Butterfly’s Poison; Blood Chains (Chou no Doku) Part 6 - Majima Route & Overall Review

I've been wanting to do Majima's route since I first started this game, and I'm still excited for it or maybe even more excited now that we know him better. I still love the innocent and kind him but I'm also curious about the depth of his hatred and the love he has for Yuriko. Ohh how interesting...because Yuriko confessed to Majima, he called off the plan to murder her father and everything? I have to admit though, that dance with Shiba was nice, he may be crude but he's so blunt, I love it lol. It's interesting to see how her parents reacted to Shiba's proposal while they're alive and healthy. Yuriko is really relentless and brave to tell Majima again that the one she likes is him and that's why she doesn't want to get married. Knowing the reasons as to why Majima is pushing her away hurts but it can't be helped. I love Yuriko, she's so relentless, but I honestly don't blame her for not giving up, how could she when Majima told her that he does like her but their social status is just too different and there will be too many problems to overcome? Of course she's going to find a way for it to work out haha. Lmao, Yuriko is so cute, she just found a random cafe and asked them to hire them, and then when they were suspicious, she was like I'm not going home until you hire me, this girl hahahaha! I actually didn't expect her to really run away from home and live with all the other waitresses and start a life here though, like wow girl, she's really determined! Definitely admire her, that's very brave. I'm so glad she met such kind people though, the outside world is tough so it makes me happy to see her thrive as a waitress and actually enjoy her life more than being an aristocrat. It was very sweet to see how understanding everyone at the cafe was when she left with Majima, they really are very very kind. I loved it when Majima appeared to save her and take her home though.

I was wondering why Majima took so long to find her, but it was mainly because he was observing her wondering what her purpose for being a waitress was haha. LMAO when Majima said he can't be her gardener anymore and that's he's going to quit and Yuriko was like since Majima doesn't want to be with her anymore, she's going to go to a nunnery😂 I'm happy that Majima and Yuriko left the manor together but I wanted more confrontation with the parents haha. Oh wow, Yuriko's father personally killed Majima's parents right in front of him and even slashed Majima as well, he just survived because his mother protected him. I see... Majima's biological father saved him and swept everything under the rug so he hates his real parents and Yuriko's father, he hates all of them for erasing the existence of the parents who loved and cared for him and sacrificed their lives for him whilst the ones who gave birth to him protected themselves and their sin so he wanted revenge against them all. Although I really like Majima, opium is a terrifying drug and if I had to say one thing I can't forgive about Majima is how involved he is in spreading opium and ruining people's lives. I always wondered why Majima took so long to carry out his plan since he's been at the household since Yuriko was a teenager, but it seemed like he enjoyed being with Yuriko much more than I thought. He loved her much more than I thought. He knew she was his sister but still fell in love with her at first sight. He chose her birthday party because he hated the idea of her getting married to another man so he wanted to ruin everything. I like their peaceful life, I really do, but I'm still kinda sad that Yuriko never found out that he's her brother and her parents never got to have a bit more of a reaction to everything considering how big of a deal it all was? I mean, I still loved the romance and everything, and I understand Majima wants to keep her innocent and pure forever without knowing everything but..I feel like trash for saying this but I wanted them to fall down together knowing the weight of their choices. Maybe I'll get more in the extra story?

Majima's tragic endings break my heart. Considering that I wanted to pick the "take me with you" option, glad to know that it meant Yuriko would go to Shanghai and forever be Majima's little sister and not her lover as she helped him with his business like his second in command. But I think the other tragic ending was worse because not only did Yuriko suffer so much mentally having killed Saburo to protect herself, but having everyone around her dead or disappear so she had no one but Majima to rely on, so he tortured her by making her sell herself. In the end, he achieved what he set out to do in this ending, but seeing him glad that he achieved it but at the same time feel tormented because he loves Yuriko really hurts my heart. I think Majima's VA really conveyed that pain well because every time I heard how distressed he was, it really felt like I could feel his pain.

