[News] Tentacles and Magical Girls in New Valkyria Game

Tentacle rape and Valkyria go like peanut butter and jelly, it's one of their main staples. So, it's really no surprise that their newly announced title, Denma Zecchou☆Mahou Shoujo Suzuha ~Kagaku to Mahou to Shokushu Inshun~ goes back to that familiar well.

Literally, the title translates to Lightning Demonic Orgasm☆Magical Girl Suzuha ~Magical Girl of Science and the Crawling Tentacles~, but as one would expect, there's a double meaning with "Denma" being a made-up word that also implies a mix of technology and magic. Not sure if Zecchou can also have a double meaning here. I digress.

The game premise is simple: Earth is invaded by an alien lifeform known as Barbaroi, a mass of tentacles that is impervious to all conventional weaponry. With mankind driven to the brink of extinction, the Earth's essence (in the form of a condescending fairy-like creature called Kyupii) chooses a girl called Sono to be a Magical Girl and fight them off. Two years pass, and life returns to a semblance of normalcy while the magical girl imbued with divine powers fights off the invaders. A sense of apathy sets in and people treat Sono's life-and-death battles like a spectacle, much to her dismay.

That's when a girl called Suzuha witnesses her weeping and, deciding the way people are treating her is wrong, decides she wants to help. This is when she meets a scientist who gives a hi-tech battle suit called Magical Dress that can mimic the powers of a Magical Girl through science. And thus, the Magical Girls of Divinity and Science stand together against the alien menace. Which of course means they'll get raped over and over again by endless hordes of tentacles.

One interesting thing is that the character profiles highlight Kyupii's sense of self-preservation a lot, which makes me think the little slimeball will sell out the magical girls to the invaders in at least one ending.

On top of that, there's also a mysterious shadowy figure that appears to be the leader of the Barbaroi. A tentacle girl, of course.

I'm usually not that big into tentacles and have not played many of Valkyria's tentacle games, but this one caught my attention. First, magical girls with rocket boosters are my religion, and second, the setup and dynamic between the two heroines, with Suzuha wanting to help Sono and Sono pushing her away, thinking of her as a fake magical girl while herself is cracking under the pressure of defending the ungrateful masses, sounds interesting, I want to see them broken and twisted.

Art is done by C.R, an artist I'm not familiar with, but I like what I see in the previews.

There's not much else to say, really, just wanted to highlight this game. Mahou Shoujo Suzuha is scheduled to be released on July 26.

[News] New Kyousei Shihai Previews Draw a Clearer Picture of the Game

Last time I talked about Bishop's upcoming title, I translated and shared my impressions on the official website's character profiles. Over a month later, the Features page of the official site has been updated with lots of new information, and like I promised back then, I'm covering the most relevant and interesting parts of it.

Since this is the first Bishop game I get to cover on the Dorei Cafe, let's start with the basics of the basics: the game flow.

As with most Bishop games, Kyousei Shihai has each in-game day split into several sections (three, in this case) where you choose a heroine to interact with from a map screen, advancing her individual scenario, unlocking her h-scenes.

The game has a limited number of days you can spend training the various heroines, and as you advance their events, you turn them into sex slaves. After they've surrendered you unlock an ending for that girl, or you can train her further with more intense versions of previous h-scenes, commonly called "retraining" scenes by the fanbase. According to the site, by corrupting all heroines and doing their retraining scenes within the time limit, you unlock the harem ending. Pretty straightforward stuff.

A solo ending for each heroine and a harem ending for all of them is a staple of Bishop games

As the story summary explains, the protagonist has the power to control the "lewd chi" inside his targets' bodies and use that to stimulate their erogenous zones and not only enhance the feelings of pleasure during training, but also develop those regions, giving them engorged nipples and clitoris, permanently increasing their libido, and even making their breasts lactate. I was quite surprised to see that lactation seems to be something that every heroine will have, something that Bishop has done before, but that was loudly advertised as a focal point the last time (in 2020's Reijo Kanritou). I really like how Biship handles lactation so I'm pleasantly surprised. I was even more surprised to see stomach inflation making a comeback. As in some past titles of the company, the protagonist can cum large amounts of semen and make the heroines' bellies swell at the climax of a sex scene.

I've seen some backlash to the protagonist having special powers to stimulate the girls sexually, instead of just relying on straightforward mindbreak, but I feel that tying his powers to these small body modifications makes it pretty interesting. It's also something previous Bishop protagonists did with drugs, so there's no real difference narrative-wise.

It's also worth noting that heart pupils, which have been a staple of retraining scenes for a while now, will show up during regular sex scenes as well, as an indicator of when the heroines lose control of themselves to the pleasure induced by the protagonist's lewd chi control, something the game calls "training frenzy". This will be accompanied by pink-colored dialogue. On top of that, ahegao, which is something that had been sadly relegated to optional cut-ins in recent years, is something the art is fully committing to again, much to my delight. Bishop games felt incomplete without properly integrated ahegao.

Honestly, the combination of these elements makes this game feel like a nice callback to those late 2000s/early 2010s Bishop games which had stuff like cumflation, engorged nipples, lactation and ahegao on the forefront. This isn't the first time Bishop returns to any of those things, but I don't remember one that brings it all back at once.

[News] New Nukige Coming Soon from Silky's Sakura, Guilty, Anim, Tryset and Miel

 It's been a while since I reported on upcoming eroge. And checking on VNDB (mostly by looking at upcoming releases and reading the titles, tagging on that site is dead) and EGS I found a few titles slated to release between now and June that have the potential to be interesting - and also the obligatory Miel game of the month. These are probably not all mindbreak, choukyou and etc games to be released in this timeframe and if you know of any others, please leave a comment, I'd like know of them, since I'm looking for new stuff to play myself, not just for covering here.

