Cool-B VOL.109 | Uuultra C SS (Akira × Shoutarou) - Pt.1

En la edición de este mes de la revista (110) no venía SS de UrC por lo que decidí hacer un resumen de la short story que venía en la edición anterior (109), del mes de Abril ^_^

es una SS de mi pareja favorita del juego, Akira x Shoutarou, así que si les gusta esta pareja, seguro que les va a gustar 😙

como ya mencioné arriba, esto es un resumen de lo que trata la historia, no es una traducción

El título es "Minimini Kaijuu y Yochiyochi Kaijuu"

y se cuenta desde el punto de vista de Shoutarou

La historia empieza con Shoutarou explicando que hay tres grandes etapas en el crecimiento de los seres vivos

en el caso de los cerezos, botón → capullo → florecimiento

en el caso de las mariposas oruga → pupa → imago

y en el caso de los humanos, primera etapa, bebé → segunda etapa, niño → tercera etapa, adulto

pero que también puede subdividirse aún más

que así lo decide la taquilla de la estación

una vez que se suben las escaleras, no se puede volver atrás

peeeeero, que por alguna razón su cuerpo había regresado a la segunda etapa (niño)

tenía unos 6 años y se veía como si estuviera en primer grado de escuela, pero que honestamente ese tipo de cosas ya no le sorprendían 😅

que ya hasta vivía pensando si ese día iba a pasar algo otra vez (algún evento raro relacionado con kaijuus)

pero que esta vez, afortunadamente hasta su ropa se hizo pequeña, y se alegra de que no tuviera que terminar arrastrándola mientras camina, y sin importar como lo vieran los demás, pensarían que es solo un niño

dice que después de encontrarse con un montón de cosas irracionales (las cosas por las que ha pasado hasta ahora) se le ha dado bien el encontrar pequeños momentos de felicidad

se abre paso entre la gente y se baja del tren

había prometido ir a comer con Akira-kun 🥰, y él debería estar esperando frente a la estación

se pregunta que qué Akira dirá cuando lo vea con esa apariencia, y piensa que seguro le va a decir cosas como "otra vez!" "ya había pasado antes!" "eres más pequeño que antes!" (*esto pasó en la SS del Kachikachi Kaijuu en la edición 105*)

cuando se acercó al tablón de mensajes que era el lugar de reunión (la pizarra para escribir mensajes en la estación)

en el lugar donde Akira siempre estaba, había un niño pequeño sentado, frotando algo como una tiza cuadrada contra el piso

se pregunta si es un niño perdido y que donde estarán sus padres

Shoutarou entonces se asoma preocupado y se da cuenta de que lo que el niño tiene no es una "tiza" sino una ficha blanca

una ficha en blanco ya que no tiene nada escrito

aquí se da cuenta de que el niño es Akira y lo llama

ojos negros grandes, pelo rizado y camisa de mal aspecto

definitivamente es SU Akira-kun 🥰

Shoutarou le pregunta que si él también se hizo pequeño

que su apariencia está en la primera etapa (bebé) 👶, y en términos de edad, se ve como si tuviera 2 años

le pregunta que si lo reconoce, que él es Shoutarou, Shou-chan

Akira niño se queda con cara de ???, y entonces dice "Toncha!"

*Nota*en esta SS Akira supuestamente está hablando en su idioma nativo, pero como está tan pequeño no se entiende que idioma es, así que lo voy a dejar tal y como está escrito

Shoutarou se disculpa y le dice que no puede entender sus palabras

Akira le vuelve a decir 'Toncha' y se ríe

Shoutarou le dice que si él es 'Toncha', y que al parecer tendrá que ser 'Toncha' desde ahora, que a juzgar por como suena la palabra, debe significar 'papi' (otou-chan)

le dice que no chupe la ficha, que las fichas no son comida, y entonces para que no se la trague, le dice que él la guardara

Akira empieza a decir "Chonbo Chonbo Chonbo!"

