1. Introduction
===============
Di Gi Charat (AKA Digiko for short) first started off with a mascot named
Dejiko from a shop in Japan known as Gamers. Their mascot was the star in
all their Anime advertising on TV and soon became so popular that it
started its own show, Manga and all sorts of other merchandise.
It all started with Dijiko setting off from her home Planet Di Gi Charat
to go on her training in becoming a princess. Along the way, she arrives
on Earth in her cat shaped spaceship only to find it destroyed afterwards.
Stuck on Earth, they soon get taken in by the manager of a toy shop named
Gamers. Ever since then, they help work at the shop and it's also from that
day on that they go through all sorts of wacky events.
This is the second GBA installment and like its predecessor, it's also a
shop management sim. This time round however, it's more of a card
game more voice effects.
The Black Gemma Organisation has appeared on Earth and have opened up a
store and it's up to Dejiko and the others to out compete it.
Developer: Broccoli
Release Date: 15th July 2004
Price: 6090 Yen

4. Starting the Game
====================
Dejiko will come greet you upon starting the game for the first time.
Dejiko: One day, Dejiko was taking a walk~
Along came a new manager~!
....
Wh- Where am i-nyo?!
And I came here to greet the new manager as well...
Then it turns out Dejiko's the one who gets lost-nyo.
{Note that in polite Japanese, people talk in 3rd person
form. Hence, Dejiko refers to herself by her own name.}
Nyo?
Nyo-Nyo!
You there, pressing those buttons!
Were you listening to Dejiko murmuring there?
[Yes/No]
At this point you will get 2 different reactions from Dejiko. Either way,
she'll get angry and asks you "nicely" for directions to the Gamers store.
The one you'll be managing.
# Outside the Gamers Store
Dejiko: Ho!
I'm back safely at Gamers!
Thank you! You're so kind...
You were a great help-nyo!
What is your name?
If it's OK, please tell me-nyo.
Unfortunately, there is no English alphabet here. You'll just have to enter
something that you'll recognise. Once that's done, Dejiko thanks you again
with your name this time and hopes to meet again.
With that, you'll finally reach the main screen. Your options will be:

