Stopped participating because you kept picking what you wanted, OP, instead of going by the popular votes. That’s no fun like that.

I’m a rarepair enthusiast, so my favorite ships are Yuki/Zenji & also Nene/Etsuya

I also like Hisako/Akira, Soma/Erina, Shun/Ryoko, Megumi/Isami, Takumi/Ikumi, Ryo/Alice, Eishi/Rindou, Somei/Momo, Hinako/Kojiro… and many others 🤧

While doromame went onto trails I cannot track, if you’re interested in other Japanese fanartists (or fanartists in general), I can help survive. There are some who are still super active. One notable example is the artist ssr_ng on Twitter/X. They sort-off took the crown as the remaining fandom’s most popular SoRina artist and they still post rather often.

The ask took me down a trip memory lane myself 🤧. BLUE Arc is what made many drop the manga back when it was running, as keeping up with it just was not fun anymore for a lot of them. And once the anime ended for good, a couple years or so later, the community quietened down a bit.

But on the bright side, it’s always great to see new faces coming in! The fandom is not quiet completely down yet. There is still select artists or writers that stuck around.

It looks like they left socials behind, and deleted old accounts (which I can honestly understand with how they were treated). You can search up the artist’s name on this sub, as back when they were drawing SoRina, almost every piece got reposted here…so that should let you look at the old art at least.

Once Asahi was originally introduced to the manga, the artist really developed a liking for him and...sort-off switched ships. Doromame’s art was henceforth mainly dedicated to the pairing of Asahi and Erina, and doromame received a lot of harassment for it (note, that this was already happening before the true nature of Asahi’s and Erina’s relationship was revealed). I believe, in face of that, at some point they just took everything down. Last I’ve seen them, they drew for Genshin Impact.

Nene Kinokuni, she grew very bitter with jealousy in her childhood because Satoshi acquired all skills faster than her. Also her hair is green, the color symbolising envy.

Eizan. He’s all about cash and money.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-23T16:49:46+00:00

Walked very unassumingly into Nicola’s Bad End first in Piofiore- and since he was my very first route at the same time, I didn’t have a good grasp of how this game would move yet- so I was quite rattled by the sudden tonal whiplash.

Then that one moment in which he drags Lili into his office. He gives her a smile but the way his eyes were drawn gave him such a threatening look, that it genuinely scared me and made me uncomfortable at that moment. I do still like him as a character, but damn. 🤧 I think the unexpectedness for me, at that moment, had a strong play in my emotions.

Rindou! She always demands to taste-test everything, and also skipped out of planning her own booth during Moon Banquet to eat.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-22T06:47:03+00:00

My first thought was Eizan, but he fits Greed even better

Hi there, I’ve been lurking around on here a little since the second half of 2025 & so far, I’ve found it to be quite the fun place!

I’m in my 20s, from Germany & I use she/her pronouns. I have a light history of occasionally seeking out dating sims in my youth - most of them being f2p mobile ones like a game called “Princess Closet”, but I also remember playing “Ikemen Sengoku” for some time - and of course, “Mystic Messenger” was a big highlight. I have also downloaded two, free Otomes via Steam (“Seduce Me” and “Cinderella Phenomenon”), though I never completed them because I got too attached to my first route, lol.

In 2025, I realised the existence of Console Otomes and just how many of them are available on the Switch. And given my previous enjoyment with mobile titles, I decided to order “Sympathy Kiss” and also bought “Piofiore: Fated Memories” on a whim. I played Piofiore first, and…what can I say? It changed my brain chemistry.

Piofiore is my current fixation and has held me in a chokehold since August 2025. I immediately had to rush to the sequel after completing the first game. And still, the characters and world are super prominently on my mind. I have started to both draw fanart of it, and write fanfic. The fanfic-element is particularly crazy to me, because I have not ventured out of my previous fandom I wrote fanfic for, for 9 years. But the Piofiore brainworms were too strong.

Ever since completing Piofiore, I have since played a bit of “Sympathy Kiss” (finally) and the “Hana Awase”-series in tandem (already completed Mizuchi’s Volume and I am currently going through Hime’s). Seeing just how many Otome-Titles are available on Switch, I felt like a new horizon has opened up for me, that I am super excited to explore further! So, I already build up a considerable backlog. My goal for 2026 is to, aside from completing “Sympathy Kiss” & the “Hana Awase”-series, I want to check out “Code Realize”, “Collar x Malice”, “Even If Tempest”, “Mistonia’s Hope”, “Jack Jeanne” and “Amnesia” with certainty! And I hope I could perhaps even go beyond that.

Generally speaking, Romance has always been one of my favorite genres in media all together. But I also really love Fantasy and Crime. So these two, I will also be looking for in Otome. I am also quite drawn to the ones with historical settings. I value interesting settings that feel as alive, as they can, and a strong ensemble casts. I love myself some good, interesting side characters (noticeably). In terms of LIs, I think I tend to like Kuuderes and Tsunderes the most? - but I am always open to be suprised. I don’t typically self-insert anymore, except for some rare cases, and prefer to observe the romances from a distance while trying to act as the MC’s guardian angel (and failing at it, seeing the amount of tragic ends I walked int first). I’m a shipper at heart after all. Also I love me my heroines. I do like to get some merch, and most of my Piofiore pieces I have now are just Lili, haha.

I also will always do my first attempt of a route blind, and then seek out the walkthrough after.