Shoutarou le dice que no se enoje, Akira comienza a lloriquear y entonces no tiene más remedio que devolvérsela 😑

le da la ficha e inmediatamente Akira deja de llorar

y entonces lo agarra de la mano, ya que Akira no podrá chupar la ficha mientras no le suelte la mano

Shoutarou dice que tiene hambre, pero que no puede entrar en una tienda con esa apariencia, así que decide que se tienen que regresar

Akira dice "Shimocha!" y empieza a dar brinquitos contento al lado de Shoutarou 😊

Shoutarou piensa que es una sensación extraña, ya que los autos, las voces de las personas, y hasta el camino de regreso se sienten grandes, pero que su agarre es más fuerte que el de él, y si intenta alejarse puede jalarlo las veces que sea (siente que eso es algo que siempre había querido hacer con él)

pero que sin darse cuenta, Akira de nuevo estaba chupando una ficha, solo que esta vez tenía escrito 'medio' 🀄

le pregunta que cuantas tiene guardadas, y que va a tener que confiscarlas todas

Akira dice "Jihai"

Shoutarou le dice que es por su bien, Akira se le queda viendo sabiendo que es inútil lloriquear, se saca otra ficha del pelo y la chupa frente a él… 😑

Shoutarou piensa que lo está haciendo a propósito (obviamente es a propósito ╬▔皿▔)

y entonces le dice, Akira-kun eres genial, eres maravilloso, eres increíble, inigualable... en fin, lo dice lo que quiere oír

que es genial que la ficha tenga un kanji difícil de leer, y que él también quiere coleccionarlas

Akira se queda callado, y entonces dice "Fuuro?" "Fuuro? Fuuro Fuuro", e inesperadamente le entrega la ficha a Shoutarou

Shoutarou dice que 'Fuuro' probablemente significa 'lo quiero/la quieres'

y entonces Akira, OTRA VEZ, se vuelve a sacar una ficha, pero esta vez de la oreja… 👂

era igual a la ficha de antes, así que Shoutarou se pregunta si las tenía preparadas para hacer trampa

Akira le dice 'Fuuro', Shotarou le responde 'Fuuro', y entonces se la da

a Shoutarou empieza a parecerle divertido el poder 'comunicarse' con él ahora

y entonces Akira, OTRA VEZ, se saca OTRA ficha de la cabeza, y antes de que le preguntara si la quería, Shoutarou le dice 'Fuuro!'

.............................................................................................................................

Y bueno, aunque me hubiera gustado hacerlo completo 😓 de momento lo voy a dejar hasta aquí 😣

Continuará en la parte 2

"The red of setting sun", Akira x Shoutarou SS

“I feel like time has stopped. Like I’ll always be here with you, never ageing.”

“......”

“So I don’t mind if this sunset continues forever.”

“I wouldn’t mind it either. It’d be nice if the time has really stopped.”

Railway crossings with the lowered gates, the backs of tired people, the persimmon trees in someone’s garden were all passing by the train window, basking in the orange light.

I was looking at it standing by the door. Autumn was slowly taking its toll; it made me feel strangely relieved, and I let out a quiet sigh.

    

Akira-kun was standing right next to the Soshigaya station ticket gate.

His hair was even more ruffled than usual, and he was wearing round glasses, which didn’t suit him at all.

According to his words, all influential mangakas had glasses, so he felt more motivated when wearing them.

This all meant that he had a deadline coming.

Of course, these glasses were fake and didn’t have lenses in them.

He pulled his hands out of the haramaki and opened them towards me.

“Welcome back, Shou-chan~!”

…But why did he sound like he was on the verge of tears?

When I slowly approached him, he hugged me tightly and started patting my head and shoulders.

“What’s gotten into you?”

“I came to pick you up!”

“Aren’t you busy drawing your manga?”

“I was so worried about you, I couldn’t do anything else…”

“You’re too anxious. Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Nothing to be scared about.”

“That’s good to hear.”

But even when Akira-kun finished checking if I was okay, he still looked upset.

If I smile at him, he'll smile back.

