Three of your childhood besties attend the school with you and each one harbors a not so secret crush on you. The premise is simple enough, you’re the only girl at a former all-boys school that specializes in astronomy based extra curricular classes. I was just a baby otome fan when I first played this game and while I’m not as enthusiastic about high school romances as I once was, I will admit that Starry Sky in Spring is a perfect starting off point for folks new to the otome games fandom.

In Spring (and it’s fandisc After Spring) is the only game to get an English patch, but the series was pretty popular in Japan spanning several drama CDs, manga adaptations, and a 26 episode short form anime. Starry Sky in Spring is the first in a series of four games with love interests based on that season’s zodiac constellations.
This is the only game on this list that didn’t have an “official” English language release, but I don’t recall any other mainstream releases in 2010, so Starry Sky wins the year. Okay this game brings back some serious memories for me since it was one of the first otome games I ever played. Some years were more fruitful than others for the western otome fandom, but I still stand by my picks for each year and it’s kind of fun to see how my tastes have changed in the past 10 or so years of playing otome games. So, I wanted to go back and look at the otome games released between 20 and pick out my favorites.
But, I can honestly say that these last few years have been pretty good to Western otome fans, with tons of game releases and announcements coming out (fairly) regularly. Since I didn’t keep up with my Japanese language studies, I’m limited to English localizations (and fan patches), so I can’t speak for the JP only releases. So I decided to jump on the bandwagon too and reflect on the past 10 years in otome games. The end of 2019 marks the end of a decade, and everyone seems to be reflecting on the past 10 years, with their various lists and videos.
