The thread where I cry over an otome game that will never be translated.

http://s-ojisama.com/index.html

The concept of the game is that when you turned 21, you started experiencing fever and dizziness in the presence of cute older men in uniforms, so now you are trying to build up your stamina by hanging out with cute older men in uniforms.



CUTE



OLDER



MEN



IN UNIFORMS


And it has a dual-wooing system. You can be the typical protag-chan and be passive while the cute older men pursue you, or you can be ACTIVELY HUNTING DOWN THE CUTE OLDER MEN protag-chan and be aggressive with them so you can see them blush and be coy.

There's a bartender, a cop, a doctor, a book publisher, a college professor, and soon they'll be adding a man of undetermined military rank. And they are cute older men in uniforms.

And this game will never be in English.

That is a tragedy. :(

Of course.

I like it when a game doesn't bother to hide under an excuse plot and just goes for it.

I'm heartbroken this will never be translated :(

Did the developers say it will never be released in English? There does seem to be some demand for it to be translated if the reviews on Google play are anything to go by. Not that that will necessarily make a difference, but one can hope, right?

It's so niche that I'd be shocked if they put any effort into translating it.

BRB, learning Japanese.

That is just sad.
Here I was building up an oyaji complex. :(

This, this exists in the world!

...and I can't play it. *tears and despair* ''orz

Seconding this motion.

When has a language barrier EVER stopped me?

DOWNLOADING

EDIT: oh wait i can't because i don't have a tablet well OKAY

Acclimatization therapy? Makes perfect sense to me!

1: What the hell kind of college professor wears a uniform??? Much less a book publisher!

2: I think the severity of the heroine's reaction should be proportional to the outlandishness of the uniform and the age of the man.

FINAL BOSS:

I laughed so hard that I woke up my cat (not an easy feat, I'll have you know).

I'm mostly amused by the description "FINAL BOSS."

In the case of the final one, I do believe the protagonist would swiftly be unmade/blasted away to bits.

Also I about keeled over. The floor is nice and good support. *still twitching and about the same state as Nebty yes'm*
ETA: That is a most glorious picture incidentally and I am quite taken with the illustration on the hat.

I'm done. You win the Internet. Excuse me while I try to go through acclimatization therapy for things I find hilarious.

AW, C'MON. Fan translation? ANYTHING? It's too novel not to enjoy...

We should get everyone to read the Ivan LP/have them play his route to boost up the number of people who would want to play this game. Then someone will HAVE to listen to us and translate it! This is not how reality works.

Oh my, they are quite the handsome old lads. Do want. Para likes anything in a uniform.

My oyajicon self is weeping.

WEEPING.

I don't have enough tears.
JAPAN, WHY. Why are your people so much luckier with games than we are? :(

hoo that sounds like a game I would like too ( maybe related to the fact I'm 35? so real me find perfectly natural to chase guys around 35/40/45. I'm sure some of the "older men" of the game are explicitely stated as younger than me. ^^ ;). Someone here has read the manga Hotaru? well I found the 40 year old boss totally cuter than Hotaru's boyfriend...)
And nice thing, protag has a face!

anyway, second picture has some Harold and Maude vibes...

Hotaru no Hikari?



Takano is so clearly superior it's amazing that the relationship with the younger guy lasted as many volumes as it has. I'm liking recent plot developments, I tell ya.

Just searched up the series and apparently there's a drama of it as well. Debating whether to start watching it or not.

I want to play this. So. Badly.

Link please. >:D

Found the first half of the series! There's a second season, from what the DramaWiki informs me, and I think it should be on that site? If the videos don't play, I guess you could also try DramaFever?

And meanwhile, I wish the Military Man would be available already. Although I'm more than happy with starting with the Policeman. Not that I can play this game, sobs.

I kind of like the Doctor. Though the strict military man is kind of cute. Too bad I don't like the look of the teacher... Not that it MATTERS.

Signed up just to say I've downloaded the game on my android. I'll report back if I see anything interesting.

Yep, Angie, Hotaru no Hikari, I haven't seen the drama, by the way, and read only the 2 first volumes ( cause I was broke when the other were published here) but flirty boss totally wins here again. Lol so much. :D

( I kinda recognize myself as Hotaru by the way, I mean the messy flat I'll clean another day, the " day off? let's skip make up and stay in sportswear the whole time!" attitude.,. I'm quite the dry fish you know ^^; )

Hah, I actually did the himono test that was in the back of one of the volumes. My results:

I'm a potential dried fish.
...Screw you, I like my jersey and lack of makeup and home.

Dried fish or rather squid is particularly delicious. And now I'm hungry.

I scored 12. Now I'm depressed.

yep, congrat's to myself. Same answers (haha, the double sided tape, I've totally done that!) + I've brought home garbage and I wasn't drunk even. And I don't even think is a big matter to be called Dried Fish ( Some called me the Jellyfish at college, after all, cause they considered me weird, so uninteresting, and not a "normal" human being, teenagers are so mean) My! I'm much more Nodame than Hotaru it seems :D

Soooo my woman's time is almost done now. What should I do? turn cougar? turn to girls? :D

Sorry in advance for the rambling. Not only am I not feeling well, I'm one of those nervous newbies, cowering in fear of rejection Or something.

So the game is interesting. The issue right now is navigating the menu that always pops up when I start the game. When I first started the game. I've closed the game a few times by accident. The menu screen I have now opens to my 'target' (the doctor) and has some information on him. I can click a few buttons on the side to see information on his job (and some numbers that I can't figure out), an in-game shop, a gashapon mini game (I think), and something called the "premium collection," which shows each guy, and when you click on them, seems to show you any images you may have collected of them.

Anyway, the game is split into chapters, and it seems that each character has 10 chapters/"stories", plus a main story (though don't quote me on this - I have no knowledge of japanese so I don't know what I'm doing, more so than usual). I'm on the doctor chap. Nothing interesting has happened so far, so I just sped through it. It took about 5 minutes, I guess. Then I unlocked chapter 2.

For anyone else who wants to download the game, it's pretty easy to find on google play. You need to have a device linked to your google account, and then it's rather easy to download. I will admit, I am a bit stupid and though I don't think there's a price for it, you may want to double check.

I'd post pictures, but I have no idea how to do so from my phone.

Okay, so that was very rambly. Sorry. I'll get it together.

I scored a ten.

Well.

This isn't news.

And DAMN I WISH I COULD PLAY THIS GAME but iPhone. Cannot wait until it releases for iPhone. And I was wondering about the price. I haven't seen one anywhere, so I guess it's free? (Also, thank you for informing us, Brimney! Fear not, we're a friendly bunch. You're more than welcomed to join us!)

watch watch watchhhh. I think there's a movie that's set after season 2 as well. :3 All I remember is that it was hilarious and a lot of "HEY I DO THAT. oh wait, that's a bad thing? oops."

Maybe I should read the manga.

Actually, nevermind, I scored twelve if I reword some of the questions to simply mean "I'm too lazy to go out somewhere close-by-ish" for the Narita airport one and if I'm honest about how troublesome answering the quiz is. Well.

The first old man looks like a lot of men I kinda had a crush on since I was fourteen.
And now that he is in a otome game.. I CAN'T HAVE IT.