With a forced and bitter smile, as radiant as the setting sun.

“Let’s go home together.”

We walked at a distance too small for friends, too big for lovers, but just enough for a family.

     

Actually, the world has been coloured by the sunset for two days already.

For some reason, the night hadn’t come after the evening yesterday, and, of course, without the night, the morning didn’t come either.

The hands of the clocks struck 12 or 7, but the landscape remained just as it was at sunset.

     

When I say ‘world’, I mean just the small place where I live. But for everyone else, it only happened in the Setagaya district.

“Can we stop by the greengrocer shop?”

“Sure. What d’you wanna buy?”

“I thought that yesterday’s curry would taste better with eggplants.”

“Shou-chan, you’re a genius.”

I didn’t understand why the sun wasn’t setting or why we were led to think so.

Strange events like this happened quite often and usually resolved by themselves without any explanation.

And that’s why people on the streets seemed to continue living by the clock with the usual expressions on their faces.

It was half past seven.

Hearing the trumpet of the ramen shop made me feel strange.

As if I were dozing off, and everything surrounding me has been a dream.

“I heard that nights when the sun doesn’t set are called white nights. Seems like they happen often near the South Pole.”

We bought a big autumn eggplant and were heading home when I started telling Akira-kun what I learnt today.

“They said so on the radio in the cafeteria where I went for lunch.”

“Nah, no way we’re gettin’ those in Tokyo.”

He hunched over more than usual, his chin dropped, and walked a bit uncomfortably.

He was the only one in the town who seemed to be nervous.

“It’s too creepy that the sun’s not goin’ down…”

“If you leave Setagaya and go to Shinjuku or Machida, the sky will go back to normal. And when you return to Setagaya, it’ll be sunset again.”

“It makes no sense, really~...”

“What if we’re seeing a rare natural occurrence now?”

“No way it’s natural…”

Not holding any worries like Akira-kun, I blinked slowly, looking at the strange sunset.

He became even more anxious, seeing how low my sense of danger was.

“Well, at least it’s not that troublesome that the night doesn’t come. You can just wrap yourself in the futon when sleeping, and the sun won’t bother you. And it feels good to wake up when it’s bright outside.”

“You’re too quick to adapt…”

“Do you really hate it that much?”

“‘Course I do… Night’s good because it’s night; mornin’s good because it’s mornin’.”

“And what’s good about the night?”

“At this season, the bell crickets are creaking. And the moon looks pretty. Yesterday, we couldn’t see it at all because of this sunset.”

“...”

“Sunset’s also good, but I don’t wanna miss other beautiful things ‘cause of it.”

“You sound just like a writer today.”

“Mangakas are writers too, y’know?! Our sensitivity is what sells our works!”

After that, Akira-kun scowled at the sunset.

But I still couldn’t see it as anything but dazzling and beautiful.

“Akira-kun, do you ever feel suffocated when looking at the setting sun? Sometimes I get scared by it. …But not today.”

“?”

“I finally understood why my chest hurts so much at sunset. The sinking sun and the day ending turn into loneliness, sorrow, and sentimentality, and it makes me feel miserable.”

But now I’m calm.

The never-ending sunset made me feel safe.

“I feel like time has stopped. Like I’ll always be here with you, never ageing.”

“......”

“So I don’t mind if this sunset continues forever.”

“I wouldn’t mind it either. It’d be nice if the time has really stopped.”

“......”

“But it’s not like that, right? I still have my deadline tomorrow, and the trains still run on time.”

…He’s right.

I flipped the calendar, and the curry I ate in the morning tasted better than yesterday, having sat overnight.

“It’s boring to see the same scenery every day. I hope everything comes back to normal soon, so I can see different landscapes with you~”

“Akira-kun……”

“Even when the night comes and the morning comes after that, we’ll always be together. And, ‘course, even when we become old geezers.”

Akira-kun held my right hand.

His hand was hot after being warmed in the haramaki.

And his smile was soft—not bitter at all.

I thought that his vermilion-coloured cheeks were way more beautiful than the sunset.

