Jack Jeanne 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.

Here's the protagonist Kisa and all her potential boyfriends. From left to right: Kai, Fumi, Neji, Kisa the protagonist, Sou, Mitsuki, and Suzu.

From right to left they are wearing: an old fashioned suit, a sort of can-can dress, a tuxedo with polkadot tie, a puffy white dress, a long but vaguely masculine coat, a puffy blue dress, and a long red masculine coat over a black suit.


Initial review/info No Spoilers

All the Jack Jeanne songs, with thoughts Spoils some of the common route

Note: I talk a bunch about "incorrect answers" but the game doesn't actually work that way, I just misunderstood the walkthrough.

Spoilery posts (each tends to reference the earlier ones), generally just the Good and Best endings:


The houses of Univeil. Everyone but Rhodonite and Mitsuki is in black boy's school uniforms. The Rhodonite Jeannes are dressed in feminine clothing, and there's a little fat guy in a white uniform.

Classes (like school houses)


  • Quartz: Focus on acting and flexibility in roles. Agender vibes.
  • Onyx: Focus on dancing and Jack roles. Manly gay vibes.
  • Rhodonite: Focus on singing and Jeanne roles. All the Jeannes dress super femme all the time and refer to themselves as women.
  • Amber: Unique artists, kinda transcend gender with the weirdness of their plays.
