Heeeeeey theeeere <3 :3
I'm putting myself out there (again) to find a partner (age range: I like it a bit older, so 30+?).
Doesn´t have to be in germany (So maybe willing traveling for me?).
I'm a loyal, introverted but energetic German girl who loves to draw and sing in her free-time.
I can be shy and very anxious ( I tend to overthink things a LOT lol) at times. So I want a stable and secure man who can basically counteract that~
Once I´m comfortable with you I can be very bubbly and can talk a LOT about the things I love :3
I´m ca 172 cm tall and normal/slim build (would like to exchange pictures) also wear glasses and have long pink/blonde hair, green eyes, pale skin. My friends would describe me as conventionally attractive (Tho it is SUPER weird to write that cause it sounds kinda arrogant lol)
Also good to know: I´m not a big fan of children, and don´t want them either C: And I´m not religious! :D

What I like:

-Anime: My favourites would include: Ancient Magus Bride, Monster, Full-Metal Alchemist Brotherhood etc.
-Vocaloid: I love deco*27, Maretu & circus-P and more~
My favorite songs are changing all the time but here are examples:

• Better off worse - circus P,
• Iyaiyayo - Maretu,
• Otome dissection – Deco\27*
• Vermillion – Circus-P

But I also listen to other music (Like English covers of vocaloid songs, sometimes even K-pop) and my favorite band is mother mother (Little pistol is my fave song)
-Everything kawaii: Cinnamoroll is my fave! And I also dress cute and feminine & my room is a colourful "wonderland" :D
My favorite colours would be everything pastel, but mostly light pink.
-Games: I rarely nowadays play games but: The games that I enjoyed the most were Sims 2 , Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, OMORI & more <3
-Drawing: I love creating art, especially of my own Original Characters (That I can talk about for forever hehe)
-Singing: Is also one of my favorite hobbies <3 I try my best to cover the songs that I love, just for fun tho~
-Watching Youtube videos: I sometimes like to watch Markiplier, (I was a big unus Annus fan), also: Evan and Katelyn, Naomi Jon, The style theorists/Food Theorists, CdawgVA, Safiya Nygaard.
On a more personal note, I want to be upfront that I have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). This means I need more validation than most and can sometimes fear abandonment. It's important to me to find someone who is patient, understanding, and can make me feel secure and loved.
Big turnoff: smoking, drugs, and heavy alcohol use.
Physically I am attracted to mostly western men who have a pretty “standard build” Like not too thin, not too muscly? But I wont complain about thicker arms X3
Its SO hard to explain my “type” cause it really depends on how the face of someone looks tbh, also on sooo many more factors, ya know?
So If you:

• Are looking for something serious
• Share my interests (not only gaming!, Vocaloid music is very important to me, also anime etc)
• Are kind and patient
• Are older than me (If you haven´t noticed I´m into older men hehe)

...then I'd love to chat! Feel free to send me a DM ( I prefer the Chat and then would swap to Discord if it “fits”) and tell me a bit about yourself. ( Even better if you send a picture of yourself! :D)
Also: Please just be open and communicate with me properly, we don´t want our time be wasted on each other when its not “fitting”. And please be sure before messaging me that you ACTUALLY want a serious and committed relationship! C:
PS: Lots of Bonus points if you have a beard! Beards are amazing! <3

From playing so many games, watching so many dramas, movies, etc. I realized one of the most powerful things a piece of media can do is truly set the atmosphere it is aiming for. Excellent atmosphere has greatly boosted how much I enjoy the content i'm consuming, and otome is no different. I find when the art, the music, and writing truly come together in a perfect way, a game with even a basic or weird premise can rise up.
A game I personally give kudos to for its stellar atmosphere:
Cupid Parasite - As i prepare to play Sweet & Spicy Darling, I am replaying my favorite route from the base game. While the setting of Los York and the realms of the Greek Gods may be too wacky for some players, this game does not fall even a bit short of making you feel like you're at the center of a good romance movie. The design is so bright, bubbly, and pop art esque. The CGs feel intentional and well thought out. The dialogue is so believably written that you can feel all the emotions the characters are going through. The right music always plays at the right times. Whenever I play this, it feels like its the 2000's and i'm watching 13 going on 30. All otome games have romance in them, but i feel like no other really nails that nostalgic magic movie romance the way CP does.

