    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. not a very memorable game for me, the only good thing was shiraishi. his romance route was filled with angst and character development. i wish he hadn't killed mikuni. but i was really moved that he took care of the heroine when she lost her memories, and they were at least able to get a goodbye before he went to prison. i hated sasazuka and okazaki's routes. and it didn't make sense to me that a guy like sasazuka who adored his mom so much would be such a rude little beotch to the heroine. so while i feel sorry for the death of his mother, i also hate him. yanagi was okay, he's the one who saved the heroine when she was a child, and it seemed they were destined to be together. i just didn't like the seiyuu and yanagi's character overall feels too dull. enomoto is an interesting guy, he's funny and he adores the mc, so i like him. but still, the plot surrounding the x-day incidents seem too heavy for the heroine, who somehow was only relegated to a role as an assistant officer that picks up phone calls and performs daily patrol. her role is so minimal. but she's regarded highly upon by top staff lmao and even got to hang out with forensics who tell her classified things. it's just not believable to me. i had high hopes for this game. the graphics and arts are amazing, but i would still recommend other games.

    Collar X Malice is not only your traditional otome, it reflects on concepts like justice and police in a very compelling way.

    Collar X Malice is an absolutely fantastic visual novel. It has a strong narrative and a compelling cast of characters to work within its intriguing mystery. The title uses a whole bag of interactive tricks to pull you into its uncertain world, and it works wonders, with the masterful visual style being the icing on the cake. Now I’m all caught up in anticipation for Collar X Malice Unlimited coming later this year.
