Casual Romance Club
CASUAL Romance Club is a bishoujo game developed by Libido and QT-Software. As often happens in Japanese dating sims, the player controls a handsome and popular Japanese high-school student. The Casual Romance Club is being formed in the high school to give students the opportunity to enjoy casual romance relationships in a relaxed way.
Casual Romance Club is the first hentai game released with a full English translation included in the original Japanese version. Game text and voices are included in both English and Japanese. The game was originally released in Japanese only as Houkago Ren'ai CLUB (放課後恋愛クラブ, "After School Romance Club"). A two-part hentai OAV was also produced by Pink Pineapple, featuring the same characters, in Japanese only. 1997 Libido released the game Hōkago Mania Club (放課後マニア倶楽部) with the same cast of characters but a much darker story.
During one month the main character meets with girls from the Casual Romance Club in the "Starry Sky" family restaurant, where he can chat with them and try to date them. The player also keeps a notebook with detailed profiles of all twelve girls and can read their daily notes from a shared diary.
The twelve girls have the variation in personalities common to H games: there is a shy classmate, an extrovert tomboy, a younger girl for the lolicon fans, a flirtatious waitress, etc. Each girl has a different zodiac sign.
