Remember how I said before I wasn't gonna play the full version? Yeah, screw that, I'm doing it. Welcome to Plan B of the "Ahknee can't get her computer to cooperate for the SM:AS playthrough!" It is with the firm belief that everyone should experience this game that I do this, hoping that, if you like it, you will buy it.
Let's start with a clean slate and do our intro post. Serious screenshot LP time!
Intro
Hatoful Boyfriend, as you all know from the very short glimpse we did in the demo thread, is a game where you date birds. Starting as an April Fool's joke by one Moa Hato (moa810), the game wound up seeing several expansions and gained a thorough backstory by the time of completion. There are now several actual drama CDs that have been released, featuring an accredited cast of voice actors (there is no voice acting in game, however). A manga is also being currently released by chapter, and there are a couple of guidebooks that have been made by the creator.
As several bits of the extra material contain information about the story and characters, I will reveal what I can from those sources in this LP. I can't guarantee I'll be able to give all of the information from those out of game sources, as I don't have any of them (expensive imports more like I'm broke already), and even if I did, haha Japanese.
I will be going through every route. You will laugh, you will cry. I will upload audio files of the BGM. I will play the BBL route. I will probably not play through Holiday Star. Please remember to play the demo and English patch it, then don't forget to give the full version a purchase if you love it.
Of note: hato is the Japanese word for pigeon. Thus, the title can mean Pigeonful Boyfriend. Of course, with Japanese, this can be a play on sounds - hatoful also sounds like heartful and hurtful, so you also get Heartful Boyfriend and Hurtful Boyfriend. Gee, wonder where that will lead us?