Looking for soemthing new, this is a list of everything I have watched, or tried to watch and wasn't too interested. I would say about 75% of this list I have watched.
I like fantasy shows with a leveling system. I don't like "fan service", but can tolerate it if its not consistent.
Edit: there may be 2 or more shows that are not out yet, but peaked my interest.

I watched my happy marriage and Taisho Otome Fairy Tale a while back and suddenly had the urge to watch something like it.
I don't know if it was the arranged marriage part, or the depression part and finding love, or the olden era that made me enjoy it so much but I'd love something like those two.
In my happy marriage, there is a supernatural element which I don't care for too much honestly. I was there for the romance. That said, supernatural isn't always bad.
Anyways something like these two shows please.

I’m trying to find an otome game I played when I was a kid around 2012-2013. It was on the kindle fire and it had only 3 love interests (it’s NOT celebrity darling). It’s really broad in my mind but what I can remember is that it was 3 love interests, one was tall and had dark hair (maybe glasses), it involved like celebrities/stardom/managers, the MC was an eyeless brown hair girl, the art style is pretty old so I’m thinking maybe it came out before then.
I used to watch the playthrough on YouTube for the endings 😭 I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere. I think the MC was maybe working in like a talent place? I think maybe working with them, I’m not sure. One of them may have been blonde I think as well (I’ll try to remember more)
I just remember it being so good and wanna play it again!!

hey, anime! just finished watching delicious in dungeon and frieren! wondering if there's a romance with the same setting as these.
I'm normally into shoujo like kimi ni todoke, sign of affection, horimiya, ao haru ride, doctor elise, tsunelise. ive seen ALL otome isekai already, so maybe romance without the isekai? just pure fantasy? thanks a lot, if you find any.
ive also seen snow white with the red hair if anyone will suggest that 😭 thanks!

Hello! I’m giving this a chance again. I’m in dire need of a best friend to attach myself like glue and never come off. We can talk about what happened in life, our interests (like you can tell me that book you read and how the characters caught your interest!), that bitch you can’t stand. If we’re compatible we can go for matching icons and profiles on our social medias and so forth (even VCing and movie sessions). I’m also into rambling about your hyperfixations or maybe your OCs you wanna talk about! I wanna be your THE best friend for everything.
My interests are niche and weeb sadly. My current game hyperfixation is Genshin Impact and I play a few other gacha games as well. I read a lot of manhwas (otome isekai trash and male yanderes). I also read mangas, don’t really watch animes as I used to tho. I have a strong backlog of medias to finish so maybe I can get to that after my finals end this June.
Asian timezones are strongly preferred btw.
I prefer discord chat so maybe I can share you mine after you give me an intro of yourself and see if we click. Much thanks, have a nice day!

Hello! o/ As per the title, recently I've watched ensemble stars, which for those who don't know is a singing/idol school anime, featuring loads of cute twink boys + one girl. I'm slightly embarassed to say this (since the anime itself seems to be like, meh written, mostly just for cute + song + angst) and is quite cringe in general but I loved the vibe and all the spicy stuff, and obviously the characters.
Are there any other similar ish anime, maybe otome ones? Absolutely love twinks / cute boys, and any sort of mildly spicy stuff would be nice too :)

I just finished “My Happy Marriage” and would like to find something else to watch with a similar, more mature romance vibe to it. Of course nothing beats “your name” but I’m looking for the characters to be older than high schoolers and possibly more on the serious side of animation. (Side note - I tried “A Sign of Affection” and “Taisho Otome Fairy Tale” but couldn’t get through the first episodes lol…)
You guys have helped me find quite a few shows/movies 😊 I appreciate all the help!