Suddenly, the feeling of anxiety overcame me, and I dropped my head.

“...Usually things like this end quickly. Why does this one go on for two days already?”

“Well, maybe the guy who usually deals with all this got into some trouble?”

“That would be bad…”

“Or maybe they’re daydreaming like you just now.

“......”

“But they better come to their senses soon and do something about it!”

He raised his eyebrows and showed me a thin and comical smile, fitting for someone playing a supporting role.

I couldn’t help but smile in return.

“How’s your audition today?”

“Horrible.”

“Thought so. So I bought you a ‘get-better-pudding’.”

“I’m glad. Genuinely.”

“And if it went well, it would be a ‘celebration pudding’.”

“How convenient.”

“I also got a 'request pudding’... Can you help me put on solid colours when we get home…?”

“I’d do that even without the pudding.”

When we got closer to our house, the sun suddenly went down.

First Venus twinkled in the sky, then the bell crickets started creaking.

Curry was even better than in the morning; just as I thought, the sweetness of the roasted eggplant made the taste stand out.

Nothing happened—nothing at all. Just another day went down as usual.

Cool-B VOL.109 | Uuultra C SS (Akira × Shoutarou) - Pt.2

Akira se saca otra ficha de la cabeza, y antes de que le preguntara si la quería, Shoutarou le dice 'Fuuro!'

Akira dice "Bon", y se carcajea señalando las fichas en la palma de la mano de Shoutarou

Shoutarou dice que no tiene idea de que significa 'Bon', pero le pregunta si está bien que él gane, y cuando están por regresar, Akira dice "Dora!", y en ese momento su cuerpo comenzó a brillar 🔆

en la calle comercial, los cuerpos de las personas que iban y venían comenzaron a brillar más que sol ☀, pero como esto era pan de cada día para la gente de Soshigaya, pues nadie le prestaba atención 🤷‍♀️

solo Shoutarou estaba sorprendido mientras se bañaba en esa luz

la luz se hizo más grande, y gradualmente...

Florecimiento 🌼 → Imago 🦋 → Adulto 🧑

escaló hasta la etapa de adulto de un tirón

y cuando la luz se acabó, lo que apareció en el ocaso 🌆 era el Akira usual, aturdido

Akira le dice que volvió, (regreso a la normalidad) y que se acordaba de que estaba comiendo fichas

Shoutarou le pregunta que si tiene memoria (del rato que estuvo convertido en niño)

Akira le dice son muy vagos como para llamarlos recuerdos, pero al parecer si recordaba que le estuvo causando problemas a Shou-chan

Shoutarou le dice que no le causó molestias, y entonces Akira le dice que es de lo peor, que por qué los niños son tan tontos (pues porque son eso, niños 😅)

Shoutarou le dice que no era tonto, y que los adultos son los que han decidido las 'reglas' por su cuenta

le dice que ojala algún día pueda hacer fichas de mahjong deliciosas 😋

Akira le dice que no es necesario, que hay un montón de cosas mucho más sabrosas, y entonces se disculpa

Shoutarou le dice que no hay problema y que está contento de haber podido hablar con él en su versión chiquita 🧒

Akira le pregunta que no si fue una molestia, y Shoutarou le dice que no, que era muy lindo 🥰

Akira le dice que él también (es lindo), y entonces se da cuenta de que Shoutarou no ha regresado a la normalidad

Shoutarou se da la vuelta, se mira en la ventana de una tienda y ve que su tamaño está a la altura de la cintura de Akira, que sólo él sigue en la segunda etapa (niño)

dice que por lo general ese tipo de cosas se curarían al mismo tiempo (deberían haber vuelto a la normalidad al mismo tiempo) y le pregunta a Akira que qué fue lo que le pasó a él

Akira entonces explica que una persona con la que se cruzó hace un rato dejó caer un marshmallow, y que cuando se lo comió terminó así (eso le pasa por andar comiendo cosas del suelo 🤢), que al principio lo recogió por que pensó que era una ficha 🀄

