Preface
All you otaku out there, you probably can’t have yuri relationships yourselves
At most, you can just watch yuri
Yuri is so good, but if you can’t try it in real life
Why not try it in a game
“Yuri Blossom!”
The game’s name has “yuri” in it, so it’s clearly a yuri game
In this game, otaku can become the masochistic young lady Rinne, ready to spend her days with cute girls
Game Background
Throughout human history, there have been enemies that cannot be defeated by normal means: “youkai”
Those who can wield power to defeat youkai are called Saints, Exorcists, or Miko
The protagonist Rinne is a powerful Miko
She has the responsibility of defeating monsters
And a daily life of having yuri with cute girls
Game Introduction
“Yuri Blossom!” is a school yuri RPG game
The character you play as, young lady Rinne, is a chuunibyou and a masochist
Rinne is a powerful Miko, a legendary one
Even though she’s a powerful Miko, she still has to go to school
Sometimes at school, the teacher will suddenly call her to go fight monsters
But because she’s a young lady, she brings a maid, Yukihotaru, with her to class
The game begins on young lady Rinne’s first day of school
She’s about to be late because she overslept on the very first day
The main quest of the game is to fall in love while sealing monsters
So the game has quite a few monster-fighting segments
The combat is traditional turn-based, and the monsters are easy to defeat, so you won’t get stuck
(But it can get a bit tiring after a while)
The game’s dialogue is sarcastic and comedic
In addition to the main quest of sealing youkai
You’ll also hear some strange gossip when you talk to other characters at school
Overall, the dialogue is quite rich
For example, when asked what to do if an upperclassman is taking a cucumber to her room
(The answer should be to ask if you can join in)
Rinne is also warned that if she two-times someone, she’ll get sent flying
The cracks on the bathroom wall are from someone who cheated and got beaten up
At this point, she still doesn’t think of herself as a jerk
(But she’ll start flirting with everyone later, tsk tsk)
But after she meets more and more cute girls, she can’t help herself
After all, she has no resistance to cute girls
Rinne can be a bit of a jerk only in the early stages, flirting with everyone a bit
After that, you have to choose one person to be with, you can’t have a harem
But after completing the ending, you can unlock all the HCG scenes in the Recollection Room
Character Introduction
Rinne
Rinne is a young lady with a bit of a chuunibyou complex, she was almost late on her first day of school
She seems tough and a little tsundere, but she’s actually an obedient masochist
To hide her weakness, Rinne has no last name, and she’s a legendary Miko
(She really has that chuunibyou vibe)
Just like everyone else, she has a bad habit of having no resistance to cute girls
Even though she brought her maid Yukihotaru to class
When she first sees Ayame and fights her, she still thinks she’s cute
(She can’t even use her full power on a cute girl, so she runs away in the middle of a fight)
When she gets cornered by Momo, she can’t help but feel shy
Young lady Rinne is a lost cause
Yukihotaru
Yukihotaru is the young lady’s most loyal maid, she wants to protect everything about Rinne
When a male student provokes Rinne, she’ll call him a “sunglass durian”
Even when the young lady is being impulsive and chuunibyou
She’ll still loyally say that the young lady is just very emotional
(She’s blinded by love)
Yukihotaru often gets jealous of other girls
For example, when Ayame appears, Yukihotaru gets a little jealous
She’s a total Rinne superfan
She even fills her dorm room with photos of the young lady
Ayame
Ayame is the top student in the entire school
Compared to Yukihotaru and Momo, Ayame is also the one with bigger boobs
When she sees the young lady at the training ground, she’s immediately mesmerized by her sword
She immediately asks Rinne for a match
(A battle girl)
Because Ayame is a cute girl, the young lady doesn’t refuse her
But Ayame is too cute to go all out against
As a result, Rinne runs away in the middle of the fight
Ayame’s personality is more straightforward, she often doesn’t realize that Yukihotaru is getting jealous
She’ll also accidentally say things to Rinne that can be misinterpreted
(Yukihotaru thinks: My fists are getting hard)
Momo
Momo is a cute cat youkai, with a bit of an eccentric personality
She came to this school because she wanted to be friends with humans
When she first meets Rinne, she’s mistaken for a bad youkai
But Rinne doesn’t apologize to Momo properly
Momo decides to teach her how to apologize
She directly hugs Rinne and touches her, telling Rinne she needs to apologize with more sincerity
I don’t know why a school for fighting youkai also has to teach linear algebra and discrete mathematics