5. Walkthrough
==============
When you start a new game, Gemma will greet you mistakening you as a
customer.
If you haven't seen or read Di Gi Charat already, you'll probably want to
know this before you start reading the dialogue here. Each character has
adds there own sound to their sentences. So you'll find sounds such as "-
nyo" or "-gema" a lot at the end.
Note that in this game, there is no losing. Even if you lose you will still
move on with the story. How you progress through the story depends on how
well you do in each stage. So in other words, this walkthrough is ONE WAY
the story can progress.
Gema: Welcome-gema~!
Welcome to Gamers~!
What is it you're looking for today-gema?
...Oh, you're not a customer. You're the manager-gema.
It's your first time running a shop, isn't it?
First of all, I'll explain how to run the shop.
...Hmmm? Sounds pretty noisy over there-gema.
Dejiko: Usada's a demon-nyo! An evil spirit-nyo!
Rose: Hey, you don't have to go that far!
Gema: Usada and Dejiko's fighting again-gema.
I'm sorry manager-gema. I'll go have a look. Be right back-
gema...
+------------------------------------------------------+
| プロローグ,「よびこむカードで來い來いにょ！」 |
| Prologue "Come on Using the Advertising Cards-nyo!" |
+------------------------------------------------------+
GOAL: Attract 300 people within the day!
Dejiko: Usada~~~!
Rose: Oh, what's wrong Dejiko?
Dejiko: Don't ask "what's wrong" with an innocent face like that-
nyo!
You just decided to eat my Manjuu without my permission,
didn't you-nyo?!
Rose: Oh, that Manjuu that was in the cupboard.
It was really sweet and delicious!
Dejiko: Th- That's so cruel-nyo~~
I brought that with me to treat myself after a day's
hardwork-nyo -nyo~~
Rose: Ah, Ahahaha. I'm sorry...
Puchiko: Dejiko just sitting away idly watching TV today-nyu.
Dejiko: ....
Rose: ....
Dejiko: Doing such a thing against such an honest Dejiko!
Usada's a demon-nyo! An evil spirit-nyo!
Rose: Hey, you don't have to go that far!
Dejiko: I challenge you-nyo! We'll settle this with work-nyo!
Rose: That's fiiiine with me. I accept!
But can a someone like you who normally slacks off be
worthy of being my opponent?
Dejiko: ....
Nyo~~~~~?!
Gema: Ah, they're challenging each other over some silly reason-
gema.
Dejiko: Ha! That's <name>-shan over there!
Gema: Dejiko, you've met-gema?
<name>-san is the new Gamers manager!
Dejiko: What a great find!
You could have told me back then-nyo~~~
Rose: Manager <name>-san, nice to meet you.
I'm Rabi en Rose.
Look forward to your acquaintance.
Dejiko: You can just call her "Usada"-nyo!
{Dejiko's nickname for Rose because of her bunny ears.}
Rose: Don't call me Usada!
Puchiko: Puchiko-nyu.
Gema: GemaGema.
Dejiko: And I'm Dejiko-nyo!
Nice to meet you manager-san -nyo~~~~
Rose: Well now, great timing. Now the manager can watch.
Lets start the match.
Dejiko: Nyo....
Ma- Manager-shan, I want you to help me-nyo!
Gema: Manager-san, please help Dejiko-gema!
[Yes/No]
This part's pretty funny. Keep answering no and Dejiko will beg you to
help... for a while. Then she gets mad with her famous "me kara beam"
(which literally means "beam from the eyes") and you're forced to help in
the end.
Now for the tutorial. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way of skipping
this so I'll explain what Gema says briefly so you can progress onwards.
Everyday, you will start with a deck of cards. By attaching the right
cards to Dejiko, you can assign jobs to her. The current purple ones are
Job cards and the person is responsible for drawing in customers from
outside the store. So, attach any of these cards to Dejiko.
Once that's been done, Gema will draw your attention to a number that
increases to 3. This number is how popular your shop is. Needless to say,
the more popular it is, the more customers you get. If you look at Usada's
side, you'll find that she's piled up more than one. Doing so increases the
level of skill at that particular job.
Answer Yes from [Yes/No] to say you understand.
You can make use of up to 3 cards each day so attach another 2 to Dejiko.
Now that 3 cards have been picked, Gema will ask if these are the cards
you're using [Yes/No]. Since there's not much choice right now just answer
Yes.
Once both sides have decided what their cards are, the computer's cards
will be revealed and the stats to the corners will be updated. Gema will
now point to where the customers come from (the south-east) and where they
leave (the north-west). Then he'll point to the counter under the cash
sign. This is number of customers that came to your store during the day.
Towards the bottom is the popularity gauge. The gauge will lean towards
either side depending on who's shop is more popular. During the simulation,
you can move around using the D-Pad.
After the simulation has finished for the day, you'll notice the counter in
the top-middle of the screen increase to 2. It's now the 2nd day of the
match. Attach another 3 advertising cards to Dejiko and answer Yes to start
the sim again.
Third day now and you'll notice no one's achieving their target. Puchiko
comes along to lend a hand. Add one advertising card to Puchiko and you'll
find a 1.5x multiplier to side. This is called a Combo and happens when you
have 2 people with the same job cards. Attach another 2 cards and win the
match.
Gema: Congratulations. You won!
Dejiko: Nyo Nyo Nyo. Is this all you've got-nyo, Usada-san?
Rose: Kyaaaa!
This is sooooo pitiful!
Puchiko: It's all thanks to Puchiko-nyu.
Don't forget the Manjuus -nyu.
Dejiko: Nyo Nyo?!
+---------------------------------------------------+
| プロローグ：「にせよびこむカードでおジャマにょ！」|
| Prologue "Interfere with Fake Advertising!" |
+---------------------------------------------------+
GOAL: Attract 300 people within the day!
Rose: Dejikoooo!
Dejiko: ...Nyo?
Puchiko: ...Nyu?
Rose: I challenge you, Dejiko!
Dejiko: ...Challenge me?
Puchiko: That's a custom in China.
{Puchiko used a pun here. Rose says "shoubu" but Puchiko
thought she heard "shoubuyu".}
Rose: We're continuing where we left off yesterday!
Dejiko: It's been concluded already-nyo.
Usada-san doesn't like losing, does she-nyo~~~~
Rose: It was unfair of you 2 to team up!
That's no win!
Dejiko: Well, it's going to be Dejiko's win anyway so I'll accept-
nyo!
Puchiko: No-nyu!
Rose: I told you didn't I?
Dejiko: Nyo?
Rose: I told you that it's a challenge!
Dejiko: You did-nyo?
Rose: Welcome!
Dejiko: Nyo NyoNyo?!
Rose: Our guests for today. Members of the Black Gema
Organisation!
Dejiko: Wh- What are the Black Gema doing here?!
Rose: They looked like they had a lot of free time in front of
the store so I got them to help!
B. Gema: What are we doing here -Geba?
We have to go make preparations before the Black Gema Store
opens...
Organise your cards whatever way you want. You can't win at the moment.
You'll notice that on Rose's side they have a combo of 3 people so the
multiplier is 2x. The popularity guage is now weighed more to Rose's side.
On the 3rd day, another member from the Black Gemas arrive. 4 members doing
the same job now gives a multiplier of 2.5x. Things look bleak until a new
card appears. An Interference card; Fake advertising. This will help
interfere with the opponent's advertising.
So, assign the new card to someone then pick out 2 more cards. You'll find
attaching the new card means that the old job cards are thrown away. Well,
it can't be helped. After all, you can't be in 2 places at once. Don't
worry though. The discarded cards are just returned to your deck and will
appear again.
Now, just attaching an interference card won't do anything. You must play a
lucky game of roulette to see if the card has any effect. To be successful,
you must hit a star.
If you're successful, you'll find that the popularity of Rose's store drops
to 0. Now all customers will come to Dejiko's store!
Be careful, though. These cards can also backfire on you if you hit a skull
instead of a star. An 'X' means your card is discarded without being used.
Answer Yes to move on. Now watch as one of your staff goes over and
disguises themselves to move customers over to your store.
Gema: Congratulations! You won!
Dejiko: Nyonyonyo. Is that all you got, Usada-san?
Rose Uuu...
Dejiko: My my, Usada-san's store doesn't even have one customer -
nyo.
Weren't you a bit foolish taking me on -nyo?
Rose: Kyaaaaa!
It's so pitiful!
B. Gema: Ummm.
Can we go now -Geba?
+-----------------------------------------------+
| プロローグ：「会員カードで人気者にょ！」 |
| Prologue "Be Popular Using Member Cards-nyo!" |
+-----------------------------------------------+
GOAL: Attract 300 people within the day!
Rose: Dejikoooo!
Dejiko: ...Nyo?
Puchiko: ...Nyu?
Rose: I challenge you, Dejiko!
Dejiko: ...Challenge me?
Puchiko: Shoubus are people who practise martial arts-nyu.
Rose: We're continuing where we left off yesterday!
Dejiko: Usada's way too persistent -nyo~
Rose: Quiet!
I won't let you run away after winning!
Dejiko: Man, how troublesome -nyo.
Rose: Oh~? Could it be you're afraid of losing?
Dejiko: How rude of you to say that when you haven't beat me once -
nyo!
Rose: The third time's the real thing! I'll win this time!
Puchiko: If there's a second time, there will be a third-nyu.
Rose: Uuu...
Anyway!
I challenge you again, Dejiko!
Dejiko: Aaa~ She talks too much -nyo~
We'll do as you say -nyo~
Rose: Do it seriously!
Ah, this card is...
But... If I do that then... Hmmm...
Dejiko: Usada's in trouble -nyo...
Putting up such a stance when she's going to lose anyway -
nyo~~
Rose: Grrrr!
I'm angry now! I don't know what will happen!
Assign your advertising cards like you did before. You'll then find Rose
has a fake advertising card. It ends up leveling the popularity.
After the sim, you'll find that the popularity is back to normal again.
This is because the intrusion cards only last for a day if it's successful.
Afterwards, you must play roulette again to use it. Since Rose has managed
to hit a star everytime so far, this could go on forever...
Just then, some new job cards appear. They're member cards. Attach them to
someone and see what happens.
If you look at where Gema is pointing to, you'll find a +1 in brackets.
This shows how many members are joining your store each day. The members
counter acts the same as the popularity one. The only difference is that
these customers are not affected by intrusion cards such as the one Rose is
using right now! As with job cards, you can pile up more than one on the
same member. Don't forget that each member can only do one job at a time.
Answer Yes to Gema's usual question and assign the remaining green member
cards. Once again, Rose will lose.
+-------------------------------------------------+
| プロローグ,「販売カードでウハウハにょ！」 |
| Prologue "Great Profit with Sales Cards-nyo! |
+-------------------------------------------------+
GOAL: Achieve sales of 500,000 Yen within the day!
Rose: Dejikoooo!
Dejiko: ...Nyo?
Puchiko: ...Nyu?
Rose: I thought about it and I think that attracting customers
for a day isn't really a challenge.
Dejiko: Nyonyo?
Rose: A store's goal is to raise sales!
So, this time the winner will be the one to raise 500,000
Yen in one day.
Dejiko: Another challenge -nyo~~
Give it up already -nyo~~~
Rose: Hmmm...
Ah, that Manjuu was delicious.
Dejiko: Nyo?!
Rose: The outer layer was so sweet. Just the sort of high class
things that Dejiko would hide.
Dejiko: That's right -nyo!
Usada, you ate my Manjuu without permission -nyo!
Rose: It was so~~~ delicious!
Dejiko: I won't forgive you -nyo!
I challenge you, Usada!
Rose: That's how it should be!
Dejiko: I will never forget the bitterness I had~~!
Puchiko: You're the one that completely forgot about it -nyu.
Assign your cards as usual and you'll find Gema helping Rose out. Dejiko
isn't very happy of course and now Rose has member cards too! Just before
you start the sim, Gema will point out the sales counter which is the total
amount of money customers spent for the day.
On the 2nd day of the sim, Dejiko notices Rose's end of day sales are
steadily increasing. It's all thanks to the member cards. But now you also
have new cards - red sales cards. So, assign the new card and Gema will
point out to another figure again. This is the amount of money that each
customer is willing to spend everytime they're inside your shop. Answer Yes
to Gema's question again and assign the remaining sales cards to win.
Gema: Congratulations!
You have raised your sales over 500,000 Yen -gema!
Rose: Grrrrr...
Gema: Gema's your staff you know, -gema...
Dejiko: We done it -nyo!
Puchiko: We done it -nyu!
Rose: No~~~~
Why does it always always end up like this~~~~?!
+------------------------------------------------+
| プロローグ：「ダーボ２倍でゴーゴーにょ！」 |
| Prologue "Go Go with Multiples of 2-nyo!" |
+------------------------------------------------+
GOAL: Achieve sales of 1.5 Million Yen within the day!
OK, guess what Rose is saying again? I'm sure everyone's all too familiar
with it by now so lets move on quick. Another new job card pops up which is
related to stocking up and knowing your products. This card helps increase
your store's popularity along with sales by a little every day. So, start
piling up those stock cards and start the sim.
Next up are multiply cards. Assign one of them and Gema will explain this
multiplies your staff's level. However, they only work for a day. After the
day is over, they will be discarded along with one of the job cards it was
assigned to. Another thing to note is that you can not pile up multiply
cards. Assign the remaining 2 cards and finish this part of the prologue.
+------------------------------------------------+
| プロローグ,「イベントカードで大忙しいにょ！」 |
| Prologue "Real Busy with Event Cards-nyo!" |
+------------------------------------------------+
GOAL: Achieve sales of 1.5 Million Yen within the day!
Rose: *Sniff*
Dejiko: Usada, you don't seem very happy -nyo~
Puchiko: Early stages of fatigue.
Rose: That's not it!
Dejiko: There's no sense of power in her anger either -nyo~~~~
Rose: Haa... *Sniff*
Dejiko: What's wrong -nyo?
Rose: Well... No matter how many times I try, I can't beat you.
I can't even beat a Dejiko who normally slacks off work...
I'm really a useless person...
Dejiko: Doesn't seem like Usada -nyo~~~
It feels really weird with Usada like this -nyo~~~
Rose: *Sniff*
Dejiko: Nyo~~~
If it's her usual self she would be angry and saying
something like "How rude!" -nyo
This is serious -nyo~
Puchiko: Serious -nyu.
Dejiko: Lets cheer her up by loosing on purpose! -nyo
Puchiko: That's a good idea =nyu.
Dejiko: Usada~~~
Dejiko hasn't forgotten about what you done to her Manju -
nyo
Rose: Hmm... I'm sorry.
Dejiko: So I'm challenging you -nyo!
The one to earn 1.5 million yen within the day is the
winner -nyo!
Rose: I know...
Dejiko: It'll be odd if we lost so suddenly so lets play it out
normally for a few days -nyo.
Puchiko: Lets -nyu.
Dejiko: Dejiko's really smart -nyo.
Puchiko: You can say that again -nyu.
So, keep playing normally with your stock cards until the new card appears.
You won't be able to use it until after Rose cheers up and Gema whispers
something. Play as normal and you'll find Rose has the same card too.
The new card is a manager card - event. As the name suggests, only you the
store manager can use it so it can't be assigned to your staff. This event
card will double the number of customers you get for the day. However, to
use such manager cards, it will cost you a certain number of job cards. In
this case, it will cost you one. Manager cards work the same way as
intrusion cards and make use of the roulette wheel. Answer yes to Gema's
question to continue.
Now that Rose has used her manager card, it's time for you to use yours.
Select the card first and then pick one of your job cards to spend. Pick
the store you want to use it on and lets play roulette!
+------------------------------------------+
| プロローグ,「いざ、しんけん勝負にょ！」 |
| Prologue "Now the Real Challenge-nyo!" |
+------------------------------------------+
GOAL: Achieve sales of 5 million Yen!
Rose: Hey, Dejiko.
Dejiko: What? -nyo
Rose: Why don't we have a real match for once?
Dejiko: A real true match?
Rose: It won't be limited to a day this time. Saving up 5 million
yen will decide who wins and loses.
Dejiko: Sounds fun -nyo!
Rose: It's a one off match with no grudges no matter who wins.
How about it?
Dejiko: I'll do it -nyo!
This is the last match -nyo!
Puchiko: Nyu.
Gema will then point out where the total sales figure is located and then
introduce the Black Gemas again.
B. Gema: H- Hello -Geba.
Gema: Thanks for taking the trouble to come here even when you're
so busy. -Gema.
B. Gema: You're welcome -Geba.
By the way, our promise...
Gema: I've prepared 100 free vouchers for Familes' Drink Bar! -
Gema!
B. Gema: I'm having a hard time with the family budget so it's a
great help -Geba~~
Gema: So, lets get the match started -Gema.
Gema has nothing to teach the manager anymore -Gema!
Both sides have a fair and square match -Gema!
Now you get to make use of everything you have learned in the prologue to
see if you can beat Rose.
GOAL: 5 Million Yen
OPPONENTS: Rabi en Rose, Gema, Black Gemas
After you win...
Dejiko: We done it -nyo!
Dejiko's win -nyo!
Puchiko: We won -nyu!
Rose: Hmmm, it's a pity but I lost.
I can't believe I would lose... The manager's pretty good.
Dejiko: That sounds like you're saying I'm no good at all -nyo!
Puchiko: You're right -nyu.
Rose: Ahaha, sorry. I was joking.
Manager, pleased to be of acquantance.
Dejiko: Dejiko too -nyo!
Puchiko: Nyu.
Gema: The long and heated battles with the Black Gemas begins -
gema.
Manager, please take care of Dejiko and the others -gema!
B. Gema: P- Please be nice -geba~~~

