Exempting the Code: Realize fandiscs, only the upcoming Variable Barricade and Lover Pretend appear light-hearted, although who knows whether they’ll pull another Café Enchanté on us. 73% have supernatural or fantastical elements and I’d consider the vast majority heavy in tone and/or theme. Unsurprisingly, most take place in Japan. They’ve localised twelve otome set in the modern era (55%), eight historical/alt-history titles (36%) and two sci-fi/futuristic titles (9%). Looking at some trends, there’s a penchant for mystery in their chosen games, although this is somewhat expected for route-based games structured around an overarching narrative. 2022 is their most promising year yet in that we’ll presumably get four/five completely new titles.

Judging from what series they’ve ported and localised fandiscs for, I assume Hakuouki, Code Realize and Collar x Malice are their most successful series, which lines up with general sentiments among the community. 2019 was scant between the transition to Vita and Switch but 2020 was a bumper year that included three ports of old games. We can see that in good years, Aksys typically releases three unique titles. Titles localised/confirmed: 27 (22 excluding remasters/ports) It’s a very well researched article that helped shape some of my thoughts for this post so definitely read it! They go into great detail about its intricacies and costs. Okay, we’re moving onto the good (and bad) of localisers but I first want to link to Yankee Banchou’s fascinating post on otome localisation. Warning: this list doesn’t cover all the players! I’ve deliberately omitted some stray publishers like Degica, who have localised the odd otome but aren’t very relevant. I want to treat OELVN otome/amare with equal validity as traditional otome and there are so many interesting things happening in this space that deserve a proper analysis, so for your sake and mine that article will be coming at a later date! This post ended up being ridiculously long so I’ll cover OELVN developers and publishers in a separate post/spreadsheet. Anyway, it has all the gritty details (use the filters!) and I’ll be using it to analyse the games themselves in another post.

I can’t promise that it’s completely accurate or comprehensive but it should be a good starting point and I’ll try to update it with new releases when I can.

This spreadsheet covers console and PC releases (mobile omitted due to sheer number), although mobage ported to console are included. I used a combination of referring to the English Otome Games Wiki, vndb, and old-fashioned scouring. I tried to do something I haven’t seen before and actually log every officially localised otome in this spreadsheet. We’re taking another look at who’s who in the otome world, this time…the localisers and publishers! With some analysis and a pinch of (optimistic) prediction, I think we can illuminate the direction otome has and will go. If you missed them, I recommend reading them (especially Part 2 since I’ll be referring to many developers)! Welcome back to the big fat otome multi-series! My first post looked at the history of otome and the second covered localised and non-localised otome developers.
