New game pick-up over the radar! "The Bell Chimes For Gold"

Jeez~ it's been such a long time! I miss you all~

It's been a mix of real life events and lack of any big and related news really.

BUT NOW... the time has come for us all to rise again!! \o/

Ossan Club is a unit of indie game makers looking for support in order for their games being released in English - I have gladly backed for them and I ask you to do the same because, well, a digital copy is only USD $5,00! That's about how much you pay for, like, a single route in a mobile game? Here you'll be getting five routes for the same expenses!

But it doesn't end there - the game has two versions! The USD $5,00 one is of a lighter tone, while the USD $20,00 version is R18! It's really amazing to have a game about middle-aged men with actual adult themes~ <3

Wrapping the news in a great tone, if you're a fan of Drama CD, it's worth checking out Ossan Club's voice team Patreon - you'll get access to unique-themed sound dramas, and if they meet the goal they'll release English scripts, all the while supporting more releases of stories featuring dazzlingly sweet voices of older, manlier seiyuu...

The time has come!

I'm unable to express all my excitement through words, so maybe an image should suffice:

So I've just recieved the fifth CD, and now that I have the full collection, I'll try submitting all the seals for the bonus CD... through shopping service! It's probably going to be a long while until I get to hear the OjiRaji extra, and I truly hope it's worth all the trouble.

Oh yeah, Seifuku no Ojisama staff have announced Sugimoto will have his own CD released too, but it does not have an exact release date yet, they just mentioned it should be around the end of 2014. I wonder if they'll release more seals for another trade-in (a full second roster of characters)...

Seifuku no Ojisama - subcharacter goodness

So, during Sugimoto's route..... Dear God, I shouldn't call him by the family name anymore, to prevent confusion with this dashingly amazing guy!

Introduced during Satoshi Sugimoto's route, "Here comes a new challenger!" - Takahisa Sugimoto, his nephew, a new professor where the protagonist actually has her classes with "the other Sugimoto".

Seriously, Poppy Seed, stop teasing me and please take my money. I swear if Takahisa gets a route of his own, he's actually going to be the first character I'll attempt having a full gallery, including cash CGs.

I still can't believe they just nailed a truckload of my most appealing traits in a single character: dark hair, hair length by the shoulder line, good-looking fringes, stub, smiling face, brown eyes, small traces under the eyes, tie, wears blue, professor... damn, I can't even count all of the features with my both hands, not even Tachihara - who's my personal favorite among the cuttently captureable characters - have scored all that.

Now all that's left is they actually getting my favorite seiyuu for him, then I'll be done forever.

Seifuku no Ojisama - Satoshi Sugimoto walkthrough

And so, he's finally here, the new character, professor Sugimoto, straight from a few passages in the prologue, he's gained his own route today, March 14th.
As a special treat, the staff have also released a new code which you can insert to get 5 Story Tickets, 1 Silver Gacha Ticket (the free one) and 1 Gold Gacha Ticket (the cash-only one), the code is valid until March 31st (Japan time) -> 201403pre861

Please be aware this guide is a WIP - I'll update shortly as I go through his route. Thanks for your support and please wait a little more for other characters' walkthroughs as well.

On a side note, I got all his free CGs (Silver Gacha) in about 15 tries (9 CGs), so maybe the staff has toned it down a bit - I remember spending obscene amounts of Gold in order to complete other characters' free CG sets...

Anyway, instructions under the cut!

Seifuku no Ojisama - 6th character's release and seiyuu

Quite a few months have passed since the devs have announced Sugimoto as the sixth character to be released for mobile game Seifuku no Ojisama. The news came earlier yesterday, for his seiyuu and release have been finally set!

Satoshi Sugimoto's role will be voiced by Yuji Ueda (most anime I've watched with him, he's done lots of young roles, which shows he knows how to act various kinds of characters despite his age... the closest call for an older role is Hajime Shibata from Jigoku Shoujo). His route's release is expected for March 2014.

I am kind of hoping they release a drama CD featuring Sugimoto after the previously-scheduled releases are done, however, he's not even cast for the special radio CD...

Happy Birthday, hakase~ (2014 ver.)

Kenzo Tenma, my beloved hasubando, has turned 56 today! In the same fashion as last year, here's a delicious cake for him~ <3

I baked a cupcake earlier today... but by the time it was ready to eat, I ate it without mercy, and forgot to take a picture *kills self*

So this year I have offered him a bought cake instead, however, my love for him is still the same every single day, if not an overgrowing love, ever since I realized I had fell for him years ago!

