Game Title: Ijiwaru My Master
Company: Sugar Beans
Release Date: 03.28.2008
Genre: AVG (18+), Otome Game
Voice: Full Voiced
Trial Version Avaliable: Yes
Story: Kurumi Sakurajyousi is your everyday average girl, until one day an underclass man and friend, Shirosaki Homura confess to her while also giving her a present. After he runs off, she opens it to find a blue rose pendant…that’s when she’s suddenly is transported to another world.
When Kurumi wakes up, she finds herself alone in a forest but suddenly meets a demon named Luca that takes her away and tries to sell her off the market for a whole lot of money, since she is a human. The two people that want to buy her is Eins, a kind blond haired dragon who wants her as a maid at a mansion, and the other is Evans, who wants to use her as research material for his master. But…Luca cannot decide which person he wants to sell you off, so he asks you to decide!
So…if you choose Eins, you’d end up working and living at a mansion of a noble demon named Leon. However Leon has just lost his powers a while ago from the demon lord for trying to steal away something precious from him, however Leon is also unable to touch another demon at all because of the curse. With Kurumi being a human, that helps with one thing, but…they then find out that Kurumi’s a virgin and they both plan to use her during the next red moon to cure Leon…with white butterflies.
On the other hand you can choose Evans, and go help with some reasearch at the laboratory owned by Delta who dislikes magic and is really intrigued about the human science and all that they do. Since you’re a human, Evans believes it’d be best because then you can tell Delta all about the human world and everything. But…Delta doesn’t believe you’re a human and things you’re a robot instead….
The final choice, is to not say anything and you’ll end up being taken to Luca’s home instead. Luca is a incubus, who has his personality change during the night. So although he may seem that aloof childish and very naive young man during the day….he turns out to be quite the opposite during the night….
Review: I have mixed feelings on this game to be honest, or well further more explained in my rant. I have to say I did like Kurumi much better then Ashe, even though sometimes Kurumi was too much of a ‘doormat’ to be at certain times. However she doesn’t have that certain attitude about that Ashe had, and I felt that she was much more kinder and sweeter too. For all the guys you get to choose, I thought it was a pretty good variety with my favorite being Delta and maybe Eins. However there were some things that I felt was unnecessary in certain character stories, such as ‘very strong sex’ like with UTM had. If you ignore those parts though, I think it was a pretty decent game, and I thought the art was as pretty as always too. There is also a cameo of Ashe in here, and she was so kind and mature sorta….;__; I wish Leni did a cameo!! I bet she locked him up in the castle so she could keep him all to herself ToT
Gameplay:
Simple and easy just like all with you just making decisions as the story progresses. However what I still wish they had was that you could like know where you are when you save. Such as with Love Drops they had the date, or with other games when they label a chapter or allow you to write a note or something.Re-playing the game wasn’t that tedious, as I felt UTM was since they had like 6 different endings with each character, the maximum amount of endings for each character was basically four and of course the skip function works fast too. (Eins and Evans only had two)
Seiyuu: I was also shocked that Ohkawa Tohru did Delta though! I kept on thinking NYX, sometimes, and they both have blue hair and glasses to boot! He did a very good job I felt, on doing Delta though it just fit right. Oh and Hamada Kenji!! I was actually pretty proud of him doing Luca….but D: I liked him better as Zero from UTM. Not only that but having him do the H-Voice for Luca during the daytime was quite interesting compared to Luca during night. That and they had three Neo-Angelique people on here haha, that was quite surprising and an interesting fact in my opion. xD
Music: Gah the music was just so pretty, I felt that in some ways it was even better then UTM. The background music was very gentle and sweet…well just plain wonderful. There’s even a lullaby that Leon (Terashima Takuma) sings to Kurumi also, which was very cute! Even though I enjoyed the opening and ending song from this game a lot, I still have to say the opening and ending song in UTM is better then Iijiwaru My Master though. For character music, I thought that majority suited the characters pretty good, with maybe a couple that were awkward to me.
Conclusion: I have to say I could play this game over again, but only for the characters that I liked a lot! (That and I can skip the stupid scenes that occurred..) I mean I didn’t get a character that I super super love a lot, like I do with Leni form UTM, but I think it was really the fact that you didn’t have Ashe making things horrible in the game D: *Spoiler for UTM* Like there, wasn’t any ending where you killed everyone in the end like Ashe did in one of the endings. That and they did have some bad stupid parts to the story that was totally unnecessary. *End Spoiler* D: It may be the pretty art that stole me away the most though, and I may be a bit too light on this also.
My Favorite Characters: Delta, Eins, and I suppose…Homura (After all that raep crap.)
Least Favorite: Evans I suppose and possibly Leon.
