[OTOME] Shall we date?: Mononoke Kiss Hajime Route & Review

Shall we date?: Mononoke Kiss

“Shall we date?: Mononoke Kiss” is a novel type dating simulation game, depicting a forbidden romance between a princess (a player) and a mononoke (a handsome humanoid monster). The story starts with a scene in which mononokes attack a castle. All of a sudden a mysterious beautiful man appears in front of the princess and saves her from a danger; they leave the castle to escape from the mononokes. At first the princess feels uneasy about the man, but as they spend time together, she has started to fall for him.

Ok I need to be honest. Half way through I ended up just buying Hajime's full story.
That's how much I liked the two characters together and how much I wanted to see the ending if that explains how I felt when playing the game. (And I can just read it again whenever I want without being online/clearing checkpoints.)

I am still playing the free version though and plan to go through other character route when I finish getting that last checkpoint through but I know the story which makes me want to see the other character routes which I will switch after I complete Hajime.

First off, omg Hajime, did I ever think you'd be a character I like so much. I wasn't sure when I first choose his route because I was attracted in what type of character he would turn out to be. When he teases the heroine I was like huhhh even though he can be super whatever sometimes acting without emotion. But when the heroine teased him back I was like. That's it. I'm sold, get together already! (hence why I bought the full story, too much cute I can't handle by waiting)

::START OF REVIEW:: 

So the story begins where her father is killed by this demon shifting guy who knew of the heroine's mother. The one you choose will come out and save her starting off their story.

However after Hajime saves the heroine he's like you're ok right? alright bye. lol ok. She wouldn't take that of course because she has no one left and is confused with the situation. She chases after Hajime and asks him why he leaving without her. He then agrees to takes care of her by letting her follow along with him.

Shortly after the incident they get rained on and they hide in the cave to dry off. He tells her to take off her clothes and of course she's like wut no you perv. Even though his intentions was to have her dry off, they get a bit of a misunderstanding and she's like leave me alone. Of course, he's like ok and runs off lol. She goes after him again finally settling not having to run off again. (my feeling at this moment was what was this relationship, obviously she's pretty tsun and he's like sure ok! without showing any anger or emotion except when he teases her.)

The cuteness starts when he decided to have her change her kimono because she can't show off she's miss royalty. He pays for a common kimono and she's like I'll pay you back somehow and he was like well you can with your body... Just kidding! (such a tease but it's only starting and I still don't know if he was half joking lol.)

And Hajime later cons some drunks for money so they can have "fun" instead of worrying about the money issue. Causing a fight which Hajime's face gets a cut.

Next up is the scene where they had to share a room together for the night and he stepped up his teasing level by making moves on her. She starts tearing up because she didn't know what to do and he freaks out going I was just joking don't cry. ｡◕‿◕｡ (fffff the panic was adorable, Hajime is suppose to be all pokerface but he is starting to lose his cool around her.) She knows he got injured because of her and tells Hajime not to move to lick his face because she heard it heals wounds (haha) but surprisingly it works! Hajime is shocked that she made a move on him lol and she is like well, you tease me all the time so you got what you deserved~ (she teased him back, at this moment I'm like ugh cuuute) of course he's like tee hee well then I'll remember this. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

He sleeps on the floor for the night as she had the bed. The next morning she wakes up and he's like sleeping on her bed on top of her sheets LOL. Mumbling her name in his sleep. She's flushed and surprised. She questions him when they wake up of why he was mumbling her name in his sleep and he's like what? It's not something you should know and didn't answer her. (lol Hajime) （*/∇＼*）

They went for sweets for food because Hajime and heroine both really love sweets. And of course near her lips was red bean traces after they nommed. Hajime was like fufufu don't move licking it off her LOL. He was like yey delicious revenge causing Heroine to be all flushing and tsuntsun mad at him.

 
Then here comes Jinosuke again (the one who killed her father saying stuff like oh, your life is suppose to be with me I'm here to take you now.) She doesn't remember him well (because she had the hots for Hajime already jk) but when he transforms she remembered he was the one to kill her father. Jinosuke explains how she is actually like him a demon blood and they are destined to have babies. (Hakuoki moment lol except Jinosuke isn't Kazama hot nor that cool /bias) That's why she has the power of healing. Hajime does his best to protect her but gets severely injured and they only escaped on their luck.

 
When they are back in a room for safety Hajime is bleeding all over while suffering the curse fever and she has a hunch that she has the power to heal so she needs to try... So she kisses the injured Hajime multiple times. Until the kissing got numb haha but it worked. She indeed has the power of healing and his fever started to calm down. She wanted to find the best way to heal him right away and he's like well I think I know, but are you willing to do anything to heal me. She's like yes anything!

lol Hajime being able to say it like that ;;;

Saying so, she gets pushed down with him kissing her + undoing her kimono. (what about them injuries? lols) But how she reacted his start up he was wondering if it was her first time and he can tell from her reaction. So~ He stops. And was all tee hee I don't feel like it anymore stopping what he was doing. (wut Hajime lol)

The next day after a resting for the night his injuries got better and she helped him patch up. After a bit of back and forth cuteness he approaches her again with the same type of talk but he tells her how he feels about that type of thing. He won't push her if she isn't ready and she's too Tsun to realize what she really wants of course.

