What is Angelique?
Angelique is a series of games that have been put out for computer, Nintendo, Playstation, and Sega Saturn. They are something of a combination of dating simulator and Sim. You play as a young girl who is in competition to become the new Queen of the Cosmos. You are usually given a world to take care of, which you do by asking for help from a number of guardians who lend you their power to help nurture your planet. In addition to giving you their help, you can also date them, though at the end you'll need to choose between love . . . and becoming the all powerful Queen (cause apparently you can't do both . . .). The series has also branched out into animes, cd dramas, novels, and comics over the years.
The basic plot is: The cosmos is watched over by a Queen who directs her Guardians (each of which can control a specific power called Sacrae) to nurture and keep the balance of the cosmos. However the Queen and the Guardians all eventually start to lose their power eventually, meaning a new Queen or new Guardians must be chosen.There are numerous other cosmoses in the Universe and each (in theory) is watched over by a Queen who is supported by her own Guardians.

This collection
I was first introduced to Angelique in 2000 and played through the first 2 games. Unfortunately due to the difficulty of obtaining goods from Japan back in those days I lost touch with it. In 2012 I moved to Japan for work and rediscovered my love for the games and their characters. Fortunately the books and games are surprisingly cheap to get secondhand so I was able to build up my collection, which I plan on sharing with you all here on this page.
With the exception of the NeoAngelique anime, the series has never been offered in English. As a result it can be difficult to find information on Angelique and it's various products. Hopefully these pages fellow English speaking fans to figure out what they want for their own collections.
I hope you enjoy it!

Upcoming Updates
I am mostly focused on translation as I play through the games. I finally got around to getting a PS TV so I can record playthroughs for the Vita games and hopefully add translation subtitles to the video. In the meantime I've been doing a private playthrough of the NeoAngelique Angel's Tears game to get a feel for it.
I am also working on fixing up the Voice Actor page and adding scans of the DVD slip case covers. I will also be adding summaries to the anime page.