The extras are hilarious LMAO. The birthday one where Majima asks Mizuhito which route we're on😂😂 and Mizuhito pretending to be Yuriko happy at his flower arrangement hahaha. The Fujita Special cake sounds very sweet but interesting hahahaa, I need a cake with all those flavours! Lmaooo at Hideo getting influenced by Majima and thinking that Yuriko is going to cook the rare sparrow he's giving Yuriko for her birthday present since she's more about food than romance, and then telling the bird to prepare itself hahahaha. HAHAHA at Shiba's gift, the clock with his voice telling her the time and saying he'll be thinking about her has me dead, definitely a terrible gift😂 Awww Majima turning the trees in the garden to say happy birthday is so cuteee, lmao at Mizuhito saying the garden isn't his🤣 I died when Majima muttered that it's going to get burned later anyway, this guy, technically the whole manor burns down loll😂😂 Majima the Gardener route hahaha. The Butler chapter was so funny too! A clumsy Mizuhito that can't hold anything heavier than chopsticks because he's a recluse lolll, and Majima calling Kyoko a shameless crone for wanting to be served properly welcomed home hahahaha. I loveeee how it jokes about everyone's weird fetishes in their respective endings hahaha, Mizuhito's paintbrush one is certainly one I would have liked to read in the 18+ version of the game hahaha. Majima and his burning down the manor joke kills me every time because it's not even a joke😂 Mizuhito dying in most endings, and Fujita making a dig at Shiba for getting to marry Yuriko but always having a terrible life because she cheats on him or tries to kill him is so funny. I love the fireworks with the thank you very much haha. Legit died when Majima told Saburo to burn down the manor hahaha. Kyoko in Fujita's body is something I never knew I needed, the ohoho killed me hahaha. LMAO when they said Mizuhito's body is infested with STDs😂😂😂 I died when Mizuhito tried to take Hideo's body to the red light district to experience losing his virginity again, the nerve of this guy lmao, I couldn't help but LOL when Hideo was like a cute girl saying he wants his first time to be in a room with a view of the sea😂😂😂😂 The escape passage has an elevator too, I'm dead😂😂😂 I agree with Majima, what kind of house is this hahahaha. I really didn't expect this epilogue sorta thing to be so funny but I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it!

Overall Review

Personally, I really loved Chou no Doku. It was short but just the right length because it never overstayed its welcome. It set out what it wanted to do and show and achieved it. I really wanted to read something depraved and a forbidden romance and I think it really delivered in all different aspects. It has incest amongst other issues such as SA but I loved how it never shied away from scandalous topics, questionable actions and depraved behaviour. My favourite routes would definitely be from most liked to least liked Hideo, Majima, Shiba, Fujita, Mizuhito and then Kyoko if we can count her haha. I loved how pure Hideo's love was and all the obstacles they had to get through for their love to blossom the most. I enjoyed discovering the depth of Shiba's love and how much he was willing to overlook as long as Yuriko was with him. I loved having a more passive guy like Fujita who was gentle and followed the lead and strength of Yuriko. I loved Majima for both his evil and kind side because they both made sense and I couldn't help but love both sides of him as much as he struggled with his revenge and his love for Yuriko. Mizuhito's route didn't hit me as much as I would have liked sadly and Kyoko is creepy but hot LOL. The game isn't very long but I think it really showcased every guy and their love well along with the different Yurikos depending on who she is dealing with. I liked how bratty she was with Fujita but also loved how witty she was with Shiba, but also enjoyed how sincerely she chased after Majima. I definitely recommend this game as long as you're fine with the TWs because I really enjoyed the variety of tragic endings that gave a lot of life and character to each LI as well as Yuriko. It definitely satisfied my itch for a read that is less pure and more depraved hahaha!

something that annoys me so much abt the localisation of otome games is that they always cut out the best/most important parts bcuz the west cannot handle them. like. yes you're right white ppl freak tf out over anything. but I'm still sooo annoyed that they just?? cut out important parts of the story?? like with caleb lads and the whole adopted brother thing. is that not.. a very large part of his and the MC's relationship? or with like. the entirety of Chou no doku eng being censored despite the fact that the fucked up endings made the game unique. sighhh western fandoms need to grow thicker skin for real..

