Otome Magazines

I've noticed that Comic B's-Log's covers seems to gravitate to reverse harem. After I let my curiosity took over me, I felt like a I hopped into a rabbithole. There's actually magazines that caters to female gamers featuring BL and otomes and related franchise.

Here's a description of the magazines taken from Lijakaca's site:

"B's Log: This magazine comes out monthly on the 19th and comes with either a CD or DVD-ROM with music or demos and wallpaper and stuff. It covers otome and BL games, and some RPGs as well. It’s also the biggest size mag, around 11”x14”.

Dengeki Girl's Style: This mag is released every two months on the 10th - next one is Aug 10th. Same kind of stuff as B’s Log, no CD or DVD IIRC, but sometimes has extras like pamphlets.

Cool-B: This mag comes out every two months on the 4th of even months, and focuses more on BL games, but they do have stuff on otome games.

Cool-B Sweet Princess: This is an ‘add-on’ mag to Cool-B that only comes out twice a year or so. It focuses on otome games and not so much BL."

The future of reverse harem is promising after seeing tons of new and old titles than can be spawned into mangas and animes and vice versa. Here are some of B's Log covers with otome-turned-mangas.

Another otome blog that I find very helpful is AoTan's Blog. From these two sites you can also check their blogrolls.