Some CGs:
Oh, thanks for the review. I’ve been thinking of trying this game, but… if this one also has -that kind of game-, I dunno anymore. ^^
Oh, thanks for the review. I’ve been thinking of trying out this game, but… if this one also has “that kind of sex”, I dunno anymore. ^^
Aww.. yay for your first review! <3 I realy enjoyed reading it! :D Haha, I also like Delta the most.. and Lucas! Though his daytime version is a little too much.. haha. XD
I still need to finish all endings, no time.. *sigh* Anyways, I hope to read more of your reviews soon! ^____^
taiyaki – Thanks~ But yea there are some routes that you can’t avoid ‘that kind of sex’ sadly -_-
Milki- :D thank you, I’ll be posting some more soon since I recently finished a lot~ I liked Lucas too, but yea his daytime version made me want to slap him and make him talk faster sometimes.
Thanks for the reviews. And seeing some of the Cgs, You’re making me want them even more >.<
Who is the blonde bishounen? I would go after him. The guys are cute.
No problem ^^ haha, the blonde guy is Ains *O* but if you’ve played UTM he does have a stupid totally unnecessary scene in his route. But if you ignore that….
*_______* AINS IS SO MUCH LOVE.
oh lol, I totally forgot I had a wordpress account.. (Milki here.. kinda obvious..) and OMG I haven’t been looking here for a few days and now you made like A BILLION updates… O_O
*coughs*
Anyways, don’t you think Lucas’ VA is kind of amazing? I mean.. how he manages to do the horrible daytime voice and the sexy nighttime voice… awesome, lol. :>
Now, off to commenting your other reviews. <3
Hello again 8D~ Haha yea I actually had a couple done by the time I posted this up…but I just didn’t have any CGs ready on it….so that’s why I probably went BOOM on updates xD
Yea *___* I have to say he was, lol I mean even though I was even surprised he managed to do an H-Voice as daytime and nighttime lol….
:D thanks I’ll look forward to them~
At first it was hard to choose between Delta and Leon, but Leon was SO clingy in his endings. And Delta, well I have a soft spot for the glasses types. =)
*[]* Thanks for the reviews… I wanna get the game but… I don’t think I can… T.T But this game is so interesting!!! >.< Just wondering but why does Homura look…so mean in that CG?
Is there any guide for this game yet anywhere? D:
I’m missing some CGs…
I liked your review of the game even though you hate the characters I love, LOL.
thank you for the review now I understood a little bit more <3
but I still need a walkthrough for this game to get my ferfect ending!!! xD
I’d just like to say that I LOVE HOMURA! But not Franz. It’s odd, but Homura’s ending (3) was the best.
After Homura the one I liked best was Evans for being an excellent yandere and then Leon for that sad sad story he had (the one Kurumi decides to sacrifice herself for Leon). And I hated Delta. I liked the ending where he went with Kurumi to the human world, but hated the process where he treated her like an object, but when he treated her like a person at the end she turned into a doll and I hated that ending so much!
Also Ashe looked like a bug. But she didn’t look that great in UTM either, so meh.
I didn’t know it was Zero though! Wow! His slow~ way of~ speaking was~ really very~ very~ annoying~ I could~ punch him~ for every time~ he talked~ and I ended up reading faster than he was talking so I skipped most of his lines, in ways of speech, yoru no Ryuka was so much better, but hiru no Ryuka was so much cuter.
Also, I had to replay the whole game just to see those scenes where Lucas is supposed to come over to the mansions, but instead comes Homura if you’ve thrown him to the demon world with you. I squealed~
Homura and Kyle are mai waifus.
Oh, is that picture a harem ending? Is there a harem ending? :O I MUST GET THE HAREM ENDING. I AM missing some scenes (mostly bad ends, because I’m too much of a chicken to see the bad endings D: Especially for Homura. Not after the bad Evans ending, that was horrible; Oops, hakase isn’t interested in you anymore, I’m not either teehee~. Fuck you Evans D; Kurumi stayed here for you!)
Unlike you, I didn’t care for Kurumi too much, she was pretty bland and very much like Mikuru from Suzumiya Haruhi. Like… Exactly alike. Even the name and… Everything, damn, she’s a copy of her. But she was so much less annoying than Ashe and I could actually understand why people fell for her when I really couldn’t understand the people in UTM.
Another note; Homura may have horrible rape scenes, but if you ignore the Franz crazy jealousy moments, his story is the most beautiful.
Are you talking about the one where he made her drink that tea? Oh wow, that was something. Hirakawa Daisuke suddenly turned into total Makoto mode in his voice, it was hilarious.
Actually, ever since then whenever I hear Homura (or oniichan from Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo!! [btw, why don't you have a review for that? Great game!] or even Irie from Itazura na Kiss) all I hear is Makoto (School Days).
I just noticed, but I sure typed a lot there, sorry.
Do you know how to unlock Franz/Homura? He’s the only character I have to get. I’ve already used Peche and La Primvera and they only tell you the choices to pick, not how to get those choices.