Finally after all these scenes, Hajime remembers oh yeah I was suppose to meet up with my companions and blames the heroine teasingly that she was seducing him so he forgot.  (^～^;)ゞ

After meeting up with the companions (who were all sent to protect the heroine) they learn more about the reasons why Jinosuke were after the heroine and what they can do now. They learned his intentions with wanting the heroine and the blade for the ultimate power which was the heroine's mother's. His companions sorta teased Hajime that it was surprising he was a bit clingy to a girl and it doesn't ever happen haha. (cute)

They traveled together and got to a point where the heroine was alone for just a few moments. She decided to take a bath in the lake of course screaming after she saw some kind of snake in the water. Hajime comes to her rescue right away and it was nothing at all except she's completely nude in front of him.

At this point I can tell Hajime is just holding back lol and the heroine is like deredere for Hajime. Hajime gets a little close to her and they were close to getting serious until the companions called out for them lol! Stopping them. The day gets in her mind on how she really feels about Hajime. She knows she likes him (after all that constant teasing back and forth? yeah just kiss already and be together)

At night she noticed Hajime leaving where they were all resting and walked off alone toward the lake. She follows of course to see what he is doing. She talks to him and he speaks of the night... and then asks her if she would like to continue what they were starting this morning. And of course finally, they actually do it. (FINALLY how many times did you tease already Hajime.) |(￣3￣)|

 ((*ﾉωﾉ)

But the next morning he was like how they first met. Cold and distant breaking heroines heart saying he was a man after all and he can't ever love a human (even tho she's half demon?) and tries to find ways to not be with her. (Hajime's dumb decision ;; just because your a spirit doesn't mean you can't be with her, but I know it's because he wants the better for her to find a human and make babies. but that's not what love is about! He didn't want to drag her to unhappiness.)

After all his futile efforts to make her away from him (from what I know from any relationship the harder you try to distance the more they just keep coming lol) he still would come to her side when she was in danger, but leave her right after trying to make himself look like a irresponsible guardian to her so the other guys can take over. (what makes you think they will give her happiness? lol)

His sad face though poor thing trying to think wrong ways. Yuki tried to assassinate the heroine (because she loves Jinosuke and not just his right hand servant.) Hajime shows his true spirit form. (I was stoned how beautiful his form was.)

♡o｡.(✿ฺ｡ ✿ฺ)

After almost losing her and she still wanted to be with him. He finally resolved his weird feeling of wanting better for her and just being the better for her. (-ε- )

Coming to the climax of the story where they face angst Jinosuke who is all weh your mom choose a human and lost her life. So now you will take her place and be my wife, we were suppose to be together and make babies. (while Yuki is all crying inside going Jinosuke-sama why don't you notice me? but does what he orders her to do when he's there.) (゜-゜)

Hajime doesn't have a lot of power as from his defeat before but still faces Jinosuke. After how much the heroine showed she loves Hajime and Hajime's injuries recovered from her tears giving him more power to be that hottie spirit form to face Jinosuke. Almost at the last blow Yuki blocks Jinosuke because she loves him so much. (making Jinosuke realize he's been an idiot and should've stopped emoing a long time ago with someone who loves him so much.) The heroine uses her tears to bring Yuki back to life causing the resolve between them and Jinosuke finally giving up everything. He disappears with Yuki and the end! 

 Depending on the choices you approach in the game you will reach the two good endings. Sweet and Happy. One is super sweet and cute with the other being sexy times again. Both are very nice endings imo I don't have complaint on them. It's like whether he can hold back a bit or not lol but either ending he loves her very much and won't waiver his emotions again.

 Happy End

Sweet End

::END OF REVIEW::

Alright, talking about all the good stuff through my review I have some things of course I felt are eh in this game.

First off the background choices, NTT needs to work on not using the same backgrounds for the game when I first played I was like wait wasn't this also in Destiny Ninja? lol 

Second, I really didn't like Jinosuke's character and his development with Yuki. It was really bland and slightly annoying. The both of them felt like they were written off just like any other bad guy with a love complex to give the story a plot. I guess I've played too many games and seeing someone so by the book was really boring. His transformation was pretty cool though but his default is as boring as his character. I'm sorry in advance if anyone actually liked him just my opinion~.

Aside from that I actually really wished there was more interactions with your character of choice with some of the companions. It felt weird when they finally got together and only had very small exchanges. In Destiny Ninja and Ninja Love at least there felt more interaction? Not too much of a complaint but would have been nice. (I just want more Hajime story ;~;)

And my complaint toward the free version, why in the world did you decide to make the last checkpoint 14 passes... I know you want people to work for the free one but that is a bit of a drag haha... Ah well.

So from that, everything was really good and I did like the overall plot story. Even though it was a simple idea the development between the heroine and character of choice was done well. I never shipped a couple so hard when I was playing lol. I actually feel some games don't pull off a couple bond well and this one nailed it. I didn't think much of the main girl because she had to be saved at first but as time went (lol bold enough to do reverse teasing) I really liked her. She was also more tsun than I thought she would be haha (and not an idiot all the time)

I highly recommend this game to people who want to play a free otome game with a good story. Even though you have to work a bit to get the endings if you don't want to pay you can get through most of the story. Just give it time, it's actually pretty worth it. And the CGs are gorgeous... (I really hope they do some spinoffs even though it's not likely... fffff Hajimmmeee~)

I will do another post whenever I get to the other guys routes but Hajime will always have a special place in my heart. Cutest couple haha. I'm glad I finished this as I am trying to finish all the other games currently which all have amused me in some way or another. Reviews will be coming for those as soon as I am done.