+-------------------------------------------+
Gema: Manager, the real store management begins now -gema!
Listen carefully to what Gema, Dejiko and the others say so
that we are ready for the battle with the Black Gemmas -
gema!
Dejiko: Hmmm...
Rose: What's wrong, Dejiko?
Dejiko: What on earth are the Black Gema Organisation?
Rose: Don't ask me that...
They're people that you should know after all.
Dejiko: So you say but Piyoko seems to have a thousand grudges
against me -nyo.
Well, that's what you call fate -nyo.
Rose: The Black Gema Organisation has a lot of mysteries to them
huh...
Now that you mention it, why do you stay at Gamers?
Dejiko: Nyo?
We- Well... So that I become a big idol or go through the
training to become a princess...
Gema: Stop -gema!
Now isn't the time to be discussing such matters -gema.
Dejiko's goal right now is to win against the Black Gemas -
gema!
Dejiko: That's right -nyo! Gema's right -nyo!
I got distracted by trivial matters and lost sight of our
original goal -nyo.
Dejiko's goal right now is to beat win against the Black
Gemas with Manager-shan -nyo!
Rose: Don't get bothered by trivial matters, everyone.
Puchiko: Don't get bothered, don't get bothered -nyu.
Gema: Moving along, this time we'll go have a peep at the
Black Gemas.
B. Gema: Wasse Wasse. We're so busy preparing to open the store -
geba~!
Piyoko-sama and Admiral Riku-sama staying home because of
all this preparation -geba!
If we were to have a competition now, we wouldn't win -
Geba...
B. Gema: Ssssh~~ Not too loud -Geba.
The Gamers will hear you -Geba!
B. Gema: I- I know -Geba...
We'll work quietly...
Gema: Yes! Manager-san, this is our chance -gema!
Since it's only the Gemas from the organisation, they're
no real contest for us -gema
It'll be like having tea. Workout before breakfast -gema!
GOAL: 3 million Yen.
OPPONENTS: Black Gemas
After you win, you will receive different rewards. This time round you
should receive 3 Gema coins and a slacking off card.
There are also other cards you can win if you meet any of the following
conditions at the end:
1. The total level of your staff members is greater than 10.
2. You have 5 million yen more than your opponent.
3. Success in roulette 3 times in a row.
Once you've received your rewards, you will receive a grade as manager.
Dejiko: Nyonyo, piece of cake -nyo!
Rose: I feel a bit a sorry for them.
Puchiko: It's forbidden to have feelings for the enemy -nyu.
Now that you have Gema coins, you may spend them on goods for your store.
each good has a different effect on your store such as the very
first item, the Margaret Flowers. These add 1 to your popularity.
To purchase them, select the item you want and then place them on one of
the ends of the tables.

