Do you need a JP account to download this? It's not available in America!

You raise a boy from birth, and you can earn romance point...
Yeah, nothing creepy about that. First Super Lovers, now this. Man, if it was about raising a girl, people would be raging hard, I guess. |

I have to admit this is my thought too. If they only had called them something other than romance points then it could have been argued it wasn't playing up that aspect and was just a cute if quirky game. But yeah. |

As someone who actually has a toddler brother, this is beyond disturbing.

I'd be much more interested if you could battle them against other people's virtual kids. Not sure if that's better or worse, morally, than what the app is now.

I'm guessing the idea of raising a boyfriend from birth isn't a big thing in Japan...? I don't think it ought to be a big thing anywhere.
Then again, he does hatch from an egg, is absolutely tiny, then apparently suddenly becomesfully grown or something. Also, I'm sure a lot of guys would kill to become handsome like that on a diet of cupcakes. (But he...apparently switches to bento boxes when he's no longer tiny?) |

Same. This reminds me of that American Dad episode where Stan's son and the son's best friend create these dates for a dance or something, but when they were created they were just babies. So when it was finally time for the prom and the girls were of appropriate age the son pretty much couldn't do it because "She's like a daughter to me. I watched her grow. I can't go through with this!" lol. I don't watch a lot of American Dad, but that episode instantly popped into my head lol. I'm not gonna lie though: I'd buy this.

I don't see it as creepy. It's clearly just a chibi that hatches from an egg, not an actual kid.

This is like raising a Chao in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Feed your boy his favorite food and he'll grow up powerful...or, in this case, handsome.

Fujoshi are a subspecies of otaku, so it's understandable. |

Yeah, how nice we are name calling and casting judgement. You'd think the Puritans have just arrived. |