Thank you for reading in advance. Real reviews will be posted after I finish a route. 

Games by OKKO /  アリスマティック

I've recently started a lot of new games by this company, unsure if they are the same but they translate the same style games. They have a good range of maturity level games. I haven't passed one yet so I can't give my full opinions on their games except I do like it so far. Some more than others.

But for one thing if you play the game and insert the invitation codes you will get bonus in the game right at the start. I listed all my codes so feel free to use! 

Cinderella Contract
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a128
Invitation Code : tAkfrH
Currently just started and getting through the prologue. It's pretty interesting so far, the heroine meets a bunch of princes and well they all catch their interest. So guess who doesn't get to fly back home?
Imo, I can't judge this one just yet since it's early but I feel it'll be similar to Arabian Nights Desert Heat where she will be confined to the palace and forced to marry one of the princes. (your choice)

Mind you how beautiful the art is, it isn't really a sweet prince game lol. In this one they also have the same structure it seems like Starstruck Love where you follow two characters in one route? Except they aren't the main route characters. (Makes me a bit worried how far it will go.)

Oh and btw you will see a lot of the games they tease me with choices I want but don't give. Like this one they obviously they have all the other guys on the cover to choose EXCEPT the one I want. Thanks. Please add the extra routes soon.

For now I am going for The Tempermental Prince becauseofhisfather （/｡＼)
 I'm not into Yandere route if I can choose nor want to deal with another Oresama right now.

Also this game gives the best login in bonus compared to all their other games. If that really matters to you.

Rating : It might be Medium Maturity to Higher.
Interest : GIVE ME ASENA ROUTE I don't want to feel guilty again for going after someone's father.. ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ
Heroine Opinion : She's pretty normal so far?

Contract Marriage
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a82
Invitation Code : FuBhaP

I was expecting this to be more mature than it is but I guess I am glad (I am only speaking from my route experience so far.) It's a bit risky at times but nothing too extreme. I didn't think I'd be interested in the story as much but so far it's actually pretty decent. The main heroine wants to pay off her family's dept, she tries to find a job to pay it off. The man (of your choice) will offer to pay it off under one condition and that is to be contracted married to him (for whatever reason he has)

This one was an easy choice on my end, I choose Shinobu Arima because well I don't want to play weird oresama DO S megane route (I don't favor meganes) and well the other is probably a yandere by what he says...

Shinobu Arima surprisingly as he looks isn't the flirt type so I choose wisely. He has a good story so far and I want to see how it pans out. (He sort of reminds me of Akiyama(Yakuza) for owning nightclub and then loaning the money to heroine, except the fact he isn't like him personality wise just the feel is sorta there haha.)

I'm still working on the route of course but so far it's quite tame with minor teasing. I'm going to say this is probably route dependent. All their games seems to depend on who you choose is what type of situation you get. 

Rating : So far it is indeed Medium Maturity. Unknown if they will go higher. Maybe. 
Interest : I am good so far with my choice his story caught my interest not going to spoil it until I write a review.
Heroine Opinion : She's also pretty normal? She wants to get money for a strong reason but she hasn't shown much personality aside from just being the usual curious girl + no choice in life lol.

 Starstruck Love
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a116
 Invitation Code : KfxSk5
Hahahahahaha. This game. I don't know I was pretty surprised you had to go through double route when you play this one. So far this is a bit risky with what has happened so far in the game but nothing major except everyone in here has some kind of issue.

So heroine moves into the house with these 3 brothers as their new sister because she lost her family. (Brocon moment) She used to be be childhood friends with Toma who totally cold shoulders her now and has a lot of angst. The eldest brother Shion welcomes her with open arms and treats her sweetly. Then comes Ryo who is the only one who wants to already treat her like any other women...

They are all idols though and she will get into the same business as them by the help of their father. And conflict begins with their family + work situation. The total in all for this story so far is interesting it's just. I won't spoil much until the main review but sigh heroine stop being so naive.

I am going for Toma but he doubles up with Shion which is a Yandere. I dunno why I am always stuck with an encounter with them lol. I'm so scared of Yanderes sometimes haha... But I will try my best to continue. Also Ryo is a jerk I can't see myself playing his double route with the other guy (who hardly appears so far). I enjoy the story except the heroine is really dumb sometimes lolll.

Also I think it's trending in their games that if it has another female she will hurt/harm you in some way and you can't do anything about it. (/ﾟДﾟ)/

Rating : Medium Maturity but gets risky especially with RYO. But nothing shocking.
Interest : I want to see if I will love Toma. So far he reminds me of Subaru from Diabolik Lovers. I am just hoping so because lol the childhood friend part throws me off. I'm usually not into that relationship because it gets weird.
Heroine Opinion : She's naive and dumb sometimes, I don't hate her but sometimes I wished she was a bit smarter especially when the guys are very obvious on what they want (except Toma). The oneesan bit while not knowing his true ideals even though mr. butler even warns her of him. (´Д｀)

 Office Lover
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.o17a110
 Invitation Code : vrTPE7
 Haha, this one is pretty fun so far. Not huge on story but pretty interesting on how the character plays out. The character you choose becomes your new boss and you see other women around him. So whether his attempts to you are real or not. It depends on your choices in the game.