As usual, let's go through them by release order.

April

Gyaru na Kyonyuu Mahou Shoujo-tachi ni Itsukarete ~Uchi o Tamariba ni Suru Mesu-tachi o Haramase Onaho ni Suru Seikatsu~

Developer: Miel

Release Date: 2024/04/26

Artist: Ishii Akira

Focus: Sexual Slavery, Magical Girls, Gyarus.

Official Site

VNDB Page

The latest game by Miel, and the premise is as cliche as you'd expect. Three cheeky gyarusi have made the protagonist's place their hangout spot and treat him like trash. Unbeknownst to him, the three are also the magical girls protecting the town from monsters. as fate would have it, the protagonist's sexual energy is needed for them to power up. Just once, they need to have sex with him. Of course, this is a Miel game, one dicking is all it takes to break and degrade them into his personal sex slaves and onaholes.

Like I said, the usual. Anyone looking forward to this one probably knows what they're getting into. If you never heard about Miel, I made a lengthy post on them recently where I talked about what their formulas and usual cliches are, as well as recommend some games from their ridiculously extensive catalog. 

May

Inma Inkan ~Shokushu to Gattai Shite Omoidoori ni Yarikaesu~

Developer: Silky's Sakura

Release Date: 2024/05/31

Artist: Yoshino Keiko

Focus: Tentacles, Revenge

Official Site

VNDB Page

Yasuharu is a high school student is relentlessly bullied by his classmates, led by Yuuka, a charismatic gyaru with her hair dyed blond. The class' teacher, Nao, turns a blind eye because she has no passion for being a teacher and would rather not get mixed with her students' problems. And so, Yasuharu is driven to despair and, while searching for a way to painlessly kill himself, he finds a site on demon summoning with the tantalizing prospect of "if you want to die anyway, take revenge". So he decides to summon a demon to take revenge on his his bullies in exchange of his soul, but something goes wrong and instead of a demon, he summons a tentacle monster (who came from a fantasy isekai, right before being slain by the Hero). Scared, the protagonist flees and ends up hit by a car. Since both him and the monster are in bad shape, the monster offers to fuse together. Now, the protagonist has the means to take revenge on the two women he perceives as the root cause of his bullying.

Interestingly, the character profiles note that there are more than meet the eye to Yuuka, as she has poor communication skills and doesn't even particularly dislike Yasuharu, bullying him because it's what everyone else does, as a means to affirm herself before the class. As for Nao, she wants to get married, but doesn't have a partner in the moment. I'm really interested to see how that goes.

From the previews available it doesn't seem like the game will be particularly hardcore, which is disappointing, and it seems to rely a lot on the ability Yasuharu has of making the tentacles invisible. I'm not the biggest fan on invisible molestation as a trope, so despite the good premise I have my reservations about this title and will probably wait for user reviews and CG rips before deciding whether or not I'll play it. 

Kyousei Shihai

Developer: Bishop

Release Date: 2024/05/31

Artists: Mizushima Oonari, Kurono Tomoaki, Yoshino Keiko, Kinmedai Pink

Focus: Choukyou/Sexual Training, Sexual Slavery, High School Girls

Official Site

VNDB Page

I have spoken at length about Bishop's newest game here and here, and no new information has come out since (There aren't even any new previews to show, check out the second linked article for them). The cliffs notes version is: the protagonist is a health teacher with the power of stimulating "sexual chi" inside others bodies, and he used that to have his way with students in his previous job. He got caught and fired, but since the whole thing got covered up to avoid a scandal, he managed to get a job in another school and tried to keep a low profile there. Despite his efforts, a threatening letter came in demanding his resignation if he doesn't want his past to come to light. Deciding that if he's going down he might as well go with a bang, he goes after the girl he suspected sent the letter and raped her using his power to stimulate her orgasms. But turns out it wasn't her. But now that the dam burst, there's no stopping him and he goes after the girls in school that caught his eye, using his powers to make them his before the deadline given in the letter (the end of the trimester) comes.

It's the standard Bishop fare (raping and sexually training schoolgirls within a time limit) with a spin, once again anyone who played a Bishop game before should have a good idea of what they'll be getting here. I haven't played a Bishop title in a few years so maybe I'll give this a go, who knows. Maybe I just pick one of their new-ish titles I haven't played instead. Still, few companies do the sexual training part of choukyou as well as them, definitely recommended.

Eroge Kaisha no Kindan no Sekuhara Jijou ~Nerawareta Shinjin Illustrator~

Developer: Tryset Break

Release Date: 2024/05/31

Artist: Sekimatsu Minoru

Focus: Choukyou/Sexual Training

Official Site

VNDB Page

Tryset Break is a company I've been meaning to familiarize myself with for a while. Their games are on the short and cheap side, but some seem really up my alley. Judging from the previews, this seems to be one of them, and the main heroine's design really clicked with me.

Iwasaki Asuza is a young woman who came from the countryside and failed to get a stable job in the big city, instead working part-time at a family restaurant. One day she sees on the internet that an eroge company she admired for a long time (she learned about eroge and has been into them since her school days) is hiring and goes for it. She gets hired as an illustrator but there's something off about it. The "company" is just the President's private apartment. And speaking of him, she feels very uncomfortable with the way he keeps leering at her. But she can't sweat the small stuff, this is the big break she wanted, and at the company of her dreams. As the official description puts it, this was the beginning of her nightmare.