Gema: We've just finished our first battle with the Black Gemmas -
gema!
But they were only members of the Black Gemmas. Piyoko and
the 3 leaders weren't there -gema!
We mustn't let our guard down just because the last round
was easy -gema!
Dejiko: Hmmm...
Rose: What's wrong, Dejiko?
Dejiko: The 3 leaders Riku, Kai and Kuu... Who on earth are they -
nyo?
Rose: Who...? They're the leaders of the Black Gemas, right?
Well, they're really just Piyoko's followers...
Dejiko: They must be some commendable guys if they're serving as
Piyoko's henchmen -nyo.
Rose: I feel sorry for them now that you went that far.
Gema: Haa... You can't choose who your relatives or superiors are -
gema...
Dejiko: ...Are you trying to intimitate me -nyo?
Gema: No- Not at all -gema!
It's the best thing to happen in my life -gema...
Rose: Heheh. Dejiko and Gema gets on well don't they?
Puchiko: .....
B. Gemas: ...So that's how it was only us who fought with the Gamers-
geba!
Riku: Hmmm, goodwork.
Kai: But now that we're here, there's no need to worry anymore!
Kuu: Now that we, the 3 leaders are here, we won't lose to
those Gamers!
B. Gemas: Waaa, hurray for the Black Gema Organisation -geba!
Riku: By the way, Lt. General Kai and Major Kuu.
Kai: What is it, Admiral Riku?
Kuu: I'm ready anytime!
Riku: What do you think of all 3 of us challenging the Gamers
right at the start...
Kai: ...You mean?
Riku: Ha... It's not a bad idea to wipeout the Gamers in one go
but...
It won't be much fun involved in that then...
Kuu: Woah! Just what a bad guy would say!
Kai: I see. That's our admiral! He's always looking at different
matters than us.
Riku: First, we'll do a little scouting with one of us
challenging them.
Kai: I agree. No disagreement here.
Kuu: I don't really mind!
On one condition...
Kai: On one condition?
Kuu: I be the first one to do it!
Kai: Then I'll be the second.
Riku: Then that means the admiral will be the last huh.
B. Gemas: Riku-sama, Kai-sama, Kuu-sama! We will join you -geba!
Kuu: Alright~ Then follow me quietly!
B. Gemas: Geba~!
Gema: Hmmm... The 3 leaders have started to make their move -
gema!
It's a big mistake to think they are the same as the
members -gema!
If you don't want to lose, be on your guard -gema!
GOAL: 5 million yen
OPPONENTS: Kuu
REWARDS: 1x Guard, 3 Gema Coins
You will now reach your deck screen. This is where you pick 40 cards to use
during your battles. The first number under each card before the slash is
how many of that card you currently have selected. Use the A button to
select and B to de-select a card. R for an explanationa and Select to view
all card together.
After you win...
Kuu: Ah, I lost...
Damn it~ I'll remember this~!
Dejiko: Nyonyo, we got rid of some boring people again...
Rose: We're doing well! Lets keep this up and win the next time
too!
Puchiko: It's an unselfish victory -nyu