I'm going for Kitazawa Omi since the other two are the same reason why I don't choose as usual. So there wasn't many choices so far. It's pretty good so far because he's a bit of a Kuudere? however he attracts a lot of females which is interesting. He slightly reminds me of typical shojo mains though except the "player" part. I think though his story will show how he really is though.

Rating: Medium Maturity is pretty right for this. I don't see it going any higher yet. It seems pretty tame and the story hasn't shown any signs of being extreme. (but it can be different in another route)
Interest: No one in this story is my type but the story is interesting enough for me to keep playing.
Heroine Opinion: She's normal and a bit of a Tsun at times trying to deny the fact she is paying a little too much attention to the boss lol.

Arabian Nights Desert Heat Love
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a118a
 Invitation Code : y2XE6q

 Ok, I enjoy this one so far a lot. Even though the story is slightly awkward on how it begins lol. The heroine delivers a jewel in the place of her friend and was told not to touch it. She ends up catching it when it stumbles out of the box. And it glows, then appears the one you choose to... bring you back to the palace which you will never leave because you will marry the one who will become king. 

I choose Kamil because the other two aren't too striking of the types I'd be interested in. Kamil seems like the flirt type but surprised me by not really. He's more of the dirty types when he likes you lol. But his design is also my favorite a little dark skin and outstanding outlook. (myforeignprincetypes) 

The complexity between the girl and the guy is pretty funny at times but also pretty wrong lol. All the molesting. However Kamil's story started to prove to be promising as he wasn't interested in being king until he met you.

But ugh, stupid jealous girl #2 is in here and that scene... I wished the girl fought back but eh it's no manners to do that. (Iwouldhavenotcared) 

And some of the new side characters coming out trying to seduce the heroine? No thanks please. Don't touch.

Rating: Not Medium Maturity. It has risky scenes so far and I can see this going further. But it won't be like R18. It's just under that with the details and descriptions they gave so far.

Interest: I am growing to like Kamil. The recent scene where he takes the heroine outside for the night was really cute. Need to play more.

Heroine Opinion: She's semi stronger than the majority heroine. (She has an opinion even though she can't fight against the guys LOL at least she tried. Especially in the beginning trying to  go back home.) I hope she stays the way she is though and not become dumb like some heroines when they are locked down.

Arabian Nights Love Story
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.o17a121
Invitation Code : zxzU7G
Another Arabian Nights story this one is based on a djinn lamp bringing the main heroine into another world. She was told by the Djinn that she needs be the one to grant the wish of the (selected guy) in order to return to her own world.

I for one know she won't return but before I say anything this is my most important opinion so far.

ASFNQEKGNEGJELFDSKNF!!!!! ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ Why did they show him on the cover and NOT give him to us for scenario first? And it sucks because he appears in other routes bleh. I was very disappointed but I am playing until they update his route (if they ever)

Anyways... sorry for the minor rant. I did choose my second choice since I can't get what I prefer I choose the foreign prince. (who's really angsty lol) Still in the beginning so I don't know what else I can say about him yet. Except the main girl actually tries to do something in the story for once which is interesting to see. Especially how they will fall in love.

Rating : So far this is only medium maturity. Can't see it going higher yet and very tame.
Interest : SINBAD. GIVE ME SINBAD. o(-`д´- ｡)
Heroine Opinion : She's actually a pretty strong heroine who is trying to make a difference in her life and not pushed around like usual ones haha.

 Bidding for Love

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.a1a117

Invitation Code : 45nzUB

Nope. If you aren't into very dark otome situations then turn away right now. This story is R18. Especially who you choose will show how fast you will get scenes like that. It may not be as crazy as Can't Say No is. (Since so far it's only one on one) It's still very... mature.

The heroine was asked on a job to deliver an important document for her work at a bidding auction. She gets duped and she was sold on the bidding auction instead. (the one you choose will buy you)

You are stuck with him for a year but when he bought you, well you can guess what happens, he will cash in on the first appearance.

I choose foreign prince again (sometimes they are super weird love at first sight lol but I still like them better. And I didn't have many choices.) Takato Iriya. His gentle nice yet he was pretty cold on not letting her go lol. I was like what WHAT WHAT?! when I was first reading. The girl though is pretty awesome, she really tried hard in trying to getting away. But now is stuck with being with the guy because he was like you can kill me if you want to leave of course she cant. (and luckly Takato Iriya hasn't really done anything to her yet except extreme molesting.) I was somewhat relieved lol. But I know it won't last long so we'll see.

I am interested though there seems to be a back story to the character so I want to see what happens.

Rating : R18, Don't play if you expect a lightheart otome game.
Interest : As bad as it is, Takato Iriya seems very interesting so far (except his fetish lol) I want to see if he develops a story as it keeps going. (instead of molesting her)

Sweet Scandal

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.arismile.o17a122

Invitation Code : JiksZj

 Probably my favorite out of all of them so far. All the guys are pretty interesting so far and not like crazy. The heroine is a reporter who works in the passion of showing the true side of the person they interview. You can choose from three guys and I choose Misato Yusuke. (Hee Tsuntsun.)

