Hakuouki: SSL – Souji Okita ~ Plot & Character Analysis

novelotome

I love the Hakuouki franchise!

And now that I have my Vita (thank you, wonderful husband!), I was excited to play Hakuouki: SSL!

This game is about enjoying the characters that you have come to love and letting them be happy! No war. No death. No furies. No tuberculosis. No real plot or character development.

And that is fine.

This game is for the fans of the Hakuouki franchise.  We can just sit back and relax while the characters we love enjoy their sweet school life!

As always, character and plot analysis and spoilers after the cut! There will also be a few spoilers for Hakuouki: Kyoto Winds and Hakuouki: Edo Blossoms and, well…essentially all other possible Hakuouki content in general.

Otoko Yuukaku – Takao ~ Plot & Character Analysis

novelotome

To be honest, sometimes I don’t want to sit through hours of plot. Sometimes I want an otome game that focuses solely on the romantic development between the hero and heroine. I want to focus on the emotional connection between two characters, and witness how this romantic relationship changes these characters. I want something character and (most importantly) romance driven.

And while I definitely swoon over chaste love stories with awkward hand-holding and nothing more than a chaste kiss at the end, sometimes I want more. Sometimes, I want an abundance of hugs, kisses, and (gasp!) the steamy times that can accompany all the aforementioned kissing. Because I love physical romance driven stories, too…of the Cero D or “M” rating variety (I’m not into explicit R-18 otome games).   

And is spite of how melodramatic and contrived Takao’s route in Otoko Yuukaku is, I shamelessly enjoyed it!

Klap! Kind Love and Punish – Toma Mimasaka ~ Plot & Character Analysis

novelotome

I’ve been slowly making my way through Klap! Kind Love and Punish. I LOVED Camil (and his route), so I took a lengthy break from the game. Sometimes you just really enjoy a hero and you can’t imagine how another hero and/or route could possibly be better.

Well, I started Toma’s route and was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked him. Like I really liked him! And for a moment, I was wondering if this route would be better than Camil’s route. But then Chapter 6 happened, and my excitement began to wane.

I’m sorry, Toma. Please forgive me.

You’re still great, though!