Today I want to know, fellow otome readers - do you also share such a feel with a hasubando of your own?

Seifuku no Ojisama epilogue event 6 walkthrough

It's christmas for the charming men in uniform! Until this friday, December 13th (Japan time), christmas-themed stories for Tachihara, Matsumoto and James will be available.

If developers follow the usual event release window, after this friday, it's expected to change into christmas events for Hayama and Saeki until December 27th.

It is still unknown if they are going to make all the five characters available for an extra week afterwards (this is also a common stance for limited-time events in this game).

Also valid for December, the staff released some codes you can input for free items:

201312pre652 -> 10 Story Tickets, 1 Gold Gacha Ticket, 1 Silver Gacha Ticket

201312pre113 -> 5 Stamina Recovery Items

For instructions on how to redeem the codes, please follow the menu translation post.

This image is from the past event, which was free of charge,
celebrating one year of Seifuku no Ojisama

Anyway, for the first time in such events, I tried being a smartass and picking all the 0-point answers, so in the last chapter of the event the game could let me pick the ending I wanted regardless of how many positive or negative points I had scored... found out when you finish an event with a score of exactly 0, it also goes to the Seme End, so the only way to have the Uke End in the events is to have a negative score ~(_´v`)~

As a good news, the total cost for each CG has been toned down a little (although I wish they reduced it even more).

Once again, I did guides only for Tachi and Matsu, because I really want to save up these Gold points to use when the sixth character is finally released ^^;

Seifuku no Ojisama 3rd drama CD announced, 2nd released

That moment when you just noticed something cool which had remained unnoticed, but was simply screaming at your face all the time... the ribbons, although being colored in each character's representing color, they link out into each cover~

Anyway, Seifuku no Ojisama official site has updated last week with information on the upcoming third drama CD for the "After Happyend" series.

Like the previous ones, it'll be recorded using a dummy-head microphone and the preorders will ship bundled with a code to redeem a special story in-game.

Known details about the release:

Inma vol. 3 drama CD details

Phew, last post was like a full month ago, I somehow didn't see it pass that fast! Was planning on doing a translation post but I somehow got tired of formatting it all out... maybe I'll get my ass moving and finish it before it's too late...

Anyway, this is some nice news I came across recently - drama CD label Velvet Voice is releasing a third (and fourth, in a date yet unspecified) CD for it's Inma series. Such series is about a pair of incubus, each with a different personality (which is sort of an opposite to the other demon), kind of rivaling themselves on who does the listener better, and yes, it is a R18 series. The interesting part of the news is, this time, the incubi will be older men~

Character and release info as follows:

Forbidden Love ~The Unforgivable Couple~ - Tom Nicholson walkthrough

(_´▽`).。ｏ♡ Ah, such a glorious smile...

And so it is, just in time for a fine Halloween (I don't even...), today Tom's route was released, so do this guide! \(´∀`_)/~~~
Don't you even dare ask how much gacha points were spent in it...... because I've sincerely didn't kept track of them XD I do know that, however, excluding the endings (which I haven't played yet as of this post's debut), his route alone is worth 118 tickets ;;Orz

Well, although his trolling nature in both Mike's and Johannes' routes (and I do appreciate a troll for all the giggles they're worth~), he was a nice guy in Ryan's route, he even was somehow romantic in Mathew's route (because it's not everyday someone proposes to you by building a whole chapel, you know...), so how does Tom fare in his own route? :3

Seifuku no Ojisama epilogue event 5 - PATCH

Attention: This patch was tested on Android version only. Although iOS users are more than invited to try this, the patching method presented was made using a Windows system - I do not have a Mac, therefore, dunno how to apply patches on a Mac ;Orz

Attention²: The patch is for Saeki and James event 5 (Halloween) routes. I didn't made it for the other characters.

So here's the solution to solve all your problems while needing a guide to do events - patch the game script! It's something very easy to do and should grant you access to whichever ending you want to achieve without actually needing a guide.

