9. Cinderella Girls Gekijou manga

   As a bonus, Cinderella Girls include a cute manga, "シンデレラ・ガールズ劇場". It comes in almost a 4koma format (plus headers), which matches a cellphone screen and scrolls down.

   

   The link to the manga hides behind a banner that looks like …

10. First impressions of Cinderella Girls

    

    For a long time I wanted something like Farmville or Animal Crossing: engaging but not intense, with a grind that's somewhat fun. Nothing caught my fancy, until now [1]. Cinderella Girls is just that: a Pokegirl Farmville, spun off Idolm@ster. The instructions how to fool Mobage into letting gaijins …

11. First pass of Haganai Portable

    Finished an introductory pass through Haganai P, received the default end ("sisters battle").

    

    Overal impression is mostly positive. Story is not terribly dramatic, at least on the path that I hit, but it's all right.

    The plot graph is branchy like hell. I dread restaring and taking it seriously. The …

12. Sayonara, Ryuuji-kun

    While I was waiting for Haganai P to ship, I hit on Toradora P for a whirlwind tour, possibly for the last time. With the benefit of experience, I can tell that the writing was much more story-like in it. Haganai P is too goofy.

    

    I think it was a …

13. Haganai Portable arrives

    

    The game came in with the post today, 2 days ahead of the street date, but I'm extremely busy having life, so I will not have a chance to play it until Monday the 5th at the earliest.

    The package includes some kind of a bonus content, but I can …

14. DiGiKerot on Dearly Stars and regions

    DiGi made the following startling claim in Omo's comments:

    You know, I’ve had a copy of Dearly Stars since it’s release, and I’ve still not got around to playing it. Part of this is that it’s one of those annoying DSi-enhanced games that are region-locked (therefore …

15. Courtship training and VNs

    This is going to double on previous post, but Steven also stated the following:

    The real hook is this idea that expertise in playing dating games somehow prepares you for real life romantic endeavors, and I found that idea utterly ludicrous.

    Unfortunately, arguing the point seriously would entail going too …

16. Holy mother of cross-promotions, Batman!

    A vendor of (what appears to be) a flash game "TinierMe" is offering Miku merch in their in-game shop ("for a limited time", of course).

    

    This is getting out of hand. I understand that more people play Farmsville than WoW, but still.

    UGH.

17. Idolm@ster 2nd Vision trailer

    DiGiKerot sent me a link to IM@S2 PV this morning. Holy cow.

    
    Is this "Mikasa"?

    • They are all in it! Sure, synthetic characters are infinitely malleable and we do not necesserily get a "story" in terms of an anime sequel. But it's so... strange. Cool, too, but also strange …

18. Juuden-chan CC

    Steven referred to PSP game based on Juuden-chan, Fight-ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! CC. I didn't know about it, so it's not on the list of VNs. A game by Russell, JcCC was released on May 27, 2010, just a couple of weeks after the list was made, and almost a year after …
