VOLTAGE OTOME TRASH

I created this blog to post some voltage walkthroughs that I am unable to find online and to keep track of them in case I need them later. There's a link above to my master post where you can see which ones have been posted so far. Please don't repost walkthroughs without crediting me or asking for permission. Thanks.

Hello! I wanted to ask if you have a walkthrough for Yuri Kazumoto from Destind? Have a great day :)

I don’t have enough hearts/money to use so I haven’t even touched any of the routes for Destind. It’s unlikely since I can barely get to the Masquerade Kiss and Romance MD stories on time but Yuri Kazumoto looks like an interesting character 🥺

[votometrash]

Hi did you have this cg ? If yes Please share 🙂

Sorry, maybe it’s because I haven’t logged in for a while so the campaign isn’t showing up for me? I don’t see it in my campaigns list for MK and I don’t know where else to find it ;o;

[votometrash]

Thank you so much for the walkthrough and for the reminder that there are coupons! You saved me time and money. :)

You’re welcome! Glad I could help ☺️

Kaede Ekuni Main Story Walkthrough

Romance MD Season 1:

Disclaimer: All CG’s belong to Otome Romance (Voltage Inc.)

LMAO KASUMI JUST WANTS THE TEA WHILE TAKADO IS JUST DONE WITH MC’S SHIT AND KAEDE STEALING HIS INSTANT RAMEN. SEN IS SUCH A MOM TO KAEDE AND KAEDE LOVES HIM. EICU shenanigans always get me going. 

Man, Kaede is one eccentric cutie. All of the Romance MD stories have a sad back story, all very compelling and unique in their own ways. But we get to understand why our boys are the way they are. I do wish this story had more interaction with Kaede in it because it feels like things didn’t start building up until the end. I wanted to see more of the development between MC and Kaede cause it feels like it was very one-sided even up until the end. Don’t get me wrong, this story was good in its own way. Both Kaede and MC had me hollering from secondhand embarrassment but man everyone in the EICU is hilarious.

Though I must say, the 2nd year anniversary RMD LC coupons are a god send holy moly. I’m so glad I didn’t read the story right when it came out because they are only good for the month of August. We get SIX LC coupons worth 10 hearts each like... THAT’S $6 OF FREE MONEY RIGHT THERE. Plus we have until 9/15 JST to get the collector’s edition. So if there are any of y’all who still haven’t read the story, now is a great time to do it.

In order to get to the SHE, you need 25 points. With the six LC coupons, your total spending only comes to 73 hearts. If not, you will need 133 hearts (but still a pretty low amount compared to the usual LC tbh) to get the ending. The asterisks (*) will denote the choices I used my LC coupons on, but it doesn’t matter which choices you use them on as long as they cost at least 10 hearts. Also, just like in Kasumi’s route, there were hidden freebies, what a great find. Happy reading!

Episode 3: 5 hearts (+1, CG)  Episode 4: “You get hot easily, huh?” (+1) Episode 5: 6 hearts (+2)  Episode 6: “I should help him.” (+1)  Episode 8: 8 hearts (+1) Episode 9: “Use a pen that can’t be erased.” (+1)  Episode 12: 13 hearts (+3) * Episode 15: 22 hearts (+1, CG) *  Episode 16: 12 hearts (+3) *  Episode 17: “That’s exactly right.” (+1)  Episode 18: 10 hearts (+2) *  Episode 19: 12 hearts (+2) Episode 24: 9 hearts (+2) Episode 25: 17 hearts (+3) * Episode 28: 19 hearts (+1, CG) *

Hi would you happen to have a walkthrough for Kaede Ekuni? :)

Hello hello! I was actually planning on posting the walkthrough for Ekuni a little bit later this week, but it could be as soon as tonight or tomorrow. I have work today so I’ll see if I have time. Please check back later :)

Yuzuru Shiba S3 Walkthrough

Masquerade Kiss Season 3:

Disclaimer: All CG’s belong to Otome Romance (Voltage Inc.)

