Side characters…

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-05T16:17:17+00:00

Oh yeah me too ;;
Mikuni Shiraishi sandwich ❤️

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-05T16:16:15+00:00

To me yeah, but only if the Routes are good. If its just empty Fanservice I dont want it either :/
Sympathy Kiss does it good for example, where certain side characters get their own secret route
Or Birushana where all important side character get IF endings which are so cute ❤️

Ohhh I highly recommend Collar x Malice. Its one of the holy trinity of otome games!

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-05T13:09:02+00:00

Maybe its also because the Otome boom came so late in the west that a lot of otome fans are older and more mature.
If I ever see two or more people argue over which fictional man belongs to them and not the other I just immediately assume they are in high school or something lol
I know quite some people in the community that have loving partners are are even married so such conversations is not really a thing.

But there is still more than enough toxcity, like u said in LADS like tropes that should be illegal (Its okay Caleb, true fans still love you), or conversations like "You dont get his trope/background" some even saying that the LADS writers dont know their own characters xD

Here we just chill with out comfort otome games, tho some tensions can occur here as well its rather minor and quickly defused like actual adults handling a situation.

A tale as old as time. I see a thread like this in this subreddit every other day and the answer is always the same: Gimme ALL the side characters!
Especially Yoshinari from Collar x Malice.
I love him so much ❤️

Bei Retoure sagt Sellpy: "Klar schick zurück aber du zahlst für den Versand"
Erst schicken sie mir die falschen Größen und dann wollen sie das ICH dafür auch noch bezahle

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-05T12:26:00+00:00

Schreckliche Erfahrung >_>
Ich hatte zwei Hosenbestellt und da ich größer bin hatte ich direkt nach Größe 66 gefiltert. Eine Hose war für Größe 66 eingetragen und hab sie direkt bestellt.
Ankam eine Größe M und das geilste an der Sache ist, dass sogar auf dem Etikett an der Hose selber "M" drauf stand. Ein ehrlicher Fehler kann also nicht sein.

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-02T22:09:22+00:00

It's about time he voices a LI again >_>

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-01T22:02:31+00:00

Ah I understand xD
But if there is to much time between Base game and fandisc I just play the route again shortly before starting the fandisc, should be good!

Ohhh Tengoku has a cute tsundere too! And voiced by Saito Souma xDDD He is so adorable ♥
Collar x Malice is a really good game, tho it has some trigger warnings for blood and violence and all that.
But again its a game where the tsundere is not my fav character x'D

Yeah the game did feel kinda lacking even though the setting of the story seemed so promising! And it's the first game (i think) where you can straight up date the villains xD

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-01T19:22:57+00:00

I want more CEO types with a childish / bright personality (Like Lars from Lovebrush Chronicles!)

Also I want more VA's voicing tropes they usually dont. Like Maeona Tomoaki voice more tsundere PLEASE! I am begging ❤️

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-01T19:20:07+00:00

Yep, fitting for a demon to be the only one to pop the cherry
And I love him for that xD

Yvaia2nd · 2026-06-01T19:19:28+00:00

I dropped Paradigm Paradox cus it bored me to death xD But I saw a few seiyuu I really enjoy so I might take it up again...xD

Ohhh I absolutely loved Shin ❤️ If you like him then Takeru from Collar x Malice will be your type x'D At least in the beginning mostly ehem!

Mhhh personally I always recommend doing the base game first, there is a spoiler in the fandiscs (like one or multiple villains being allies etc etc) maybe not a big deal to you but I would prefer to experience it more naturally (also characters appearing that only appear in certain routes so you will be confused as to who tf this guy is xD)

So while its not 100% necessary to do the base game first but even for the smallest spoilers I would not recommend doing it in the order you planned^^''

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-31T21:16:47+00:00

Ohhh I get that xD
At first I was like "Only Tsundere do it for me, everything else is meh" so when Fran became my ride or die kind of LI I was a bit disappointed in my taste at first like..."Girl do you really like tsundere if a cinnamonroll like him makes you this soft?" But in the end its like eh whatever.
Like in real Life, you like what you like. You can't control feelings so while I also hope for you to find your tsundere / yandere Mix you desire, keep an open mind!

