Game Title: OZMAFIA!! (オズマフィア)
Scenario/Planning: ゆーます
Colouring/Art: さとい
Age: 15+
Production: Poni-Pachet SY
ＯＳ: WinXP/Vista/7
Genre: Oz x Mafia x otome x renai ADV
Planned Release: 2012
Official Game Site: http://oz.ponipa.com/




Seems like this is the first otome game from this new brand...
I ADORE THE COLOURING AND ART *o*
This game is clearly based on the well known "Wizard of Oz",
but twisted as an original Mafia/adventure/fantasy otome game xD

Girl's Style summary says that the heroine Fuka (フーカ name can be changed) is thrown to an unknown land with no memory of her past. All of a sudden, a strange silver-haired guy points a sword at her, and the whole town is running about trying to escape. When the heroine is resigned to the prospect she's about to be killed, a helping hand is extended to her by...? The heroine will live together with the members of the Oz Family, as in Mafia family, who are the brave boss managing the organization, named Caramia (カラミア), the shy and blunt Kanbu/executive leader Axel (アクセル), and the mild mannered, subdued advisor Kyrie (キリエ).
Caramia is based on the Cowardly Lion character of the original Oz story, Axel on that of Tin Man's, and Kyrie on Scarecrow's character.
Here's the Girl's Style link to the article for more info.

The art and coloring is lovely. (Is it the artist who did 街で噂の伯爵様?)
I wonder why the heroine's name is not Dorothy though.
There's been a mafia boom lately (in BL as well).
Probably gonna be some secret as to why the character seem different from the original?
There's a lot of potential to make this game crazy/awesome because of the setting but it may also be very loosely based on the original.

OMG I WAS JUST TALKING TO MY SIS ABOUT HOW QUINROSE SHOULD TOTALLY DO A WIZARD OF OZZ THING AND... whoa. this is pretty awesome. too bad for quinrose though xD

Agreed with Tegami on the lovely colouring. Mm yay to guys that aren't either wearing tights or baring their midriff =DD

[Xeiran]

Thanks for posting the information on this game Adrienne!
I hadn't heard of it till now, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun!
Wizard of OZ x Mafia should have a great potential to be really interesting

As for those of you wondering if the art is done by the same person who did the art for 街で噂の伯爵様,
I just checked and it's the same name.

Credits from 街で噂の伯爵様:
キャラクターデザイン・原画・ＣＧ：さとい
キャラクター着色：INO　さとい

I thought the art was beautiful! I really love her work, so that makes me even more excited about this game!
(Too bad it's so far off now though! )

[Spadey]

Seriously dat coloring. The artist leveled up like a gagillion times from 街で噂の伯爵様.

They were originally gonna do something with Bjorn&Bjorn and the original design of the heroine was a lot different, but I prefer the new design. If only I saved the old design... I never expected them to go full out commercial.

Thanks for posting! ヾ(´▽｀*ゝ"
Love the watercolor-esque art- it looks so soothing. Somehow it seems as if the whole game is going to be bathed in a bright, glowing light now XD

I wish there was more than 3 playable characters though- maybe they'll release a 4th unlockable route...? *crosses fingers*

[Spadey]

Site updated with the rival family, the Grimms.

They've also been updating their blog with lots of 4komas. Axel is so adorable~

[synchronicitykey]

The art is lovely <3 I remember stumbling upon this on a blog and clicking the banner and falling in love with the site.
I wish they updated moore frequently, read that the next update will be in October
Can't wait^^

[tam-timmy-toe]

Ahaha I love how Red (well, now called Scarlet) is a hunter. If only he was a girl then it'd be total girl-powa. But it's ok he's moe as a nice black-haired boi. Haha Grimm... I'm not into the fact that just cuz Oz is supposed to be a "fairy-tale" that automatically calls for another "license-to-include-the-well-known-fairytales" theme. But oh well. Scarlet is cute.

I wonder what they're going to do with their adaptation of the actual Oz characters. For example, I can see that Axel and Tin Man's "want a heart" thing going on since he's like the shy and blunt guy and then it can be like "oh, you had a heart in you all along ahaha". For Carameia it could just be about like leadership and fear and courage etc. a pretty common theme. But then for Kyrie... Idk. Wanting a brain? But he's the haraguro-ish type no? So what does that have to do with not having a brain? I think the whole "pretending-to-be-dumb" theme would be stretching it a bit for him... Hmmm.

[synchronicitykey]

It's quite an interesting combination tbh.

Oh and the site has been update with two new charas

http://oz.ponipa.com/special.html

http://oz.ponipa.com/stars-22.html So (?)

and Caesar http://oz.ponipa.com/stars-21.html

I like the design for Caesar *wishes she could use google translator on the site but it's impossible* X_X

[Adrienne]

Everyone, you are welcome, happy to share this news for this promising game with you ^.^
I am also happy to see such interest about it here, and updates from fellow forumers, guess I am not the only one excited about this one xD
I ADORE CAESAR....HE'S THE SEXIEST OF THE LOT, PERIOD!
Judging from some sexy magazine scans I've glimpsed, with Caesar holding the heroine possessively in his arms, I am in love with him already^^
Hope there are more updates at the official site, and some sample CG or something.
Speaking of updates, 2 new characters have been introduced at the official site, Pashet - A NEKO-MIMI CHARA xD - and Heidi.
link for Pashet, link for Heidi
OMG, THE NEKO CHARA IS SUCH A CUTIE xD

I like the design for Caesar *wishes she could use google translator on the site but it's impossible* X_X

Synchronicitykey, what I understood from the main site about Caesar is that he is described as an ookami/wolf, he is the leader of the 'Wolf gang',
and what he says as his catch phrase is "you are my prey - down to/till (every single) drop of your blood, you are mine"

[Yunii]

Pashet is supposed to be puss in boots, right? I didn't even realize it until I saw his logo.
The story page have been updated too, if anyone is kind enough to translate, please do :>

[Misha]

I'm touched upon reading the story page xD
Loose translation below. Please excuse my lousy translating skill.

