YOU GUYS YOU GUYS
I couldn't wait to rush home from work to tell you this
I met someone in real life who has played otome games! THEY DO EXIST
It's a newer coworker who've I've befriended and she's seen me posting about my fake love life on facebook. Today she told me that she has some dates this weekend, and I was like 'you go girl! I'm gonna live vicariously through you' and then she was like 'didn't you also just hook up with that guy Kaiji?' and I was like 'uhhhhh' and my face got red as I tried to figure out how to explain, but then she went on to say that she used to play some of those games too and I wanted to yell "WHAT YOU KNOW OTOME???" Apparently when she was living abroad she had a friend who was really into otome games and got her to try some. Her friend actually learned Japanese from playing those games (especially raunchy phrases lol), while she was just tapping things and not knowing what was going on. Maybe I'll inspire her to try an english otome game. :3