Heeeey ! I am back with the first review for this banner ! For those who saw me fight with Reddit and several deleted posts, I am sorry, posting this was not easy 😅😅
We're starting with Artem's surfing card, so without further ado, let's start !
Card review
Artem - Ocean's enchantment
As always, the notation is subjective, especially the art one.
Art : 3.5/5 Story plot : 7/10 Story writing : 5/5 Total : 15.5/20
Review summary :
After getting a mission from Celestine, Rosa and Artem go together to the beach so that she can take pictures of him during one of his hobbies. This cozy and short vacation will give them the opportunity to forge unforgettable memories.
Review act per act :
Act 1 :
At a seaside hotel, Rosa, still not quite awake, feels an obstacle at the edge of the bed. Still not opening her eyes, she tries to push it out but "he" gets closer to her neck and tells her to wake up. She finally opens her eyes and sees Artem already dressed up for the day. She asks him why he is already up since they went late to bed. They have been working at Boatview City near the sea the past few days and they only finished working on the case yesterday afternoon. They then got into a hotel they booked there for a few days of vacation before going back to Stellis. He tells her that it's now the best time to surf and reminds her she wanted to learn surfing. Rosa complains that she wants to sleep more so Artem says they can stay in the hotel and come back again another time for surfing. She asks why not tomorrow and he says that tomorrow it will rain. Rosa suddenly feels more willing to get up, telling Artem she might not learn how to surf but she will be taking pictures of him doing so. He asks her why and she realizes she never told her why she wanted to go surf with him. She reveals that it's a mission from Celestine. One month ago, in Celestine's office. Rosa gets closer to the desk to see what her boss is showing and sees tons of pictures of Artem in his usual suits. She comments that there are a lot and Celestine says that's the reason she called Rosa. Themis is doing a directory of their attorneys and they are missing a few photos for the "personal hobbies" section. Rosa tells her she will ask him but Celestine says he won't have what she wants since he doesn't take pictures of himself. Celestine suddenly mentions that Rosa didn't see Artem while surfing, which makes her puzzled because she didn't know he was surfing. She only knew his shooting and driving hobbies. Celestine explains that it happened before she came in the company and that he looked very cool while surfing. She continues suggesting to her to take a small break after their upcoming work in Boatview City and take photos of Artem surfing meanwhile. Rosa accepts, thinking that she would like to see him surf too. Back in the present, Artem comments that he remembers the trip and it was a really good time. Rosa comments that it's a shame no photo was taken. He says that he didn't take pictures because taking one means saving the memories related to it and since he was just relaxing, he didn't need to remember it. Rosa is surprised because she didn't know he saw pictures like this. She takes his hands and says that it's different so they have to save a lot of memories because they are together. Rosa then asks why he didn't tell her he surfed and Artem answers that he never had the opportunity to do so. He gets closer to her and adds that since they have many years ahead of them, it would be more fun to explore things about him like this. He then asks her if she wants to sleep more and Rosa shakes her head while hugging him, saying that she is getting up. They agree on going out to the sea together.
Celestine is like a matchmaker happy to see her favorite couple doing couple things and pushing them. Please, never change girl.
Tho, I beg HYV to give us ONE MORE Shooting Artem card. An SSR.I t's been so long since a mention of him shooting, I would like a fully focused SSR about shooting.
It starts softly. I know it's a “Tears of Themis” signature move, but not putting any flashback would have been better for the flow and cuteness of the moment (so like, starting the card in Celestine's office, then a fast forward to them being in the hotel kind of).
Act 2 :
They gather their stuff and head to the beach. Despite it being only 8 o'clock, a lot of people are already there. Holding hands, they go closer to the sea. Rosa comments that a lot of people are surfing and Artem explains that it's a famous spot. She then notices the waves are not as big as in the promotional video, to which he explains that it's a beginner area with less waves. Artem suggests going in an area with more shade and she agrees. Then, they go to select their surfboards and Rosa notices hers is bigger than Artem's. He tells her a larger board is easier to control than a small one. She guesses that a smaller one is for those with more skills. He agrees, adding it is faster and more agile. Then, they start the lesson. Artem introduces her to basic moves, which is practicing how to catch the waves and stand up while being on the beach. Thanks to his explanation, Rosa quickly grasps how to do it. Artem compliments her and then suggests going into the water. She asks if she can and he says that practical experience is a must and not only theoretical experience and he will always be by her side. She agrees so he ties the surfboard rope on