:)

I haven't posted in a while, have I? It's because I've been busy completing Diabolik Lovers and I thought I'd finish the last two routes until I wrote another blog post. But I haven't finished yet, I'm almost there though.


Prepare for a massive dump of thoughts on Kanato's route, plus Laito's, even though I haven't really finished it yet.

(I dunno how much I'm gonna be able to write because I haven't played it since this morning, it's not that fresh in my mind now...)

Spoilers down below!




I came into the game being really uninterested in Kanato. The only thing I really liked about him was that he's voiced by Yuki Kaji. Even though I usually like yandere characters, I thought that Kanato looked like just an annoying little boy. It blew my mind when I found out that he wasn't even the youngest Sakamaki brother!

But I somehow finished his route liking him. I don't know how, because he didn't exactly treat Yui very nicely, but something in his personality appealed to me. Near the end when he started to act a bit more yandere I was getting really into it. His route also happened to be the easiest one for me to understand with my crappy Japanese skills, so that's quite good. I think that the hardest routes for me to read were Ayato's and Reiji's, because they seemed to use more difficult words than the others.

I just wanted to give Kanato a big hug many times throughout the story, except at the beginning because he was a little shit then and I wanted to punch him. It seemed like every single chapter he was blaming Yui for stealing his stupid teddy. At least at the end he burnt it and decided to obsess over somebody real instead.

I'm pretty sure though that Ayato came up to mess around with Chichinashi  Yui at one point and I really wanted him to come and save her, but of course Kanato came and told him to keep his hands off her. It seems like there's a scene like that in every route. All of the brothers are super possessive over Yui, but I don't really care because I like that in my virtual men.

Playing Ayato's route first where there's blood sucking in almost every chapter made me expect the rest of the game to be like that, but in the other routes there's really not as much of it. I also expected Kanato to lock Yui in a cage or something, but he only just locked her in a room and acted really possessive and jealous.

Kanato, like his brothers, was also mistreated by that cow Cordelia. She actually had sex with Richter in front of him when he was a child! How disgusting. And then in the next route, I found out that she also had sex with Laito too...... ugh...... Cordelia is just a horrible woman, I really really hate her. Sometimes I like messed up villain characters, but not her. I think I said in my previous posts how much I hated her, so I'm just repeating myself. Oops.

Like Kanato, I didn't really care for Laito before playing this game, too. He was just there and I never paid much attention to him because he didn't appeal to me as much as the others. But I find him quite  cute now, even though he'll probably never be my favourite. His voice is really well done. Most of the time it sounds really flirty, but then he sometimes switches to sounding super serious where he starts using  "俺" and “お前” instead of  “ボク” and ”キミ”.  Also you can tell when he's feeling aroused because you can hear it in his voice.

Laito's probably one of the most abusive brothers though, and I don't pick most of it up until I read a summary in English. I'm like "Oh, he's so cute!" then I read the translation and I'm like "Oh..." when I find out what really happened. If it was me in the place of Yui I would probably not survive in the Sakamaki mansion because my poor Japanese skills would probably let them all take advantage of me and treat me like rubbish. At least I'm learning new words from this series though! I now know how to say things such as "pervert", "suck", "touch", "reward", "bride","sex", "troublesome", "prey" and "wrong" thanks to Diabolik Lovers! I'm sure they'll be very useful for me if I ever go to Japan. If I speak Japanese to a native, I'll probably end up sounding like an otome character because that's where I'm getting most of my vocabulary from. A lot of the time when playing this though I'm just too lazy to look up the words, because it gets annoying having to pull up the online dictionary all of the time.

I don't really know what else to write after this. There's going to be one more post on this game, once I complete it either tomorrow or on Friday. Then it's onto playing Period Cube for me, and I'm super excited because it sounds like a lot of the LIs are douchebags too!

See you all later!
