Hi there!

I just wanted to let everyone know I've created a Ko-fi for this website, englishotomegames.net.

I've been running English Otome Games for 13 years now, and strive to create and maintain a website where otome and joseimuke / female oriented games are easily accessible. Money from Ko-fi will cover domain name expenses, and allow me the time to research and add more games, as well as add features and functionality to the site.

There's absolutely no pressure to donate; please only do so if you want to and are able. Thank you for your continued support over all these years! Looking forward to many more.

FRAGARIA MEMORIES: RED BOUQUET

We've finally been introduced to all of the characters and I've decided to just compile them here! HUGE shoutout to my senpai in uni who helped me with ALL of these

I'm VERY curious about everyone's faves from this Bouquet, please tell me in the tags! Mine are Merold and Sanah.

TERMS FOR SHARING THIS TRANSLATION BELOW

I figured I should let everyone know what you can do with my translations!

CAN I SHARE YOUR TRANSLATIONS OUTSIDE OF TUMBLR? Absolutely you can! If you want them on Twitter, I already post there, so an RT would be appreciated.

If you want to use them in a Wiki you are free to do so as well! You can also repost these images anywhere you want, because I genuinely believe resources are to be shared without concerns. In fact, if any fan resources project for Fragaria Memories comes up, it would be my pleasure to actively participate!

I just really really hope to be credited and linked back to my other social media because this is hard work! And my first time really doing it! If you see any reposting of this work without credits and could please notify them of my identity I would appreciate it. I don't like taking stuff down but it would make me happy to be recognized!

Hoping to do a translation blog, RB these posts there and continue from Blue Bouquet onwards over there, so I hope to still have your support!

After making a cotton doll concept of Q before, I thought why not give it another go with fursuiter Diend guy AKA Shizuru this time?

even as a fan of a lot of things with mostly male casts, it really bugs me when so many female fans of these said things develop internalized misogyny and hate on the one-two female characters that appear 💔 yall love to praise men so much and continue enforcing the damn patriarchy we were fighting AGAINST by being misogynystic and mad that 1. said female character will 'steal' ur men or 2. she'll 'get in the way' of gay relationships. (always when NEITHER of these things apply to the female character and she literally just wants to exist)

I am obsessed with the cats in this game.

These descriptions are killing me:

Powerful feelings, intimacy and sex in Joseimuke anime

Sex is a part of many people’s lives, yet the way that it’s depicted in media often offers a very narrow view of it—and often presumes a certain set of audience expectations and desires when choosing what to depict and how.  Heteronormative porn particularly has a controlling share of representations of sex, depicting it as a predictable story, one that’s often violent towards women and usually ends with men’s orgasms. Foreplay, kissing, comfort, and even conversation are shelved so we can get to a guy’s big sensational finish. The way sex is represented in media can be one-note, draining all the eroticism from the experience. If we want exciting variations on the representation of sex in media, it seems to me that joseimuke (media intended for a female audience) anime are optimal mediums for representing the erotic aspects of sex. 

For a long time, I’ve sought out joseimuke anime because they steep in feelings that other media don’t always devote attention to, a tendency that Berserk creator Miura Kentaro once described as “powerfully expressing every feeling.” His words echo those of legendary feminist philosopher Audre Lorde, who distinguished between the pornographic and what she termed “the erotic.” Where pornography “emphasizes sensation without feeling,” she describes the erotic as “what we do; it is a question of how acutely and fully we feel in the doing.” In other words, porn tends to be all about the spectacular orgasm, while the erotic is about the entire experience and more, the depth and range of emotions we feel, and how keenly aware we are of our full sensorium. Joseimuke anime are powerful expressions of every feeling, felt to their fullest. What’s more erotic than diving deep into the ocean of sensations and emotions of the human experience?

To explore this a little, I’ve chosen first-time sexual encounters from three joseimuke anime: His and Her Circumstances (aka Kare Kano), Paradise Kiss, and Fire in his Fingertips. Each one depicts a different dimension to sex: the emotional connection, the awkward reality, and the physical pleasure, respectively. This variety in narratives counters the near-monopoly that pornography targeted at men have on collective understandings of sex. Joseimuke anime, erotic or otherwise, show sex as a nuanced, erotic experience, capturing the humanity therein.

