Vampire Dormitory Episodes 10-12

Masterlist

I know some of you have likely been wondering what happened with this show. I mostly enjoyed it to the end but for some reason my brain very suddenly did NOT want to do reaction posts any more, probably due to Complicated Gender Feelings.

So here's the reactions I wrote before my brain ground to a halt, and then a brief summary of what happened next.

JackJeanne: Initial review/info

Masterlist

So after my brain insisting I watch Vampire Dormitory but not write reaction posts, it has now insisted I not keep playing this game until I write up my feelings so far?? I guess I have thoughts I want to work through??

SO HERE WE GO.

First, some non-spoilery information/initial review.

JackJeanne is a thus far quite enjoyable and VERY GENDER otome game about a girl who disguises herself as a boy to attend an all-boys acting school with a tradition of dividing roles into 'Jacks' (male roles) and 'Jeannes' (female roles) She then gets to know and in some cases romance various male classmates, who are a mix of Jack and Jeanne (and in some cases both). Afaict the English version is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.

CW: Transphobia (it's better than the average otome/shoujo, but the bar is low) Also I don't go into it in the review but there's a minor character who's just a walking fat joke :/