her. After a thorough check they go on the water. But Rosa realizes it's nothing like practice. Each time she tries to control a wave, she fails and falls into the water. Artem rushes to hold her and she hugs him, refusing to let go. He asks if she doesn't want to learn anymore but she answers that she just wants an intermission. Artem agrees, saying they should change position so that she doesn't get sunburnt. He turns his back to the sun, creating a shade for her. While seeing other beginners fall several times, she comments that surfing is hard. Artem argues back that it's not hard and it's simply because she is not used to it. Rosa asks him if he had difficulties learning and he says that he didn't and adapted quickly, maybe because he likes it. She realizes she doesn't know why he likes this sport, so she asks if it's because it de-stresses him or if it's for the thrill of conquering the ocean. After thinking, Artem answers that he never considered surfing as an extreme sport which conquers the ocean and what he does is challenging his own limits. Rosa wonders about the last part so he asks her what she thinks is the most important in surfing. She answers “skill and power” so as an answer, Artem places her hand on his heart. He tells her the most important thing is the heart and feel the rhythm of the waves, adapt the breathing to the sea and be harmonious with the waves. Rosa thinks that it doesn't sound like something he would say since he is logical and meticulous at work. She thinks that what he described feels really similar when Artem asks her what is wrong. She says it's nothing and she should now test if what he said is true since she rested enough. After starting again, she feels the breath of the sea like Artem taught her and ends up finding the rhythm of the waves. Rosa announces to Artem she found a wave and he congratulates her before instructing her to try to stand up like he taught her. With shaky legs, she manages to stand and move forward. Feeling free, she exclaims happily to Artem, who is watching her silently and he compliments her. But, soon enough, another beginner crashes into her and she falls into the water. Rosa, panicking, splashes everywhere calling for Artem. She hears him reassuring her but can't make up from where the voice comes, her vision as confused as her mind, so she continues to splash around. She soon strikes hard against something and she hears Artem grunting. He reassures her before grabbing her hand, taking her into his arms and dragging her out of the water. Feeling him against her calms her down. Artem asks her if she is hurt and she denies, saying she just felt dizzy. He asks if she still feels so and she denies. Remembering how she hit Artem in her panic, she looks at him and sees a red trace near his lips. She touches it, asking if it hurts, but he answers that it's fine. Rosa asks again to be sure and he reassures her before asking if she wants to go again. She answers him.... :
— No, which surprises Artem. She reminds him of the mission she has and he says he remembers, but they still have time so she can try for a bit longer. Rosa says that she is fine and she also wants to take photos for their own memories. Artem says he will do whatever she wants.
— Yes, so Artem suggests holding the board for her. Rosa says that failure is not an option, which makes him wonder why she is so strict all of a sudden. She answers that she has other plans after, which means taking pictures for themselves on top of Celestine's mission. Artem says he will do whatever she wants.
Oh wow, when she panicked and accidentally hit him, it was kinda funny actually. Also I wished she asked him when he started/tried surfing for the first time because I'm SO curious, but maybe it'll come later.
Act 3
They return to the shore, where Rosa takes her camera. Artem asks what she wants him to do, and she tells him to stand under the coconut tree with the surfboard and look at the sea. He does as she said, but unsure of the exact spot she wanted, he asks her for confirmation. She tells him to hold his pose and keep looking at her. While taking pictures, she is dazed by the sight which makes Artem ask her if she is alright. Flustered, she says that she is okay and they need to do the next pose. Rosa looks around before telling him to lean against the empty lookout platform. Artem obeys but struggles a bit with the surfboard's position. She heads over to him and help him adjust his and the board position. She is standing on her tiptoes, pressed very close to him. He asks what he should do and Rosa tells him to be in a pose he feels comfortable in. Artem repeats her words, then pulls her into his arms and puts the surfboard in a way to cut them both off from view. He tells her he thinks taking photos just of him is too boring so Rosa asks him what he wants to do. Not answering, Artem pushes her against the board and says that since its a memory shared between them it would be more meaningful to take it together. Not far from them, people seems to be cheering for the surfers, meaning many of them are going to be coming back on this part of the beach. Rosa pushes against his chest, telling him a waves are coming their way. Artem says he knows, so she asks why he hasn't let her go yet. He simply answers that they haven't taken a picture yet. He hugs her tighter and tells her to focus on him, lifting the camera in front of them. But, since he