Tokyo Afterschool Summoners who is also known as Housamo was developed by the company LifeWonders and was launched way back in 2016. It might sound like just another free-to-play gacha-based game, but it is one of the only LGBT-positive games on the market that features LGBT genres all in one place. It has an active fanbase whose community has created a torrent of artwork, fanfiction, manga, and fan translations based on the game’s story and characters.

The game's story is much more complex and imaginative than what you would expect from a mobile game. The story takes place in Tokyo City which has been walled away from the rest of the world, here 24 pillars of light or gates has been opened and serve as a way of travel for Transients characters who are heavily inspired from real world characters from various mythical pantheons, works of literature and different culture and arts all around the world.

Before you can start playing the game you will be first directed to the screen title where Language Settings options is present and where you are given a set of choices on the game's Language as of now there are only 4 Languages Present. After you have agreed on the Game "Term of use", you will be then redirected to the Character Creation screen where you will be given a choice which of the following {{Transient icon|Protagonist|size=small|show name=n}} looks you will choose followed by the voice, gender and player name, no worries all protagonist share's the same skill kit. When all of this has been fulfilled you will be then redirected the Transfer Form screen where you are given a chance to proceed or redo over your character customization.

When you officially start, you are greeted by a black screen followed by some dialogue and story, skipping and reading through that will result on a battle with some {{Transient icon|Red Slime|size=small|show name=n}} and a {{Transient icon|Red Oni|size=small|show name=n}}. Follow the instructions given by the Game and you will see yourself winning the fight with the result of obtaining the {{Transient icon|Red Oni|size=small|show name=n}} as a permanent unit and member of your team. To learn more about how Fighting I suggest to look and read the [https://housamo.wiki/Battle_System Battle System]

The game will then proceed to instruct you to add the {{Transient icon|Red Oni|size=small|show name=n}} as a member of your team, it will also instruct you to level it up just like how you will be doing with your future units. If all of this is fulfilled you will be then redirected to the Map which only has the Shinjuku Ward in it with the word next to it, click it and you will be then presented with a Title card "Summoners Guide" Click on that again and you will be sent to your team screen, click on the word "Start" on the bottom right of the screen to start the Story/Dialogue followed by a battle. This pattern will continue even for some future Chapters but sometimes there would only be Story/Dialogue and no battle, others would have you a fixed team to work on depending on the story's scenario.

The multi-pull doesn’t give you any special bonuses. So just doing single pulls is fine. Just don’t expect anything special from this gacha.

That said, 1☆ and 2☆ units are not that valuable apart from maybe the support oriented ones like Mobsters. And anyway, once you’ve done two multi-pulls on the Premium Gacha, you’ll have a good starting assortment of 3☆ or higher transients that are much more worth your time for investing coins and resources to build. Recent events also feature mobs as drops for doing free quests. Some non-event free quests also drop mobs.

Housamo has been present for almost 4 years, and there are already plenty of veteran players who have a Harem of maxed-out characters or even a couple of fully seeded units and if you're lucky enough to be accepted, you will now have a Support that can easily carry your party all on their own, and the best part of this is that friend supports characters cost nothing in team cost to borrow. Just bare in mind that you can still use non-allied units but they cannot use their CS during the battle. You can check a support unit if it can use it's CS or not by checking the right side of the screen every time before you start a battle if it has the word "Ally" in it.
