I played Chou no Doku (so you don’t have to) - Mizuhito’s Route Part 4
The Finale. Let’s finally get this over with. Here’s the link to the [last part].
Yuriko made her way to Majima’s quarters in order to ask him about going to the Brothel in Mizuhito’s stead. Majima remarks that it would be better to just let her Brother know about what’s going on, but Yuriko starts freaking out and acting like a jealous child again. She sure got a lot of trust for her beloved Brother. Ultimately Majima agrees to go and Yuriko ends up reminiscing about the feelings she used to harbor towards him
Sure, it’s his fault now.
On the next day Kyoko decides to pay the siblings a visit, however, she requests to only speak with Yuriko. With just the two of them she reveals that Kyoko’s well aware of the things that are going on between our Brother and Sister.
Her “romance senses” were tingling apparently. Though to be honest considering how the two of them are acting you don’t need to be a genius to figure out what’s going on. Kyoko also reveals that she a... relationship dealer? Basically she arranges fake marriages that allow cover ups for illict relationships of whatever sort. Mizuhito eventually shows up and pretty much kicks Kyoko out. Which has Yuriko frantically going after her, since she does consider her offer. Outside she meets Majima who’s back from his “errand”, stating that the Geisha did in fact not have one of Mizuhito’s belongings but simply wanted to get him to visit. She gave Majima a comb that he’s supposed to pass on to Mizuhito. Yuriko goes inside to hide the comb but meets Mizuhito on the way
She slips it into her... Ouch. That’s dedication.
They have another painting session, but Mizuhito soon starts asking questions about their current situation.
Romantic. Obviously she doesn’t tell him that though, but the following:
Me avoiding my responsibilities. She literally dodged his question because she knows she wouldn’t have. While trying to get up Yuriko ends up dropping the comb and Mizuhito immediately recognizes it. Though not mad he does confront her and Yuriko laments that she was scared of losing him forever.
No, he doesn’t talk about eloping Yuriko. It’s coming guys: close your eyes, hide your children. The moment this game has been building up for has come: The smex. And while we don’t get the full smex we do get enough to count our lucky stars that we don’t have to sit through the entirety of the “act”.
Things you should say before smex:
Things you should not say before smex:
Followed by things you should not say during smex:
Concluded by things you should not say after smex:
Kinda? Luckily that’s it (for now at least).
The following day Mizuhito holes himself up in his room to finish the painting. When Yuriko calls him for dinner he suggests they go out to eat something. On their way they run into the Proprietress of the Brothel he used to frequent. She remarks that she noticed something odd about Majima when she saw him a few days ago and that he may be involved in dangerous affairs, such as dealing with Opium. After the Proprietress excused herself Yuriko noticed that Mizuhito did not introduce her as his sister.
Because these two go so well together.
They conclude that confronting Majima head on is a bad idea. Mizuhito eventually tells Yuriko to head back without him first. She decides that this is the time to play Detective and find out more about Majima. Fujita says that he actually doesn’t know much about Majima either. Apparently he does fequently take time off however, so Fujita says it’s not impossible he’s doing something on the side.
Yeah mess with the potentially dangerous guys room. Great idea. So Yuriko starts sniffing around (quite literally) .
So apparently Yuriko goes around sniffing men’s rooms in her pastime if she’s got that much ground for comparison. But moving on, obviously she doesn’t find anything just lying around. What a shocker. Her “I’m the Heroine of this story” genes kick in however, so as she knocks one of his Kimonos to the ground something falls out of it. Mind you, that is a pretty dumb hiding spot so I guess she wasn’t that far off after all. We don’t get to find out what she found yet though, because she’s interrupted by a loud noise.
Once outside Yuriko finds that the entire Manor is on fire. Majima magically appears and seems rather calm as Yuriko freaks out. He steadies her but is quickly interrupted by Mizuhito who screams at him to let her go. Majima taunts him by saying that he didn’t even think it possible that Mizuhito can run.
Hello 911. There’s a fire and a murder.
Mizuhito reveals that all of the things the Proprietress said are true. In fact he’s not just any Opium dealer, Majima is referred to as the “King” (agshskdl sorry I had to laugh). He got the information from one of his previous clients, revealing that Mizuhito would sell his body a times in order to protect his sister and help with the debt. Majima comments on the relationship between the two “siblings” and becomes super mad about it.