What my mind immediately goes to when the  game
 highlights a mother complex but the girl is younger
than the guy

The boss fits the bill of an ugly bastard to a T and his character profile mentions a couple of times that he has a mother complex, which makes me wonder how that will play out given Asuza is younger than him. I mean, with a body like that I can see why some men would want to call her mommy, but still, weird thing to highlight there and nowhere else.

The official site also highlights that the focus is on the power imbalance and how inescapable her situation is as the president uses of his power to harass and train Asuza.

I'm keeping my expectations tempered since it's a company I'm unfamiliar with and I know their games are short, but it does sound right up my while. Love me some big breasted innocent maiden getting corrupted by her boss.

Tomodachinbou de Midara na Shiru o Afuresaseru Haha no Ureta Mitsuana ~Kyonyuu o Yurashi Mimodaeru Kaa-san no Aegigoe wa, Tonari no Boku no Heya made Hibikiwataru~

Developer: Anim.teamMM

Release Date: 2024/06/28

Artist: Un Tabetarou

Focus: Mom NTR, Moral Degeneration, Straight Shota

Official Site

VNDB Page

This one I debated whether to put on the list because it isn't clear whether corruption and sexual training will play a large role in the game or not. As it is first and foremost a NTR game. I decided that it's worth at least keeping it on the radar until more previews come out.

The title and story setup sure indicate a strong vein of moral degeneration going on, with a protagonist in love with his own mother, who then gets manipulated by his neighbor into believing that it's just pent-up sexual frustration, which he then goes to explore with a girl their age, unknowingly leaving his mom all alone with for the fake friend to take. It has the usual trappings of the genre with a few twists (the presence of a girl the same age as the two shotas is a surprise, though so far there's no indication whether or not she'll be involved in the sexual content).

It's already a pretty depraved setting and the art is good, but I'm not really interested in consensual Netorare. But Mom NTR is rarely not accompanied by some form of corruption, and that's what I'm expecting here. As samples come out in the coming months the tone of the game will probably become clear and then a more informed decision can be made. As I said, for now it's something worth keeping on the radar at least.

Toriko no Urara ~Otoko no Sono ni Magirekonda Ichirin no Akai Hana~

Developer: Guilty

Release Date: 2024/06/28

Artists: Akatsuki Hijiri, Noba, Saitou Tsukasa, Teeta J

Focus: Moral Degeneration, Choukyou/Sexual Training (possibly)

VNDB Page

And for the last game, one we have barely any info on. Guilty is a company with a long history but I'm wholly unfamiliar with their recent work (and by recent I mean anything in the past decade and a half). This game doesn't even have its own page on their site yet, there is a banner, but it links to a store page where there is a story summary and the image below.

The story follows Tsubasa, a girl whose sister went to work as a teacher on a boys-only boarding school and suddenly disappeared. With her best friend Sei's help, she investigates the school and discovers a lot of unsavory rumors surrounding it. And so, she disguises herself as a boy and infiltrates the school in order to find out what happened to her missing sister. As she reaches closer and closer to the truth, meeting other teachers and students, her secret is discovered by a certain someone who has deep ties to the school's dark side, and now she's soon in a situation where she has to obey him (why, we're not told in the summary).

It sounds really promising, but I'm not a big fan of what I've seen of the art. Also, it's worth mentioning the game can be purchased in a bundle with a re-release of Wanna. ~Spartan Sex Spermax!~, an older title of theirs that shares a similar concept of a heroine disguised as a boy being discovered and trained, which is why I put Choukyou as a possible focus. As for the moral degeneration, the summary is pretty clear that Tsubasa may end up corrupted by the "Garden of Men" that is the school's underbelly.

More information on this will surely come out as the months go by. The fact there's an special version with "extra/extended content" besides the regular one also has me worried. As I said I'm not familiar with Guilty but hopefully it's not one of those games that gates content behind pricier editions.

And that's it for today. Until next time.

[News] Kyousei Shihai - Character profiles and first CG previews

 A couple weeks ago I reported Bishop announced a new game, Kyousei Shihai, and promised to bring more information soon. Very soon after I made that post new information did came out but I decided to wait a while before reporting to see if more stuff came out. It didn't, so today I bring the translated character profiles and a look at the first scene previews of each one.

As a refresher, Kyousei Shihai is about a health teacher who gets the power to manipulate people's chi energy after a near-death experience and is particularly good at using it for lewd purposes. He played around with his power too much on his previous job and got fired, but luckily for him, the nature of his sexual abuse was kept under wraps. He tried to lay low on his new job, but eventually got a threatening letter saying that if he didn't get the job by the end of the semester, the truth would come out. He tries to guess who is threatening him, uses his powers on the most likely candidate (the first heroine listed below), finds out he guessed wrong, and decides that, since he's fucked anyway, he might as well wing it and try to enjoy things to the fullest before he's busted and possibly jailed.

With that in mind, he turns his sight to these five lovely schoolgirls.

Suou Miyuri

3rd Year
Height: 162cm
B/W/H: 90 (F-cup)/59/88cm
Artist: Mizushima Oonari

A mature-looking beauty who possesses unshakable self-confidence, almost like a queen.

Despite that, she acts with kindness towards others, with elegance to spare. Because her parents are investors in the school, she enjoys a high social standing on campus, being highly respected by teachers and students alike.

However, towards the protagonist alone she doesn't hide her animosity, going as far as leveraging her influence to try to drive him out of school. 

