I got this on Friday, but go too lazy to take pictures today but here’s my merch haul for unfortunately the rest of 2026 (or as long as tariffs are still in place)

All my merch finally made it to the warehouse and I got the full shipping cost…yeah no more merch after this😭😭😭

I put in the order for HakYona acrylics I am officially done with any type of merch, I know the tariff costs are going to humble me into frugality😭

Woke up at 4am, drove an hour to the office only to realize it was a closed because of the holiday🙃

So excited for this one, I loved the first game!

I started 9 R.I.P. yesterday and I’ll use this thread to give my thoughts after I finish each route! Since there’s no recommended route order I’m going to do one LI from each world and by interest: Kureha > Sena > Minami > Yukimaro > Hibiki > Koyo > Seiya > Koharu

I’ve been slacking on BL compared to last year, but trust I will find more titles to read cause there will always be more titles since BL is such a versatile genre

It’s been quite a while since I changed my profile pic and banner, I should update my otome intro, but I’m going to hold out just a bit for Sins of Kaleido and Over requiemz😅

Listened to all of the f/ace songs after catching up to Tamon B Side manga and I think Supernova has to be my favorite one!

Happy New Year🎉🥳

I think I’m wrapped up for 2025 in terms of romance vns/games so here are the ones I played (there are fewer compared to last year since I was focused on reading more novels and manga):

Merry Christmas from Japan! 日本からメリークリスマス！！

Got my Steam replay, I feel it’s a bit inaccurate, I play more games after the cutoff date (Dec 14) because I’m usually on winter vacation then, but the genres do sound about right😂

Hey guys I’ve been thinking of doing a sort of review/character analysis blog on tumblr but I’ve been driving myself up the wall trying to decide if I should go for a side blog (right) or just convert my main (left), I need a second opinion on the layouts

Realized I forgot to post but here’s my little merch and manga haul (I didn’t realize the glare blocked the Yoshiki acrylic😅)

@eibari.bsky.social Finally we got some news for AmuLit’s Kaleido Tower!

Might as well post it here, these are the manga I’ve read this year that instantly became my faves

Update I finished the anime! This is one of the few times I rate anime and this is a 10/10! Finding out that Taro Umebayashi (did sone singles for Yuri on Ice) composed the soundtrack was a nice treat, I’m so excited for season 2 when it comes out! I wonder how I’ll the manga will end

Just finished the first episode of The Summer Hikaru Died! I don’t normally watch anime adaptions of manga I’ve read but I’m glad I gave this a try! The production quality is insane and I’m loving the artistic choices made here, the captured the eeriness and unease of small town/village horror

I’m looking to buy merch from Mercari JP, but haven’t shipped anything since before tariffs were added and they removed de minimis, so how cooked am I? If it helps they’re just acrylic stands

Hinako, I think you eat sugar too much ... #SILENTHILLf

Hey guys if you’re looking for more horror otome you should consider backing Lover’s Engima on kickstarter (an updated demo has been released on itch io and steam) www.kickstarter.com/projects/fal...

Since HuneX is porting Homicipher to switch next year, my non-pc moots who don’t mind horror have no excuses not to play it anymore😈

Every time I play an otome game blind, I always end up with a bad ending it’s like the games are telling me that I’m a terrible decision maker😭

I’ve been voracioubingeing manhwa on webtoons and here are a few I recommend, most are psychological, thriller or horror: Ghostly Whispers 44th Period: Survival Paradise on Earth Pyramid Game

I was planning on holding out with my switch but with the new fire emblem coming out I’m going to have to reconsider😫

To be hero x’a ending theme is so catchy, I’m always humming it under my breath, actually the soundtrack itself is pretty solid

It’s raining where I’m at so I guess I’ll put a pause on to be hero x and finally start Town of Nie and at least get Mio or Asuku’s route out of the way

Finally finished it! Took me sometime to pick a number 1 but then I got enlightened🤩

I thought luckydog1’s art style seemed familiar, it’s the same artist as Hana Awase!

Finished my second danmei of the year so far, and I really enjoyed it! I read the author’s other work a few years ago, but this one will leave a lasting impression, the translators did an amazing job, the prose was flowy and poetic and I already have some quotes engraved in my memory

I finished the first four episodes of to be hero x and my jaw is on the floor…can’t wait to watch more😀

HuneX is having a sale on their games until 8/28 for US Nintendo eshop, so who’s getting Hana Awase? (They also have demos available) www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

The butch x butch Yuri vn finally released, can’t wait to check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3280020/...

I finished tgaa: adventures! Case 1: full steam ahead on asoryuu (Kazuma x Ryunosuke) express, loved how Kazuma unwavering faith in Ryu’s innocence in Case 1, I was a bit disappointed with Case 2, but I saw some spoilers which makes me look forward to playing resolve

I wish this app also did birthday balloons, but whatever🤷🏾‍♀️

Heads up for my American mutuals! The American Civil Liberties Union is running a petition against Mastercard (one of the entities behind the censorship of NSFW games on itch). Let's do our part and sign! You can find it at: aclu.org/mastercard

I just checked myself and this is pretty true, I had to google the games name for the itch link since it wouldn’t show up on the website search even when I have the nsfw toggled to show content

Also this...so real

These are the games I grabbed: Switch: Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Crimson Spires Lil’ Guardsman Persona 5 Royal (yes I bought it again for switch lol) Steam: Summer’s End - Hong Kong 1986 Blood Domination

I’m sorry I haven’t been here often been dealing with nonstop stress and work just made sure it won’t end anytime soon🙃 I did snag a few games on sale for switch and Steam though

Ah Minatama, my Roman Empire🥹

Finally want to give Great Ace Attorney chronicles a try but it’s the only AA game that’s not on sale for the switch🙃

Finally got the chance to flip through my otome fan books and art books and wow no wonder the Amnesia one is called the Premium Collection, like I’m in awe flipping through that

Was so excited for bloody painter acrylic stand being available to buy again but paying almost $60 in shipping seems a bit excessive😔

Catching up in Mr. Mallow Blue manga and I’m reminded on how much I love the volume covers, and overall the melancholic tone of the story, it makes a great pick for a rainy day

❤️Time for some toxic love! 🗡️ Fearbonding, our yandere BL horror visual novel, is OUT NOW on Steam and Itch.io! Devour fear as the demonic Hinata and tame the deranged Yandere Kosuke to harvest more fear! store.steampowered.com/app/2871980/...

I feel like the sales with Aksys games have been happening more frequently lately, but anyways otome on sale for US Eshop until 6/1 www.nintendo.com/us/search/#c...

I’m reading Wayama Yama’s works and I never laughed this hard since Gintama, I love the way she used deadpan humor😂

I feel so self conscious buying merch on a game I haven’t played yet, but I know if I don’t do it now, after market prices for the characters I want are going to be hell😭
