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... (_´▽`).。ｏ♡

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 ^^;

Guides below the cut:

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:

Choice listing will be referenced like this:
#1 - leftmost answer
#2 - middle answer
#3 - rightmost 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 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:

Double Score Cattleya X Narcissus released!

The beast has been unleashed... the second beast in the series anyway XD
This time, the target characters are two hosts and one librarian. For this reason, the game rings me back to Last Escort a little too much - it's maybe my favorite otome game (series) from the PS2, because I love hosts' sharp clothing and all the sweet talk.
I must say I really liked the new opening theme's vibe! Although being the exact same song as the first title, it have a new arrangement and the lyrics are changed in certain parts, like when they call their birthflowers' names - kinda curious to listen to the full song and see if the second part has changed lyrics as well.

Anyway, the official website have been posting a daily countdown to the game, featuring seiyuu from the main characters Rio (Toru Okawa, who got me charmed by his role in Shiki), Rui and Seiya (both by Daisuke Hirakawa, which has recently been captivating me through his character in Free). I have managed to save them all and did an upload out there - if you missed the countdown, enjoy listening to them now!

Jeez, it's too bad my copy will still take some time to make the trip all the way to my headquarters... I want to play this so hard, but I haven't even finished the first Double Score, silly me liking the seiyuu in this one better than the first one... (_´v`);;

Seifuku no Ojisama epilogue event 4 walkthrough

First of all, until August 31 (Japan time) players can insert the following codes:
201308prea
201308preb

To recieve 10 Story Tickets and 3 Stamina Recovery items in your Present Box. Please refer to the menu translation to know how to redeem these codes.
UPDATE: Insert code 201308prec to redeem another 5 Stamina Recovery items!
UPDATE 2: Number of total Gold for each epilogue and all CGs has been updated. They really got overboard this time...

Now for the current news! It has started today, August 24, going up to September 6, a new event with a more ellaborate story than past Gold-for-CG events, this time the theme seems to be the Natsu Matsuri (one of Japan's traditional fests).

Inside the time period you can play new epilogues for the first 3 characters, Shima Tachihara, Shotaro Hayama and Yuichi Matsumoto. Each has 3 Chapters containing 5 Story sections each.

The differences are, good news, you can read the stories for free, without depleting your daily Story Tickets, and these epilogues have two new CGs each - one for the Seme route and another for the Uke route, depending on which choices you picked during these epilogues.

But there's also a downside - there are missions which require spending Gold to pass (instead of the skill parameter built up for the normal routes), so this event, although lasting for two weeks, can come quite costly for players to afford attaining all the CG.

Since this is the first event which has choices, I'll try to post all the routes here before the event ends ^^;;

Ojisama Shinshi-Roku vol. 3 preorder opens

Drama CD label "milky chain" has updated their website with information on a new Ojisama Shinshi-Roku volume, the third in the series.

Since the series is continuing, this is a signal the previous CDs are selling good enough, which brings me a lot of joy since I really like listening to older voice tones ~(_´w`)~

Release date, synopsis and tokuten information are the following:

Seifuku no Ojisama - Shima Tachihara walkthrough

Today is time for Tachi's spoiler-free guide for his 3 free endings (because the 4th end is always cash-only (_´A`)"').
So he's actually my favorite character in the game... because... he speaks Kansai-ben, really, it makes his spoken phrases sound so good~

Like always, please refer to the menu translation if you need help navigating through Seifuku no Ojisama, and upon any further questions, just shot a comment and I'll try my best in answering you =D

Ojisama Shinshi-Roku vol. 1 & 2 preorder details

Having a keen eye for ossan-related goods, I've recently came upon this series from the new drama CD label "milky chain" - seems like I've just found the right drama CD series for this niche!

Ojisama Shinshi-Roku is supposed to be a series of CDs with stories about some rather famous older characters. This series also makes use of the "dummy-head" microphone, letting the listeners experience the characters act around them and feel closer to them.

So far, two CDs have been announced (and here's hope more are in production), with the following release info:

Seifuku no Ojisama - James Barnes walkthrough

From today I'll be posting spoiler-free guides for all the current available routes in Seifuku no Ojisama, beginning with James, which have been asked by a reader in the menu translation post =D

There is no such thing as bad ends in this game, but each character has four endings, in which one is attained with positive points, other with a negative value, other with a value inbetween these two, and the last ending is only given to the player by buying a cash item (please refer to the aforementioned menu translation post to know in which item tab you can find it).
