Another nice post from otome.com.

(the announcement was on twitter so i'm not posting it)

An article on the recent drama by a small website, https://otome.com/! I think I have promoted the site here before.

This after the delisting of such games.

Explanatory post, not a shaming post for those who like red flag LIs. Found this useful for anyone who wants to understand—I certainly read a lot of similar explanations from fans of red flags in otome during my time on Reddit. Also useful for engineering an LI for your own game 👀

You can also read about it here on otomekitten's site.

It's a stat-raising dating sim inspired by classic otome games like Tokimeki Memorial! There's also a kickstarter campaign running atm so I checked it out. Normally this should be totally my thing, but I was honestly kind of underwhelmed :/

Issue 37 of the Amare Fortnightly Bulletin has been released!

Hi everyone! Do you play even if TEMPEST and want to play Red Bell's Lament? Do you also play Voltage Inc. mobile games such as Love 365, Samurai Love Ballad: PARTY, and Court of Darkness? Or are you a fan of Lovestruck from Voltage USA?

Review and Steam link. Recent release, March 12, 2025. As a Linux and Mac gamer I am delighted to report this works on Steam Deck (and thus Linux) and Mac as well as on Windows.

Almost made the title "no console warring here!" both because I (thankfully) rarely see that attitude in otome communities and it feels more appropriate for the picture, but I figure I ought to lead with the question so people can actually answer.

Found this. Never heard of it before, I figure it's a few enthusiasts putting something together and hey, that's what this community is too! It has news and judging by the "ONLY Otome Hub You'll Ever Need!" recommendation for the title when I pasted in the URL, they are probably trying to be a center for otome information. Figured I'd check it out a bit.

I always enjoy reading peoples' thoughts on otome. Full disclosure, I also got this out of the Self-Promotion Sunday on r/otomegames. I figured a person who seems to be trying to be a new creator of otome-related content (in this case reviews) could use a boost, especially since the only consistent reviewers I can think of off the top of my head are otomekitten and blerdyotome.

Has 10 questions. Results include both telling you what you are probably looking for in a relationship, and what the relationship with the LI would look like. Also, post who you get in the comments, and if you think the results fit you!
