How to Melt a Maiden's Heart

About this game

Fujibayashi Reo is your regular high school student. He would prefer to sleep in than go to class, and he cares more about football than he does about studying for his exams. He’s not the best student, and he’s always getting into arguments with the stern student council president, Sugawara Yuuma.

Reo can’t stand Yuuma, and the feeling is mutual. Both boys hate one another — but when Reo discovers that Yuuma has been crossdressing and working at a maid café in secret, Reo gets an idea.

Reo decides to blackmail the upstanding student council president into aiding him with the seduction of his childhood friend, Chinami. With Yuuma’s help, Reo’s sure that he’ll be able to confess his feelings to Chinami and melt her heart…

So why has Reo started to feel so shy and self-conscious when he’s with Yuuma? What in the world is going on?!

  Extra Chapter of BL VN All Scars and Starlight has been released!

  Hello everyone! I've been working on this project for a while, and I'm proud to announce that I've released some DLC for my grimdark boys 'love' visual novel, All Scars and Starlight. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/1ee7b35019a5a9402a2d6188f4c7c4960cb361b2.png Scars is a BL story about a king whose throne was stolen from him in a coup, and the romance(?) which unfolds between the deposed king and his captor. As one might expect from the premise, it's rather grim, the characters have an incredibly unhealthy relationship dynamic, and there's a lot of drama. This is also an r18 visual novel with a fair amount of explicit scenes, so it is not appopriate for anybody under the age of 18. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/fb5691e059eba55c88397ffab76e1f78b1914f81.png The DLC adds about 80,000 words extra to the story, and it takes place one year after the 'good' and 'true' endings, but before the timeskip to the epilogues of both endings. To read the bonus chapter, you need to update the base game, buy the DLC, then read through either the 'good' or 'true' ending. You should be able to access the DLC after that. Please note: you will need to clear these two endings again, even if you achieved them once already, because I had to edit the code of the game a little to allow for the DLC to unlock. You can find the base game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2827190/All_Scars_and_Starlight/ And the DLC here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4279090/All_Scars_and_Starlight__Extra_chapter/ I hope you enjoy it, if miserable anime boys crying a lot are your thing! I know they're mine! You should heed the content warnings for this VN carefully, though, since there's some dark stuff here. - ebi x

  Cute BL VN Where the Heart Rests has been released!

  Hi everyone, Quick post to let you know that my cute new BL visual novel Where the Heart Rests has been released. It's a wholesome slice of life story inspired by the anime Usagi Drop. It's about a couple of men who adopt a young child. There's a lot of domestic fluff here, and some yearning between the two adult leads. The romantic relationship is a bit of a slowburn, and it's kind of lowkey. There's also a fair bit of hurt/comfort here because I think it's cute! This should be a nice read for people who like cosy and cute romance stories with relatively low stakes and some light drama. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/b42dabbf4075a2c61a31bbea295c85d2329bfea6.png https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/55e0748c4d06143f246b1749b7c484d0ada9496a.png You can buy the VN here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4099090/ But please read the mature content warning. There is no r18 content in this visual novel, but it might contain some themes which would upset people. - ebi x

  Cute BxG VN Maid For My Master has been released!

  Hello everyone! I'm writing a quick announcement to let you know that Maid For My Master has been released! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/7131364d4479d6e0a44290a2203403e78c640c1a.png Maid For My Master is a cute romance visual novel about a young man who falls in love with a robot maid. The story is very light-hearted, and it was partially inspired by Chobits. The story contains a little bit of drama, but it does have a happy ending, and it doesn't contain any especially upsetting content. I think this would be a good story to read if you want something sweet and hopeful to cheer you up! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/f1ac87c6cd5f090f8e9e57e7cbade1befa261849.png There is an adult patch for the game available on Steam, but it isn't necessary to enjoy the story. Feel free to download the patch or not; it's up to you. You can find the VN here if you want to read it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3364490 As always, thank you for supporting me while I release so many projects. I hope you enjoy Maid For My Master if you do choose to check it out, and you have a good time with Holly!

  Beneath the Bleeding Moon has been released!

  Hello everybody, I'm making an announcement to let you know that Beneath the Bleeding Moon has (finally) been released! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/70b21da0c6eb39cb7c621a16a085042789719102.png I first showed off the demo of this VN 2 years ago, so getting it across the finish line was a bit of a challenge haha ;; I persevered, however, and now the full visual novel is out! Bleeding Moon is a historical boys' love visual novel set in Japan. Follow Haru, a cross-dressing young man, as he goes on a journey with the devious thief, Kishou, to break an ancient curse. Bleeding Moon is a little different from my usual visual novels in that it's less of a character drama and more of an adventure story. There's quite a few fight scenes, and it's (generally) light-hearted in tone, though there are a few darker moments. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33024327/58a3b3f6c751b8dc76294c111b49a75b8e9c367a.png There's also an r18 patch for anybody who wants it, which adds about 20k more words to the story and several animated(!!!) r18 scenes. This is the first time I've added animated adult CGs into any of my VNs, so I hope people enjoy it. You can check the VN out here if you're curious: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2553080 Thank you for all of your support over the years! It's appreciated! I'll keep working hard to make more visual novels that people will enjoy! - ebi x
