Otome Shimai
Two sisters who have been playing Otome games, both individually and together, for 10+ years. We're always discussing the games we're playing and different Otoge related subjects anyways, so we decided to turn it into a podcast! Disclaimer: None of the games or characters we are discussing belong to us. Please don’t sue us.