[qunqayk]

Not the music when Mizuhito talks about Kyoto being bisexual 💀💀💀

Also, coming from him it's crazy jsjsjs

[cosmicangst]

thinking some jm thoughts w calebs trailer release... my lads hot take is that while there are nuances to be had w how we label our seniors in a non-western context (the same way in tagalog how "kuya" can be used for older brothers or a non-related male older than you) and how translation loses this context the devs absolutely knew what they were doing or at least knew the implications in the ambiguity of caleb and mc's dynamic. being wards of the same guardian were they raised like siblings like the batboys from dc or were they strictly childhood friends, or a weird mix of both? there can be grays here

just from my perspective having played otoge for more than a decade theres a niche but consequential demographic of players who find appeal in dabbling w themes of (pseudo)incest and it does pop up frequently enough in a lot of games for it to be something worth of note. infold concretized (at least in the localization as far as im aware) by using "childhood friend" in the marketing but that initial ambiguity is being played with purposely

I deleted all my facebook accounts, so I'll put my pics n screens here on tumblr now to have everything gathered somewhere (and/or sorted) 🥴

Butterfly’s Poison; Blood Chains (Chou no Doku) Part 3 - Hideo Ozaki Route

I'm quite interested in Hideo tbh, because he genuinely cares for Yuriko but it also feels like he hates her to an extent so I want to see if he'll still be a jerk lol. OH, Hideo already has a fiancee..I guess we might get a Yuriko is the mistress tragic end?🥲 I can see why Hideo's family would want to find a girl from an even more prestigious family than Yuriko's because Yuriko's mother looked down on them for thinking they could get Hideo and Yuriko to marry. I quite like how they talked about the 'what if' scenario of if Yuriko's mother wasn't against Hideo and Yuriko getting married. Hideo was definitely happy when Yuriko said they would be happy. It's actually kinda funny how Shiba has already noticed that Yuriko is a bit jealous and curious about Hideo's fiancee and teases Yuriko about it lol. It's quite amusing how everyone can tell how much Hideo and Yuriko want to be with each other except themselves lol. Honestly, they say such embarrassing things that would basically mean 'I like you' but they're so oblivious to it. But I guess more than obliviousness, they choose to believe that it shouldn't be love because they both have their circumstances that would make it too difficult if they do decide that they like each other and want to be together. I really enjoyed their night walk though, it felt sweet to see two childhood friends so honestly talk about how they felt like they've drifted apart but that even though they've grown older, they haven't really changed at heart. Hideo visiting her frequently to check on her after her mother passed away was really sweet of him, he's so considerate.

Such a happy and talkative Hideo at the zoo lol! He's actually so adorable when he's talking about animals, I didn't expect that haha. Honestly, even though I'm as happy as Yuriko is that Hideo is always inviting her out, I am also worried about the fiancee thing considering he's been going to Yuriko's house lately and is now going out with her to the zoo and an opera too, people would definitely misunderstand. Hideo holding her hand in the crowd to make sure she's okay was so unexpected but cute. Ughhh I hate how their date got ruined, I didn't want them to face reality yet and not in this way that could affect Hideo's military career either. But I'm still really happy that Hideo prioritised protecting Yuriko above everything else. Hideo so genuinely laughing at Yuriko asking him whether he still wants to fly in the sky like a bird because he said he wanted to be a bird when he was a child is so adorableee. Yuriko really was a wild child lol, untying her obi sash to use as a rope to save Hideo when he fell into the water chasing after birds is just such a hilarious scene to imagine. Awww Hideo and Yuriko taking that awkward photo by the river was super cute! It's probably going to bite them in the ass later but I don't even care because they're so innocent and sweet, how can we not support their love?! They should run away together like Yuriko said in the beginning lol.