Tbh when I read this for the first time I had to read it twice to check if it’s really Majima speaking. His reaction makes more sense if you know the grand scheme of the game (I’ll add a link with my verdict later). But yeah moving on Mizuhito exclaims that the only filthy one is him and that Yuriko is a pure Maiden (are you sure about that.png). She concludes by telling Majima that they’re not biological siblings (why didn’t you just say that from the start lol) which seems to soothe Majima. He exclaims that “the curse never touched” her and yeets himself into the fire with these words.
And dead. But that’s beside the point apparently.
Some time later we see Yuriko who’s currently in Paris (paint me like one of your french girls coming full circle). She’s looking out on a balcony while thinking about the past. After the fire some random “stranger” got rid of their debt, which gave Mizuhito the opportunity to study art. His creations were not well received in Japan however (you mean people DIDN’T like him painting pictures of his Sister 24/7) so he went to France. For some magical reasons his art became a big hit over there and now they’re living a luxurious life.
Also the thing she found in Majima’s Kimono was a Chinese Bellflower. Yuriko still wasn’t sure if Majima killed her parents or not despite stating herself that these don’t grow where they live (girl wut).
What’s with that random paranthesis. Mizuhito says that there are always a lot of people looking at Yuriko during the parties, and that they want to “own” her by buying his paintings (which is not weird at all).
You’d think that they would see this as a chance to get out of this “sibling” relationship but apparently not. Also HER HAIR IS NOT BLACK FOR FU-...
Anyways. Yuriko says that she ran into Shiba which makes Mizuhito grrr horny so he throws her onto the bed.
Is it cringe? Yes. Is it an upgrade to “my little sister”?... Maybe. I’ll take it I guess.
Bruh. But Mizuhito wouldn’t be Mizuhito if he didn’t have an excellent plan, he even has two: either pretend you adopted the child from an Orphanage OR from distant relatives. Whta a grand idea that child will be so happy being lied to in order to hide their parents relationship.
That’s not how marriage works. Anyways that’s the end, thanks for sticking around. I hope you had a good time, I’ll be adding a small “review” like thing as a reblog later. I’d like to end this post with the following words:

I played Chou no Doku (so you don’t have to) - Mizuhito’s Route Part 3
I had planned for this to be the last part but I can’t cut everything down as much as I wanted to so the suffering shall end not just yet. Since I took such a long break I actually had to replay the latter half of the game cause my brain has rejected most of those memories to save at least a bit of the sanity I have left lol. But I promised to do this and I’m commited to see it through! I am the top Chou no Doku blog after all 😂 Also SPOILER warning. I put it under the read more last time but since it’s a thing they talk about constantly now I can’t do that anymore.
When we left off the last time Majima and Yuriko were having a ... sensual? moment in the garden with some vegetables. Apparently their... activities left her feeling invigorated.
After coming to the conclusing that that the vegetables made her feel alive (and definitely not the BJ instructions Majima gave her on a cucumber) Yuriko retreats to her room. While thinking about her brother she’s interrupted by a visitor: and who else could it be but Shiba. Mizuhito has also come to entertain said man (or rather to mark his territory) As usual the two men end up bickering like 5 year olds as Mizuhito tries to display how poor the family is doing in order to ward Shiba off. Since Yuriko tries to smooth things over at least a little bit her “brother” decides to run off to a Brothel once again.
Yuriko is irritated since he’s about to break his promise and ends up chasing him down. As I said this is like watching a bunch of children squabble.
If only it were just siblings being dramatic.
Here’s where the magic happens. Yuriko spends paragraphs explaining that her brother is still her family - even if they’re not related by blood and so on.
Can’t I just become a single old cat lady
I love how she calls him Brother in the same sentence that’s supposed to sell me that she loves him romantically.
But one choice later she’s all over him and saying stuff like “I’ve finally caught him” I mean wtf girl you promoted him from family to Lover in under a minute. So they end up huddling close together and Yuriko once again has her “mmm gotta talk about smell” moment. I think this gives us a pretty good idea what the sax scenes in the original are like lol.
Shiba eventually stumbles upon them and is obviously not happy with what he’s seeing. He parts ways with Yuriko by whispering into her ear that this Brother of hers is her biggest flaw. I mean he’s dishing out the truth, let the man talk.
I felt that.