My impressions: I'm always a fan of the haughty, overconfident ones. The preview doesn't go into why she hates the protagonist so much, but I'm guessing it's just because he's a lecherous character. As I mentioned the protagonist thought she was the one threatening him, but it turns out it wasn't. Still, her fate is sealed. The scene preview brings attention to her clitoris size and sensitivity, but it's early to tell if that will be the focus of her route. I personally hope so, would be funny seeing the queen bee of the school brought to her knees through clit teasing.

Kousaka Sarasa

1st Year
Height: 160cm
B/W/H: 91cm (F-cup)/60/90cm
Artist: Kinmedai Pink

A girl with devilish charm who captivates men with voluptuous beauty unbefitting of her age.

Although she is slender as a model, she's also developed in the right places, having a coquettish figure that mixes loveliness and sexiness and makes her very popular with the boys at school.

As she's well aware of her good looks and is used to being pampered by men, she came to see the opposite sex as inferior.

In addition to that, she's a prodigy who can generally do things better than most people, but due to a lack of interest, she puts no effort into things, choosing to live lazily instead.

Conversely, she also has an earnest side that devotes herself entirely to things that she does find interesting.

My impressions: Last part threw me for a curveball. Wasn't expecting the wagamama type girl to also be secretly smart. I guess it plays in that since she has always been catered to due to her good looks, she doesn't feel like she has to put any effort? Often these profiles are weirdly put together (like how it goes "she's slim but also big boobs and ass") so we'll see, I guess. I do like that the heroine with the fullest figure is also the youngest, that's a fun subversion. 

Hard to say what her route will focus on, the preview is a lactation scene, but this isn't unique to her as we will soon see. Since in Bishop games either only one girl has lactation or they all have, I'm assuming that one of the protagonist's chi powers is inducing lactation.

Kanno Iori

3rd Year
Height: 156cm
B/W/H: 88 (E-cup)/57/89cm
Artist: Yoshino Keiko

The Student Council President who is innocent and naive despite her appearance.

She's energetic and pours that energy into everything she does, plus she's courageous and just.

Since she took office, the school regulations have been changed three times due to her putting on pressure.

She is known to rush into problems with a reckless attitude, but due to her good nature and spirit, she manages to get through somehow.

Following her heart for better or worse, while she rushes headfirst into things she decided to do, she can be a pushover when dealing with things she has no interest in.

My impressions: A reckless and immature Student council president isn't something you see every day. I'm interested. And Yoshino Keiko drew some of the best CG for Bishop's previous game (Shinshoku), so I'm looking forward to seeing them working with them again. And with a very different character type. I think this is the girl I'm looking forward to the most. Her preview scene also features lactation, so it's hard to discern whether that will be the main focus or not, but it is worth noting that the text puts more of a focus on it than on Sarasa's scene.

Asatsuki Yuuhi

2nd Year
Height: 152cm
B/W/H: 87 (E-cup)/56/85cm
Artist: Kurono Tomoaki

The star of the track and field club, to which the protagonist serves as the advisor teacher.

Although she appears quiet and emotionless, she just has trouble expressing her feelings and is actually the type who acts before she thinks.

A clumsy meathead of a girl who gets so absorbed by track and field events that neglects nearly everything else.

Due to her intense training, she's always hungry, so she became somewhat attached to the protagonist due to him giving her candy every once in a while. 

My impressions: I'm usually not a fan of expressionless girls in this kind of game, as I prefer a change between two extremes of emotions. But she sounds fun. She strikes me as a character who would be among my favorites if she was in a non-H anime, I just love this kind of gap moe. I think the protagonist's power will help her break the expressionless thing pretty fast, given the preview scene seems to be an early one and she is already showing both fear and pleasure. The scene also features some pissing, which I think Bishop games use well as a tool for humiliation.

I didn't expect to be as interested in Yuuhi as I am, honestly, especially since I'm not a huge fan of Tomoaki's artwork (what is in the previews looks good though). I hope the writing of her route lives up to expectations.

Matsubayashi Rumi

2nd Year
Height: 157cm
B/W/H: 85 (D-cup)/57/88cm
Artist: Mizushima Oonari

A Health Committee member who gives off a frail and meek vibe.

Since she often went to the Nurse's office due to small injuries, she ended up growing closer to the protagonist.

During her repeated treatments, the protagonist continued to shower her in Lewd Chi, and even though it wasn't done through the proper method, it increased the sensitivity of her whole body and made it more susceptible to sexual arousal.

As he starts acting on his desires after the incident with Miyuri, he finds Rumi's almost constant presence in the Nurse's office inconvenient, so instead he rapes her and forces the girl to become his accomplice.

My impressions: An assistant. Sort of. Only time will tell whether she will have a reduced role and shorter route as Bishop assistants tend to do, but the fact she only gets raped after the first girl and is turned into the protagonist's accomplice on the fly is interesting. She's not his slave, but if the preview scene is anything to go by, there's not a lot of resistance in there, as she gets really enthusiastic about sex with the protagonist even though it's her first time, and is left a complete mess mumbling about how good it feels. As usual, pink-haired Bishop girls are lewd.

That said, if any of the girls is the culprit behind the mysterious letter, I think it's gotta be her. Some of the wording in her profile as well as her being the closest to the protagonist and the person in the new school he's been using his powers on the most makes her a prime suspect. Maybe she's not as weak-willed and obedient as she seems at first. However, I doubt any resistance will last past the first few sex scenes, especially if she, as past assistant-type characters, has fewer scenes than the others.

So this is what information we have on Kyousei Shihai as well as some of my thoughts and speculations. Don't expect to see this game again very soon around here, as I plan to update again only when the features page on the official site (which is not open yet) is fully updated, which tends to happen one month or so before release, so sometime in late April. Then I'll be able to bring more detailed info on the game and take a proper guess at its length and content. As well as bring lots more of previews.