Gema: The first match of the 3 in a row match with the leaders
just ended -gema!
The next opponent will be Lt. General Kai -gema!
Both the winners and the losers from the first round, do
your best -gema!
Dejiko: Hmmm...
Rose: What's wrong, Dejiko?
Dejiko What kind of person is Lt. General Kai?
Rose: Hmmm...Now that you ask me, I'm not sure.
He's someone that's below admiral Riku and higher than
Major Kuu right?
Puchiko: Talking without any sense -nyu
Kai: Achoo!
What's wrong Lt. General Kai? A cold?
Kuu: If it's medicine for colds then I can mix some up for ya.
I am a physician after all!
Kai: It's fine... I'm all right. No need to worry.
Probably someone talking about me.
{Some Japanese believe that when they suddenly sneeze for
no reason then, someone is talking about them behind their
back.}
B. Gemas: Kai-sama!
Kai: What is it?
B. Gemas: Could you give us our next orders -geba!
Kai: There's no special orders to give. Just the basics like
last time.
Here's a 1 point lesson.
The longer a battle gets, the more important the way you
use your cards is.
The difference between a beginner and someone experienced
is whether they make use of the cards' effects.
Do you understand?
B. Gemas: Got it -geba!
Gema: The next opponent is Lt. General Kai -gema!
Just as Kai says, the real battles depend on how you use
your cards -gema!
Use your cards relentlessly and experience it for yourself -
gema!
GOAL: 5 million yen
OPPONENTS: Kai
REWARDS: 1x Event, 3x Gema Coins
Kai: Uwaaa! I'm so sorry Piyokora-sama!

