April 2025
I loved this Dogenzaka game. I've been writing quite a few reviews lately, Destiny princess, my butler, pub encounter, office lovers and now this one. To keep things short I've gone down an otome rabbit hole of Dogenzaka Games and I am loving the games I've played by them so far. The Good: The Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya is really well done, each route has such variety and creativity put into them I loved all the Characters so much. The characters and stories are so well done it was really hard to rank them, and have a favorite!! After playing each route and seeing the characters full personalities, they are each very well written. These Men are forced to be courtesans and as I went through the routes it is very sweet to see how much they care about each other and would help each other out even though they are technically in competition with each other. There is a strong bond that all these men share and when you get deep into each route you can see the respect and care they feel for each other. The romance was of course good and spicy but the friendships really made me cry. ALSO the MC is really kind and thoughtful, she is timid and shy but I personally didn't find her annoying. I liked the MC + She has a stunning character design.... I was pleasantly surprised to see she was very pretty AND Busty, that's right the MC is representing the girlies with back pain (she didn't look like a kid so yay!! its always a weird when the MC has a VERY childlike frame...) The Bad: (For me personally I found nothing bad, so I'll talk about the trigger warnings) Sexual Assault, Dubious consent, and uncomfortable/degrading comments were the most triggering things I saw. Sexual Assault is mild (not in every route), Dubious consent is high (present in every route), and Uncomfortable/Degrading comments is high (I believe its in every route). Quick note about the degrading comments, 95% of them were against the Men, not the MC. I wont even lie some of the women in the game are really degrading towards the men, treating the men as property that can not tell them No. But I'm glad they didn't gloss over this, anyone can be creepy and degrading its not a gender exclusive behavior. Anyone can be a victim to this behavior no matter the gender. Some of those women in the game give absolute predator vibes.... especially to poor Kagerou I was sooo uncomfortable for him (He's not underage but the comment was talking about a time when he was underage...) . It is not the most comforting thing to read at times but it is accurate for the situation these men are in, men can be victims too. Final thoughts: I loved this game but not everyone will agree and that's okay because we all enjoy our own content. Hopefully the trigger warning section will be helpful for those who are weary. I'm off to play the 2nd Yoshiwara game!!! <3 <3 (This is unnecessary info) But I wanna rate the Dogenzaka Lab games I've played so far!!! 1. The Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya (The characters are so. well. written.) 2. Destiny Princess (The General and the Assassin!! <3 <3 <3) 3. Pub Encounters (Sweet and Unique <3 <3) 4. Office Lovers (So Funny and Cute <3) 5. My Butler (Comical + I enjoyed that one route very much... but then again that other route still traumatized me...)