is not familiar with it, he starts recording a video instead of a photo. Unhappy about it, he says they should try again but Rosa takes the camera from him, telling him to go surf first. Seeing that there are a lot of people in the water now, he agrees a bit reluctantly. He tells her to be safe meanwhile and she answers jokingly that she is not a kid. She notices Artem doesn't seem to want to leave her alone, so she pulls out the board from the sand and urges him to go, adding how she waited so long to see him surf and she wants to take cool pictures. He tells her to stay safe and after smoothing her hair a bit finally goes join the surfers. A huge wave rushes toward Artem, which makes Rosa immediately anxious. But the next minute, Artem emerges from the waters on his board. While admiring the sight, she remembers the reason why he likes surfing. She realizes why his description felt familiar : because it's like their relationship. She snaps a photo, capturing this unique moment.
Rosa loves him so much it's soooo cute to see. And Artem is so caring and clingy, that was also cute to see. It's so fluffy aaa ~
Act 4
Once he is back, Artem asks Rosa if she could take the photo she wanted and she happily confirms she took several. She tells him she realized he likes intense sports, like driving and shooting and now she can add surfing. She continues saying she thought he was the steady and careful type but he gets further from that image now. Artem is shocked before realizing she was joking so he ends up laughing. He puts his hand on her shoulder and says that it's too late to run from him now. Rosa says she never thought about running away. At this moment, her stomach rumbles, making her realize that surfing made her hungry. Artem, holding back his laugh, says that he is hungry too. She asks him if he is laughing at her and he denies, saying instead that she is cute. After this, they get changed and head to a seaside cafeteria. The canteen is simple but well frequented, which Rosa points out. Artem explains that it has been here for more than 20 years, makes their food with local products and only opens during the summer. He hands her a menu in which Rosa discovers a flyer for a fireworks festival. She tells Artem, shows him the flyer, explaining that tonight is the last day for it and asks him if he wants to go. He agrees, mentioning he never watched fireworks in the summer. His eyes stop at a specific spot, making Rosa curious. She sees a picture of a couple playing with sparklers. She wonders in head if Artem wants to do that and as confirmation, he asks her if they can do this tonight. She asks him why M. Wing wants to do it and he pauses, not expecting this question. After a short while, he explains that when he was little, he saw a neighbor child using sparklers and the image is still engraved in his mind. Rosa teases him saying he is jealous, but Artem agrees honestly and asks her if she can fulfill his wish. She agrees, immediately thinking they need to go buy some so that they can make memories and overwrite the one from his childhood. After lunch, they go to search where to buy the fireworks. The sparklers in the city are locally sourced and environmentally friendly but after several shops, they still didn't find any. They end up in a shop converter from a residential house. Rosa rushes into the shop and asks for sparklers at the same time as another woman. They look at each other shocked, the woman sitting on a bicycle, arms wrapped around the guy cycling. Rosa asks her if they want sparklers too and the woman confirms, explaining she wants to light them with her boyfriend. The employee says they only have one box left because a lot of couples are buying them today. Artem asks if they can share them and the young employee says it's bad luck to split a full box of sparklers in this town. Rosa asks what they should do and the employee suggests a competition with the winner earning the box. The other woman asks what competition it is and the employee says they can draw lots and decide. Artem takes her hand and agrees to join like the other couple. Rosa is designated to draw the lot so she pulls a paper from a candy tin, which says "Candy Game". The employee congratulates her on getting the hardest game, and Rosa thinks about how "lucky" she is.
Okay this whole arc was SOOOOOO cute actually, it was simple, yet cute and touching omgggg. Rosa teasing Artem and he responding to it, him complimenting her, then at the restaurant how he opened about his childhood memory and how honest he was when Rosa teased him aaaaaaaaaa ! It was really cute and full of chemistry, I'm so happy about it, that was a beautiful moment !! They are absolutely adorable and comfy together. I love them so much.
On the other hand, now I am worried. What the heck is this absolutely stupid superstition ?? Why was the employee acting suspiciously like this ?? Well let's go on…
Act 5