Dejiko: Continuing on from Kuu, our battle with Kai's over -nyo!
Rose: Our next opponent is Riku.
Puchiko: It's said, "when there's a second time, there's a third" -
nyu.
It's also said, "the third time is the real thing". -nyu
It'll all depend on the manager -nyu.

What's wrong Dejiko?
Dejiko: How to you read the characters "admiral" -nyo?
Rose: Huh?
...Well, lets see?
I'm sure it was ge... ge... ge...
Gema knows right?
Gema: Gema!
"Admiral" is read "admiral" -gema!
Rose: That's not what I meant...
Puchiko: It's read "gensui".
Rose: That's right! I wanted to say "gensui"!
Dejiko: Stare.
Rose: What's with that look!
I just forgot for a while there!
Gema: In other words, the admiral is greater than a general -
gema.
If you want to know the details, ask my brother and father -
gema!
Riku: It's finally my turn huh...
Di Gi Charat, prepare yourself.
With my name as admiral of the Black Gema Organisation, I
will win!
B. Gemas: Admiral Riku, you're so coool -geba!
Riku: Hmm, really? Eheheheh...
Kuu: You don't have to waver about like that though...
Kai: Well, that's how the admiral is.
There's no doubt that he'll do it...
Gema: The highest ranking leader Riku is here -gema!
It's all right. Believe in your own power -gema!
If you fight the way you did up til now, he's not someone
you can't beat -gema!
GOAL: 5 million yen

REWARDS: 1x Forget, 3x Gema Coins
Riku: Uuu, I can't go see Piyokora-sama again...
Dejiko: Nyonyo, the admiral loses reputation -nyo
Rose: By the way, now that the 3 in a row leader match is over,
what next?
Dejiko: I'm sure those 3 that lost will come back as
strangers and bother us again -nyo!
Puchiko: You shouldn't lie -nyu
Riku: Uuu, I've lost all reputation now...
Kai: But admiral, now we know what the Gamers manager is like.
Kuu: Next we join up and challenge them!
Riku: Yes, we will get our revenge...

Dejiko: Hmmm...
Rose: What's wrong, Deji-

Rose: Kyaaa~~ This is different from the usual routine.
Kai: Excuse us for messing up your usual routine...
Kuu: We are the Black Gema Organisation!
Riku: And I am Admiral Riku!
Kai: I am Lt. General Kai!
Kuu: I'm Majot Kuu!
B. Gemas: And we are the other members -geba!
Dejiko: Grrrr! What's with you guys -nyo!
Jumping in on people like that and then introducing
yourselves -nyo!
You really are a shameless lot -nyo!
Rose: She's right! Give her some good competition!
Dejiko: U~sa~da~!
What are you on about -nyo~!
Rose: Like~I~said~
Don't call me "Usada!"!
Kuu: Uwaa, they just forgot about us and started a fight!
Puchiko: If you just want to talk, I'll listen -nyu
Riku: O- OK. Thanks.
Gema: My my. Sorry for all the trouble...
Kai: No no. We should be the ones apologizing...
Riku: What we wanted to say is that we've now seen what abilities
Gamers have...
After the 3 in a row fight.
Gema: Hmmm Hmmm -gema.
Kai: And so this is what we thought.
Without the help of Piyokora-sama...
We will defeat Gamers ourselves.
You could said ruining the diaries of Di Gi Charat.
Puchiko: And -nyu?
Kuu: And so in the next match, the 3 of us will join up and
challenge ya.
The ones to lose in the next contest will be suffer
the fate of losers.
Puchiko: What's the "fate of losers" -nyu?
Kuu: Sounds mething like "Haha! What idiots!"
"Your mother's a *beep* and you're a *beep* too!"...
Gema: Well, I kind of get what you want to say -gema...
First of all, we'll go back and tell Dejiko -gema.
Puchiko: We'll go tell -nyu
Gema: And that's what they said -gema.
Puchiko: That's what they said -nyu
Dejiko: Wait a minute -nyo!
Why didn't you discuss something as important as that with
me first before making a decision -nyo~!
Gema: It's all right. No problems if we win -gema!
Rose: But if we lose, Dejiko will suffer the fate of losers...
Dejiko: ...
Rose: It's all right, don't worry!
Even if you lose, it has nothing to do with me.
When you're losing, do your best to lose OK!
Puchiko: Leave the rest to Puchiko -nyu.
Gema: Uuuu... Worrying so much about Dejiko...
Dejiko has such good friends...
Dejiko: Me kara beam!
Gema: Gemaaaa~~~~~~~~~~~~~!
Dejiko: How dare the Black Gemas!

