Sakura Naomasa: Main Story Review

He usually is more talkative... honest!

 SPOILERS?: Yes, mild spoilers

I think of Naomasa as this socially awkward, emo alien from another planet. Why did I choose him?... Let's just say this was my first Voltage otome game and I thought he'd be mysterious~. I also had this strange fetish for megane (glasses) ikemen at the time. (> v <)

'Mr Sakura' is contradictory and really awkward in basic communication.. For example, when MC first encounters him, he's not at all embarrassed to be sleeping in the same bed with her butt neked yet he gets embarrassed about small things like holding her hand.

 Oh! Sorry, my mistake..(>///<).................... wait, what?

At one point, he drags MC into a dark room and asks, "Is this okay?" and she's thinking, 'Wtf?, you trying to get in my panties already?!!' while all he had to do was turn on a light switch to show her a room he got prepared for her to sleep in. *Huuuuuuuuuuuu.*

I believe the word 'brusque' is describing Naomasa's tendency to grab MC forcefully by the arm and drag her around like a doll.  It's also his blunt and VAGUE way of wording things, just to make things more fun and confusing for her. Must be in his yakuza blood.

But besides his tendency to make MC read between the lines, he's a nice, dependable, and loyal guy that doesn't get sidetracked by an annoying bitch, *ahem* woman they both encounter.

Naomasa's sob story is that he believes he 'killed' his mother since she died after giving birth to him or something.  Since his father's communication skills are as good as shit (like father like son), he sent Naomasa signals that he hates him for it. As a result, Naomasa's been blaming himself for his mother's death all these years.  Naomasa also blames himself for ruining his father's secretary's life by taking up all of his time because he had to study for college, I think?  I dunno, it's weird.  Naomasa has what I like to call, RKS or, Rurouni-Kenshin-Syndrome where he feels like he doesn't deserve happiness in his life because of his so called, sins.

Eventually you both get to the point where you learn more about him..., blah blah blah, evil guy shows up at the end, he gets his ass handed to him, and you both live your lovey dovey life happily ever after together.

I've only gotten through Naomasa's main story and although it started off pretty sexy and heated, it got lukewarm as the story progressed.  Not to mention, there was this really dull and lame setting that was apparently supposed to be that special medium where MC and Naomasa get to know each other better?  Imho, it was lame and kept popping up.

 Words cannot express how much I f*cking hate this red mailbox.....  

Getting off fugly red mailbox street, there was a nicer setting at the beach and I don't know why Voltage insisted on bringing back ugly red mailbox over and over again..

Naomasa got better towards the end; he and MC sort of met halfway and he confesses his love.  Personally, I liked the bitter ending better just because it was more sexy.

This dude is like a clam.  You gotta be persistent and slowly pry him open. (°∀°)b  It's in his personality to be a bit dry and humorless but his feelings and values are genuine.

My final impression? Hot, emo, and socially awkward.

Yep