Shoutarou le dice que de cualquier manera NO debería habérselo comido, y entonces Akira le pregunta que qué fue lo que le pasó a él

Shoutarou explica que sólo se subió al tren, y entonces...

y se pregunta que si lo de ambos lo hizo un kaijuu diferente

Akira entonces se agacha (para hacer contacto visual 👁), y Shou-chan involuntariamente se sorprende cuando él le acerca el rostro

Akira le dice se curará tarde o temprano, y que Shou-chan es impresionante, que incluso siendo tan pequeño era muy firme

le dice que es genial y le acaricia la cabeza 🥰, le dice que como disculpa por los inconvenientes, escuchará cualquier cosa que le pida, que cualquier cosa está bien

Shoutarou le dice que no le molestó en absoluto, y dice que él no es una persona 'firme', que tenía que serlo por que si no no se convertiría en un adulto

no tenía resistencia a subir las escaleras (pasar de la niñez/adolescencia a la adultez), pero que si le dijeran que tiene la posibilidad de volver, le gustaría intentarlo

le pide a Akira que no se burle de él, y le dice que le gustaría morder el pudin 🍮 sin usar cuchara, que quiere llenarse toda la boca de caramelo 🍬

Akira le dice que él también quiere hacerlo, y que vayan a hacerlo 😋

Shoutarou le dice que es un 'libertino' (dando a entender que es un despreocupado)

y entonces la historia termina con una 'reflexión' de Shoutarou diciendo que Akira siempre lo sorprende, y siempre le enseña

lo que se te permite hacer porque eres un niño, y lo que no debes hacer porque eres un adulto

pero que en realidad no existen tales 'restricciones'

y aunque hayas subido las escaleras, inesperadamente puedes volver con normalidad (subir y bajar las veces que sea)

y ya para terminar, en la página 33 viene la descripción de los Kaijuu, solo que esta vez no hubo ilustración de ninguno 😞

uno es el "Minimini Kaijuu", cuya idea fue de alguien con el seudónimo de 'You'

su sensación es la de las gomitas y tiene la habilidad de cambiar la apariencia de la gente a la apariencia que tenían en la infancia

el otro es el "Yochiyochi Kaijuu", y la idea fue de 'Oogushi'

su sensación es la del malvavisco y tiene la habilidad de cambiar la apariencia de los adultos que lo rodean en niños, porque es un kaijuu que quiere convertirse rápido en un adulto...

*Yochiyochi es algo como 'inestable/tambaleante', como cuando un niño pequeño camina cargando algo muy pesado*

9 for Shiro and Shoutarou (you can decide if you want it to be shippy)

Oooh, you have no idea how tempted I was and still am. Ended up going open-ended and more gen, but could definitely be read as implied ship if you want. I think I wanna come back to this one with a shippy version.

This takes place in an alternate timeline where they met earlier.

"Who said anything about fair? Now, are you finally going to tell me what I want?"

Shirou sneered down at the shocked and slightly hurt expression of the man next to him.

It almost felt strange thinking of him as a man, even though they weren't that far apart in age, his face looked like it stopped aging when he hit 12 years old. He seemed more like a boy to Shirou, but according to Miyamoto, Kagome Shoutarou was only three years younger than him.

And according to Shirou's own sleuthing around the kaiju community, Kagome might be the answer to his issue. He hated that he had to lower himself and spend time with kaiju. But Shirou hated this stupid side effect even more. And there was no way he was going to Isshiki to ask about how to get rid of it. Not when Isshiki was the asshole who got him in this situation in the first place.

Especially not when there was apparently an easy out right in front of him.

'You want a side effect gone? You look for Kagome at Club Esper.'

That was the tip he'd gotten. But Kagome was adamant about playing dumb.

Kagome seemed to struggle to find a response for a while, then merely shrugged and turned away. As if Shirou was going to leave him alone or disappear the moment he disappeared from view.

"Hey, don't just ignore me." Shirou grumbled.

