My favorite is Okita/Chizuru, followed by Kazama/Chizuru.
I haven't watched the anime, but I played the first game. While playing, I just couldn't see Hijikata with Chizuru for some reason. He struck me as a big brother type of character, not the sort of guy I personally would romance. His good ending was the most difficult to get too; the romance gauge must be 11 or higher. I guess that in an otome game, the main girl is kind of like an avatar of the player, and I myself would go for laid-back, fun-loving and impish kind of characters like Okita, not serious-to-a-fault type of guy like Hijikata or even Saito XD
In Japan, the romance preference is kind of different. Okita/Chizuru is the most popular (mostly because Japanese fans were introduced to the game before the anime), followed by Saito/Chizuru, Hijikata/Chizuru, Heisuke Chizuru, Kazama/Chizuru and finally Sanosuke/chizuru. |