I’m gonna puke. Cue gross moment of “Ohhh I’m a bad big brother because I want to kiss my little sister” “Noo we can’t to that Onii-chan” “Aww let’s at least try to see if we feel ~g u i l t y~” like my dude wtf. Honestly this scene was gross imo because he totally coaxed her into this and she just kind of convinces herself that kissing him is so a w e s o m e despite initially being totally against it like yikes.
WELL MAYBE CAUSE YOU LIVED AS SIBLINGS FOR Y E A R S
Voila, I told you.
Despite what one may think he doesn’t want to draw her nude yet. Since he makes such a big deal out of her being his ~innocent~ little sister Yuriko survived this encounter with her innocence still intact.
On the next day their Grandma pays them a visit to assess the current situation. Obviously the 1. solution to every problem in this game is either murder or getting hitched to someone that’s wealthy. Grandma proposes the latter.
They can’t decline her proposals immediately to avoid suspicion but to the two of them it’s clear that they want to keep their “relationship” going. Or maybe it’s not so clear because Mizuhito starts acting like a jelly 5 year old again.
Maybe it would help if you stopped calling him Brother with every breath you take.
Afterwards Yuriko models for him, but Mizuhito soon becomes distracted because he knows that even if they reject the current marriage proposals there will always be new ones incoming. He says that it will ~break him if Yuriko were to marry another Man (my dude let me tell you: you were just fine in the other routes I’ve played so far).
This shit so stupid even the game can’t take all of it.
A few days later Kyoko invites the two for dinner at her house. When Mizuhito leaves the room for a bit and after Yuriko whines about that:
Seriously why does everyone here have the mind of a child.
Kyoko takes the chance to tell Yuriko about the Geisha that her ... Brother... Lover?! what do I even call these two lol. The one her BroLover had been visiting frequently. Apparently she still posseses something that belong to Mizuhito and Kyoko wants to (find out if Yuriko and Mizuhito are facking) figure out how to relay this information to him. Obviously Yuriko with her 5 year old mind doesn’t want her lover visiting the Geisha so she asks Kyoko to keep it a secret.
On the way home we are subjected to another make out scene because Mizuhito got h*rny from Yuriko’s gaze. This scene is more “intense” to tell us that the frick frack is coming up soon but not quite yet.
If I took a shot every time she says Brother or Family then maybe I wouldn’t have to suffer like this.
I don’t know about you but I certainly don’t exchange gentle kisses with my older Brother.
After calming his raging... emotions Mizuhito says that they shouldn’t go too far since he thinks of Yuriko as special. Yuriko however feels “betrayed” by this like heavens forbid he didn’t rip her clothes off and bonk her in a dark dirty alleyway. How dare he.
In order to prevent Mizuhito from potentially bonking that Geisha who still has one of his “things” in a dark dirty alleyway instead Yuriko concludes that sending someone else to visit the Brothel is a great idea. She decides to ask Majima, her first love in case you forgot, and goes to visit him. When Mizuhito questions where she’s going in the middle of the night she comes up with the most convincing excuse ever:
Marvelous.
We’ll leave things here for now. So how will Yuriko’s first love react to this odd request? And how does this clusterfuck of a story end? You’ll find out in the (this time for real) final next part!
(The last part will definitely be up before Thursday cause I’ll be focused on Collar x Malice Unlimited then)
I played Chou no Doku (so you don’t have to) - Mizuhito’s Route Part 2
You can read the previous post [here]. A little warning that this part won’t be very funny because it deals with some heavy topics and I don’t want to be disrespectful. Also I didn’t mind this segment of the story as much because things got at least a little more interesting.
Last time we learned that Yuriko’s Father was likely murdered by someone close to the family. She talks to her Brother about it but the conversation is not very interesting so let’s move on. Shiba eventually visits once again, inviting Yuriko to a party hosted by Kyoko’s family. Mizuhito also shows up and since his “cute little sister” wants to join the party he obviously has to go as well.
Cue extravagant party. Shiba is unpleasant as usual but fortunately gets smacked down by Kyoko:
You go girl. Aside from that nothing of interest happens and our siblings slip away from the party to eat at a hotel. Cue awkward exchange between the two:
We all know his answer. But this conversation is only just getting started...
HOW DID WE EVEN GET HERE. After telling Yuriko that she’s basically the only woman he could ever love she gets mad, saying that he shouldn’t joke about these things with his little sister.