It's really cute so far with heroine and Yusuke especially with how she got him to trust her. And that she's older than him haha. Every time I read the chapters I can't help but giggle how cute Yusuke is when he wants her attention and support secretly.

I won't go too far into the story since I will save it for the review but this is a must for anyone who want my higher suggested ones. The story is really cute.

Rating : Medium Maturity is like ok for it. It's tame and there aren't any risky scenes so far. And I think the story is more cute than anything serious in the heart so yeah haha.

Interest : Misato Yusuke fffffffff he's so cute it hurts. The relationship between him and the heroine just recently I couldn't help but laugh so much. I want to finish the game~

Heroine : She's a hard working woman but she is pretty girly still. Her attitude isn't too new but her equation with Misato Yusuke is really cute. Lol that she was called out as being late on her date age.

Games by NTT Solmare Corp.
For those playing Shall we date? games. A cool thing about all their free ones, they give bonus to each other! So I highly suggest playing all of them. (Destiny Ninja https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nttsolmare.game.android.dn + all the ones below) Even if it's just to get bonus for one the game you are playing most haha. 

Added my friend ID for anyone who wants to get bonus when starting!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I LOVE THIS ONE. My most favorite out of the ones I've played so far. (so much I actually bought the original game story...) I am still playing the free version though to see if they will have extra stories and such.

The heroine may be typical personality (needs to be rescued etc) but she's really cute. She is a bit better than usual ones because her equation with the guy is really cute. Story is written well.

I choose Hajime since he seemed more mysterious/sly and I wanted to see what kind of story he had. (And I loved his story ughhh I never cheered on a relationship more than I did in this game. To actually wished they just got together already lol.) I'm going to see the other guys story after I pass Hajime on the free version to see how they are too because I think they are interesting too. But words cannot explain how cute their relationship was!! I was really sad when it ended. So expect a review soon with more gushing haha.

Rating : It's just like Destiny Ninja they have "those" scenes but this one happening within the story not at the end. It's written with censor though so it's not really a high maturity. Just don't expect to play this without that being described though. They don't just hold hands haha ;;;
Interest : I want to play through everyone else (and hope they decide to add the other guys.........) but HAJIME. Give me extra stories! My heart can't contain the cuteness between the heroine and him. (◕‿◕✿)
Heroine Opinion : As explained, she's typical main girl who needs to be saved and has a bit of a ditzy attitude but she's actually pretty cute in how she is that way. I liked her since she had more personality and wasn't annoying at least.

I never played this game even though it's one of the older ones? Doing so now and it's pretty cute. Haven't really caught on much of an opinion probably won't until I finish and review it.

I am currently going for Alvah. So far so good.

Rating : This is probably not even close to Medium Maturity. It reminds me of the old otome games where dating was all you did lol. So I would say it's super tame and like super teen friendly too. Haha.
Interest : None of the guys are really my favorite but I am playing to see the story so it'll be interesting to see how this one plays out in the end.
Heroine : It's a bit awkward how she appeared in their life but she's pretty normal aside from that.

I played this before and I went for Sasuke in the first try on GREE (Which was a pain to play.) This time Shall we Date released it themselves and I am going to Hanzo. Which was my first pick in the first place, I just lol, wanted to see how Sasuke was since he was cute.

So far so good, it's a good story and scenario is written out well. I like that each character actually is a different story route and not like copied from each other. I will write a review when I am done.

Rating : I know this one can be Medium Mature from the GREE one but I haven't gotten anywhere yet so yeah haha.
Interest : Hanzo (●´∀｀）ノ♡
Heroine : She is the ninja princess, in Hanzo route currently she is like weak... I liked her in Sasuke route because she tries hard to become a skilled ninja to help those around her. It might just be the different in GREE vs NTT version? I don't know. I hope she tries to get stronger instead of being saved and being upset at other people dying in war.

[OTOME] Shall we date?: Destiny Ninja Hattori Hanzo Kazemasa Route & Review

Shall we date?: Destiny Ninja

In the middle of war in the era of Genpei in Japan. A Ninja appeared infront of you after you lost your memories. You have since being put in the midst of the Genpei war and forbidden romance…

A romantic adventure life with handsome ninjas and hidden feelings of love…

Who is your Destiny Ninja ?

Ahh it's been over a year since I've passed Hattori Hanzo Kazemasa and I never finished writing up a review for it. I really enjoyed this otome game since it was one of the enjoyable ones I could pass without too many issues with checkpoint. (Unlike the Gree games.) (¬､¬)

::START OF REVIEW::

I really enjoyed Kazemasa as a character he basically first appeared standoffish toward the heroine when they first stumbled across each other. Knowing that she wasn't a spy or enemy he ended up having her follow him to escape from the battle. The Heroine has lost her memories of who she is and why she was there on the battlefield in the first place. Seeing how Kazemasa rescues her in the beginning they were brought back to his base where his companions live.

They all decide it's fine to take her in until she recovers her memories. During the time they spent together they made sure she had someone to take care of her. (of course the route you selected is the one) so Kazemasa was set to be her personal protector until the day comes. However the most time spent together, Kazemasa's cold indifferent personality breaks a bit and he shows his true side which is super loving and caring. (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡ (He's like a lonely wolf who just needs a nice pet on the head.) Of course he ends up showing his feelings to the heroine quite fast as they spend time together.