Rose: Ye- Yes miss.
Ahaha, maybe we teased her too much.
Puchiko: It's the opposite -nyu.
Dejiko: Listen -nyo. This is the first big match -nyo!
Rose: If we win here, a new road might open up!
Puchiko: This is where you show your skills, manager -nyu...
Gema: It's become something important somehow -gema.

Now, what happens next depends on if you win or not. As I said at the start
of this walkthrough, the story moves on regardless of whether you win or
not. However, it does take different routes and you will unlock different
CG pictures.
The following is what happens if you win...
Riku: It can't be...
Kai: We still couldn't do it by working together...
Kuu: I won't admit to this contest! I won't!
Dejiko: Nyonyo, sore losers aren't we?
Shameful Black Gemas.
Heheh, I should be calling you the losers shouldn't I -nyo?
Narrator: That moment, on the far side of the galaxy.
On Planet Di Gi Charat...
Queen: My my, we can't have it progressing like this...
Dejiko must go through a lot more training to become a
princess...
Here goes!
Lets get rid of something!
Dejiko: Unyo?
What was that surge there -nyo?
Gema: Dejiko, we're in trouble -gema!
Dejiko: What are you so upset about -nyo, Gema?
Gema: Due to the movement of a mysterious power, Gamers' economy
is dropping radically -gema!
Dejiko: Nyoo~~~~~~ How can something like that happen -nyo!
Riku: Yes. We're the opposite. The Black Gemas' economy is
reviving rapidly!
Kuu: Amazing! The V character amongst the rumours is back!
{Must be referring to the manager rankings in the game.}
Kai: I don't think so.
Riku: I don't quite get it but, the Gamers lose!
Dejiko: Gaaan. {In shock.}
I can't believe something unexpected like this would
happen... It's not possible -nyo~
Kai: Hahaha, no matter how it is a win's a win and a loss is a
loss.
Kuu: Yay! Losers, losers~!
Dejiko: Nyonyo~, I won't admit it -nyo~
Dejiko won't admit to how this is progressing -nyo
Rose: Ah, Dejiko. Where you going?
Puchiko: Let her go -nyu...
Queen: Dejiko... This is your mother's lover...
Get through this test and become a wonderful princess...
Dejiko: Uuu, I can't be beaten like this -nyo~
Now I don't feel like doing anything -nyo~
Gema: Dejiko~ Stop staying in your room and come out quick -gema!
We have no reached the end of the Black Gema episodes. Now Gema will sum up
your overall rankings and give you a rating.

Rose: Hmmmm, that's troubling...
Gema: We have to get her to stand up again -gema...
Rose: Just because we tell the Black Gemas Dejiko's taking a
break, they wouldn't take it easy on us...
Puchiko: It'll have the opposite effect -nyu.
Kuu: Heheh, a Gamers without Di Gi Charat is no match for us!
Like I said, I won't take it easy on them because...
B. Gemas: The Black Gemas are bad -geba!

Rose: Aaah, i'm beat!
It's good that we won this time but we need to revive
Dejiko quick or we'll be trouble!
Gema: I am truly sorry -gema...
Rose: It's nothing that Gema should apologize about. It's not
Gema's fault after all...

Old Man: Excuse us.
Old Lady: Excuse us.
Gema: I was wondering who it was. It's the old lady and old man
from the the Ankoro Cafeteria -gema...
Old Lady: We're so sorry that you always have to look after our
Puchiko...
Gema: No no, I should be the one saying that -gema.
Rose: It's so rare of the old lady and old man from the pastry
shop to come to Gamers.
You wouldn't be here to buy some goods, would you...?
That couldn't be...
Old Man: Huhuohuo!
We heard from Puchiko that Dejiko-chan wasn't very happy.
Old Lady: Even so, this was all we could do.
Old Man: Shushushushu!
The only thing I can do is this special skill, Ayatori!
{Making shapes by arranging a piece of string between your
fingers.}
Shushushushu!
Old Lady: Ji- Jiccha, you don't have to do that!
Old Man: I see...
Rose: Ahaha...
Old Lady: Cough...
Now that I have your attention, here. Take this!
Gema: Th- This is Puchiko Yaki -gema!
{Yaki means anything that is baked. Usually bakery.}
Rose: And there's so many too!
Old Man: Huohuo! If you ned any more we can make as much as you
need!
Rose: Just stacking these on the shelves will attract customers!
Old Lady: It's OK if you sell them but pastry is something you eat.
Have some.
Rose: Itadakimaaasu!

"Lets eat!".}

working in this street for years -gema!
Rose: Iyaaa~n.
I'm going to put on weight if I eat too much...
But who cares!

You're missing out if you don't eat delicious food Mogu

As the title suggests, there are some left over cakes that still need to be
sold. Too many cakes have been made and now if either shops don't get them
to sell, they're going to make a loss. So, you NEED those Sales cards!
Otherwise, for every customer that comes in you'll make a loss. This
makes the game harder now because your money can go negative.
While Sales cards can boost your sales, they can also have the opposite
effect if the person is slacking off. Likewise, if you use manager cards
that runs some big sales event but you have no one working as a
salesperson, you're going to be losing a lot of money too.

Something weird is going on with Piyokora and the other leaders of the

Once you've beat this round, you've won the game and beat the Black Gema

Gema will then go onto congratulating you and explaining that the game
isn't over. New features have now been unlocked and they are:
1. New stages.
If you play the PKO episode and beat chapter 5, you will unlock a new
story. To unlock the extra stage, the levels of all staff members must

conditions.
2. New items.