Having to play this game to get the sparklers, Artem asks about the rules. The employee explains to them that the boys will have their eyes closed, and the girls will have to transfer a candy they have previously put in their own mouth to the other's mouth. They have five minutes to guess the three flavors mixed in the candy and they can only guess wrong once. The employee is smiling, shaking the bag of candies. Rosa says it's more of a party dare than a competition. The employee says it is adapted from a truth or dare game. Rosa gets the feeling the employee just wants them to put on a show. Rosa thinks about how embarrassing it is going to be but also about the fact Artem has no relevant experience since he rarely participates in the truth and dare. She looks at him and realizes he is also looking at her. Artem tells her they can forfeit if she finds it too embarrassing. Rosa asks if he doesn't want the sparklers anymore and he says that they can do it next time. But she remembers how he looked while recalling his memories and her desire of making summer memories with fireworks. Rosa tells him they should compete and it won't be too embarrassing since he will have his eyes closed. She also wants to make him happy since he never played with sparklers. She asks him if he is okay and Artem says he is willing to try as long as she is his partner. The other couple, seeing they agreed, also decide to compete. The guys close their eyes while Rosa is noticing the flavors are quite common except for a fruit called red coconut, which has a light flavor which can be overshadowed easily. Thinking about a way to make it easier for him, she bites into the candy and looks at Artem, who looks kind of "obedient" with his eyes closed. While blushing, she puts a hand on his shoulder, which makes him ask if she is ready. Since she has the candy between her teeth, she can't answer, so she brings it to his lips. After transferring it, she watches him tasting it. He guesses orange and grape fairly quickly which she confirms, and she tells him the last one is red but plain in taste. He tries java apple but is wrong obviously, so they have only one last chance. Their opponent has already remembered the taste but not the name of it so it makes the girl anxious, urging her partner to remember. Artem, feeling nervous too, starts to bite down the candy in pieces. Wanting to help him, Rosa goes to the shop, which is filled with natural cosmetics. She asks the employee if she has some lip balm and among them Rosa manages to find one red-coconut flavored. She buys it, as well as a bottle of water then goes back to Artem after applying the lip balm. She tells him to spit the candy on a paper and to rinse his mouth with water which he immediately does. 1 minute left. Then, Rosa puts her arms around his neck and asks him to say what her lips taste like before lightly kissing him. After some time, Artem says with uncertainty red coconut while releasing her and the employee congratulates them. The employee sells them the sparklers while the other couple, forced to admit their defeat, leave on their bicycle. Artem takes Rosa's hand and smiling, he tells her they should go back to the beach. They are back there as the sun is setting. There are only people waiting for the fireworks remaining on the shore. Artem suggests lighting up the sparklers before the show. She agrees, but wants to do a ritual before, which puzzles him. Rosa tells him to forget about it for now and tell her more about how the kids played when he was little. He says it wasn't special, but they ran around chasing each other which made it look like giant fireflies. She says it's the common way of playing with them and today she will show him something different. She takes his hand and drags him to a higher place.
I had to pause the vid to rant about this part... (sorry it's going to be a bit long so you can skip if you want to continue the review). I'm sorry, imo the story got ruined by this, I find the whole scene there so crudeeeee 😭
You know, I find the action of switching a candy with a kiss ***actually*** VERY cute, but in private. Like, when a couple does it as teasing or playfully, I absolutely ADORE that kind of scene... For example, one having a candy in their mouth and then their lover kissing them without warning, stealing the candy from them and watching them getting angry/flustered... Or the one having the candy in their mouth kissing the other, pushing it into the other's mouth and asking "How is it" while watching the other utterly confused face. Stuff like this, in private OR even in public, but at least it being a spontaneous action from one of the parties involved. But for a “dare” or a competition, in public, without one of them being the one prompting the scene like it was done there nooooo, it made me uncomfy ;;;;;;;;;; Idk if y'all know this thing, but I consider this like the garter game in weddings. I find it similar to the level of crudeness as this "competition" was. While others might find it "funny" or "traditional" or "sweet", I do not like it.
But they really wanted the sparklers to make Artem's wish come true so they had no other choice lowkey… Artem and Rosa are still kind of private with PDA too like orz
Employee/store, get a grip 😭 Girl, go play otome and watch romance drama if you want to see people kiss… It would have been SO CUTE in a different context... And they had to buy them ? They weren't gifted by the store for having done such a "contest" ? *sigh*
On the positive side, I feel like Rosa was really Rosa when she suggested a different way of playing with the sparklers and dragged him around. It really felt like her and it was great to see.
Act 6