(Huh)
A cat youkai obviously can’t do math, so Momo’s way of doing homework is to just ask Rinne for the answers
(But Rinne’s grades aren’t good either, she’s a grade booster who relies on fighting monsters, so why would she ask her for answers)
Gameplay Introduction
“Yuri Blossom!” is a pixel-art RPG game
The gameplay is the same as a regular RPG game
When you go to a place with a yellow circle on the screen, a corresponding dialogue will be triggered
In the main quest dialogue, there will be hints on how to progress to the next part of the story
Players can also chat with other people at school and listen to some random jokes
Sparkling places on the screen are where you can pick up items
They can be used as accessories in battle to increase your stats
Game time is divided into three parts: class time, free time, and evening rest time
Class can increase your stats
But since the monsters are easy to beat, you don’t need to worry about how to allocate points
Free time is for progressing the story
After everyone’s story is advanced, you can enter the next stage of the story
Evening rest time is for activities in the dorm, after you sleep, it will be the next day
In addition, there are holiday plots
As the story progresses, you can also unlock more places to go, and you can go on dates at the unlocked places
After the player seals the final boss, all HCG scenes will be unlocked
(Then you can get to the good stuff)
Math Class
Can increase everyone’s attack
Becoming Yukihotaru’s girlfriend can unlock an HCG scene
Music Class
Can increase everyone’s speed
Becoming Momo’s girlfriend can unlock an HCG scene
Cooking Class
Can increase everyone’s defense
Becoming Ayame’s girlfriend can unlock an HCG scene
Combat Mode
If you’re a player who wants to experience the story more and doesn’t want to fight monsters as much
You can use positioning to dodge some monsters, so you don’t have to waste time fighting them
Some monsters will be blocking the road, so you can’t dodge them
It’s recommended to choose to escape often, or else there are really a lot of monsters
There’s no special trick to fighting monsters, you can just fight them normally and you’ll win
If a monster can’t be escaped from, it means it’s related to the main plot
You just have to accept it and fight
When “Monster Extermination” appears in the holiday options
You can go exterminate them to get more powerful skills and accessories
Defeating monsters gives you experience and coins, which you can use to buy new weapons at the department store
You can buy potions from the vending machine, but you don’t need to buy a lot, it’s not that easy to get killed by a monster
Character Stats
You will level up after each battle
Clicking ESC will bring up the equipment panel
You can let the system equip the best gear for you
Location Introduction
The main location of the game is the school
The school has four floors
1st floor: The cooking classroom is on the right, and the dorms are on the left
2nd floor: The library and the first-year classrooms
3rd floor: The music room and the second-year classrooms
4th floor: The art room and the third-year classrooms
During free time, you need to talk to each of the heroines to progress the main plot
In addition to the school, you can also go to the plaza during free time to choose a holiday destination
After Rinne chooses a girlfriend, she can have sex with her girlfriend during their holidays
- Yukihotaru’s Location: Yukihotaru’s location is in the library, which fits her more serious image
- Ayame’s Location: Ayame’s location is in the practice room
- Momo’s Location: On the fourth-floor staircase or the rooftop of the school
Holiday Locations
The places you can go on holiday will increase as the main plot progresses
There’s the beach, aquarium, department store, restaurant, cafe, Shrine Martial Arts Hall, and the park
You can also go exterminate monsters
After you decide who to date, the locations where naughty scenes can be triggered will be specially marked
For example, with Yukihotaru, you can have sex in the department store elevator
Plot Introduction
Opening Plot
After Rinne and Yukihotaru enroll, they first meet Ayame at the training ground
They meet Momo after entering the forest
The four of them share a dorm on the same floor
The public bathroom is also on the same floor
Before taking a bath, Rinne, who likes cute girls, decides to fantasize about who she wants to bathe with
But the micro-yuri scenes in the beginning are just text, no HCG, which is a bit of a shame
Yukihotaru’s Romance Route
After entering the forest for the second time, you can choose which team member to go with
This will determine who you can date, so choose carefully
After the two of you walk to the hut and defeat the boss that needs to be defeated in the plot
Yukihotaru will confess to Rinne, triggering the long-awaited HCG
