Wait... who's going to be buying this? Isn't the character in question a lesbian? Although I suppose to anyone horny or pathetic enough to buy this app wouldn't care...


It's free.


Okay, then anyone horny or pathetic enough to download this app. Even if it's free, seriously?? I mean, kissing a screen vs. kissing an actual person is, well, completely not the same thing at all. I don't understand how the former could even be appealing.

Guys, have any of you heard of Love Plus and its effect on Japanese society?

First, Macross, then Blood, and now love itself. The product itself is quite novel, if you ask me. As for this iPhone app, is the hardware itself sensitive enough to give accurate feedback on the user's labial abilities?

Laughing .....creepy

Although I find this to be weird as hell, I can't help but laugh at it. It seems so completely ridiculous. For someone to actually use this, although I'm sure some will, I just can't imagine anyone doing so. To each their own, though.

Maybe Tenga* will step into cell phone business. Who knows? After all we already got School Days series that can work with specific "hardware."


*Don't search this word if you are under 18.

This makes making out with a pillow seem downright wholesome by comparison.

You're supposed to kiss the masked girl virtually, until the mask comes off. It's based on a scene in the manga, were Ushio and Sumi practice kissing while Ushio wears a mask. I doubt lips on a screen form a viable interface, but it does mimick what happens in that scene quite well.

I just Googled "tenga" and saw that it was a spoiler[masturbation toy]. Good thing I am 23 and just Googled the word and nothing else.

I can see it now, some guy is kissing the phone when all of a sudden it slips, causing a bloody nose. Laughing

I would imagine that if you kiss like how a really cute girl would (as Ushio prefers anyways), you'll probably be able to get a perfect score. Laughing

Now that you mentioned about the mask, I don't if anyone noticed, but if you scroll the images in the iTunes browser, the mask Ushio used is Priss's battle helmet from Bubblegum Crisis! Shocked

Downloaded it. Razz Took me forever to get high enough scores for her to take off her mask, & I'm still not exactly sure what it is I do to get 100 points. Just luck on my part since I don't have any method for it down yet.
