Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side: 2nd Season had two special guys added into the game by Konami for the DS release. One, Taku Komori, was an adorably easy to win sweetheart. Then there’s Taro Majima. Taro’s harder to win over, and to be perfectly frank - he’s a jerk. He’s one of those guys who thinks he’s perfect (even though he’s not attractive) and he is going to spend the entire game screwing you over.

It amazes me sometimes how some potentially controversial titles manage to slip under some sites’ radar. Take, for example, the recent Nintendo DS release Vitamin X Evolution. It is a port of a PS2 otome game (dating sim for girls). Every good otome game has a gimmick, and the Vitamin X Evolution’s is that players star as a female teacher who can enter a relationship with one of her six male students.