Coming up is a big spoiler for the rest of the game so I’m putting it under the read more. Also trigger warning for brief mention of r*pe:
Mizuhito reveals that there’s no blood relation between the two at all. His real father is a distant relative of Yuriko’s mother who was a womanizer. He used to frequently visit the Manor and apparently forced himself on a Maid, which resulted in her being pregnant with Mizuhito. We don’t yet get an explanation as to why Yuriko’s Dad decided to act as though Mizuhito was his though.
Yuriko is visibly shaken up, but she finally understands the real reason why Mizuhito’s personality changed so suddenly. Even Yuriko’s Mother was unaware of his true origin. Mizuhito wonders if a “fake” heir like him could ever do anything for the family. Yuriko quickly remarks that nothing could ever change the time they’ve spent together
But Mizuhito exclaims that he’s never thought of Yuriko as his sister. Not once.
Yuriko who was initially confused and at least mildly disturbed suddenly doesn’t seem as weirded out anymore. This exchange totally reminded me of the Kombucha meme.
They return home. During the night Yuriko wakes up to her Mother screaming. She’s screaming and writhing in bed - surrounded by Chinese bellflowers. Eventually her heart gives out and Yuriko has to face another tragic loss.
The Manor has been in even more trouble following the days after Shigeko’s passing. Yuriko tries to figure out the meaning behind the Bellflowers, which are also called “Kikyo”. Mizuhito shows up and basically tells Yuriko to let things go - since whoever plotted this scheme of revenge should be satisfied now (wow thanks you knight in shining armor - it’s not like you two could be in danger or anything).
Mizuhito is much more interested in how Yuriko will handle Shiba’s proposal now. Very helpful. Eventually he goes on to explain the relationship between Yuriko’s parents more. Apparently her Fathers love was so intense that he did a lot of messed up things in order to keep his Wife close (taking Mizuhito in as his “son” despite that not being true to make her jealous for example).
VIVA LA INCEST MAKES IT’S RETURN. That at least explains what Shigeko was refering to with all of that “blood relationship” talk. Apparently Yuriko’s Father only became more gentle (aka stopped being batshit crazy) after the Brother passed away.
Mizuhito apologizes for the things he said to her that night in the Hotel and says that he wants to save her from this messed up household. Yuriko is smad and doesn’t really know what to make of the situation.
Cue weirdly suggestive scene with Majima in the garden:
-- that’s where we’ll leave things for now. Tbh They dumped most of the interesting story parts into this section. There’s not much else left now - especially cause we don’t get the 18+ scenes. So the next part will be the Grand? Finale.
I played Chou no Doku (so you don’t have to) - Mizuhito’s Route Part 1
By popular demand - here is Onii-chan. If you haven’t seen my previous entries here’s [Prologue 1] and [Prologue 2].
The story continues after Yuriko’s Father was murdered on the night of her birthday. The Manor is in disarray and Yuriko is obviously not feeling well either. How nice that someone has come to pay her a visit:
The “nameless” man 🤦 Said “nameless” man aka Shiba is here because he wants to marry Yuriko (in exchange for money). What better way to woo a woman who has just lost her father than wispering filthy nothings into her ear. Fujita eventually steps in because stranger danger. Shiba is undeterred however, stating that “one day he’ll be able to do whatever he wants to her” ewww. Nii-chan also joins the party to back her up, reliable as a...
... floating weed. Shiba leaves soon after - and during dinner that night our reliable floating weed clearly shows us his priorities.
Yuriko’s Mother ends up collapsing due to stress, since Shiba finally offered a way out of their misery but Mizuhito doesn’t want to take it because he’s got totally platonic lurv for his little sister.
Hmmmm...
Shiba returns and apparently he’s become familiar with “you could at least buy me dinner first” because that’s his new plan to woo Yuriko. Hideo is also present for some reason (I forgot why and don’t feel like going back to read it lol).
Like you and me Shiba also noticed that Mizuhito specifially said “I won’t let my sister get married” instead of “I won’t let my sister get married to you”. Yikes.
No one likes Shiba’s new dinner plan however, except Fujita who states that it wouldn’t be bad for Yuriko to spend some time outside the manor for a change. Not on Onii-chan’s watch however. He says that Yuriko is only allowed to go if she takes someone with her.
HMMMM... Anyways I guess I appreciate them telling me that Majima can’t be selected for the first run. But I’m sure I could have figured the rest out myself. Being the rebel that I am, I at least tried to bring Majima along.