Please note that, while the patch allows for an easier path in order to reach the desired ending, it still needs the truckload amount of Gold in order to pass the chapter missions, so this isn't exactly cheating - I am just facilitating event completion for foreign users... ;Orz

Patch download link and detailed how-to can be found just below, in the full post:

Seifuku no Ojisama epilogue event 5 walkthrough

There's just about less than ten hours left for the end of first round (Tachihara, Hayama and Matsumoto) of the Halloween Event (Epilogue 5). Was hoping to get at least two of the characters done, like the last time, but I didn't manage to get enough Gold, that's why I took so long to post this... oh well, better late than never~ ;;Orz

Nice features for this event: Fumi now has some sprites (she is the protagonist's "best friend character", pictured on the left), also all the targetable cast of older men have new sprites wearing halloween costumes.

Anyway, after this event ends, the devs should probably upload the second part (Saeki and Barnes), for which I should come up with something to make up for those who wants to do the event in time - expect a new post soon enough!

If you still want to rush through Shima Tachihara's routes for the Halloween Event, please follow this guide:

#1 - leftmost answer

Seifuku no Ojisama 2nd drama CD announced, 1st released

Update: Added a countdown voice download link at the end of this post!

The Seifuku no Ojisama official site have been updated earlier today with information on the upcoming second drama CD for the "After Happyend" series!

Following the trend on drama CDs, it will use a dummy-head microphone for the recording. Exclusive to preorders, just like the first volume, the CD will come bundled with a code to redeem a special story, featuring the entitled character, inside the game application.

So far the known details on this release are:

Seifuku no Ojisama - 6th character announced

All that time, in the character select screen we saw, right next to James' silhouette (when he was still unreleased), a silhouette resembling Kei Kurasawa, a younger male character prominent in the story as the protagonist's cousin. Earlier today it was revealed that the sixth character is not Kei, but yet another character who shows up during the story...

Diabolik Lovers - 01

During the past years, anime has been the medium which hooks me the most, be into the related manga, visual novels or drama CDs.

As someone who never had any contact with Diabolik Lovers before, I admit being somewhat anxious to watch the anime version, because this series has spawned so many drama CDs I don't feel like listening to it all, so the anime might be a faster way to get hold of the story and characters... I just didn't expect it to be that fast.

Really liked this episode-marker screen!

I mean, come on, a regular episode is already short enough running around the 24-minute-mark, but Diabolik Lovers is only 14-minute-long. It only leaves me wondering if 12 episodes are going to be enough for a plot to be told.

Forbidden Love ~The Unforgivable Couple~ - Ryan McHenry walkthrough

Are you really THAT old?
I see NOTHING wrong with you~

Oh well, was doing Johannes' spoiler-free walkthrough, crawlingly slow, but McHenry shall take priority now, since I can't bother giving a damn to Johannes (or Mike either), so I gave up the instant I saw McHenry's banner XD
From this route, I must say the thing I like the most is the special stories, which instead of only providing an extra scene, they actually deliver it from Ryan McHenry's point of view, so you get to see exactly what he thinks of the protagonist, and that made me fall for him fast, because I got to know the motives behind his actions better than the other characters.

Still waiting for Tom's route with a passion - ever since I finished Robert's story, I have been saving my Gacha points for a reason...

Like the previous guides, this one is going to be a WIP until I finally get to the end of this story now it's complete!
If you have any corrections, feel free to shot a comment~

Forbidden Love ~The Unforgivable Couple~ - Johannes Gilbert (1) walkthrough

Oh so ironic,
to see a cellphone inside a cellphone!

Well... what to say about Johannes, I kinda screen-mashed through this first story in his route, I can't say much because I find him to be a real pain in... "my back", I mean seriously, if I was the protagonist I would've punched him countless times already... and this was just the first story - yeah, there's sequels scheduled to be released, like Mike's various story segments, I don't even... ;;Orz

Then why bother doing his route, you ask? I still like this game's overall plot, even if I can't stand Johannes ^^;;

Also, I like seeing the other main-characters appearing as sub-characters during the various routes. These what-if scenarios provide a few rather amusing comments from the sub-characters~

Seifuku no Ojisama drama CD 1 PV and tokuten

Spawned from a mobile game, the drama CD series "Seifuku no Ojisama After Happyend" will have it's first release later this month, in September 25th, but today the staff have uploaded a promotional video containing a few samples from the CD, which has the featured character voiced by Keiji Fujiwara:

The preorder tokuten for a couple of the shops carrying this CD series have also been announced a while back, the details below:
