Otome Drama Cd
Ania Cozzolino
Does anyone have good recommendations for the best places to buy drama cds for otome games? Particularly interested in buying some for Piofiore/Hakuoki. Happy to buy new, but since they're slightly older properties, I'm also very interested in secondhand shop recommendations. I'm going to Japan soon (Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka) and have read the previous posts on the best places to get otome game merch, and am excited to hit up some of those places, but would like some recs where I can find cds especially. (Also, do people sell off their tokuten items from collector's editions? Are those easy to find?)
Throughout my blog I will be using these words. For ease of use and better understanding I will add them here:
Josei-muke Game - Lit. "Female-oriented Game". Games aimed towards girls/women. Not explicitly romance based but tends to have a large cast of male characters.
Otome Game - Games that are romance focused and has a female protagonist, directed towards girls/women. A good amount of otome games are visual novels.
BL Game - Lit. "Boys Love Game". Games that are romance based between men as you play a male protagonist. A good amount of BL games are visual novels.
Visual Novel - Can be interactive (dialogue options) or kinetic (no dialogue options, a linear story). These are heavily plot based, often involving romance but can be non-romantic. Comes in many genres (mystery, horror, thriller, drama). Can have multiple endings and character routes. Do not confuse with "Dating Sim".
Dating Sim - A type of "romance game" where you improve your stats, give gifts to romantic interests and go on dates in hopes to raise your affection with a love interest. Not plot heavy. Do not confuse with "Visual Novel".
Angelique (アンジェリーク, Anjerīku) is a Japanese otome game series and media franchise. There are various OVAs, Drama CDs, Music CDs and Anime series, developed along with the base game, or broadcast on TV channels, etc. The series began in 1994 and has continued since. The latest entry in the series is Angelique Luminarise, released in 2021.[1]
The first game was released in 1994 on Super Famicom. This is the first otome game (dating sim for women) known in the world.[2] Angelique series is also the first otome game series of the Neo Romance series by Ruby Party.[3] Currently, the games in this series are only published in Japanese.
A good variety of publishing imprints known for their otome/women-oriented releases have made their backlist (some of them exclusively) available at DLsite, such as Ninoya, Stellaworth, Hituzigumo, canaria record, Davril Moon and more.