[News] Bishop announces their next game, Kyousei Shihai

 

Bishop is one of the big nukige companies dealing in slave training eroge, and they have been around for a long time - over 20 years. As such, they have a formula, an audience, and while from time to time they do try to experiment a bit and throw some curveballs, the often mixed reception from their core fanbase also means their bread and butter is the same as it was 15 years ago when they nailed their success recipe with the original Mesu Kyoushi: mindbreak, sexual training and slavery in a school setting, usually alternating between games where the player goes after teachers and ones where they go after students. The latest game, Kyousei Shihai, is one of the latter.

With an ambiguous title, as "Kyousei" is written in katakana instead of Kanji (as Bishop usually does), the word could have a few meanings like "correction", "compulsion", "coercion" and "sexual stimulation", while "Shihai" (支配) means "control" or "domination". This is fitting with the game's premise, as the main character has special powers that allow him to control the libido and sexual sensitivity of his targets, using that to force them to submit to pleasure, while the protagonist himself is under threat of having his actions exposed by an unknown target. 

The game follows a school nurse who suffered a grave accident that left him between life and death. Upon recovering, he discovered that now he had special powers, being able to perceive and manipulate the flow of chi inside people's bodies, particularly the one related to sexual actions, which he calls Lewd Chi. Using this newfound ability, he indulged in perverted acts until he got caught up and kicked out of his job. The debauched nature of his actions was kept under wraps to avoid a scandal damaging the school's reputation, so the protagonist eventually finds himself a new job, and now mostly stays in his lane, using his powers very occasionally and in small doses, not getting directly involved with any of the girls. However, a threatening letter is sent to him saying that if he doesn't quit his job by the end of the semester, his past will come to light.

At first, the protagonist is suspicious of Suou Miyuri, a third-year student who is always mean-spirited towards him, and after an altercation, he uses his power to drive Miyuri's sexual sensitivity beyond its limits and takes her virginity, making her experience maddening pleasure while getting raped. However, he also discovers that she is not the sender of the mysterious threatening letter. His hunch was wrong. On the other hand, having rediscovered the delight of assaulting women with the full brunt of his powers, he decides that instead of trying to track down the sender, potentially in vain, it's better to spend the time left indulging in pleasure with the girls that caught his eyes in this new school.

The six targets. Or rather, the soon-to-be slaves.

An unapologetic rapist protagonist racing against the clock to turn a bunch of women into his sex slaves before a looming deadline is Bishop's bread and butter, and said protagonist having some kind of special ability so the game has a gimmick going for it is also rather common for the company. That said, I like this premise. Instead of an aphrodisiac or another lust-enhancing drug, there's a supernatural element that, in all fairness, probably will play no different during the sex scenes themselves, but I am curious to see how it will figure in the power play between the main character and the girls. To me, the thing Bishop excels at is showcasing the gap between the girls before and after their enslavement, and their best games also do a good job of sowing the seeds of their change and seeing their newfound fetishes and sexual proclivities grow despite their resistance as their routes progress. With the ability to manipulate the girls' sexual sensations themselves, the protagonist may be able to either mold or bring out perversions in them that they won't be able to deny, and that may lend itself to some pretty fun scenarios. At least that is my hope. As usual, the game has a large team of writers, so the quality and focus may vary from route to route.

Bishop is one of my favorite nukige companies, but in recent years, between lack of free time to commit to such long VNs and some amount of burnout from having played almost their entire catalog over the years, it can be hard to find the motivation to pick up a new release. Still, I do look forward to getting to it eventually. And I still wholeheartedly recommend most of their games (a Bishop recommendations post IS in the plans), and while I don't promise a review, I will cover the lead-up to the release, as Bishop puts a lot of information about their games' content and features on their site as the months go on, and I'll translate and share the more interesting tidbits of that info. See you there.

[News] Upcoming Eroge from Valkyria, Tsurumiku, Orcsoft and more!

 A new year brings with it a slew of new games for us to enjoy, both of the regular and naughty varieties. I already have my wishlist of regular games I'll be picking up in the month of February, but that's not what we're here for. There are already a number of dark eroge slated for release between the January and March, and I want to take a closer look at some of them.

January Releases

The month is almost over, but the last week still holds some interesting releases.

Injuu Kunoichi ~Chuugi o Koeru Reizoku~

Developer: Tsurumiku ~Another~

Release date: January 26th, 2024

Focus: Rape, Bondage, Mindbreak

Official Site

VNDB Page

The Tsurumiku ~Another~ label was created to make shorter games and experiment with games that wouldn't fit Tsurumiku's usual brand. That said, aside from length and the time period, Injuu Kunoichi seems to feel right at home in their lineup. 

The plot is quite simple: a feudal lord and his subordinate suspect a spy is among their servants and decide to lay down a trap. Of course, the spies are beautiful women, a princess of the Shogunate worried about the unsavory things done by the feudal lord in question and her attendant, a ninja.

The game seems largely focused on bondage and torture, and while Another's games are known to not be as bleak as Tsurumiku's main branch it seems the girls will be put through a very rough time until they break. As per Tsurumiku tradition, it seems there are also scenes with one of the girls, broken, helping torture the other one. Classic stuff.

