[VN] Chaos; Head Love Chu Chu!

Chaos Head Love Chu Chu

I can’t believe I postponed checking this one out just because of the ridiculous title. What I expected to be just a random fanservice fandisc turned out to be a fitting epilogue to Chaos;Head main story that addresses pretty much every single issue I had with it and also offers some surprisingly good romance.

Chaos;Head isn’t complete without this and you simply have to play it if you enjoyed the original.

Positive:
Negative:
Quirky, 2chan inspired prose and dialogue
Doesn’t really offer a particularly riveting plot
Likable characters
I wish it was an eroge too 😦
Relatively good romance
Genuinely funny humor
Makes Chaos;Head complete

[Nukige] Shoujo Minority

少女マイノリティ

Nukige

Shoujo Minority is one of those unfortunate cases where a nukige tries to focus more on the story than the actual porn. The nice art and above average plot still makes it a fairly pleasant experience, but you’ll have to sit through a lot of text in between the fun parts… and most of its scenes aren’t necessarily that titillating

Positive:
Negative:
Beautiful artwork
Too much plot distracts from the adult content
Interesting characters
Most ero scenes are average at best
Above average plot for a nukige
