The Spirit Hunter Series: Death Mark & NG || Visual Novel || Video Game
I'm obsessed with this franchise. I love the art style in general, but the ghost designs in Death Mark I & II and NG were cool!
Death Mark II had an interesting plot, including the "big bad" of the game. I'm fascinated by the lore surrounding them, and I really would use it for inspiration for art and lore.

I played Jack Jeanne on and off for over a year because of its massive playtime and it actually made it more fun like this. With the common route being this long and repetitive for every character, just had me revisiting the lovely stage plays and characters over and over again when I was in the mood for it.
On the mention of the plays: the rhythm game was so much fun! The amazing soundtrack played a big part in this and the emotion they conveyed with their stories. I cried every time without fail while playing the Winter and Univeil performances. 😭
It’s also one of the first games to grace us with the management system, which I have a love/hate relationship with. I always wanted to try one, but with it being really linear, if you know what to do to get to the character you want, it just a repetitive chore.
The story seems like one we’ve seen a couple of times before, with Kisa hiding her gender in an all-boys school, but it has so much heart and just an overall lovable cast that it can be as cliché as it wants to. Also don’t be fooled like me and think that there can’t be any plot twists that can surprise you 🤫
And now for the individual characters. Spoilers ahead:
∘•··················································•∘ʚ♡ɞ∘•··················································•∘
Suzu was my first route and the perfect start to the game. Right from the start you get caught up in his upbeat personality and just can’t help but fall for this cutie. He is kinda clumsy but he has so much heart and always works towards helping others out.
The chemistry between him and Kisa was just over the roof and I loved how he was protective towards her from minute one. His reaction to realizing his feelings and finding out that Kisa was actually a girl was just so wholesome and had me squealing while experiencing it.
Sou’s story was a whole roller coaster of feelings with his character development. While he struggles with himself, there are moments when I wanted to cry for what Kisa and Sou were going through but only some moments later I wanted to hit Sou so bad because of how he wanted to work through his problems. I was so glad Suzu called him out on his behavior and got him to find his place in Quartz at the end.
One of the bigger surprises in the cast. Shirota comes off as someone who doesn’t concern himself with others but he turns out to be one of the most caring characters and helped Kisa throughout the story. He observes everyone around him to help them out with their problems and grows to be a pillar of Quartz like no other. His performance in the winter play is actually the reason I had to cry every damn time. The way he knew Kisa was hiding something and him not only forgiving the character she plays in the play and Kisa in that one scene has me bawling without fail.
Kai the Jack Ace of Quartz was someone who thought of himself as someone who could only support others on stage. What I didn’t expect was his sad background and the reason why he was so withdrawn from himself at the beginning. Seeing him learn more about himself through the experiences he has with Kisa and the drive they have to get better in their respective roles was just so much fun to witness. Him having such a nice character development and actually wanting something for himself was just amazing.
Oh holy mother! Fumi won my heart the first time I saw him and this guy was everything I wanted. He is actually the one that was partnered with Kisa’s brother some years ago and the one I thought would find out first that she was actually a girl. In every route he was only supportive and actually regretted not being able to be paired with her in other routes. So seeing them finally together as a pair on stage made me emotional. 🥺
Kokuto the brain behind every play Quarts performs is my biggest surprise in this game. I never saw his background story coming and it had me chained to my controller. The inner fight Kisa has with herself because she was someone that Kokuto actively avoided had her second-guess herself multiple times. His story was so emotional, it really was not something for the faint of heart. For me, only his happy end exists in this universe and I will fight for it!
What I actually expect from the second game is a route where we can be partnered with the characters from other classes. Even if it’s going to hurt when Kisa turns her back to Quartz I really need to see more of Kasai. The dedication and drive this guy has to be partnered with Kisa is just way too strong.
And the best teacher of the year award goes to Enishi. The way he fights for his children in Quartz and how laid-back he is just had me admire him so much.
Well, these are my thoughts on Jack Jeanne. If you get a chance to play this lovely, diverse game, do give it a try! I can only highly recommend it just for its characters alone.