Once she found a good spot, Rosa asks Artem to help him. She takes a seashell lying around, hands it to him and asks him to write the names in the sand. After he has carefully written the last letter, she takes his hand, which makes him wonder if he did something wrong. She denies, saying she forgot something and with his hand, they draw a heart around their names. Artem asks what's next and Rosa tells him to simply watch. She takes out a sparkler, scrape it with the shell, spraying the ignitable particles on the heart. While he is surprised, Rosa explains that she saw couples doing that on the campus but he might find it childish. Artem takes another sparkler and imitates her, saying it's not childish but also new for him. He continues saying he didn't do much when he was a student, which was academically fulfilling but lacking emotional experiences. He might have seen stuff like this happening but he didn't pay attention since he felt like it had nothing to do with him. Since he was indifferent before, he wonders if the romantic memories he gives to her are enough. Rosa says she doesn't think that way and she prefers him as a "blank slate". When Artem asks her why, she says it's because every little thing they do as lovers will feel new to him that way and the memories they make together will last longer. The moon slowly rises when Artem asks her opinion. She says that for her, all that matters is doing everything she wants to with the person she loves. After this, they decide to light up the heart to see how it looks. The fire makes its way from one end of the heart to the other, being watched by them holding hands. Rosa snaps a picture of the heart, saying that in the future, when they see this photo they'll be reminded of today. Artem mumbles that even without he will remember, but Rosa doesn't hear it, so he switches topic and asks if they should take the last sparkler out. She agrees and he helps her to light up the last one. At the same moment, the fireworks display starts, lighting up the sky. Completely absorbed by the spectacle, Rosa forgets about what she has in hand, until Artem grabs her wrist and hugs her. He tells her he also wants to do a small ritual. She is puzzled, so Artem continues, saying she watched fireworks with her classmates or friends before. He asks if they were as beautiful as the current ones. She says that they were as big, gorgeous and eye-catching as those. Artem's eyes dims a bit and, as he intertwines his hand with hers, he says that's the reason why he wants to do this ritual : to make the experience totally different from the ones in her past, so that when she thinks of fireworks and sparklers, she will only think of him. Rosa realizes he must have felt a bit jealous, which she finds cute. Getting closer to him, she asks him to close his eyes, adding she will make sure to complete the ritual since she said she wanted to make good memories for him. He understands so he agrees and she kisses him. Their kiss deepens and Rosa is soon out of breath so Artem pulls back, asking if she feels better. She says yes and, to dissipate the awkwardness, she looks at her almost burned out sparkler, which reminds her she didn't take a photo. She hurriedly tells Artem about it and tries to grab the camera but he stops her and the sparkler burns out. Disappointed, Rosa says she wanted to have a beautiful memory. He puts away the sparkler and, lifting her chin, tells her to not feel sorry. He tells her that some memories don't require anything to remember. Artem tells her he will always remember every single thing that happened today before asking her if she will forget. She denies, realizing he is right. He suggests going back to the hotel now that the firework spectacle is over and she agrees. Arm in arm, they walk towards the future together.
I loved this moment between them, Artem getting slightly jealous and opening up about him not being sure he is giving enough to Rosa… It washed away a bit the previous act. Tho when she said “blank slate”, I think it could have been worded better 😅
Personal opinion :
What I liked :
The act 4 in its entirety. It was great, so great, the small teasing from Rosa (which is *surprisingly* kind of rare in their stories now that I think about it considering how teasing Rosa actually is), Artem casually saying Rosa is cute, him asking to do the sparklers and explaining this memory from his childhood he recalls with regret/jealousy… I loved it so much.
What I disliked :
THAT scene. Like, I don't mind PDA if one of the party is doing it willingly. One of my favorite scenes for Artem Rosa is that public kiss at the end of Belle Nuit d'Amour (masterpiece of a card) because it meant so much in this particular moment. But forced PDA is such a yiiiiiiiiiiiikes. This is a huge downside of this card, I liked it until this point which left a bitter taste. They managed to salvage the card with the moment at the end but the Candy Game was unnecessary imo.
Also, I would have loved to have more background about Artem and surfing. Did he learn it before the company trip or during the company trip ? Was it willingly or by coincidence ? How did it happen ? Questions we might never get the answers to…
Would I recommend getting this story ?
No and 70% because you would need 200 pulls to be guaranteed to get it and anniversary is very close. Double SSR banners are not worth pulling except if you like both of the MLs and wouldn't mind getting one or the other.
That's it for now ! As always, do not hesitate to share your opinion about the card ! For now, I will try to do read the other card fast and do the review asap so that it can be posted tomorrow !!