My heart broke when Hideo said he volunteered to go to war in Siberia. I understand his reasons, and it's true that it's probably one of the only ways for him to refuse the engagement with a lady from such a prestigious family without shaming his family but I hate it. I absolutely hate it. I love it that Hideo would rather go to war and believe in the off chance that he'll survive and come back and be able to marry Yuriko, showing how much he loves her and refuses to marry anyone besides her. But I'm sorry I can't do it, I'm too weak. If I was Yuriko, I wouldn't be able to bear the idea of the man I love going so far away just so we could possibly be together. I'd rather we separate and he marry someone else. I'd rather he live in sadness than die. I don't want Hideo to die. There's so many ways he could die. He could die on the way there, from the war, from disease and so many other things! I wouldn't want him to go even if it was in the modern day, let alone the Taisho era! I just wouldn't be able to tolerate the idea of him dying in a foreign place when he didn't need to go. It's just too heartbreaking. I loved how they shared a kiss as they bathed in the sights of the town together, and naturally, they gave themselves to each other before Hideo departed. I hated having to watch them cry at being torn apart and possibly never seeing each other again, but I also really loved how pure their love is for each other with one determined to come back no matter what and the other determined to wait for them no matter what. It's just depressing to think about all the people who have gone through this before and never got their happy endings.

Sawako seems like a great woman and I think Hideo would be happy with her in the other routes where Yuriko is with someone else haha. I think if he got to see the strength she showed Yuriko, he would be able to love her. Hideo defied military orders and came back because he found out about Majima from another officer. It's actually kinda funny though, everyone has someone that recognises Majima in every route, it's like dang Majima, you're really not good at hiding this are you lol. I'm so glad that Hideo is leaving the military, I hope he can pursue his true interests now. Oh wow, he's already been studying birds in his spare time and has already published papers?! Dayum boy! He's already set lol. I'm honestly so happy for them, the ending made me feel so warm, they'll definitely bicker a lot but they'll also cherish each other a lot and thinking about their future makes me super happy for them haha. I was mad on behalf of Yuriko knowing that she always has to follow along with Hideo to discover new birds species in all kinds of places and having to separate from their son, but I guess I'm soft-hearted like Yuriko too, because when he said he can't live without her and can't concentrate when she isn't beside him, I couldn't get mad at him, because we all know how much Hideo loves her and how he's willing to give his life for her, so I really believe him when he says that living apart from Yuriko is like living without air, he really might die lol. I knew the tragic ending would be Hideo dying in Siberia, but thinking about Hideo's wonky writing in his letters as he got more and more exhausted, and the crinkled photo of them by the river being found in his military uniform just made me want to cry. The other tragic ending was honestly tough to read. Knowing how straight-laced Hideo is but having to have an affair in order to be with Yuriko, and he can only meet her once a week, but be forced to face reality every time he sees her bulging stomach and the limitations to their relationship, but still be unable to let it go because he loves her too much, everything just honestly breaks my heart. Seeing Hideo go from angry, happy, sad and just keep going through those rollercoaster of emotions in a short span of time of meeting her just hurts. He knows he's terrible but he can't even stop himself because he hates how he can't be Yuriko's husband no matter what and that's just so painful to watch.

Overall, I really loved Hideo's route, definitely my favourite for now haha. It had everything I wanted for a love restricted by things like social status, responsibility, duty and a strong passion for true love. I've always liked Hideo so I'm happy for him in the best end that they're able to be together even if they got distant because of things outside of their hands. I loved how we slowly got to watch over Hideo and Yuriko go again from awkwardly talking to each other, reminiscing about their past to quite openly showing how much they love and care for each other. I loved how Hideo put in so much effort to visit Yuriko and take her out when her mother passed away, and I loved how they were like childish little lovebirds when they ran away to the river, kissed, had a fight and took a photo showing their desire to marry and be together forever. I hated how Hideo decided to go to war, but I loved that it showed how much he was willing to sacrifice just for the chance to be with Yuriko. It showed the depth of his love for her and how much he didn't want a life that didn't have her as his wife, which is why I can see why the tragic ending tormented him so, especially when he believed that Yuriko didn't try hard enough to be with him and just married Shiba. I loved how they're truly like childhood friends that are unafraid to share exactly what they think with each other but still show how much they care for the other. I really liked their relationship and I thought it was really cute and sweet. I wish I could see more of them haha!