"I barely know you, I don't know what you're talking about, and apparently you are the person who got me fired. I think our business is done already."

Shirou growled, "We wouldn't be here if you just stopped playing games and just told me how to get rid of my side effects the first time I asked you!"

"And I said, I don't know what you're talking about!" Kagome sighed frustratedly, turning around to glare at him.

What the hell…

When they first met, Shirou thought that Kagome was simply keeping his cards close to his chest. But the pretending he didn't know he was a kaiju and that he didn't know how to get rid of side effects got old quick, and Shirou was a bit… hasty in jumping to some of his more extreme methods in hopes of getting the info from him. But even now, Kagome insisted he knew nothing. A whole week later of interrogations and a lost job with nothing to show, Shirou figured he was that stubborn or that he should finally believe that the tip was bad and Kagome was the wrong guy.

Shirou shouldn't have followed this lead, but it just went to show how desperate he'd gotten, he guessed. He shouldn't be surprised that he got an awful tip from a kaiju. Especially one that probably frequented this disgusting gay bar. Not to mention, this place was crawling with kaiju and Shirou's stomach cramped up every few minutes.

"Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave if you keep yelling at other customers," the bartender said, a bottle held loosely in their hand, but the implication was clear enough to Shirou.

Shirou was about to argue, when someone suddenly pulled him away, apologizing for him. Shirou tried to fight against the grip, but the person was unreasonably strong, and he got taken to a table away from the bar.

"You," Shirou hissed.

"Me," Singsonged the kaiju that gave him the bad tip.

"Well, I guess I have to commend you on such a bold approach. Everyone else usually waits for him to get drunk then steals a kiss."

"What?" Shirou gripped the edge of the table, "The hell are you talking about?"

"Kagome, duh," the kaiju drawled, their orange eyes glittering in the low light of the bar, "Don't you know anything about being a kaiju?"

"Of course not. I'm trying to get rid of it."

"Well, how'd you get it in the first place?"

Shirou froze, remembering that night with Isshiki…

He slammed his hands on the table and stood, "I'm not doing that!" Not with someone else. He wasn't a homo, and even then, doing it with anyone that wasn't Isshiki… He couldn't! That was totally cheating! Shirou was faithful, even if his wife hadn't been.

The kaiju held their hands up in a placating way, "That's what I'm trying to tell you. Kagome's side effect is crazy strong. All you need is for him to kiss you with a bit of tongue then, boom. Side effects gone. He gets almost blackout drunk from one shot, so he usually doesn't remember anything."

Shirou's hands tightened into fists.

"That would've been nice to know in the first place, you bitch."

The kaiju rolled their eyes, "Well, do with that what you will."

Shirou turned his attention back to Kagome, who was now taking careful sips of an orange cocktail at the bar. On one hand, Shirou's side effect was debilitating. He wasn't sure if he could keep living like this. But it seemed messed up to kiss Kagome drunk. Especially when… well, Belle still had his first kiss, and if he had to pick a guy, he could definitely do worse than Kagome… But… He couldn't be unfaithful…

"This isn't fair," Shirou mumbled under his breath, thinking it was quiet enough to not be heard.

But the kaiju simply smirked amusedly at him, "Who said anything about fair?"

Uuultra C review + summary

Recently MangaGamer released the English version of Adelta's BL visual novel UuultraC and I was very excited to play it! I really enjoyed Koshotengai no Hashihime (Hashihime of the Old Book Town) and was interested in seeing what Adelta would create next. This review is spoiler-free, so if you haven’t played yet you can still check it out!

Story Uuultra C's story takes place in the second half of Japan's Showa era (the 1970s). It focuses on the Tokusatsu movie genre, in which superheroes fight monsters (kaiju). In this world however, kaiju and heroes aren't just characters you see in movies, they also exist in the real world. These kaiju usually look identical to humans, until they transform into their monster forms, which often happens when they experience severe emotions and lose control of themselves. The hero siren gets set off at any sign of a kaiju attack, alerting the ‘’heroes’’ called Icarus, that it’s time to defeat them.