Nii-chan does not approve. However, he definitely approves of himself coming along.
Can you guys not. Honestly after seeing this I really don’t get why Shiba doesn’t abort mission cause adsgjfkdl wtf. At least Hideo understands me:
So Shiba takes the two to a (it was french I believe) restaurant. The conversations are pleasant... not. Shiba brings up that the Nomiya family used to do quite well financially, but started having problems after monopoly became prohibited. He also takes a jab at Mizuhito’s frivolous behaviour while he’s got the chance.
I thought you’re a floating weed and not a willow tree. After a bit more back and forth between the two men Shiba has to leave. Before making his exit however he puts a Rose into Yuriko’s hair.
Onii-chan immediately pulls the flower out...
... and probably chugged the enitre thing lol. The two decide to go home and after talking about how that restaurant didn’t “fit” Mizuhito...
Dread. He claims he wants to wash her hair because it’s been “a long time”. We all know that’s not the real reason, so he finally admits that...
Don’t let Mizuhito hear you say that, he’s gonna shave your entire head so that there’s no hair left for Shiba to adorn with flowers.
True. Yuriko has some bright moments at least. During night time (and before her “romantic” hair washing session with her brother) Yuriko decides to visit her bedridden mother. Mum has some... interesting? things to say
Excuse m-
W- ... I mean I guess her meaning is a little bit ambiguous but it’s like she’s saying incest galore or something afashskjsak. How convenient that we’ve got a date with a certain someone lined up...
If you start serenading about scents again I’m going to-
I hate you. Being the scent connoisseur that Yuriko is she notices that her brother used a lemon scented shampoo to wash her hair. After she asks him about it Mizuhito says that he got it from one of the Ladies he frequently “visits”. Yuriko gets upset and demands that her Brother stops going to “that place”. He says that he can’t stop craving woman due to the fact that his Stepmother never showed him love. So he seeks out woman that give him the feeling of being loved. Yuriko gets mad, stating that these woman don’t love him truly, which doesn’t deter him because “true love doesn’t exist anyways”.
↑ Me going through several stages of suffering reading this stupid conversation
Yuriko ends up professing her love, but Mizuhito remarks that it’s not the kind of love he’s thirsty for (he literally says thirsty xD). Since Yuriko doesn’t back down Mizuhito ends up asking if she’s willing to give him the kind of love (aka sax) that “those woman” do. You can say yes or no but it’s obvious which choice we have to take. In the end he embraces her, vowing that he’s not going to meet other women anymore. Luckily the scene ends here and we don’t have to witness Yuriko showing her love (yet).
On the next day Yuriko notices a strange man slithering around the Mansion. It turns out that he was a journalist, trying to dig up some information about her Father’s murder. None of the guys want to talk to Yuriko about what’s going on - but never fear Kyoko is here. And Kyoko reveals that...
... because there were no signs of a struggle, which likely means that her Father knew the murderer. Concluding: one of the guests is the killer.
So what’s the truth behind her father’s death? And when will Mizuhito paint Yuriko like one of his french girls? Stay tuned for the next part to find out!

So apparently, Lucky Dog 1’s Ivan Fiore, Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari’s Mizuhito and Diabolik Lovers’ Laito are all voiced by the same person!? WHAT!?
I played LD1 first and Ivan's voice was deep and rough sounding.
I also fell in love with Chou no Doku Hana no Kusari’s Mizuhito (omg his voice was SO sexy). Then, when I played the prologue for Dialovers and heard Laito’s voice for the first time, I went like… wait a minute, isn't this Mizuhito..?
So I can't believe Hirakawa Daisuke voiced both Ivan and Mizuhito/Laito. I can't believe that it's the same person. I’m just… Seriously, I’m impressed.
And yes, I’m sorry for being extremely slow in realizing this. This is probably really obvious to most people. Again, I’m new to seiyuus and everything^^;
But my one question is. I can’t stop seeing Laito without imagining Mizuhito's voice coming out of him. So how can I stop this from happening???
I used to not know too much about seiyuus and things like that. Sure, I really liked the voices the characters had, but I guess now I see why a lot of people become fans of certain seiyuus <3 It’s funny how I’m starting to become a fan of someone mainly for their voice. I mean, it’s really cause of the size of their voicebox, larynx and the vocal chords they were born with..