Through the last battle in the story when enemies attack the heroine because she is actually part of a wealthy status, he shows no fear to show you his true feelings and protects her with his power. (Though in front of others he is embarrassed like crazy. Such a Tsundere haha.) In the end depending on your choices you will unlock a different type of ending. One being super sweet and one being a happy ending. And there is a hidden love ending which is...sexy times sweet. (They censor the wording pretty much so it's actually just use your imagination type of situation haha)

The storyline was pretty good, it's nothing outstanding but it's enjoyable for the fact is was free. I enjoyed the characters a lot (the other guys) they all had their personality. The CGs was very beautiful and lovely. (The girl has a full face! Her eyes are just covered by her hair haha.)

I was interested in probably playing through another route soon but I will always love Kazemasa's character. His tough strong indifferent exterior had such a soft spot (reallymeltsmyheartinabachelor). Once he was in love, he was such a sweetheart with no more cold shoulders. All his extra events made me melt in the heart and I really like how he never really goes back being indifferent at all with the heroine (unlike some characters I've seen before). （●´∀｀）ノ♡

Extra Spin Offs / Extra Stories CGs

 Training for Homemaking

(This is pretty cute, except it plays a lot off of jealousy at first and then sexy times haha.) (^^ゞ

 Newly-Wed Challenge

(〃￣ω￣〃ゞ

 A Princess in Wonderland

(Probably my least favorite out of the spin offs. It's like a fantasy fanfiction which isn't related to the main story at all. It was somewhat cute but I felt it wasn't as good as the other spin offs. Haha.)

 Christmas

(THIS ONE. AGH. So cute, I died inside when he took the initiative to be a super bold about dressing her up in her new kimono gift he got her.  (*ﾉ▽ﾉ)

My Handsome Beast

(This one is adorable. I enjoyed it even though it's a bit silly since the guy suddenly got turned into a half furry for a day. I wished he was a wolf than a bunny but then again he's soft inside so it matches in a sense. X'D) 

::END OF REVIEW::

(He's talking about his inner feelings. That face always.) (´ε｀ )♡

I would highly suggest this game for a pretty fair "free" game. They don't really force you to buy all the things to get through the game, as long as you have the time and patience you will pass the game without issue. (Daily login bonuses are good + if you play any of the other Shall We Date series you get bonus!)

[OTOME] Can't Say No - Subaru's Route a.k.a Security Guard

Can't Say No

Every day, your (player) life is ended with exhaustion from the overtime work and your rocky relationship with your fiancé. One day, as usual you are so tired of your work and somehow you are drawn to the little cafe near your office with its rich coffee aroma. You sat at the counter and yet the first thing you can think of is your fiancé. But things are different today.

Your life is about to change when you meet this charming and seductive man at the cafe and you didn’t see it coming.What is waiting ahead? Will you able to keep your usual simple life or decide to take a road down to a passionate and dangerous romance?

Sometimes love can be dangerous in a grown up world. So can you say no?

First off the expression below probably explains my feelings to this game.

（◎ー◎；）

Let me be honest they never warned me this game was R18 and borderline "I will mess with you feelings & let me crush your heart." I know how far mobile games can go but this takes the cake for one of the most extreme up to date.

Not that I didn't enjoy the storyline, it was written like a Dark Otome game and those usually have really harsh storylines but it's well written because the plot didn't come randomly. Of course there are some complaints but if you don't want to be spoiled andloseyoursanity from what I will write go ahead and read the below. Or stop now to save yourself lol.

::START OF REVIEW::

So I played Security Guard route because I have to be honest when I played through the demo storyline I was really attracted to his Keibi-in design. (he's super hot) but I already knew I should feel off about his personality because of what his preview quote is. So I went ahead and got his route anyways. I figured how bad can otome mobile games get, won't be as bad as the other games I've played via PC before.

WAS I WRONG. I GOT TROLLED SO BADLY. Even though I half expected it... I wasn't prepared how far the writing will go.

The story starts off where the heroine has a douchebag fiancé who only pays attention to her when he wants to satisfy his needs, Kaoru. They are going to get married soon but he's ignoring her a lot while she's getting a lot of stress from work from her boss Akira. But luckly by her side there is this really nice good looking security guard who cheers her on all the time. (Name is Subaru btw, just the main heroine doesn't know.)

He always cheers her up when she's stressed out or working Overtime & treating her to donuts/coffee. I can understand how the heroine feels in the sense where she is getting pushed aside by her "to be husband" but I just can't understand why didn't she just break it off with him if she started to wander about her eyes on someone who is supportive to her & her boyfriend does things such as betrayal. Instead... She leads Subaru on with being a little nice to him.

They had a day where they met out of work and she is drinking at the coffee house (coffee is the new alcohol apparently, she drinks it every time she's upset.) and she sees him not in uniform but as a normal guy. They sit together for coffee. (but of course she teases him when he does, girl you are not single don't touch another guy. EVEN if you are upset/lonely and feeling a bit risky.)

Poor thing sends her this letter after that incident and I was like, you made him feel awkward what he said was right.  Girl check yourself!