Unlike most other BL visual novels, this game has 3 different pairings and each episode focuses on one specific pairing. There are no choices, so you can just select an episode an enjoy the story! The second and third chapters are locked until you completely chapter one.The story is the same every time, you just see it from a different character’s perspective each time. I do recommend playing the second story before the third one, even though it’s technically possible to completely skip it and immediately play the third route. Also make sure to check out the extras menu, as cleaning certain routes unlocks new information!

Chapter 1

The first chapter focuses on the protagonist Kagome Shoutarou. His dream is to become an actor like his idol, Sayashi Juurou, who plays one of the most popular heroes on TV: Icarus. Shoutarou is in a relationship with Kozuka Akira, an aspiring manga artist. They live together in the Setagaya ward of Tokyo. Even though Shoutarou wants to become an actor, nobody usually calls him back after the auditions, which is why he currently has all kinds of other unrelated part-time jobs. Akira always disappears when the hero siren goes off and Shoutarou wonders what Akira has been hiding from him... The theme of his route is supposed to be like the superhero shows they would show on TV every Sunday morning! 

Chapter 2

This route focuses on Choutsugai Shirou, a camera man who also graduated from law school. He's not just any photographer, he also works for several gossip magazines and isn't afraid to show his own selfish desires. He also hates Icarus because nobody came to save his family when they were attacked by a kaiju in the past. When he was younger he starred in a movie together with Sayashi Juurou and his childhood love "Belle-chan". Choutsugai is convinced Bell-chan is a girl but when they reunite he realizes that "Belle-chan" is actually a man called Isshiki Suzu. Isshiki is a kaiju who pretends to be a fake white icarus. He always shows up when a kaiju is spotted, but his intentions are unknown. He is a kind and caring person who wants to protect Shirou. I believe the theme is a reference to Kaiki Daisakusen (Mysterious Strategy), a supernatural mystery show whose protagonist is also a detective called Shiro.

Chapter 3

The last chapter focuses on famous Icarus actor, Sayashi Juurou, who is mentioned a lot in the previous chapters. Many people look up to him, but he has many dark secrets. Juurou often meets up with his childhood friend Yomi, who he met after a tragic accident when they were kids. Juurou’s uncle raised both of them together after this incident. Yomi has a lot of part time jobs and seems to be very busy, which Juurou doesn't really like because he just wants to be together with him. Yomi is a very mysterious character, his real age is unknown and he seems to know way too much about certain topics, not suspicious at all of course!.... The theme of this route is a classic Sentai hero theme, or at least that is what they want you to believe.

Personal thoughts This game is quite difficult to summarize because I feel like so much happens within so little time and I also don’t want to spoil the plot! There's also quite some side characters who all have their own stories too who are quite relevant in some of the routes. The characters are really nice and likable, although the plot might be a bit difficult to understand at first because so much stuff is happening at once. You really need to play all three chapters before you know what's really going on! In the end, I think my favorite pairing is probably the one featured in the final route (Juurou and Yomi), but I also really liked many of the other characters, they all have their own charm.

The game is not super long (I finished it within 12 hours) but it somehow feels longer because so much happens and it definitely has some replay value as well. I heard this game has over 1800 (!!) CGs which is why it sometimes feels like you’re reading a manga rather than a visual novel. The OST of this game was also amazing, according to the credits Kurosawa Rinko created most of it themselves which is really impressive, considering they’re also the scenario writer and artist. Definitely a completely different genre than Hashihime, but absolutely worth checking out.

I really recommend checking the official website and reading the short stories as well, which I created a list of in another blog post. There’s also a Q&A which answers some of the questions you might still have, as well as the supplementary reader which also has some additional information. Most of this content hasn't been translated, but if you have any questions about the game I would be happy to answer them if you send me a message! The supplementary reader has this really beautiful cover featuring Yomi and Juurou, I’m a big fan. If you’re interested in buying the digital version, it’s currently available on Adelta’s Booth account!