5 years...

The more I think about Obey Me as a whole, the more I start to feel happy, sad, and disappointed.

I'm happy because despite it's flaws, I had a fun time with the game. I liked the characters and really enjoyed them. Lucifer will always be #1.

I'm sad because after the announcement of no updates for the app, it means that we won't get to see more stories.

I'm disappointed because Solmare did not handle this title that well in it's later years and became greedy after Nightbringer was released. No, we did not need another app to continue the story. Not to mention the writing has gone downhill as well as making the characters one-note in later seasons.

I don't really know how to feel at the moment.

I just read that someone is actively working on an English translation of Magical Deathpair chapter 2!

They are just busy and it takes a while.

As long as it's not abandoned I'm happy 🥹

✨Novo Blog✨

Oláaaa! Seja bem-vinda(o) ao meu cantinho ✨

Meu nome é Lya, e este blog é dedicado a uma das minhas maiores paixões: jogos otome (e joseimuke tbem)

Aqui você vai encontrar recomendações, apresentações de títulos, e até algumas traduções não oficiais — tanto do inglês quanto direto do japonês — de jogos que merecem mais amor e visibilidade. Além disso, pretendo trazer as minhas opiniões pessoais, rotas favoritas (e as que me deixaram no chão emocionalmente), além de reflexões sobre personagens, enredos e tudo mais.

Mas este espaço vai além dos otomes. Quero compartilhar também sobre músicas, livros e quem sabe musicais, filmes e séries

Uma das minhas maiores vontades com este blog é poder apresentar jogos otome que ainda são pouco conhecidos no Brasil, muitas vezes por conta das barreiras de linguagem ou da falta de divulgação. Conforme eu mesma vou descobrindo novos títulos — seja por acaso, por indicação ou fuçando nos cantos escondidos da internet — quero compartilhar essas descobertas por aqui. Quem sabe, assim, mais pessoas possam se encantar com essas histórias incríveis que ainda não receberam o destaque que merecem.

Se você também ama suspirar por personagens 2D, analisar roteiros emocionantes ou simplesmente descobrir novos mundos, espero que se sinta em casa por aqui 💕

Kind of funny when you think about the "origin" of the isekai genre. Escaflowne, Fushigi Yugi, 12 kingdoms, Inuyasha, etc... Back then the "MC transported to a different world" was a genre aimed at girls

Now it’s associated with male escapism, big tiddy elves, power fantasy,etc.

Important Announcement

EDIT: the date of the eos is actually nov 19th, not 29th like i mistakenly wrote😭 i apologise for the misunderstanding🙏

Hello everyone!

Though I hoped the day would never come, here I am. As some of you may know, as of today, the Yumekuro team has announced end of service, and the game will go offline on November 19th 2024. After such date, they will release an offline version of the game for us to view illustrations and read stories, although many functions (like dates/odekake) won't be available anymore. For further details, I suggest everyone checks their official twitter account.

Now, where does this leave my blog? I will try to translate as much content as I can, because i believe that archiving and preserving content that could easily vanish off the internet without trace is really important. Although these are my intentions, considering the way uni is starting soon and how it can be an extremely taxing job, I'm not sure I'll be able to fully upkeep this goal. Regardless, I will give it a try.

Thank you so much for having given this game a try, everyone!

FRAGARIA MEMORIES: BLACK BOUQUET | BLUE BOUQUET | RED BOUQUET

Hey guys! It's been quite a bit of time, all the characters have been released and we even got some information on the project and a song + MV! I apologize for my abscence, but life got very much in the way and I couldn't finish these soon.

I'm sure everyone has already seen the other wonderful translations, but I hate leaving things unfinished, so I'm posting these anyway!

I've had help from my senpai again, but I'm happy to see my growth when it comes to the number of corrections they've had to make! I thank them for their endless patience with me.

The illustrators have made fanart again! There's fanart for Chaco, Tuxam, Hangyon and Pikero