Shinshokukan

Developer: GENDAI

Release date: January 26th, 2024

Focus: Tentacles, NTR, Corruption

Official Site

The third game from a company I never heard of, and it also seems pretty different from their previous work. Regardless, it sounds pretty interesting: the protagonist's brother, a biologist, just returned from overseas with a beautiful half-Japanese girlfriend called Sayama Milano, and they're conducting research together at a new company. They have a very active sex live and Milano's liberated lifestyle ends up making the protagonist grow a spine and finally get together with his childhood friend Hiroya Konatsu. Life seems pretty good, but soon weird shit starts to happen. His brother who had a timid personality starts being aggressive and even his appearance starts changing - something that started after Milano started giving him some suspicious drug. Konatsu, who works at his brother's company, is also acting differently all of a sudden. So he goes to investigate, and discovers something beyond imagination - a bizarre tentacle lifeform, that assaults Milano and Konatsu, breeding them like animals and reducing them to their base femslr instincts. The protagonist is certain that everything weird going on in his life is this things fault, yet he hesitates. He has two choices - either save the girls from whatever the fuck that is or maybe let himself be taken in by the curious pleasure of watching the monster degrade women into mere breeding sows.

It's been a minute since I played something with tentacles and the idea of the protagonist choosing to abandon his girlfriend and sister-in-law for the sheer pleasure of seeing them degraded sounds interesting, as long as it plays like it's being sold and not in the "pleasure of having it stolen from me" Netorare way. Because that's not what's being implied in the marketing at all, though the game does have Netorare elements in it and scenes with other human males. Like I said, as long as it doesn't lean too strongly into it instead of the whole "protagonist gets corrupted into watching the girls get broken over and over" it's fine. Looking forward to it but with some reservations.

Isekai Choroine wa, Itomo Kantan ni Otosareru ~Are, Boku no Kanojo... Netorarechaimashita?~

Developer: Appetite

Release date: February 09th, 2024 (DL version), February 22, 2024 (Physical version)

Focus: Corruption, NTR

Official Site

VNDB Page

Appetite is one of the Nukige companies of all time. I have made snide comments about them in the past, but they really are one of those companies that just lack an identity: they do everything, and it almost always feel half-assed. But every once in a while they get a good artist and setting and a decent game to waste a few hours comes out.

That's what I'm expecting from Isekai Choroine, a game with Inoue Nanaki art, which is a love-it-or-hate-it artist to begin with but I personally like his stuff, but he's paired with a really good colorist this time that makes his work pop, so I think even people who usually aren't into his style might want to check it out.

The idea behind this game is that an Isekai protagonist just got back from saving the world, and the princess came back with him. However, back on Earth without any of his cheat skills, the former hero is just a worthless NEET again. Meanwhile, the princess is an innocent, sheltered maiden who is eager to learn more about the world, but is also extremely naive and easily tricked.

So, this is the most overly Netorare title on the list. Though it seems to play out from the girl's perspective. However it comes with a very interesting twist: depending on what types of men the princess gets involved with, this causes different physical transformations in her. Inoue Nanaki IS known for bitch-ka (bimbofication, turning girls into vulgar sluts), but the few previews the game has suggest demonic forms and other magical things that may come from the Princess' innate power as someone from another world. That's not something I've played before. I mean, there are NTR games where the guys who get with the heroine influence her, but not to this extent. And I'm a sucker for innocent little princesses becoming deranged perverts and literal demons

That said, this is appetite, I wouldn't be surprised if instead of choices it's a linear progression of guys or something. Still, art and concept alone have me sold.

Consider me cautiously optimistic.

Mahou Shoujo Sora - Saikyou Mahou Shoujo • Aku Ochiru

Developer: ZION

Release Date: February 22nd, 2024

Focus: Tentacles, Corruption

Official Site

VNDB Page

Tentacles are going strong in this early 2024. From ZION, a company specialized in monster sex and corruption, comes a game with a rather simple premise: Sora, the strongest of the magical girls fending off a demonic invasion, is captured by the Demon King and subjected to all sorts of torments. And when I say all sorts I mean mostly tentacles, but the previews show some breast expansion, petrification, and of course, the corruption into an evil form.

I have never played a ZION game before, and that's something I have to correct someday, and this may be the one since it looks more beginner friendly than some others that are more interconnected or just more complex with more kinds of monster stuff that may not be my cup of tea. ZION fans, sorry if I'm speaking nonsense, like I said, I never played their stuff, only know them from an outside view.

Kan'in Tokkyuu Yotaka ~Juuyoku Rensa, Manatsu no Hanabi Taikai~

Developer: Tsurumiku

Release date: February 22nd, 2024

Focus: Rape, Sexual Slavery, Choukyou

Offical Site

VNDB Page

Tsurumiku has another release on the list, this time from their main brand. More than that, it's their most prestigious series. Kan'in Tokkyuu is a series about a train (and its cruel conductor) that collects women and trains them (no pun intended) as sex slaves to be sold. Despite its renown, being the series that put Tsurumiku on the map and what they're most known for, they've been cautious with it, and it has only 2 mainline games, though it has several spin-offs. This is the third mainline game, so hopefully, it will live up to its legacy.

Now I have the embarrassing confession to make that I have never played this series. It's one of those I have been aware of the content and the impact but never got to play it myself When I saw a new one was coming I even downloaded the first one but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

This game takes place in summer, while the others were in autumn and winter, as the new luxury liner is meant to make the rounds through fireworks festivals around Japan, that are being revived for the first time since a global pandemic forced things to close. Yes I shit you not, there's a Covid reference here. 

Between staff and passengers, the game features 10 different heroines. Visually, everything seems to be very similar - lots of chains, anal training, the enslaved girls and staff helping break in the fools who are still resisting, and animal tags with the girls' names attached to their collars. All stuff I've seen in the previous games' CG. 

