The best first-otome

Shipping state: original PSP 2011, Vita port 2013, Aksys English release 2015 on Vita and PC, Switch 2021. The Aksys localisation is the canonical English read; Amnesia Later and Crowd are sequels, not expansions, and they ship separately.

Idea Factory / Otomate's output in this period is uneven; Amnesia is one of the stronger entries and probably the best first-otome for a reader who wants to understand the genre's grammar before tackling its longer books.
