Coming soon… Season 2? Yes? No?
And I am left to continue sobbing in one corner. Well, not really. Anyway, what’s coming soon? An Ouran High School Host Club video game for PS2. Aimed at women, to boot. Unlike the majority of “renai” or “relationship simulation” video games on the market, which are aimed at a male audience, the Ouran game is being marketed towards a female audience. The game is slated for release this spring, but no specific release date has been announced yet. Ideafactory has already set up a site for the game here.” Credit: Anime News Network
No.
“Game company Ideafactory has announced that the popular series Ouran High School Host Club is being made into a video game for the Playstation 2. The manga has already been adapted into a successful anime series, and over 6 million volumes of the manga have been sold in Japan alone.

So… I don’t really know how I feel about this since I have never really encountered a relationship simulation game. It could be good, who knows. It will definitely benefit the fangirls, though!

pssh~ false hopes. this fails
I wonder what is the Japanese female market segment for dating sims. The male segment is pretty huge I’m sure.
I WOULD PLAY THIS
*cries*
I thought you meant it for real. I’d much rather have the season 2 than the game, whatever that game is.
*runs off to cry some more*
i really thought there was season 2
D:
I want this game. Like, right now.
OMG, I want the game, too xDD
I mentioned before on another blog: Haruhi totally should be obtainable — unless you’re playing as Haruhi…
As an aside, I’d buy the game. But only for Honey.
alkanphel: I’m not sure how big it is, but there does exist a female market for visual novels and AVGs. Yaoi/shounen-ai/bishounen games have been popping up every now and then, and some have even been localized for English consumption, such as Hirameki’s recent-enough license of Two-Five’s Yo-Jin-Bo.
Yeah most girls are more into the romance novels so there’s a big market for that in most of Asia, not just Japan.
Omg dont tease me like that!!! I was about to scream and saw it was about the game! Oh well, I still want the game when it comes out!!
My heart jumped for a second lol:)
ps2 game… well these Japanese produce games for anything
I still want a second season!!! >:\
I knew about this for a while. Though Idea Factory does make some good games like “Run Dim”, “Spectral vs. Generation” never did catch on and I believed someone called it “A poor man’s ‘Gekka no Kenshi’”. (I can’t remember who.) I expect this to somehow catch on. After all, “Tokimemo” does have two games aimed at girls. This sort of thing really isn’t new. (”Marmalade Boy” also had a ren’ai game a long time ago.)
-sobs with the rest-
I thought it was Season 2 when I first saw the image too! ;o;
I think I will play this, if ever XD
But I want Season 2 as well T________T
Playing as Haruhi? D:
(But..but I want a Haruhi route! *sobs*)
Argh no, it was a big tease. ’sob’
LOL Aezie is breaking many hearts with her post
Yes, Renge’s desire is fulfilled. I do wonder, how many people who might be GAR for Mori but are hiding it will buy this?
I do suspect there will be quite a few Renge-type otaku, male and female both, who’ll pick this game up anyways.
Alkan: My job is to break hearts, isn’t it? ;D Haha jk~ My heart’s also broken over the fact that there is still no Season 2
… I really really hope this comes out in the USA and you get the option of being Haruhi or making your own character.
*has been discouraged lately with rumors and such*
I’d play it….if it comes out in the UK…LOL