*silently drops walkthrough here*

If you thought I was gone, you thought wrong. Yuzu is the reason why I’m awake at 1AM writing up this walkthrough. All I have to say is please just read the story and you’ll enjoy yourself ok bye. (Also, no LC coupons for the season 3?? Lame... I don’t need LC coupons for seasons 1 and 2 /sigh)

As usual, you will need 15 points to get the SHE and 20 points for the EE. Readers have until 8/9 JST to get the EE and earn the collector’s edition. My walkthroughs are written under the assumption that you want the CG’s as well and will give you the least amount of hearts needed to get each ending. 

To get the SHE, you will need 115 hearts:

Episode 3: 7 hearts (+1) Episode 4: 18 hearts (+2, CG) Episode 5: 12 hearts (+2) Episode 8: 7 hearts (+1) Episode 11: 20 hearts (+2, CG) Episode 16: 7 hearts (+1) Episode 18: 24 hearts (+3, Yuzuru's POV) Episode 24: 20 hearts (+3, CG)

To get the EE, you will need to choose the above choices, as well as the ones below. This will require 155 hearts total:

Episode 9: 17 hearts (+2) Episode 14: 8 hearts (+1) Episode 23: 15 hearts (+2)

[votometrash]

Thank you for walkthrough for Kei. You are lifesaver ❤❤❤

You’re welcome 💕

Kei Soejima S3 Walkthrough

Masquerade Kiss Season 3:

Well, at least Kazu isn't calling Kei out about his kinks again...

Disclaimer: All CG’s belong to Otome Romance (Voltage Inc.)

You can trust that I will rise from the dead if there are any stories being released for MK or RMD. I love the 3S boys and they’re as precious as they are hilarious, with Kazu poking into Kei’s affairs and calling him out for his *ahem* hobbies while Yuzu is mostly there for the ride. I have been waiting for Kei's Season 3 and boy it was an emotional rollercoaster. We've come a long way since season 1 and my boy has changed so much since then. In this season, it actually feels like MC is an agent, you know? I've always been hoping for more action and it's also great that Kei is actually constantly present throughout the season. I also like that they tried to incorporate more of Kei’s POV in the actual story instead of just in his POV story.

  Until 3/31 JST, readers will receive a bonus of 10 hearts if they read the first 10 episodes of Kei's season 3 (1 heart is automatically rewarded after you finish each episode). To get the collector's edition, you will need to read the premium ending, or Escape ending (EE), by 5/17 JST. Like usual, you will need 15 points for the SHE and 20 points for the EE..

Note #1: Typically I will choose only the choices that get me the most optimal route to fully minimize the number of hearts spent, but in my first playthrough of the story I chose the 8 heart option in episode 19 to get Kei’s POV for more content. So this is optional, but you can replace this with the 7 heart option in episode 2 (I know it’s only 1 heart less, so it’s up to you. Plus it will make the heart count an even 110/150 depending on the ending you choose).

Note #2: The game might glitch on you for Episode 19 on the second heart choice. If the heart countdown meter does not show on the left corner of your screen, then choose "Run away." and you will be prompted to choose again. Choose the heart option the second time around to get the +3 to actually register on your meter. For some reason, it doesn't register on the countdown if you pick the heart option the first time it shows up (or at least that's what happened to me).

To get the SHE, you will need 111 hearts (101 paid hearts + free reward hearts):

Episode 6: 18 hearts (+2, CG) Episode 9: 14 hearts (+2) Episode 10: 15 hearts (+2, CG + POV) Episode 15: 12 hearts (+2) Episode 19: 8 hearts (+1, POV) + 28 hearts (+3, CG) Episode 23: 16 hearts (+3)

To get the EE, you will need need to choose the above choices, as well as the ones below. This will require a total of 151 hearts (141 paid hearts + free reward hearts):

Episode 16: 17 hearts (+2) Episode 24: 23 hearts (+3)

Is your banner a CG from a story or something you made? It’s beautiful!

The banner is a completion bonus CG! It’s from Rin’s season 1 in My First Last Kiss if you buy all his season 1 stories ;u; I particularly loved the colors and art style for the completion bonus CG’s for all the guys for both season 1 and 2 but Rin’s was super cute and suited the layout of my blog so I just had to use it as my banner 🥰

[votometrash]

I'm reading Kasumi's story rn and I'm at like chapter 10 and I'm alread crying so hard I see my phone blurrily... wow

Stay strong!! The story hurts so good but it was so worth it 😭

[votometrash]

So for Romance MD the heart choices I chose in the playthrough stay unlocked in the CE, right?

