Otome Recommendations for Japanese Beginner

[rainbowcakes]

First, I must clarify that I am fluent in Chinese and while my grammar standard is probably ~N5 (because I've only covered 20 chapters of Minna no Nihongo's first book), I can understand more kanji than a non-Chinese speaker.
With that in mind, I breezed through Storm Lover Natsukoi without VNR (which the game isn't compatible with) so you can consider that if you've tried the first game. I found NinKoi fairly easy to comprehend too, but I kind of... skipped parts I found dull.

Definetly Starry Sky series.

I am studying Japanese but games without Engsub sometimes makes me feel nervous :100:
I recommend Amnesia series, the first one has Engsub and the others are Japanese so you can play it easily. Starry Sky and Clock zero~Shuuen no Ichibyou~ are fun and easy too (maybe for me) :188:

Does anyone know if there is an otome game with furigana? If something like this exist I may try without VNR too...

Starry sky, or strom lovers

 

[daisukidayo]

tokimeki memorial girl's side series and starry sky game series, both high school setting and story not heavy

 

[applepi]

Uta no Prince Sama series, Storm Lovers series, Bad Medicine: Infectious Teachers, Brothers Conflict.
Games that are School/Family orientated are more than likely to be easy to translate.

I think its honeybees otome games, like starry sky, its easy to read than rejet's otome games..

 

[Kagekiyo]

Geten no Hana isn't that bad for a full Japanese game and set in the past. Language is okay. Maybe a bit hard with Nobunaga's character/route because he uses a lot of haikus.

Tokimeki memorial girl's side is pretty simple
