«©NCSX» "Boys Love" games aren't screaming up the sales charts but they have their loyal audiences. Sometimes all one can hope for is a successful niche in the wild, woolly, and fickle world of gaming. Togainu no Chi was originally released for the Japanese PC in 2005 and has garnered a devoted (mostly female) fan base over the past few years. The publisher Nitro+ ported the game to the Playstation 2 in 2008 where it went on to sell 50,000 copies. This week, Togainu no Chi attempts to find yet another audience on the PSP.
The backdrop of the game is a dystopian Japan after the ravages of a third World War. The story follows the tribulations of a reluctant warrior named Akira who fights for his freedom in the Igura Tournament which is administered by a drug kingpin. Fighters in the Igura battle each other to the death and gather their opponents' dogtags as they move their way up to the final conflict against the kingpin of the Vischio mob.

The mature content in the PC original has been wiped from the PS2 console and PSP handheld conversions of the game to make it somewhat family friendly. The characters in the game are invariably chiseled, dark, somber, and apparently appealing. The PSP version features a new character named Yukihito whose voice is provided by Hiroshi Kamiya, a new opening movie, exclusive CG events, new voice dubs, and updated music to present a more palatable value proposition to players who've already played the game on the PC and/or PS2. Players may choose to view the game in 16:9 ratio (new PSP mode) or the original 4:3 aspect with borders.