I intend to play the series in order so this is one I won't be touching for a long time, but it's easily the biggest release on the list.

Kagachi-sama Onagusame Tatematsurimasu Kai ~Netorare Mura In'yabanashi~

Developer: Orcsoft team Zombie

Release date: Marth 8th, 2024 (DL version), TBA (Physical version)

Focus: NTR

Official Site

VNDB Page

A remake of an Orcsoft game from over 10 years ago. The story is pretty simple: the main character's marriage has gone cold, and as a way to spice things up, he remembers a ritual/festival that happens in the village he was born, related to a local fertility deity. He ran away in disgust when he was young, but now it might just be what he needs. Said festival involves people wearing masks and fucking women to appease the emponymous Kagachi-sama. While the game is classified as NTR, what flavor really depends on how you play. The protagonist may be engaging in full cuckoldry having fun watching his wife be thrown to the wolves, or he may be joining in the fun seeing it as an opportunity to fuck his step-mother he's always had a crush on. He may rekindle his love for his wife, he may keep both women, or he might lose everything. It really is Netori, Netorare and Netorase all rolled into one.

I really like this kind of "fertility god festival" setting and wish it was more common in eroge, so I will definitely be checking it out, especially since it's been many years since I played the original, and I think the new art style (done by Minamoto instead of Sumeragi Kohaku) looks gorgeous.

Kusozako Maou Shoujo Akari ~Ishukandaru e Youkoso!~

Developer: Valkyrie

Release date: March 29th, 2024

Focus: Rape, Monster Sex

Official Site

VNDB Page

And for the last game we'll cover today, Valkyria's newest offering. It's an isekai where loser otaku girl Akari is summoned... As Demon King. All the demons are confused and arguing with each other because obviously, something went wrong with the resurrection ritual.

Thrown into the dungeon, the one who summoned Akari, the dark elf... Elfie (really creative day at the Valkyria office huh) explains that if she doesn't want to die, she will have to step up and become a suitable demon queen to the world.

It's not super clear why (the game has been announced just a while ago after all), but that entails a lot of interspecies sex not only for Akari but also for Elife and the oger girl Almea. Maybe she needs to rally the demon races to her cause? Or maybe she's just so pathetically weak she just keps getting fucked, who knows. With the release quite far still, this game will surely appear again in the blog once we have more details.

.

And with that it's over. That was a big amount of news, I didn't expect so many games coming out so soon. And usually, April and May are big months for releases, turn of the fiscal year and all that, so maybe even more stuff in our ballpark will be announced shortly. I'll be here to report it if you'll be here to read it.

Comiket haul, JAV schizo ramblings and what Eroge I'll cover next.

 Happy New Year everybody.

Today I want to highlight some doujin that came out in the last Winter Comiket, as well as talk about the next series of posts I'm planning on doing.

Winter Comiket 2023 (C103)

I don't live in Japan, so my access to Comiked is rather limited. Nowadays, a lot of stuff comes out simultaneously in digital form, and if I can, I support the artists I like. If I can't or if there's no digital version, I depend on some good soul scanning the works and uploading them. It's been only a couple of days, so there's probably stuff under my umbrella of interests that I'm not even aware exists yet due to not being uploaded and me not following the artist as closely as I follow some others.

Still, here's a brief summation of the stuff I got my hands on so far.

[Asanagi] Kijouin-sensei no Eromanga Nou

Asanagi jokingly described his upcoming doujin as a "pure love" one, and after reading, I get what he means. This is a mind break manga but it's much lighter than the usual for Asanagi. The characters are eromanga artists, with the titular Kijouin being a female manga artist who draws hardcore works. The protagonist is a veteran who is now experiencing a decline in his career, and is immensely annoyed by Kijouin's success as her work is heavily inspired (and he suspects, traced from) his own. In a party with fellow manga artists she gets drunk and, after a bit of matchmaking by another mangaka named Nanami, they end up going home together. However, the protagonist (I forgot his name. Every character having a real name and a pen name doesn't help) has noticed that Kijouin isn't actually drunk and is just fooling around with him, and already pissed from the work situation, loses it and slaps her. And of course, Kijouin is a huge masochist. From there things escalate to rape and mindbreak, with Kijouin becoming his willing onahole by the end of it. Kijouin has been drawing manga for just 2 years (while the protagonist has been in the business for over 10 years) and before that she was a cosplayer. When pressed about whether she even liked his stuff, a flashback does show that she found his manga when she was in middle school and became a complete masturbation addict, with her interest in cosplay coming from wanting to dress like his characters to masturbate. After that point, she does a lot of erotic cosplay amateur porn with him. It's all really good stuff, both the mindbreak scene at the start and the lewd costplay in the second half. The main leads relationship leans more towards consensual BDSM than the usual cruelty in Asanagi works, but it's still nice. Seeing Kijouin change from a manipulative and cheeky slut to a sex slave is also great. By the end she's even suggesting raping and enslaving a cosplayer friend of hers too, who in the last few pages is revealed to watch Kijouin's porn videos while masturbating. It seems the cycle is perpetuating itself at its point, as is the nature of females in Asanagi's work.

Asanagi doing what he does best

[Neromashin] Omae no Kaa-chan Ikutoki no Kao Sugee Busu da zo w 2

A sequel to his work from the Summer Comiket. Like the first, it's about a gang of ugly shotas sexually training a MILF until she breaks and becomes a depraved sex slave. There was also a dash of NTR in it, Mom NTR more specifically, as the ugly kids are targeting Yukie, the mom of a meek boy named Yuuto. By the end, Yukie is a complete wreck without any dignity left, and the bullies made a deal with Yuuto: if he brings them another hot woman, they'll let him fuck his mom. And lo and behold, the first chapter ended with Yuuto bringing his grandma (on his father's side, therefore Yukie's mother-in-law) Fumiko home.

