Printing angel: Comic Party's Chisa Tsukamoto

(tags game, gal-game, PlayStation Portable, anime, doujin, failure)

Since I finished the "Yuu" scenario easily with 100% CG complete, I decided to try my hand again at Comic Party Portable. I couldn't unlock the cosplayer scenario. I suspect that she's only unlockable after you finish with the main characters. So instead I went with the "printing angel" "Chisa Tsukamoto" (塚本千紗) scenario. Chisa is your friendly printer who takes your doujinshi and makes copies. She's also the one who says "desu" like Rozen Maiden character Suiseiseki, but there's no tsundere here. Anyway, it took about six hours to get through. I thought I completed it correctly but I got a bad end. I said to myself, okay, now it's time to quit game-binging.

I then chanted the magic search words that makes mince meat of gal-games: "攻略" (strategy). There doesn't seem to be a one-true-database like GameFaqs for Japanese only games so I take what I can. But the first hit seems promising, an unofficial strategy guide for the PC game, made in 1999. Reading up on what I missed it seems that I need to win friends and influence people, which has nothing to do with the doujin making stat grinding at all! Ugh. Another 6 hours of boring menu-fighting maybe just the turn off I've been looking for.
