Bishojo Games Varieties and Types

Bishojo games always involve anime girls, not the pictures of real-life girls. There are several reasons for this: first, anime girls were better and suited to computer screens in the early days when colors were limited. Second, anime allows hardcore bishojo game studios to circumvent Japanese child pornography laws, which ban only pictures of real-life minors, not simulations (the same as in US laws).

Bokukko (boku-girl) – A tomboyish, energetic girl who calls herself by the pronoun boku, (normally used by a young preteen male).
Ha-kagi (leaf-key) – A short term referring to two famous bishojo game studios with many fans hold up above all others, Key and Leaf. • Loli (short for “Lolita”) – Usually a reference to any character that looks to be under 13. They are the most common characters who call the male lead of a Bishojo Game ‘Oniichan’. See lolicon.

Meganekko (glasses-girl) – A girl who wears large glasses all the time and is usually shy and bookish. She can be beautiful to start with, but often she will seem plain at first and turn out to be a stunning beauty once her glasses are removed.

Meido (maid) – A girl maid who dresses in Gothic Lolita style.

Moe – A term used to describe a genre of works featuring a “ideally” cute girl, or the cuteness itself.

Oniichan (big brother) – A term of address often used by female characters towards the male. Many games involve little sisters, often friends who became step – sisters after their parents’ marriage, so the literal meaning of “big brother” applies.

Naki game (crying game) – A game with a tragic story which moves some players to tears. These usually contain few if any pornographic scenes, as these would be likely to interfere with the sad atmosphere. Kanon and Air are often described as naki games.

Ugu – The famously cute catchphrase of the popular character Tsukimiya Ayu from Kanon, a nonsense sound she uses constantly with a meaning somewhat resembling “hmmm” or “argh”.

Utsu game (depressing game) – A game where girls die or worse not because of something the player, but as a part of an unchangeable story line. Also used to describe games with a jarring or anticlimactic ending.

Yaoi – A term used to describe works with an implied or explicit homosexual relationship between males. Female homosexuality in hentai, manga, and dojinshi is referred to as Yuri.

Yari game (doing-it game) – An H game where the only reason to play the game is to collect all sexually explicit pictures, because the story is sloppy and unimaginative. Some designers intentionally make yaoi games by storing all relevant pictures in a folder that can be reviewed after the game is cleared.
