Kido Tsumugu: Main Story; Brief Review

I admit, his metaphors are creative.

*Note: I haven't played this game in over a year and the story data that I purchased has been lost. I'm totally going by memory!*

Another one of these is long overdue! So here it is, a brief review of Tsumugu.

Tsumugu is my second guy from "Our Two Bedroom Story." Sadly to say, I grew tired of this cohabitation theme so Tsumugu is also my last guy played on this game.

Tsumugu is a guy with a split personality. I don't know if this is a true psychological issue he can't control, or if he just does it on his own. I'm guessing the latter. One side of him is smart, tidy, polite, and good at his job. The other is a polar opposite. At home, he's lets himself go in appearance and personality; He's obnoxious, rude, and a penny pincher that tries to get money out of the MC every chance he gets. Also note his Kansai dialect translated to English. Which means, he talks like a hillbilly, lol.

I know he sounds bad, but his route is actually very entertaining. MC has serious backbone with Tsumugu and it's really funny seeing them bantering back and forth.

Just one of MC's silly quips..

Now for the good stuff.. I don't really remember if Tsumugu gave any shirtless fanservice but there is a very hot scene in his room and you're rewarded with a picture of him in bed and it's... just..... *~hyperventilates~*  (((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))



So, this ad makes him seem like beasty at home but he's actually not really. It only happens maybe on occasion but it's not in his character to make moves on MC often.

Tsumugu is a tsundere, the type that's convincing himself that he's not interested in MC at all when of course, he is, hehe. She slowly grows on him. Like a mushroom. xD


One of the shallow reasons why I was drawn to Tsumugu in the first place is because of how HOT his sprite looks! I love how his hair looks so silky and stylish (even when it's supposed to be messy) and his striped long-sleeve top. It makes his shoulders look soooo much broader and I have a major weakness for guys with really broad shoulders! (*´꒳`*)  ♥ ♥ ♥

Tsumugu has a good backstory that explains his double personality quirk and why he's such a money-obsessed misogynist. I remember his route mainly focusing on the MC slowly discovering who Tsumugu is. She doesn't know that coworker Tsumugu and at home Tsumugu are actually the same person until a few chapters in. After that, she's slowly peeling away at the Tsumugu onion to reveal his deeper secrets. One of the cool things about this story is that it largely focuses on the communication between the two characters and how they slowly learn to live with each other despite their differences. It felt quite realistic just from their conversations.

Sorry I don't have much more to say. It's been so long since I've played his route and it really sucks that I can't play it again without purchasing it again as my game data was wiped from existence. D:
