Ijiwaru My Master / Leon (1)

LEON-SAMAAA!!! :DDD (I think by now you can tell how much I like a particular character based on how I start their post.)

Doesn't this guy look like Ookami-san from Akazukin??? XD

Leon-sama is a lovely tsundere oresama. He's the ruler of a large territory and being an arrogant and selfish man who is prone to violence, he's not well-liked by his people. However, because of the immense amount of power he holds, no one dares to rebel and go against him. Nevertheless, Leon is very popular among women who flock to him eagerly, mainly attracted by his wealth and good looks. He himself also enjoys fooling around with them. That is, until THAT happened.

Ijiwaru My Master / Luca (3)

Here's a short(?) afterthoughts post on Luca. ^^

Thoughts

So...LUCA IS CUTE. :D

Considering that Luca is a non-main character, his stories were quite voluminous. In my opinion at least. Or maybe it's because he's the first character I played, so I couldn't compare his story with the main characters' which obviously is going to have more meat.

Anyway, to me, this is almost like a twins story, except that we have the two personalities in one body. I really enjoyed both storylines. Even though there were some overlap between them, it's not exactly a repeat because Luca was in a different mode in most of the overlapped scenes. In fact, I think it's quite interesting to see how Luca behave in the same situations under different modes. It allows the player to interact with both personalities and helps to satisfy different preferences. ^^ Like if you prefer the sexy, go for Storyline 1 and if you prefer cute, go for Storyline 2. I personally prefer the cute arc (Storyline 2) a little more than the sexy arc (Storyline 1). ;)

Endings-wise, I think they are pretty well-written on the whole.

The good endings were literally oozing with sweetness, though the one for Storyline 1 had a slight trace of bitterness. Although I was happy that they got together, the fact that Kurumi can never meet day!Luca again is just... T_T I mean obviously two Lucas are better than one haha. Which is why I prefer the ending for Storyline 2 where our day!Luca finally woke up to his manly senses! Good job Kurumi. *thumbs up* But I imagine it's gonna be tough for her...physically. *wink wink* Then again, she gets to enjoy both worlds hahaha. Anyway, since she became a succubus, she should actually enjoy it hurhur. Lucky her.

For the bad endings, the one for Storyline 1 was a little creepy while the one for Storyline 2 felt a little bit abrupt to me. ^^; Nevertheless, I'd still give both bad endings a passing grade given that there's a "complete" ending and not one that makes me go "Huh???". Yeah.

I used to think bad endings are just bad endings, and it doesn't matter how they end since it sucks either way but having played otome games for some time, I've gradually changed my mindset. Of course, it's not like I like to see the story end badly but I'd give extra points for games with well-written bad endings ON TOP OF well-written good endings. It just gives off an additional air of sincerity from the game makers. Like you know, they even bother to crack their brains for an interesting bad ending.

Yup. So that's it for Luca! Moving on to the next character...though I'm not sure when I will actually post the next review entry since I'm thinking of adopting a new format for my reviews to make them more writer and reader-friendly but have absolutely no idea how it should look like at the moment hahaha. Plus I'm currently hooked on watching Gintama, reading Gintama fanfics and playing Hiiro no Kakera (goddamn why is the story so long). Busy busy otaku here hurhur. ^^;

It's Luca Part 2!

Ijiwaru My Master / Luca (1)

Lucaaa!!! :DDD


So in the last post, we left off with Luca throwing the ball to Kurumi (i.e. ME) to decide who she wants to go with. Since I've long made up my mind to do Luca's route first, I chose...NEITHER. :D

Ijiwaru My Master / Prologue

Since the prologue itself is quite long, I thought to make a post on it before I move on to the individual characters. I tried to include the details in the First Impression post but it ended up REALLY LONG so yeah, putting it in a separate post.

Kurumi is a typical high school girl who leads a boring and un-happening life...and likes it that way. Her wish is to just float through life peacefully without getting involved in any drama-lama stuff as much as possible. But unfortunately this is impossible, being the heroine of an otome game.