I was watching this old music video from 1985 and was surprised to observe an entire Otome Isekai narrative!
A lady is reading a comic and crushing on the main character. Suddenly, she gets invited into the world of the comic and acts out a love story! Antagonists from the original plot appear, and the female lead flees back to the real world. I’ll not spoil the ending!

Hello! I want to first clarify I identify as nonbinary but use she/they pronouns.
I'm looking to check out some other games! And ignore my long backlog...
Genres I traditionally like: - RPGs (KH, Pokemon, FF, Persona, Genshin, etc) - Simulations (Sims, SDV, Sun Haven, etc) - Visual novels, especially otomes - "Cozy" games - Horror (although I like watching people play rather than playing myself)
(I don't like roguelikes or dungeon crawls.)
Consoles (I prefer handhelds): - Steamdeck - Switch - 3DS - Vita - PC
If you have any recommendations, I'd love some! Thank you for reading.

I'm not looking for otome isekai. Something similar to a fruit of evolution would be perfect tho ideally less harem lol.
Why am I looking for this you ask? I had a dream last night where the mc got abducted by a humanoid monster where she took him to her fancy mansion and fell in love in a cringy but cute montage. Notably one scene where she demands the mc to feed her pineapple off a sword while imitating an old time samurai and he went all out. All of this happened while a butler kept watching and judging them from the side lines. It wasn't super romantic is more just like "were both really fucking weird let's be really fucking weird together"
