The Men of Yoshiwara: Ohgiya

Each route is pretty short but the overall story is well-written. I like the art and all characters. But how Musashi doesn't have a route of his own?... It pained me every time seeing him holding back his love for MC. Please add Musashi route too!!!

Not my cup of tea

Gakuto could enact his revenge on me anytime ;)

I'm going to keep this as short as possible because I've already spent way too many hours playing these two games. I can definitely say that this game is better than the first one, indefinitely? But the problems that Kikuya had also somewhat carry over to Ohgiya. I do not recommend this series... they really... they're truly disappointing in every sense? Like no matter what you have signed up for or thought you'd get from these games, they ALWAYS fail to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deliver. If you want smut, it's boring/uneventful/not really the main focus. If you want good characters, they (almost) all have some kind of twist to them that makes them VERY unlikeable in my opinion. If you want a good story, it's littered with unnecessary drama and badly handled character motivations. The plot is filled with holes. The worldbuilding is more solid than it was in Kikuya, but it's genuinely still baffling how much I have to turn my brain off to enjoy this. Even when I did, I couldn't fully even have a just mellow, normal, dramaless route, because it just... was chock filled with those. The side stories really don't add anything to the love story and whatnot. The only route I've somewhat liked is Takigawa's, and I wasn't even sold on him beforehand. Everything disappointed me, and the price tag of this game is just not worth it. I'm a completionist so I forced myself to suffer through everything and read all of it before I inflicted my judgement upon it, but it's just CRAZY how much lost potential this game (and Kikuya alongside it) has. Somewhat infuriating. If Musashi ever gets a route/dlc/whatever (he probably won't), I will play it and then die on the inside if it's as bad at the rest of the routes. Like, if you want to spend money on something, spend it somewhere else honestly. This game and the previous one are not worth it. If you STILL want to play one of these two games, then choose for Ohgiya, so you escape the SA and the other potentially triggering scenes in Kikuya. That's all I have to say.

história monótona, protagonista sem graça, pior do que o tipo batata (que as vezes ainda é bom), e arte feia da ********. a falta de dublagem também enterra esse jogo, e é algo que nem me importo tanto se for um otome game bem feito mas isso aqui é péssimo. até hoje ainda me pergunto por que diabos gastei dinheiro nisso

its a good read! I chose Utsusemi as my first interest and was not disappointed. The CG's are very lovely and the flirtation is quite endearing. my only gripe with the game is that the 'Spicy" scenes are rather tame compared to what was advertised. not bad but i wanted to see his peen. alas. Good Read!

I have played several visual novels (Amnesia, Cinderella Phenomenon, XOXO droplets, Dandelion) and The Men of Yoshiwara: Ohgiya is my favourite. I really liked the female protagonist, not a doormat/bland slate like in most visual novels. I also like the male characters, they are more complex than what you initially see, and have nice backstories. The only thing that it misses is a route for Mushashi. *I mostly played this game offline, that's why the amount of time I played it looks so low.

💮🌸💮 I really liked this, honestly. I wasn’t expecting anything amazing, especially given how cheap it was on sale but I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the story. It’s definitely a matter of personal taste, and this kind of genre is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The scenes played out just how I imagined they would. So far, I got Asagiri’s “super happy” ending, and while I did enjoy it, I can’t deny something still feels a little off. Like others have mentioned, I’m not a big fan of him continuing to take on clients when we’re clearly a thing now. But I get it—it’s his job, and in a way, he’s doing it for you, to help you rebuild your shop. Still, it leaves a bittersweet taste. This is a nice little game if you’re in the mood for something cute and light perfect if you want a quick romance without heavy drama or complicated mechanics. I’d definitely recommend picking it up during a sale; it’s a cozy experience worth the price. 💮🌸💮

THIS IS NOT A CORN GAME. Sweet, simple, cheesy read and I'm eating it all up. Considerably more polished than Kikuya as to the writing & dialogue. However, [b] THE LACK OF CGs ARE A CRIME [/b] (Only 3 to 4...? per route). I love that the MC is not a doormat, she's considerably bratty at times [spoiler] & i love the business minded aspect though shallowly put at times [/spoiler] and her personality differs with each route as opposed to Kikuya's Mary Sue MC that just drives the immersion away. Anyways, for route recommendations: Asagiri's route tackles the dynamics of Yoshiwara and the Mc's feelings quite well [spoiler] as he basically ♥♥♥♥♥♥ himself out to help MC's family, and MC struggles with seeing her beloved be pimped out [/spoiler]. Props to Asagiri for knowing what he wants, who he is, and being more of a fleshed out character tbh, very refreshing. Also, [spoiler] very steamy route [/spoiler] Moving forward, Ageha's route is absolutely adorable first romance type of stuff, it felt pure despite the suggestive CGs, which by the way are top tier, Ageha's CGs beat Asagiri's imho. Felt like watching a cute puppy love turned into more. To end though, one last complaint, or two: IT IS A CRIME THAT MUSASHI DOESNT HAVE A ROUTE, I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH WHOEVER MADE THAT DECISION, also, maybe just me idk, but Utsusemi's sprite could have been improved upon :/ .