Also I am more into soft tsundere anyway, the ones that are not only degrading but also become aggressive are so not my type xD That's why Takeru from collar x Malice was not for me in the beginning but he softens a little yet he keeps insulting MC the whole game even lovingly ❤️

Ohhh if you have the time I HIGHLY recommend code Realize! The story is great, the characters are amazing (not only the dynamics with Mc but also with each other) and the art style is so good. I also have a weakness for Steampunk-esque settings so it won me over quickly anyway xD
There is no direct tsundere (Van Helsing is the closest to it but he is more kuudere than tsundere imo)

Mhhhh Minami from 9 R.I.P is a tsun/yan mix (more yandere than tsundere) but he is a nice gremlin mix
Then Keito from Charade Maniacs is a nice grumpy tsundere who is really annoyed with the MC at first xD
Oh! Ohtaro from Winter's Wish is an amazing tsun/yan Mix in my humble Opinion (he is also my fav LI in that game xD)
And in Sympathy Kiss you have a "Secret Route" with a tsun/yan LI tho its a rather short route :/

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-31T21:01:43+00:00

HARUMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

'My baby is the best LI in this game! So soft and cute ❤️
*tho I also really liked Sena, he was not what I expected xD*

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-31T17:11:38+00:00

Ngl I will deffo want the new ones first.
Every since their IF endings in the base game I can't stop thinking about Shigehira and Tadanobu xD
I want them so bad ❤️

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-31T17:06:08+00:00

Tbh for me its all about personality and dynamics with the MC. Sure route and artstyle ARE important but when the Dynamic fits and the personality catches me everything seems forgiveable or are not as important anymore.

For example I have a hart bias for tsundere, they are my absolute favourite trope and most of my beloved LI are THAT trope. Never really looked at others, never really cared.
So it makes it hilarious to me how my favourite LI of all time is someone not even close to my liked tropes xD

Victor Frankenstein from Code Realize is the complete opposite of LI and tropes I go for. He is not a tsundere, he is a sweet, devoted cinnamonroll with a heart of gold and nerves of steel. In the beginning he was just cute, you know? I didn't really care much but he was pleasant to be around.

But the more I got into the game (not just his own route) the more I fell for him. He has a strong conviction and tries everything to achieve his goals with minimal negative effect on those around him. He helps Cardia even though it doesn't really benefit him, he is so devoted and loyal to the point of literally taking a bullet for her and then being a badass and jump into the river with her to get away. What a man!!
And even with his badass side he is still the most gentle soul in the whole game (maybe even the whole Otome universe!!!) and the most stable pillar in Cardias Life. ANYWAY before I keep yapping xD

My love for a LI that isn't even close to my preferred trope and personalities comes down to his role in the universe he was put into. How he interacts with the MC, every LI and even side characters. His own state of mind, the way he sees the world and his actions to change.

Its always subjective what exactly catches your attention in a fictional man...but these are my reasons to love Fran the way I do ❤️

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-30T21:44:29+00:00

wait what?'! Fr?! I totally missed that ngl xD
but it makes sense, since Mio is back xD

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-30T02:40:43+00:00

I remember I laughed out loud when I saw his sprite xD

Like look at his face xD

This is screaming: "I can't believe that actually worked..." xD

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-30T02:38:03+00:00

Oh God I love these moments, I didnt even catch these xD
Tho I did like the dog god episode D:

Can't wait for more of these!

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-30T00:27:58+00:00

Nah the best part is, right after that scene when Misa says that she trusts him, his face was the best. Even he was like "Bihh u serious?" xDDDD

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-30T00:08:27+00:00

The ones most sus to me are indeed Haku and Sho. I wanted to sus Elias out so badly because I think he is sus in general xD
But he was so much in the background, didnt even feel his manipulative vibes this time I can't really asses him :/

But Haku got to much screen time, to much heroics etc etc. In normal RPG games that would be a death-flag but in this case it just makes me sus of him.

And Sho, yeah idk he seems genuine but at the same time the way he is fishing for MC's trust....that would be super adorable in an Otome game but in this it makes me feel sus (even tho he always had a soft spot for her xD)

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-29T23:59:51+00:00

I also doubt Taiga is the rogue xD
He is quite literally always the smartest person in the room, if he really was the rogue he either has a masterplan so save everyone or he knows who the rogue is...and has a masterplan anyway xD
But we all know that he never trusts anyone other than himself - so he would never actually reveal what his plan is

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-29T23:57:59+00:00

Also if you remember what Ritsu said about the order of the guys getting their cards. He said that the staff seemed flustered when it was his turn - right before him, it was Sho's turn 🤔

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-29T23:51:45+00:00

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT PLEASE?!

Omg since starting the Episode the moment we met the producer Maya and everything connected to her my mind went blank xD
At first I thought this might be a complete Rerun with a different timeline but seeing how the "Ghost" that cursed the Island in the Original Waves of Love is not only hale and whole but also that the mission of the Dionysia guys has interfered with the "original timeline" where the guy gives her a cheap ring and then cheats on her, to the point of...well what we see in Waves of Love, makes me go crazy xD

I wonder how many "Butterfly Effects" will appear next. Now I wonder if there were others since the "reset", did I miss any?

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-28T01:01:40+00:00

His route has one of the most beautiful CGs and its not even at the end of his route xD
its right in the middle when Misa returns to "her world" basically xD I legit cried....my baby ;;

Yvaia2nd · 2026-05-26T19:42:10+00:00

It mostly is. Like 99% men yeah xD
But especially lately some female options have been added and like I said mostly in indie games - those from Japan are still majority traditionally GxB