Who would have thought that Yukihotaru would be on top, Rinne is a complete bottom
After unlocking Yukihotaru’s romance route, there will be a naughty scene in math class
Rinne, who got the answer wrong in math class, is punished with a spanking
Entering math class for the second time will also have a different HCG
Even if you get the answer right, the game will ask you to choose again
(Because you have to get it wrong to be spanked)
After class, going into the cooking classroom will let you make bento together
The beach and restaurant also have new HCG scenes to unlock
But the department store one is more exciting, Rinne wants to secretly buy a ring for Yukihotaru
Yukihotaru wants young lady Rinne to tie her up, using her own body as a gift
Or put an egg vibrator inside her body and then take the elevator
After watching the HCG and having some fun, you can continue with the main quest of sealing monsters
Sealing Youkai Plot
After dating Yukihotaru and completing Ayame and Momo’s story routes
Then talk to Yukihotaru, and you will be teleported to the sewers
(This school is going to exploit students as cheap labor again)
You don’t need to fight the small monsters in the sewers, you can just follow the map to find the teachers
You just need to defeat the mini-boss
After returning to school, continue to find Yukihotaru to progress the story
Yukihotaru talks to Rinne’s father, saying that it shouldn’t be Rinne who deals with the sealed monsters
She also hopes that Rinne won’t find out about the monsters
Because Rinne has a chuunibyou complex, if she finds out, she will go after the monsters
But Rinne finds a notebook when Yukihotaru isn’t there
So everyone decides to discuss how to deal with the monsters together
Momo and Ayame also say they will go fight the monsters with Rinne
Before fighting the monsters, you need to know the location of the seal and the sacred tool to seal it
You have to go back to the library to find Yukihotaru again
(The key is to just keep going to Yukihotaru to progress the story)
It turns out that the sacred tool might be in the Withered Lake Tower
But before going to the Withered Lake Tower, Yukihotaru thinks they should have some fun in the room first
After fighting in the Withered Lake Tower, you will get a stamp
You need to take it to the art room and ask everyone if they have seen it
After talking to everyone, you will learn that the sacred tool is a token of surrender from one god to another
Finally, when you go to the principal’s office, you will be teleported to the final battle, and you won’t be able to trigger any other events
So it’s recommended to save your game first
It turns out that the location of the sealed monster is the first forest
There are also a weapon shop and item shop here where you can buy things
After defeating the boss, the game will jump to the ending
Yukihotaru and Rinne get married happily
After the ending, you will be taken to the Recollection Room, where you can see all the HCG and story scenes
A Little Guide
The main plot of “Yuri Blossom!” is sealing monsters
So there are a lot of monsters you need to fight
The formula for progressing the main plot is = talk to your girlfriend, then go fight monsters, then talk to your girlfriend, then go fight monsters
There are many small monsters on the map
These small monsters can usually be skipped, you can choose to escape or dodge them
This makes the story flow a bit more smoothly
When “Monster Extermination” appears as a holiday option, it’s recommended to go quickly
This allows Rinne to get combo skills with her girlfriend
You don’t need to fight the small monsters in the monster extermination maps, you only need to defeat the main boss
Small Drawbacks
The heroines in this game don’t have voice actors
It’s a bit of a shame that the naughty scenes don’t have the cute girls’ voices
Also, while the story is rich, you often have to fight monsters
For people who just want the practical stuff, or just want to experience the story
The monster-fighting segments might feel a bit excessive
(At least you’re fighting monsters with a bunch of cute girls)
My Review
The dialogue in “Yuri Blossom!” is full of funny moments, making it a very stress-relieving game
But before you choose a girlfriend, there aren’t many practical scenes, only practical dialogue
(Can dialogue be practical)
(Maybe for some people)
For example, when Momo corners Rinne, there’s only a dialogue scene
But the dialogue is well-written, which might make players want to scream: My visuals are gone
Luckily, after the final ending, all the HCG scenes will be unlocked
If you’re a player who wants to get right to the good stuff from the start
It’s recommended to use another game for that first, and then come back to properly enjoy “Yuri Blossom!”
But if you’re not in a hurry and you like sarcastic dialogue
Then “Yuri Blossom!” is highly recommended
