I have always wanted to incorporate the narrative and visual elements of otome games （乙女遊戲）into fashion photography. Although this is not presented in the final series, it serves as an experimental practice—an idea brought to life.

Growing up in the 2000s, Japanese manga and games shaped my aesthetic sensibilities. From my first experience with a raising simulation game, Princess Maker《美少女夢工廠》, on the computer, to the Tokimeki Memorial 《心跳回憶》era on the NDS, and later to the subversive storytelling of Doki Doki Literature Club《心跳文學部》, otome games have continuously evolved in both medium and narrative core.

Otome games are undergoing a phase of deconstruction and reconstruction, shifting from simple romantic fantasies to more complex explorations of psychology and cultural critique. It is truly exciting to witness and take part in this evolution.
