Amelie Doree takes a look at Angelique, a guilty pleasure series that I can't fucking read easily and likely will never get any sort of translation. (Because 1: Koei are cowards. 2: A good chunk of the guys fail the "half your age + 7" test with the protags and uhh, yeah that's a bit sketch. 3: There's only like 2 bilingual fans who know how to rom hack and the text encryption schemes keep tripping them up.)

I would like to gush a bit about Olivie in general. I'm not the right person to say definitively if he's good queer representation or not. But I think he's pretty decent for the time and place he was created. He's not a joke character: he's part of the main cast and you don't need to do anything special to get his endings. He's a bit campy, dresses femininely, and loves fashion (he was a model/designer before becoming a guardian), but it's not treated as a negative thing. That's just how he is.
@summersonmars@mstdn.games(I'm not sure "he" is the correct pronouns for him, by the way. IIRC, he uses "Watashi", and corrects someone in an OVA when they mistake him for a woman. And I don't think anyone at Ruby Party could fathom the concept of being Non-Binary in the early 1990s.)
Also his voice actor is Takehito Koyasu. Dio Brando. And I just think he's neat.