Yep, they should stay unlocked even if you don’t get the CE. You’d only want to get the CE if the story has a high replay value. The only thing the CE gives you is the ability to reread any chapter you want (i.e. you don’t have to start over from the very beginning just to read the ending) and get through the whole story without wait times.

[votometrash]

Do you happen to know, if I get the CE stories, but I don’t buy every heart choice while obtaining the stories, later when I’m playing, can I buy more heart choices and will they be unlocked forever in the CE? Or only the choices I make while earning the CE will stay unlocked?

Ah yes, so let me explain a little about how collector edition stories worked before and how they work now.

When Love Choice first started, for the first season of Masquerade Kiss they would actually award you the CE as a separate story that has its own page when you look at the list of available stories to read for the character. If you obtain the CE, then the heart choices that you bought from the normal story in your initial play through transfers over to the CE and stay unlocked. Then you would only buy and unlock the heart choices in the CE (because you would obviously reread the CE, not the normal story where you’d have to wait to read the chapters one by one). If you buy any heart choices in the normal story AFTER obtaining the CE, it will not transfer to the CE. On that same note, any new heart choices bought in the CE would not transfer over to the normal story either but they would stay unlocked in the CE once you buy them.

Unfortunately the only LC titles I have read are Masquerade Kiss, Romance MD, and Professional Boyfriend so I can’t confirm if any of the other older LC stories have the old story structure with separate CE. But for the titles I have read, they only did this with the first season of MK before switching to the new CE structure.

Moving on to how CE works now:

It’s different now because when you read the newer stories and get the CE, the normal story will automatically CONVERT into the CE and you will see that it says Collector’s Edition in a little box below the CG on the story page. So now you don’t even have to worry about which version of the story you’re reading when you’re buying heart choices. So going back to your question, yes once you get the CE the heart choices you chose in your initial play through will stay unlocked forever and you can always go back if you skipped over any of the heart choices once you get the CE. Any new heart choices you buy after getting the CE will stay unlocked for good. There is no worry about heart choices not staying unlocked because there’s only ONE version of the story now, which is the CE.

I hope that explanation makes sense and if it doesn’t, please let me know and I will try to clarify any points you don’t understand! I just woke up so my wording may be a little funky because I’m not thinking properly lol.

[votometrash]

what are your favourite stories plot-wise and who are your favorite voltage inc men? can we get a top 10 list or sth please? 😄❤️❤️

LMAO that is a hard question tbh. I think my favorites change but I will try 🥲 Honestly, the weak pushover MC puts a bad taste in my mouth (I know not all routes in one title have a weak MC, it varies) and some of the older titles have fallen out of my favor so you will see that my list of favorite stories are the more relatively new titles.

I’ll tell you one that is definitely NOT on my list: Kissed By The Baddest Bidder. And before anyone hollers at me I’ve read the main story for each character and I know they go through character development so it gets better, but that doesn’t stop me from hating the fact that the MC was stuck in a literal cage and how they treated her like an object for sale at the beginning. And somehow she just puts up with all the shit that happens because she has no power to do anything. And did anyone ever watch the promotional video with Eisuke’s English voice LMAOOOO it was so bad. Oof sorry I went off on a rant 😅

ANYWAYS HERE ARE MY CURRENT FAVORITE VOLTAGE MEN AND TITLES.

