I just started playing
Akiba's Trip Plus on the PSP. Its sucks how every time I search for an English walkthrough for this game, I always see walkthroughs for
Akiba's Trip 2 on the Vita instead. So, I'm using the Japanese wiki as my guide for this game.
Here's the link to the site.
My Personal Money Making Schemes:
- Early Game: When you have access to the park, start a fight with one of the school girls, then run around and whack other people to start an angry mob. Soon, they'll start fighting each other and even wipe out some people but their items will still drop. So, you can finish off everyone or most of them by doing a strip combo after enough damage is dealt. Just make sure your clothes are strong enough to tank attacks (My chara's clothes had 22 and 18 def when I did this). Each school bag sells at around 700 yen, plus there are 500-1000 yen drops too. Warning: This will decrease the affection for Akiba people and Kageyashi.
- The building rooftop is also a good place to farm for money to buy skill books. Office lady enemies show up often and they drop money and a PC that can be sold for around 1000 something yen. Again, you can create an angry mob, deal enough damage and go on a stripping combo.
- Go to the building rooftop where that masked guy is and talk to him. Agree to fight 3 consecutive enemies. You get rewarded if you succeed. The reward depends on the rank of your opponents.
- Take missions that make you fight 30 people. Use items like ホットケーキ to increase your clothes' health so you don't have to stop and fix yourself often.
- Take the mission 深謝の知恵袋 (A Bag of Wisdom on Sincere Apologies) for any faction. There will be an angry mob. You're not supposed to fight back during that mission or else it fails, but for the case of just making money, you can fight and just retake the mission over and over. However, if you choose to fight, you will have to watch out for the police. Usually there's around 1-2 of them. If you choose not to fight, you can have at least one of them arrested. Then run near the arrested person and have the mob accidentally hit the police. The police will then join the fight, and you can just stand there and watch them beat each other up. Sometimes, 2 policemen will beat each other up, which is an amusing sight. I just run and collect all the drops.
- Co-existence Route: Fight 30 maidos in the mission メイドまみれ. You get 18,000 yen AND lots of maido outfits and weapons! Just remember to pick the weapons up every 5 drops or so cause if you leave them there for too long, they'll disappear.
- Late game for Co-existence Route: Right before you go to UD+ to meet the Queen, guitarists will spawn like crazy almost everywhere except Junk Street. You can use this chance to farm for upgrade materials and money to purchase skill books.
Important stuff you need to know:
- To upgrade weapons and clothes, you need Tungsten (タングステン) and Kevlar (ケブラー). You can buy Tungsten from the junk shop beside the Maid Cafe in the Alley (裏通り). If you sell a weapon that's +3, Tungsten +3 will appear in the shop. So, you basically have to farm for + items and sell them if you want them to appear in the shop.
- To be able to loot some clothes you strip, you need to purchase skill books.
- If your clothes are starting to get loose during a fight, you can press L to stop battle mode. Your clothes will go back to their full health after your character fixes them. Press L again to resume the battle.
- Affection for each power (Kageyashi, NIRO, and People of Akihabara) is affected by the number of people you strip belonging to each side. If you strip a lot of Kageyashi, they will immediately attack you as soon as they see you. The same with NIRO agents (although the ones in UD+ seem to always attack you anyway). For the people of Akihabara, they will immediately run away from you when they see you. So far, the affection didn't have much effect on the Co-existence and NIRO ending. I don't know yet if it does affect the Kageyashi ending.
- You can initiate a fight by pressing square near a person, continuously bumping into people, or hitting them while you're in battle mode. The bumping method works better for people with rare clothes. There's still a chance for them to run away, but it's better than pressing square.
Computer Parts
The ジャンクパーツ (Junk Parts) you collect can be given to Yatabe in exchange for money when he is at the HQ in the alley. You need to have all parts before you can do an exchange:
ジャンクパーツ「CPU」
ジャンクパーツ「メモリ」
ジャンクパーツ「マザーボード」
ジャンクパーツ「電源」
ジャンクパーツ「HDD」
How to get them? Bump into people.
Strip Rock Paper Scissors
This game has so many mini games. Well, if you're missing some outfits in your collection, playing strip rock paper scissors with the guy standing in line with the life-sized cardboard anime girls at the roof might help you out. Just make sure you save before playing cause if you lose, it's game over.

What's interesting about this particular mission is... this guy is actually an important character. This particular mission also affects the ending according to the wiki, but I'm not sure exactly how it influences it. Read below for spoilers lol
He'll mention that he ran away from his wife and child. Because of that, he came to regret it, so he's secretly trying to look for them. However, he needs a picture of Rui to see if she's really his daughter. At the end of the co-existence route, Rui's mother aka the Queen eventually tells her about how she was in love with a human, who was his father. They lived a normal life together with Rui. Those days were like a dream. However, when he found out that she was Kageyashi, he ran away. So that probably explains why she's up for wiping out humans.