One fine rainy day after school, she was burabura-ing around the streets when she caught sight of a bunch of blue roses at the florist. Fascinated, she stepped closer to look at them, thinking that WOW TECHNOLOGY IS SO ADVANCED THAT WE ACTUALLY MANAGED TO ORGANICALLY PRODUCE BLUE (like really BLUE) ROSES!!! Yeah. Then she heard someone calling her from behind and turned around to see her kouhai Homura-kun smiling at her. ♥ She told Homura about the blue roses and was disappointed when Homura told her that the flowers are just artificially dyed. She then remarked that since blue roses represent "impossibility", if there ever was a day when blue roses could bloom naturally, it'd be a miracle. /awkward translation

Ijiwaru My Master / First Impression

Love the OP!!! It's sang by Terashima Takuma, the seiyuu who voiced the main guy. :)

Plot

Kurumi is a typical high school girl who leads a boring and un-happening life...and likes it that way. She doesn't commit herself to anything or anyone if she can help it. Neither does she have desire for anything or anyone in particular. Except for blue roses. Real ones. Not those that are artificially dyed. Yeah.

Her wish for a peaceful life was destroyed when one day after school she was suddenly swept away by a mysterious gust of wind and thrown into the demon world. Before she could figure out what the heck was happening, she was captured by a strange-looking man with horns and wings and brought to a market to be sold to the highest bidder!

Along came two buyers, one cute red-haired bishie who wants to bring her back as research material for his professor and one beautiful gold-haired bishie who wants to bring her back as a maid for his master. Both were willing to pay as much as it was needed to have her. The horned+winged guy then asked Kurumi to choose who she wants to go with because he couldn't decide who to sell to. Here, the choice you make will dictate which direction the story goes...

Characters

Leon: LEON-SAMAAA ASDFGHJKL /DEAD *coughs* Leon is a demon. A rich and powerful one. He's self-centered and arrogant. An oresama character. However, due to a certain event (which is revealed later on), he has shut himself away from the rest of the world and stays in his castle all day with only Eins as his tsukaima.

Delta: Delta is also a demon. He's obsessed with science like humans are obsessed with magic. His greatest wish is to build a robot wtf. He's called "hakase" i.e. professor by some people. Kind of a social retard who doesn't know how to read between the lines and speaks bluntly. XD

Eins: Eins is a dragon. He's Leon's tsukaima, the golden-haired bishie who wanted to buy Kurumi to serve as Leon's maid. Gives off a yasashii vibe and speaks in polite form. You know, like desu, masu, deshou, itashimasu, nasai etc etc.

Evans: Another demon. Evans is Delta's research assistant, the red-haired bishie who wanted to buy Kurumi to serve as material for Delta's research. A genki and akarui character. Or so it seems. He's one of the people who calls Delta "hakase".

Luca: Luca!!! HE'S SO DAMN CUTE I SWEAR. That pair of droopy eyes just makes me go "awww". Also, Luca is an incubus! And he's got a personality disorder hahaha. That is, the day!Luca is sweet, innocent and adorable (and speaks at a speed of one word per 10 seconds), but when night comes, he becomes a sexy pervy manbeast. Two for the price of one! XD

Shirosaki Homura: Kurumi's kouhai. Very popular among the girls in school. Good in studies. Good in sports. Has a nice personality too. He's not captureable until you finish all the other characters and a particular Normal route. But what does a human has got to do a story set in a demon world??? Well, we shall see. Heh.

First Impressions

This is one of the first games I got to know about when I first started reading up on otome games. When I first read the storyline, the first thing that came into my mind was "porn" lol. I mean the concept of a girl being sold to someone to be their maid??? Yeah. It's hard to think otherwise. And the title doesn't help things. XD (Well okay, this IS a 18+ game but you get what I mean.)

Favourite character at first sight? Luca!!! In fact, he's the reason why I decided to play this game. That pair of droopy innocent eyes just kills me so. XD And his supposed day/night character difference makes it all the more moe haha. This is probably one of the rare moments in my otome gaming history where a non-main character catches my eye more than a main character. ^^v

Will touch on the prologue in the next review post!
