English Otome - April 2017 Updates/Releases

Edit: Added The Charming Empire

Buckle up and get ready kids, because some of the many otomes to be localized are being unleashed this month!! along with your wallet

Nightshade (Hyakka Hyakurou)

The game with the most recent update and closest release date is Nightshade, releasing April 12, 2017. So soon!! They've also posted 3 character short stories so far, so check 'em out.

If this still applies, it'll be $34.99 retail, launch sale making it $27.99. There's also a game + OST bundle on sale as well!

Here's some badass art

Period Cube

1 of the 4 otomes Aksys Games is bringing to the West. So far we only know about Period Cube, which will be releasing April 28th, 2017.

Also, check out the JP site for some special solo illustrations

Taishou Alice

Originally predicted for the end of 2016 and then March 2017, Taishou Alice is now going to release April 2017. Maybe it'll actually come out this time lol.

Persona 5

This kinda counts? //shot Also I just like Persona, sue me.

Persona 5 releases tomorrow, April 4th! I know one friend of mine is going to be devoting all of her time to it www

Hakuouki: Kyoto Winds LE Preorder

Preorders for Kyoto Winds' Limited Edition begin on April 18th (NA) / April 8th (EU) and will only be available only on their iffy store. It's retailing for $72.99 (plus however much for shipping). You get a ton of stuff, so it's actually not that bad considering Vita games cost ~$30-40. Besides the physical game, the LE includes:

• Shinsengumi Warriors Bento Box 
• Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds Furoshiki 
• "Record of Service" Art Book 
• "Melodies from Kyoto" Official Soundtrack 
• Collector's Box Reversible Cover Sleeve

I'm actually kinda interested in primarily the items (much more preferable than to ps3's LE imo), but I'm too broke for that and a bit tired of the first game constantly being retold. 😂

Quite a few otome things this month, and only more to come~

Edit 4/18/17

So Dogenzaka Labs randomly released Charming Empire late at night, so now that's available this month as well! I've already talked about Charming Empire before, so here's my post on that. The price is normally $29.99 but is currently on sale for $23.99!


Also as of April 18th, the Hakuouki preorders are now live on iffy


The preorders for Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 are live as well, the day after the Nico event. It's not otome but wow do I love the AA series


Edit 4/30/17
Lmao guess which company announced on the very last day of April that their game would be pushed back? You guessed it- E2! I wasn't really expecting the game to come out in April tbh but wow talk about great communication skills to their fans 😂