Spoiler

The one who brought rainbow into my dull future were you.
With cheeks as red as an apple, you were brought here by a hurricane.
In order to get my brain, Axel's heart, and Caramia's courage,
we travelled with you, who wore a pair of silver shoes.

In the end of the journey, you returned to your faraway home.
The love we were supposed to have ended before it even begun.

Since then.. well, a lot have happened.
We controlled a part of a certain town.
I'm not sure if it's a good thing, but it's a town full of quirky enemies.
Fighting them is tedious, and yet it's a good way to kill time.

A long time has passed, so much that we can't remember your name anymore.
..and once again, a girl suddenly appears in front of us.
A girl who doesn't have any relatives nor memories.

Caramia and Axel are dense and don't realize it,
but once again, I can feel fate — with the brain you gave me back then.

For you, who brought colors into my world...
The fools who keep chasing after your shadow, are starting a journey

Seems like they (well, or at least Kyrie) were in love with Dorothy in the past.

Oh and yes Yunii, Pashet is Puss in Boots. Also, Heidi leads her own gang lol.

[synchronicitykey]

^It's soo touching =O

This game seriously is going to be awesome and touching..really. So it's like in the past the events of the wizard of oz took place, like them looking for the things they were lacking (heart, brain, courage) now this is more interesting

I'm just a little bit disappointed that I found out that Pashet was a girl, I remember reading somewhere that -.- I was so hyped about Pashet then when I read he was actually a she, my world just started falling into pieces x_x lol

[Spadey]

Wait, Pashet's a girl?

On their staff blog they have this when they released the silhouettes of Heidi and Pashet:

主人公を含めた女３人（？）の描きおろしと

Including the protagonist, an illustration of the 3 (?) girls.

The question mark makes me feel like everyone just thinks Pashet is a girl and he's actually a guy, but I could be wrong. Pashet's marked as capturable though so unless it's some yuri like Gekka, I'm just gonna hope assume Pashet's a guy.


Edit: Whoop de shoop. Profile says female knight.. STILL HOPING HERE.;_; Oh well. I don't really mind though because Pashet is cute.

[Ice Archeress]

Yeah, actually I was wondering about that too. The question mark thing in that blog post. I also started questioning whether Pashet's actually a guy or something like that. I did a double take when reading the profile and even got a second opinion on whether there could be any other meaning than "female knight" OTL

I wish they would update more often~ >o< In their blog, it actually says that this game was slated for release in summer 2011, but they pulled it back to improve the quality or something - I already have super high expectations XD. I'm a bit disappointed that Hansel isn't capturable (I was all prepared for some Gretel vs Fuka rivalry) but I'm more than excited for Caesar and Scarlet. =w=~

[synchronicitykey]

Wait, Pachet's a girl?

On their staff blog they have this when they released the silhouettes of Heidi and Pachet:

主人公を含めた女３人（？）の描きおろしと

Including the protagonist, an illustration of the 3 (?) girls.

The question mark makes me feel like everyone just thinks Pachet is a girl and he's actually a guy, but I could be wrong. Pachet's marked as capturable though so unless it's some yuri like Gekka, I'm just gonna hope assume Pachet's a guy.


Edit: Whoop de shoop. Profile says female knight.. STILL HOPING HERE.;_; Oh well. I don't really mind though because Pachet is cute.

I hadn't seen that on their blog o_O

Hopefully your theory about everybody thinking Pashet is a girl but being a guy in reality is right. Im hoping that he's a guy as well but yeah, I got shocked when reading Pashet was capturable, I'm not sure if I'll be able to take some more yuri like in Gekka.. I totally thought Pashet was a guy..cos I normally think that girls pretend to be guys at times but not that guys pretend to be girls o_O so far I havent stumbled upon something like that

Fingers crossed Pashet is a guy >_<! I totally fell in love when seeing Pashet so..uh..yeah lol

[Ilinox]

I found this wonderful person who is just as obsessed over OZMAFIA as everyone in here.

http://ice-archeress...l.com/8971.html

They did some amazing translations of everything ^^.

[Spadey]

Nice.^^

Here's the blog post about the question mark: http://staffnote.ponipa.com/?eid=27

The blog got updated with another 4-koma today too. I'm starting to think that Pashet's just a girl though after seeing the 4-koma. That first panel is so feminine that I can't imagine Pashet being a guy now. Doesn't really bother me though and all the other capturable guys seem awesome so oh wellz. Gonna be hard for me to talk about Pashet until gender is confirmed though. Keep having to say Pashet Pashet Pashet instead of he/she lol.

[tam-timmy-toe]

o. i just realized. pashet and pony pachet. (LOL MAKER AVATAR) aanyway um ya im srsly hoping pashet isn't a girl cuz i mean if he/she's capturable then... yuri end? LIKE HARUKA 5??? o gosh please just... no. please.

buut anyway. WHY CAN'T WE CAPTURE HANSEL?? BAKA CHARA FTW MAN (i guess we'll just have to wait for fandisc? LOL)
