>Q: Do I need to know Japanese to play SideM?While knowing Japanese will certainly help you, it isn't strictly necessary. The game itself is really straight-forward, though you might miss out on some of the story elements. I had non-Japanese speakers in mind when creating this guide and aim to provide everything necessary you'll need to know to play the game, and plan to eventually translate the idols' profiles, manga, and other important information.
I don't know much about moonrunes aside from the usual phrases and I relied so much on the guide when I first started. The link to the guide:
