For such a short and fun VN, this one does a good job of capturing the emotional state of its characters. Daisuke is very open and expressive about how he feels, particularly in the canon route, which is unfailingly presented as a good thing for him and those around him. Yes. More of this. Bf goals. Cute af.
I also liked how Minami, while clearly a guy's horny fantasy, isn't presented as the perfect domme. She's impulsive, makes mistakes, and isn't completely sure of herself at all times, while taking clear and decisive action to carry the plot forward on her broad shoulders, which is literally all it takes to push a character from 'waifu meat puppet' (extremely common on here) to something approaching a person. Is she very idealized? Yes. Could she do with a smidge more depth? Sure. Do I wish I could play from her perspective? Absolutely. But what's here is quite good for the standards of this site.
Play isn't always openly consensual, but I feel like it is where it matters, and the times where lines get blurred are framed as Minami not being sure of what she wants, and her repressed domme desires getting the better of her, which is... honestly quite relatable.
The art is fine. It's not incredible, but it works for what it's going for. The choice of scenes feel quite fresh for MF stories, and work well with the gym theme. I admit, I had to play this without the sound, so cannot comment on the music or VAing. I can't imagine it was awful, given the other production values.
If I had one complaint, it would be the awkward animations that interrupt the flow of text on my potato PC. Honestly, if they'd mattered more to the timing of a scene like they did for the barbell sex scene, I might've cared for them, but the animations actively detracted from most of the scenes for me.
