Ahh - u just gotta love Japan eh? Ever innovative...

- From wired.com:
Romance videogames aren't just for lonely Japanese guys anymore - the latest ren'ai titles for PS2 now target girls.

In Tokimeki Memorial: 'Girl's Side' and the best-selling 'Kimagure Strawberry Café', the protagonist is female, and her goal is to snag a boyfriend. Pick your favorite fella, pursue him through the branching story paths, and maybe you'll end up living happily ever after.

"I play them because I want to fall in love," says Ayuka Nishida, 16. "They have boys of everyone's type."

For variety, NEC's Private School Heaven: Boy's Love Scramble! puts girls in the role of a male student dating other high school boys.

"I don't think they are gay," Nishida asserts. "Their love is pure and not about sex."

Uh, OK!
