For your second question, it’s a mix of reading Japanese blogs that talk about Sengoku Period history, as well as sites and articles dedicated to that time period. Whenever the topic on the cover is interesting, I buy a Japanese magazine called ‘Rekijin’.
My Japanese otome game friends and I refer to Kojuro as 'Koju'
But if it's me and my really close friend, we refer to him as 'Kojuju'
Same goes with Shigezane; the Japanese call him ' 'zane-sama'
My close friend and I call him 'Shigenyan-nyan' (from Neko Masamune)
I went to VolFes again this year.
It was a bloodbath for the goods [not surprising], my companions were not in a good mood [more on that later], but I got the goods that I intend to buy!
Hello. It's 35 Pearls for the birthday gacha.
I play both on KoiRan and SLBP, so it's double the expense every September but it's so damn worth it.

Just to let everyone know, if you're eyeing that big-ass Masamune plushie, this year is your only chance to secure it. Gacha will come back next year, but no more big-ass plushie.