This second chapter is all about the training of Fumiko as well as Yuuto getting his reward. As usual with Neromashin, the heroines get degraded really hard. They're also on the meatier side, which may not be to everyone's taste, but to me it compliments the mature figure very well. The ahegao and other orgasm expressions are very extreme (the title of the series translates as something like "Yo mama's orgasm face is fucking ugly, lol"), and, since this is Neromashin, there's a bit of scat. It's like he has some sort of contract with a cosmic entity that he needs to draw at least one page of scat in everything he does. But as usual, it's just that one page.

The whole book is sex, nothing really to talk about as far as plot and character goes: it's just two milfs becoming sex-crazed sluts. By the end, both are swearing to become Yuuto's cumdumps.

Worth noting that this isn't the end of the series. On the last page, Yukie's husband, who's working away from home, receives a message from his wife, and when he checks it, it's just a photo of Fumiko (who again, is his mom) getting bukkake'd while doing a peace sign ahegao, along with a "To be Continued". I'm curious to see where this goes, and how much lower Yukie and Fumiko can go. Neromashin isn't afraid of utterly destroying his girls, so I'm looking forward to the sequel (hopefully) next Comiket.

[Chouzetsu Bishoujo mine] Gehenna no Meushi

While the last two were original works, this one is a doujin based on an IP: Blue Archive. There's a lot of Blue Archive doujins this Comiket, the game is really surging in popularity, which makes me happy since I like it a lot (though I haven't touched it in a few months...). If you ever thought the game may be interested but the fact it's a gacha drove you away, don't worry, what really matters is the story content and they're completely separate from gacha stuff, sorta like Priconne. But I'm not here to evangelize about Blue Archive, I'm here to talk about this lactation doujin.

I'm not familiar with the artist and circle, but a cursory look through their previous work seems to indicate lactation is a common theme with them, so I'll definitely keep an eye from now on. With a title that translates as "Gehenna's Cow" (Gehenna being one of the factions in Blue Archiv- ok you don't care), this doujin features Amau Ako, a serious and efficient student council girl who suddenly starts lactating, blames supplements Sensei gave her as a g as the cause, and once it's proven it had nothing to do with it, he takes advantage of the situation to milk her.

Some classify this doujin as mind break and some do not, it doesn't really matter, it still goes pretty hard with Ako trying to deny and resist Sensei teasing her tits but succumbing to the pleasure of being milked and fucked. What caught my attention here is how good the expressions are, coupled with lactation it made for a very hot and still fairly hardcore doujin even if strictly speaking it isn't mind break or corruption (I still count it as sexual training though).

I got some other BluAka doujins this Comiket but they're more on the vanilla side of things, so I won't get into it.

Some other things

Not released on Comiket (it's a commercial work) but still released around this date was Fukuyama Naoto's Ore Isekai de Mahoutsukai ni Naru 5, the final chapter of a series (also known as "I became a Mage in another world", released English by *sigh* Irodori) I honestly considered abandoned at this point. With over 70 pages, this is the conclusion to the series and while I have not had the time to read it yet, it seems the usual for Fukuyama - the last resistance of the girls getting eroded and then a lot of harem sex, topped by pregnancy. This series made use of the protagonist's ability to carve Lust Crests on the bodies of the heroines to make them hornier and more obedient to him, and the previous chapters were pretty good. It's also Oyakodon, as it starts with two girls and then their mothers join the fray. This will probably be officially translated and released since the previous 4 chapters were.

Finally, the thing I was looking forward the most this Comiket I have yet to read. Kegareboshi no Kakeratachi, the epilogue to Satou Kuuki's Kegareboshi series (and also the name of the tankobon it comes in, collecting the Kegareboshi and Netokano series) which I have already reviewed, released only with physical copies, with a digital release promised to "somewhere in January or February", but nothing official yet. Since the chapter only exists as part of the tankobon, it may take a good while for it to be scanned, if at all. So all I can do is wait for a hero to upload it, or for the digital version to actually release. As a silver lining, a PV promoting the new chapter was made, showing off several scenes, and it really seems to be what I wanted - more of Ibuki's perspective on her new life, showcasing more of her slutty new self, a few months after she became Kurozuka's slave. The PV can be watched on Melonbooks, and below are some screencaps.

A JAV I'm interested in coming... Sometime, maybe.

I don't know how the JAV industry works, but sometimes works get announced months ahead of time and other times, they just show up, like it happened with Sennou Drill Motorshow Campaign Girl Hen, recently reviewed here on Dorei Cafe. And it usually takes months between filming and it actually being released.

So that's why I say there's a JAV of interest coming... Soon, probably. A few months ago, the pictures below were posted on the Twitter accounts of several actresses (Ayase Maina, Nonose Ai, Arisu Mai and Mizuhata Asami), and it's obviously from the shooting of a mind control JAV by SOD. My guess is that it's a third installment of the Sennou Ring series, but I could be, as I often am, wrong. Either way, I'm really looking forward to it. The actresses are really hot and I like the choice of slave clothing. One of the performers mentioned that it would be available in around 4 months. That would mean either late January or (most likely), February. Once there's more news I may report on it, or take the opportunity to talk about the series it turns out to be a part of as a whole (if it's part of a series at all, SOD does some one-off mind control JAV every once in a while and they tend to be among their best). Time will tell, for now check out the pics and a comparison to Sennou Ring.