I am not going to put them in order because that’s too tall of a task for me to wrack my brains on how to rate them 😭 I love them all but you can probably tell what kinds of stories I like after seeing my list lol

Top 10 Favorite Stories:

Romance MD

Masquerade Kiss

Irresistible Mistakes

Kiss of Revenge

Her Love in the Force

My Last First Kiss

Our Two Bedroom Story

Scandal in the Spotlight

Star-Crossed Myth

My Forged Wedding

Oh boy, choosing which Voltage men I love more is so so hard. There are so many good ones even if I don’t completely like the story or MC. So for that reason, I’ll choose at least one from each of the titles I chose as one of my favorites to make it a little easier on me.. because even if I give you a list I don’t know if I’ll be happy with leaving the other ones out 💀💀💀

Favorite Voltage Men:

Toshiki Kasumi (RMD)

Sentaro Kyogoku (RMD)

Tsumugu Kido (Two Bedroom Story)

Toma Kiriya (Irresistible Mistakes)

Kota Igarashi (Scandal in the Spotlight)

Hideki Ishigami (in both My Bodyguard and Her Love in the Force)

The 3S: Kazuomi, Kei, and Yuzuru (I know that’s sort of cheating the list but I love them all the Masquerade Kiss boys equally)

Yamato Kougami (one of the first voltage stories I ever read so he remains a favorite)

Soichiro Irie (Kiss of Revenge was probably the very first title I read bc I am a sucker for revenge stories)

Takemune Kitami (My Last First Kiss, Ichiya and Rin are also my favorites so it’s hard to decide omg)

Leon/Scorpio (the main dudes of Star-Crossed Myth when the title released, the others don’t hit the same but Aigo is a cutie)

Anon pls don’t hate me for being a train wreck bc you made me really question myself LMAO. Hit me up with more questions if you want me to elaborate on anything haha. Honestly there are so many Voltage men that it’s so hard to just choose a few 🥺

[votometrash]

Hi, thank u SO SO SO much for the Toshiki Kasumi Walkthrouh!! i usually don't use my hearts (I really hate Love choice >:() but somehow I really want to spend hearts for him <33 SO THANK U I HOPE U HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK ILY

You’re welcome! And I’m with you on that one, I don’t like it but somehow these love choice stories just end up being too good to pass up. Especially Kasumi’s. I hope you have an amazing week too 💕

[votometrash]

Not a Walkthrough, But

I’ve been compulsively checking the love 365 app for the past two days because I know that Kasumi’s POV story will be released soon and I’ve also been rereading all the stories for the other RMD guys (as well as Masquerade Kiss bc the main theme song is a bop). Everything about RMD pulls me a little further out of whatever sinking pit of depression I’m in and the comedy slaps, quite honestly.

Edit: I’ve read Kasumi’s POV but it just wrecked me even more LOL. It hurts :’)

[votometrash]

Hi! Longtime follower here, I’ve always wondered which otome game your icon is from

Hello! Thanks for being a follower by the way c: I’m always glad to hear from people so that it doesn’t feel like I’m just throwing stuff into the abyss that is the internet haha.

My icon is actually fanart of a character from an mmorpg game that I play with my friends (it’s called Dragon Nest). My main is an archer, which is why I chose this icon.

So it’s actually not related to any otome game, but I do wish there was an otome with cute art and a main character like this!

[votometrash]

Hi! Thanks for your walkthroughs, they’re a great help. I ant to conserve my hearts so you’re a true blessing. Question, though. With the coupon for 10 hearts off, do you get to pick what LC you use it for? Or does it automatically get used on your first LC even if it’s a low heart choice like 5 hearts? Do I need to play through the first time skipping low heart choices until I get to a choice that’s 10+ to optimize my coupon and then go back and play again to pick the lower heart choices? Sorry I’m new to LC lol. Thanks for your help!

Hi, no worries I’m sure many players new to LC have questions so I’m glad to help!

When a LC coupon is available to use, you will see that while you’re reading the story it will have a little speech bubble next to any given LC choice for as long as the coupon is unused and it tells you that you can use the coupon there. So this means that they don’t restrict you on which heart choice you can use it on. That is why you should use it on a heart choice that is at least 10 hearts, otherwise you wouldn’t be making the most out of it.

And to answer your question about skipping the low heart choices on your first play through, you don’t have to do that because the coupon isn’t automatically applied when you choose heart choices! When you click on any heart choice, it will ask you if you want to use the LC coupon. So you just have to click no, and then move on! Just be careful when you are doing that, in case you accidentally use the coupon before you actually need to use it lol... I suggest you use it on the first 10+ heart choice you see in the walkthrough so that you can get it over with and not worry about it anymore.