Do yourself a favor girl, break up with your fiancé or stop messing with him. I can tell he likes you (but you probably don't) but come on, you're making this a bad situation for yourself even if your fiancé is a two timing douchebag.

But of course that isn't the end of the story, with her always overtime and the security guard doesn't always work. Recently she felt someone following her all over the place after work. Of course the day he doesn't work, she gets attacked by some Thug trying to take advantage of her. And then he comes to the rescue.

Well of course he was just coincidently nearby to rescue her. And scolded her being too uncaring about her surroundings.

(I also blame her boyfriend for never listening to her when she said she feels like she's being stalked and goes home late. What choice can she have when it's Overtime to work?)

He drives her home to make sure she is safe but of course now is the time her boyfriend actually is waiting at her home. While being all jealous on the fact she was delivered back home by another guy. (Kaoru you're the idiot for not taking her home every night, instead you BS when she texts you. And ignore her questions.) Of course Subaru scolds him as well for being a bad boyfriend.

So after this Kaoru is in the apartment and I was expecting some argument or explaining but they only fade out to the morning. （；¬＿¬) And I kind of guessed what happened. WHY ELSE WOULD HE BE HERE.

The next morning Kaoru then gives her problems and they argue while she finally explains why she had someone take her home because she was attacked. (she remembered because the thug was murdered the next morning and it was broadcasted on TV.) So Kaoru changes the subject by taking off her shirt she just put on. By this time I'm like ahhhhhh come on give me a break ヾ(×× ) ﾂ and I guessed the situation right. And then I started to worry where this game is going after seeing how it's panning out.

So the next few days even though the security guard was in her mind all the time. She couldn't see how or what she can do in her situation. (break up with your douchebag boyfriend and stop letting him use you.) But because she didn't do anything it seems the day was coming soon where I will soon see the worst. (;~;)

Everyone at her work started to confess or try to ask her out including Akira her boss. (wth don't you guys know she's taken, what is wrong with everyone.) I almost wished this was a bad dream or she was hallucination because of her coffee addict lol but nope. So of course it looked like she didn't listen to Subaru's advice at all and "still" put herself in danger. And she is working OT again with Akira now at the office. (even though he didn't pull anything he respected her refusal) Subaru confronted her... With this face.

Nope nope nope nope nope. (ﾉ￣д￣)ﾉ /somebodyhelpiknowthatface

I knew what was coming, in his mind what he sees is someone he admired and liked turning into someone that doesn't care enough about herself or rather probably enjoys the attention. It's like seeing your dreams crushed... and that's where you turn weird.

(ashotashelooksinthepicture) I was like this is wrong, please stop. GIRL DO SOMETHING. It's not like he won't listen if only you stop talking to yourself and say it out loud. (A Hey I'm not that type of person and I actually like you would have helped. But at this point she can't prove much.)

Of course nothing happened because she finally sort of snapped out of it and escaped. (which probably proved to him that she wasn't that kind of person after all hence why he avoided her after this because his rage actions.) She just goes back to work with Akira trying to not let it bother her (because she did like him but she can't seem to decide what she wanted to do. She doesn't blame him for assualting her? I doubt she was smart enough to even know it was her fault for making him go crazy. Leading him on, not heeding his warnings and being in bad situations because of her decisions.)

Then the story goes on where they kind of forgot about this situation because lol it wasn't that important apparently. He went missing a few days and she started to worry about him. She also missed the time they were just casually talking touching to him. On the night she was by herself lost in thought, she gets pushed out into the street when a car is coming fast. Luckily he once again appears to save her. She had words to say to him but he turns away in shame and runs because (obvious who wouldn't after what he tried to do to her.)

Later she wanders off lostly into the "hotel district" after work which she crashes into someone she knows~ Rika who she knew in the past with poof! next to her of course is Kaoru. That two timing douchebag protects  Rika verbally and even pushes the heroine aside. (apparently Rika said that it's the heroines fault for always being busy with work... so I assume Kaoru is a big fat liar.) Rika yells at the heroine saying that it's best off she died in the incident beforehand. (wut so you pushed her?!)

All of this fuss guess who appears? Yup. Subaru appears to fend them off for being jerks. He give her comfort by taking her back home... But she cries a lot and she askes him to comfort her. So he embraces her giving her a silent comfort. (It shows he really loves her even though he is proven to be mr. stalkersan by now.)

Days go back to almost like how it was where he was supportive to her but she kept having problems thinking what she should do with her relationship with Kaoru and Subaru. (of course Subaru knows this and tries to cope the fact she can't seem to figure out herself with Kaoru, but it's not easy for his type.) It takes a toll on her body and one day she faints at work which Subaru quickly takes her to the hospital.

When she wakes up he was by her side and she hears his confession on how much he wanted to let her know that he really likes her and wants to do everything to protect her. Earlier he already told her how he did indeed watch her from afar during work because he had a crush on her because of her aura. (and that goes the same for everyone else too lol.)

He only asks her one thing is can she let him by her side to protect her forever. He doesn't want anyone to hurt her and even was willing to be just there for her when she needed him. I swear if this was the ending I would have been satisfied, break up with douchebag finace, let the guy repent his mistakes, tell him your true feelings (as much I hated that she couldn't decide), ask for him name jeezzzz and they end up together with a happier ending because he at least never would hurt or cheat on her.

