In the relatively short history of Japanese dating games, males have generally been the aggressors. With the exception of Graduation M and Tokimeki Girl's Side, it's the boys who pursue the girls. The appearance of male dominance mirrors real life, until the realization settles that it's the female who subtlety controls the dating game in both video and real worlds. In Konami's twist on the Tokimeki franchise, you play a female high school student who enters a private high school for a three year stint. In that time, one uses charm, guile and really good clothes to catch a man and perhaps love. Clothing plays an important factor in the game since it helps attract the opposite sex. Accessories (really) also help to create a snazzy outfit which will dazzle the boys. Girl's Side boasts 200 outfits to select from, which may be purchased with proceeds from your part time job. Failing fashionistas with no sense of style are able to rely on a younger brother for hints and clues as to who the boys at school are talking about and what they like. Using this covert information, girls may undergo transformations to attract the alpha males they fancy.
