This game is quite interesting, as it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a typical real Japanese visual novel. Colorful and cute characters who have their own lives and issues that collide with the main characters for a funny, cute, heartwarming slice-of-life drama. Character designs and H-scenes are pretty vanilla, but good enough.
Issue is, Japanese VNs often tend to split themselves in to routes for individual characters, and for good reason. If you mix-and-match all of the character's routes in one, it turns in to a very long and unfocused plotline, which unfortunately, is the case here. The story might jump off a character who you were interested in, to a character you weren't, which may diminish your interest in playing, especially since the game really likes to focus on some characters far more than others (sorry to say, Kanehana took far too much screen time for someone I was not even remotely interested in). I was the most interested in Akemi, who, despite being the second girl shown, didn't have much to her story until the second part, hours in to the game. If you aren't invested in every single character it gets hard to continue playing through without ctrl skipping, which is a shame. There's also a ton of wrinkly old people that always killed any boner I had while playing. Terrible for a fap.
Still, bonus points for being a game that made me feel nostalgia for 2000s era Japanese visual novels. Haven't seen to many like this on F95. 4/5 might seem a little disappointing of a rating, but it's pretty high if you consider that I think it utterly fails as a porn game and it's only being held up by it's main plot and half of characters.
