Here you can find links to all of the walkthroughs for Collar x Malice.
When you start Collar x Malice, Aiji’s route will be locked until you clear the stories of the four other bachelors (sorry if you were itching to date the group’s otousan first). On top of this, you won’t be able to choose Shiraishi’s route until at least your second playthrough—however, I strongly recommend you save the enigmatic profiler until your 4th playthrough because his route is pretty spoiler-heavy.
My recommended route order would be:
Mineo or Takeru → Kei → Shiraishi → Aiji
Everyone apart from Aiji shares a common prologue, and you can choose to only play this twice to get to the save point where the game branches into the individual routes—if you don’t feel like playing the same chapter 4 times.

I have tried 10 times and cannot get good Ending for Mineo. frustrating.
Hm, I’m not sure what could be going wrong for you. I’ve tested the guides I wrote up myself, to spot any mistakes, but when I follow my walkthrough, I can get to Mineo’s good ending. It’s not like his route is locked from the start either. Sorry I can’t be much further help 😞
(sorry in advance for the bad English)
i’m following your advice and the list of boys, thank you for your efforts invested in creating walkthroughs. <3
i have already passed mineo, now I am passing takeru, everything is calm and perfect, the commentator above (Cj) is wrong. and which character do you remember and liked the most from CxM?
Hi and thanks for your comment! Aw your English is totally understandable, don’t worry about it ☺️
I’m glad to hear you find the walkthroughs helpful, it makes writing them worthwhile knowing I can help others 🫶🏻 And thanks for confirming that the guides are correct and working for you.
My favourite in CxM is Takeru 🩵 I love his design and I’m weak to a well-written tsundere haha. My second favourite was Kei! I’d love to hear who ends up being your fave once you’ve finished the game ✨
Thank you so much for this guide!
Question from a fist time player of an Otome… sooo I really want to play the Yanagi route, do I have to complete every ending from the other characters or I just need to play them until I hit a end?
Thank you in advance!
Hey, and welcome to the world of otome games! ☺️ It’s been a few years since I’ve played Collar x Malice, but I can pretty confidently say it fits with the same pattern as most games. Usually completing a route in order to unlock another route means reaching the good ending (in some cases it could be enough to get a tragic love ending too, but bad endings are usually not enough). For CxM, Yanagi’s route should unlock once you’ve gotten to the good ending for each of the other characters. But give me a shout if you get stuck! I hope that helps, and I hope you like some of the other routes on the way to Yanagi as well 🩷
