The otome style may have originated in Japan, but it has definitely become mainstream here in the United States. Originally, they were geared at women, but they have since become popular with all genders, and many are LGBTQ+ friendly. The word “otome” is Japanese for “maiden game,” and refers to a story-based game where one of the main goals is to romance a character. In other words, this is yet another extension of my obsession with all things kawaii. While I’m not a gaming blog, and am definitely more of a casual gamer, this post is not entirely out of place given my interest in Japanese culture. However, one thing I always come back to when I am depressed is my comfort games: those games you download onto your phone and become absolutely obsessed with when you don’t have the energy to do anything else. I live with depression and, lately, it’s been like pulling teeth to get myself to write blog posts for work, let alone for the fun of it. Above all else, this blog is about being honest - so I have a confession to make: I’ve been in a bit of a blogging rut lately.