3. Stage Selection.
Play the stages you liked again.
4. Album.
You can now view the illustrations that were used in the game.
So, enjoy the new features!
===================
6. Playing the Game
===================
This section is for reference and for anyone who has already played the
prologue before reading this guide.
The game basically goes through the same cycle each turn.
Starting off, you will reach a deck screen. Here you may pick 40 cards
before doing battle with your rivals. Under each card are 2 numbers. The
first is how many you've got selected and the second is how many you
possess. Once you're done, press Start to move onto the store.
Now, lets have a look at the main screen first. To the top corner of each
side of the screen, you will see some icons. These are in the order of:
Target Value (Depends if your goal is to gain customers or money)
End of Day Sales
Store Popularity
Members (+/-No. of Members Each Day)
The first 3 are pretty self-explanatory. As for Members, these are
customers that are not affected by your opponent when Manager cards are
used.
The game is turn based with each turn being equal to a day. You can view
how close you are to the target by looking at the green bar to the top. The
closer it is to the centre, the closer you are to fulfilling your target.
It goes for your opponent too of course.
During each turn, you will be allowed to make use of a maximum of 3 cards.
It can be a mix of Job, Intrusion and Multiply cards. You can either
allocate them to your staff or you can throw them away. To throw them away,
select the card with the A button then move it to the black slot to the
side.
More than 1 of the same Job card can be attached to each staff to boost
their effectiveness. You can see their levels next to them go up.
If you give the same Job card to more than 1 member, you'll create a combo
which will multiply the overall stats by 1.5 or more. e.g. You give 2
members an advertising job card each. This multiplies the overall
popularity by 1.5.
A 3 member combo gives a multiple of 2x, 4 gives 2.5x and so on.
Once you've used 3 cards, Gemma (the big yellow ball) will confirm if
they're the ones you want to use, Yes/No. You can also select the orange
circle to the far left or press Start to end your turn if you decide
only to use 1 or 2 cards.
When you have finished your turn, you can watch the simulation run as your
staff works and the residents of Akihabara run in and out of the 2 stores.
Of course, your stats will update along with your opponent's ones.
You will also be able to see the day going by if you look at the bottom of
the screen. There will be a sun moving from one end of the screen to the
other. There will also be an icon with 2 residents of Akihabara (one green,
one grey) that acts as a gauge indicating which store the residents favour.
During the simulation, you will be able to make use of Manager cards
to turn things to your advantage. To do so, press the A button anywhere on
the map to bring up the card selection screen. Of course, your opponent
will also be able to to the same. It'll depend on what cards you have
that'll decide whether ot not you can counter them (see the Card List
section below). If you can counter them, you'll see Gemma popping up and
ask if you want to counter, Yes/No. These cards usually cost 1 of your job
cards.
Whenever you assign an intrusion card to a member, you will play a game of
roulette just before the day starts. The results of the different symbols
are the following:
Star - Successful. Keep the card for next turn.
Skull - Unsuccessful. Card backfires on you with negative effect.
Cross - Unsuccessful. Card is discarded.
Finally, once the day ends, you will continue with your next turn and go
through the cycle until either you or the opponent wins. Good luck!

7. Card List
============
There are 4 types of cards in the game: Job, Intrusion, Multiply and
Manager. Below you'll find a list of the cards and their effects.
仕事 - Job Cards
----------------
Job cards are assigned to your staff and they can do no more than one job
at a time. More than one of the same type can be attached to one member
to increase their level. If you decide to change a member's job, just put
the card with the new job type over the old ones and they will be removed.
よびこみ - Advertising. Call in customers and increase popularity.
販売 - Sales. Increases sales.
整とん - While stocking up and tidying goods, you attract more
customers to get them to spend more each time. Increases
popularity and sales money each day.
会員 - Increases number of customers each day. These customers
do not get affected by Intrusion Cards.
? - ?
おジャマ - Intrusion Cards
--------------------------
These are also considered as jobs partly. How long they last depends on how
lucky you are at the roulette spin. If you continue to get a star then you
will keep the card for the next turn. A cross means you lose it without it
taking effect for the day and a skull means it backfires.
にせよびこみ - Fake advertising. Disguise one of your staff to stand
outside opposition's store. Lowers their popularity to 0.
ガード - Guard. Protects your shop from fake advertising, fake
sales and fake member Intrusion Cards.

Self explanatory really. Multiplies the effect of the cards you have for a
member by 2x, 3x or 4x for the day.

Used only during the simulation phase of the game. Just like Intrusion
Cards, you must play roulette to decide if it's successful, unsuccessful or
backfires.

you get for the day. Negative halves the number of
customers. Costs 1 card.
大セール - Big Sale. Positive effect doubles the sales you get for

opposition's staff come over to help you for the day.
Negative means one of your staff will be randomly picked

staff to lose all job cards. Negative does the opposite
on a randomly selected member in your shop. Costs 1 card.

10. Credits, Conclusion & Contact Info
======================================
I never played the first game so I went back to it to find out the
differences. In the demo, I've found that they have now removed stock
management although you can still assign jobs. Graphics are pretty much the
same except they've improved the simulation graphics. Things look a lot
more colourful and lively.
They've also done away with the multi-choice dialogues that were so common
in the first game. Gone are also the mini games that cropped up now and
then.
Overall though, I prefer this new game with it's card system. It just seems
a lot more fun than repeatedly doing the same routines in running a store.