But of course this game wanted to play with my emotions and crush it to the ground like that. 

You can stop reading here if you want to save your sanity.

During when he asked and waited for her answer, douchebag boyfriend appears and was all nu baby I love you, won't you be with me again, I didn't mean to hurt you like this. (I seriously hate Kaoru types, they can cheat but they can be all loyal to the one he loves to a degree. I'm like dude, get yourself straight or just be forever alone. ex. emotionally abusive)

This situation forces Subaru to exit with no answer and grief because douchebag boyfriend ruined the moment. She gets the courage (wow finally?) and does run after Subaru. (I was like yes!) and then asks him why he didn't say anything (why don't you have something better to say? (/ﾟДﾟ)/ )  He leaves saying he had no right to say anything because he wasn't her boyfriend or anyone of importance. (which is sad but true, all your fault heroine.) not hearing her full answer because her expression supposly choose for her.

As I think this will end bad, it got worse. When douchebag boyfriend took care of her the next day, he started to do what he usual does with her. IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM. Of course by now she should know that she actually likes Subaru but doesn't have the balls to say it. She can't fight back douchebag boyfriend and guess what as he was molesting her, Subaru saw when he came to visit her.

(＃｀д´)ﾉ

(If there was a rage quit button I would have hit that by now and hit the douchebag boyfriend + the heroine.)

THIS WILL TURN FOR THE WORST AND I KNOW I CAN'T SEE THAT GOOD ENDING UNLESS I SEE THE BAD STUFF HAPPENING. I was crying from the inside so much.

That face again. He knows he had no place to do anything about the situation. Douchebag was the boyfriend. Heroine never answered his feelings even though she was dropping hints. (Didn't you grow up hearing that hints don't work on guys, TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL AND CHOOSE THE CHOICE EVEN IF IT HURTS ANYONE. Short pain =/= Long term pain) He did a lot of crap just to get crap. Well I hope you know by now, it's YANDERE mode on.

(━┳━◇━┳━）

So... he does what every other yandere does in any otome game/drama cd. I'm going to skip out on most of the details because reasons and his letter explains the most.

I never had spine chills but I did when I played this part asking myself why why why lol. Depending on which choice you made up to now, you get a final choice from two to get 2 different endings when you get to the climax of the story.

Sweet Ending

After ALL the bad stuff, you choose him and not anything else. You figure him and yourself out in the end. And SHE FINALLY ASKED FOR HIS NAME. Like really? It took that long till the ending to ask him for his name. Jeez, he knew your name the first time you met and you never asked him for his. How rude.

Happy Ending

Before all the bad stuff can happen she finally was able to tell him how she feels. She told him she never lied to him. She always was telling the truth to him. (to herself) so it calmed him and he realized the situation they were in weren't the ideal one finally curing his heart. GREAT why did it take it to the dangerous measures before you can say it. Was it that hard? Bleh, but this ending at least erased his previous behaviors after his few days in the Yandere realm. He returned to acting normal in the ending and they plan to get married. (Even though the break up with Kaoru sent him in denial lol, I don't understand Kaoru. Then it caused the crazy lady to harass the heroine.)

But gladly, she doesn't have to be in check because he knows he can believe and trust her.

What bothered me is that she never got his name in this ending. Like really, do you really want to call him Security Guard the rest of your life. Ugh, if they combined the sense from the Sweet ending of asking for his name and then the lather I would have been happier. It's still a good ending, because at least in this one, nothing bad happens really except the climax is always about the same which I wished it wasn't like that.

And then the Normal Ending if you sucked at the game or had no guide ending. Just no. It's not normal ending. THAT IS A BAD ENDING. I won't go explaining it but I had to double check what game I was playing when I saw the "Normal Ending" coming. So no thanks please.

After Thoughts

I really did feel that Subaru had a good development in the story, it was sad but realistic on how he became a Yandere. If he was a straight off weirdo he would have locked her away when he first met her. He did so much to even just be by her side (if you are used to other yanderes most of the time they are just selfish or always at disbelief. For him he tried to believe she was a good person until her actions spoke otherwise.). He just couldn't handle off the pressure and well doesn't help he was mr stalkersan though, it gets weirder when you constantly pay attention to someone. So I am not too sure what I can say about him and how I feel about him.

I'm not usually into Yanderes at all and it's a turn off for me most of the time. But how well written it was on his end, I felt that it was sad but realistic how a person can change due to misunderstanding and mistakes... I only wished they stopped at the part he cried, but they wanted to hurt my feelings more so lol. It worked.

::END OF REVIEW::

...What did I just play. LOL.

By any means I may have been frustrated with this game at some points but the story was well written because I may have felt something coming but it kept me wishing it didn't because of how it was written. (They give you hope and punch you in the face right after.) Even how bad I felt sometimes I did think this game is unique and not really forced through out. (of course there are parts where I am like why. Like lols why you don't ask him for his name first but fall for him.)  

I have to say my most favorite thing from this game is the visuals. It's so beautiful, I need to see if I can ever find the artist for it, if anyone knows, let me know! 

I do not suggest this to anyone who expects a lighthearted otome game. I know the other routes will also be dark and twisted in some way. I know a few other characters might have routes some day but I will see if I can recover from the scar the security guard gave me to play any others haha.
