Otome * Domain Out Now on Steam and Johren

TOKYO, JAPAN – December 23, 2022

Today Shiravune released Palette Qualia's cross-dressing visual novel Otome * Domain on Steam and Johren. This student dorm rom-com is available in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
The protagonist needs to blend in as a girl at his new school—and sometimes does a little too good a job of it. Cue a slew of wacky hijinks!

STORY
After his grandmother passes away, Minato finds himself all alone, not knowing what to do next.

A rich girl his age offers to take responsibility for him, providing him a new home at the all-girls academy she runs. His options exhausted, he accepts his new school uniform—skirt, blouse, and all—and moves into the dorms at once.

It turns out his provider and dormmate, however, is a little off...

“Minato, I can't find my change of panties... Guess I'll be going commando for today.”
“I'll get you some, so stay right there! You can't go out looking like that?!”

...Just who is taking care of whom exactly? Why does it feel like he's the one adopting her?!

CHARACTERS
Kazari Saionji
Voice: Anzuhana
The daughter of wealthy business tycoons, she was actually raised by Minato's late grandmother, who was her maid at the time. Out of love and a sense of filial obligation, she assumes responsibility for Minato's living expenses after hearing about his plight. Thanks to her rich parents owning the entire campus, she happens to be the board chair of the same school she attends as a student—Whitebell Girls' Academy—and so conveniently enrolls Minato there, too.

Despite her attempts to come off as a refined, elegant young lady, in many ways she's surprisingly clumsy and below average. As her roommate, Minato soon discovers that she's not only slow and socially awkward, but gets lost easily and needs her hand held for the simplest of tasks...

Yuzu Kifune
Voice: Akane Ueda
Minato and Kazari's classmate and dormmate, and the head of the school's newspaper club. Another daughter of a prominent family, but unlike Kazari, she's genuinely charming, friendly, and almost too accommodating to Minato...

That might make it sound like she's the ultimate Japanese tradwife, but when it comes to domestic chores, she's beyond salvation. She's also a terminally curious and surprisingly stubborn tomboy who tends not to sweat the small stuff—to the point where her dorm room is a constant pigsty. And as if that weren't enough, she's actually confident(!) about her terrible cooking... How can a girl so good at everything else be this catastrophic when it comes to household affairs?!

Hinata Ogaki
Voice: Airi Himekawa
Minato's junior dormmate and a member of the library committee. Her family struck it big only recently and now controls an up-and-coming business enterprise. Despite being a “nouveau riche,” she has none of the usual smugness that comes with it. In fact, she's too caught up in being a huge fantasy nerd and edgelord to really care about things like family standing or “having a decent personality” anyway...

Speaking of edgy, she insists on calling herself “Zarathustra, General of the East.” Indeed, as one of the Demon Generals of the Four Heavenly Kings, she apparently already rules the world as we know it. Her story often changes, though, so sometimes she's “about to invade” us in the near future, instead of already being in control. For all her constant cringiness, however, she's actually not so bad underneath. Heck, she'll even apologize if you tell her off hard enough, waterworks and all.

Minato Asuka
Voice: Sara Ayumi
The protagonist of this game! Left without anyone to rely on after the passing of his grandmother, he was taken in by Kazari and offered a roof over his head, as well as enrollment at her family's all-girls school. Despite very much being a boy, when dolled up in a skirt he can easily pass for the fairer sex—even without the extra padding. While this god-given talent might help him move through his new school life undetected, he's still loathe to accept how good a girl he makes...

His hobbies and talents include cooking, cleaning, laundry, and other household chores. In fact, upon moving into the girls' dorms, he assumed all domestic chore duties himself because he couldn't bear to see the mess his housemother-less dormmates had made. For his troubles he was later voted “no. 1 ideal housewife” in a campus newspaper club poll.
