What players say
There's a lot of good in this game. The characters are selfish and messy, but feel very human for it, which made them endearing and fun to watch (though they may not be for everyone). The writing is mostly pretty tight and, at a roughly 10-12 hour playtime, tells the story it wants without feeling like it drags. Many otome games tend to be in the 30-40 hour range, which I don't normally mind per say, but it was a...
If it weren't for Yamato, I wouldn't play this game at all. He's the only one who treats the main character like a human being. The others are just jerks and think sexual harassment is a joke. There's no depth or purpose behind it either... it's just presented in a stupid, empty way. I don't know if should I recommend this game or not but just for Yamato's sake I'm going to. Art style is also good
Game good can date a bunch of dumbasses which instantly makes it 10/10.(As of writing this I haven't beaten the game yet, I will update it if I remember to.)
