【HoneyBee】 A Leading Otome Game & Female-Oriented CD Brand of the 2020s! Discover the Titles Released by HoneyBee, Some of Which Have Even Been Adapted into Anime!

Calling all otome game fans! Today, let me introduce you to the game brand “honeybee.” If this name rings a bell, you’re probably the type who gets excited by sweet stories and captivating voices, right? But some of you might be thinking, “I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it......”

Honeybee originally started as a label that planned and produced “healing CDs” featuring popular voice actors. Many of its works focus on “voice” itself, creating a soothing world that gently eases daily fatigue just by listening. Among them, the “Hitsuji de Oyasumi” series captivated many hearts, as if someone were softly whispering beside you.

The series that marked honeybee’s entry into the otome game industry was “Starry☆Sky”. This is a school romance game themed around the 12 zodiac signs, and upon release, it instantly won the hearts of many otome game fans. Each character embodies traits related to their respective zodiac sign, making their bittersweet love stories the essence of youthful romance. Moreover, honeybee’s unique strategy of releasing character-specific drama CDs and situation CDs before the game launched also became a hot topic. Being able to experience a character’s voice and personality before playing the game? It’s the perfect setup to find your favorite!

While honeybee’s works are rooted in “youthful freshness,” in recent years, they have expanded in style. For instance, beyond school settings, they have introduced fantasy themes and even darker, more mature elements. By categorizing genres under different labels, they have made their works enjoyable for a broader range of fans.

Another hallmark of honeybee is its subtle crossover between works set in the same universe. Finding a character making a brief appearance in another work adds to the immersion in the world of honeybee. These playful details are just irresistible, aren’t they?

One thing that cannot be overlooked when talking about honeybee is its unique title sense. They have a distinctive naming style—long, poetic-sounding genre names that are hard to forget once heard. This unique naming sense has become a hallmark of the brand, making it instantly recognizable as a honeybee work. Even before picking up a title, you’re already drawn into its romantic world.

In 2019, honeybee’s operations were transferred from Asgard Co., Ltd. to Arithmetic, but its charm remains unchanged! They will continue to create works filled with healing and heart-fluttering moments.
