Learning JP from otome games

I recommend "乙女的恋革命★ラブレボ!!". The language used in the game is very simple, and both the game system and the story are quite interesting.
 
I feel like not enough people are mentioning agent for texthooking.
Especially if you emulate (but not only) its by far the easiest and cleanest set up.
 
My very first visual novel in Japanese was WataJuu (私のリアルは充実しすぎている). It's a short slice of life otome and the non-voiced version is even free. Any kind of Japanese media will be difficult at first but this one has very simple vocab/grammar. There's a few jokes that might fly over your head at first but most jokes are easy to understand. I thought it was a fun play overall.

It's also hookable with textractor. I can also fully recommend the previous mention of Agent, especially for newer or emulated games. I was able to play through the entirety of Persona 5 Royal because of it.

Watajuu is such a good one its my second one I played and I fully fully fully recommend it for any beginner
its so sweet as well and surprisingly emotional at times for a dumb lil slice of life

I keep going back to this because im at N5~ level, but the hard difficulty otomes are calling mg name...i know some people say take the plunge but i just know the Kanji will be so daunting :forsaken:

Your first game will be rough no matter what!

Definitely use Yomitan for your first game, that will make Kanji less scary

oh my bless your SOUL I didn't even know about this website! I'm going to get this for chrome


:happytears: I can't thank you enough for this, I've been looking for something like this for so long!
 
If you already recognize 五十音, try those otome game in school setting, like starry sky, the difficulty should be comparatively easy, even you cannot catch one or two sentence, not gonna affect so much on the whole storyline understanding