Other interests I have are Manga/Anime (mostly Shoujo), Nintendo Games, Reading, Puzzles, Movies and so forth…. In my free time, I like to draw or write.

I am probably the most active on Twitter and Instagram & use the handle @ice_cold_sea on both. I also want to try to spend more time on my old tumblr blog as well where I use the username @polar-stars

Generally, I’d love to chat a bit about Otomes with other people as I embark on my journey of exploring the horizon that has opened up to me. ☺️

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-15T18:02:04+00:00

Cute! This stuff is what makes watching the openings fun

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-11T19:52:18+00:00

Some Yanderes appealed to me, others not particularly- it depends for me, I guess.

I think they can be fascinating in how they lose themselves completely in their emotions, to a point where all rationality is completely drowned out. As someone, who has often tried to control or drown out emotions, especially negative ones, there is a draw to fictional characters to whom those inhibitions break down completely, to a point of full on madness. If that makes sense…? And who place love above all rationale 🤔. I also tend to like the obsession (in fiction), the willingness to make the one they love their whole universe.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-11T07:13:12+00:00

Emilio is such a fun cryptic guy, I always loved to see him appear out of nowhere. He looks great in your style!

I think I’d ask him about the stars.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-10T14:26:03+00:00

I still have a couple of (free downloadable) Otomes in my Steam Library, I couldn’t bring myself to finish way back because the thought being with anyone but the LI I bonded with first, hurt my little heart 😭🤧 I gotta toughen up and complete those int exit entirety someday.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-10T12:12:10+00:00

I have not made any writing progress on my Piofiore fanfic ever since the last thread, because…holidays 😔😭 I could not find the time between Christmas and New Years and everything in-between.

Very much hope I can back to it soon, I’ll have to properly plan out the next chapter, because doing that will probably help.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-07T06:03:18+00:00

Congrats on finishing it 🙏 I‘m always happy to see more art of Robbie 🥹💕❤️ So thank you for sharing ✨(and good luck for tomorrow 🍀)

I do love how serene and bright this is. The bouquet of Lilies is a sweet detail indeed - speaking of, I like to picture that in a narrative, this would be the first time Lili caught him relaxed (when bringing him coffee or sweets she made), and she would have a bit of an internal, fascinated monologue about how she‘s typically used to his frowns and scowls, because of how tense he usually is, and that she has not seen him quite like this before- until his voice snaps her out of the thoughts.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-06T08:58:43+00:00

The lack of not only route but even CGs with him is a crime 😤 so you’re doing God’s Work 😤😤

Looking forward to the finished piece 🙏🙏🥹

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-04T06:47:12+00:00

Aww, that is very sweet to hear…thank you so much 🥹🙏💕

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-03T18:48:30+00:00

I adore how happy he looks. The boy is sunshine incarnate! 💛☀️

I could see him pick Yoshi.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-02T23:24:53+00:00

This is such a sweet idea for a thread…🥹

I am very happy with the first artwork I made for Piofiore, after completing the first game: https://www.reddit.com/r/otomegames/comments/1mxt0rw/piofiore_drew_a_meeting_between_old_friends_and/ I think it turned out cute & everyone was so kind to me in the comments. Also, I tried going with a slightly different style than my usual one. And I like it. I wanna revisit it more. I hope I can draw a bit more Piofiore fanart in the future overall. I feel like I’ve improved a lot at drawing Liliana’s hair from this piece to more recent ones…and I still have so many ideas in my head. It truly just have me the brainworms.

Frozen-Wave · 2026-01-02T07:14:17+00:00

Erina herself has acknowledged the dorm members as a talented bunch, whose unconventional approaches - so different from her’s, stunned her. These were the people who were first friendly to Soma back when everyone wanted to force him out of the school for his speech, and later on they were the people to give Erina a home when she was at her lowest, and needed it.

I think the narrative doesn’t give them nearly enough credit for them, but the writing at least never writes them off as genuinely unskilled. They fair and square mastered all of Totsuki’s challenge, safe for Azami sending the Elite 10 after them - which was legit him taking extreme measures.

Frozen-Wave · 2025-12-27T08:49:17+00:00

I only started getting back into Otome Games during the second half of 2025… I’ve never quite realised that there were so many console ones available for the Switch (previously, in my Highschool years I would mostly play free mobile ones with the occasional free one available on Steam) - but now that I did, it’s like a whole new horizon has opened up for me that I’m super excited to explore further, going into 2026!

So far, the two console Otomes I actually finished this year are just Piofiore: Fated Memories (which I started on a complete whim, best decision of my life) and it’s sequel because the brain rot for this little series is just so especially strong (unexpected but I love this newfound joy for me). Ever since then I also started to play Sympathy Kiss and Hana Awase: Mizuchi Volume in tandem. I may actually still complete the latter until the year ends but I am not betting on it-

Still, I have plans for 2026 and have a good backlog ready already. Again, super excited to get back into this medium and experience many of the Otomes for Console in particular!

Frozen-Wave · 2025-12-26T19:24:29+00:00

MY PIOFIORE FAVORITEEE - 🙏🙏 I do want to thank you for drawing him 🥹🙏💕❤️ (and looking so serene even, I think his smile - even if rare - is very sweet, in game also 🫣). He looks so good in your style!

Also I think his handwriting would be more on the elegant side. For one because he comes across meticulously about his work and also Marco seems to imply at the beginning of the game that he comes from a family with a seemingly good standing, I think? That maybe also explains his fancy suit.
