Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 24 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Step into a world of romance and flowers in this refreshingly mature otome that charts the lives of four couples, centered around a local flower shop.
‘Him, the Smile & bloom’ is a unique exploration of the flourishing relationship between two adults and the highs and lows of their budding romance in a modern world.
From the initial spark of attraction to the struggles of maintaining a relationship and navigating life’s choppy waters - Him, the Smile & bloom, deftly weaves heart-warming - and heart-breaking - narrative threads for a genuinely distinct and memorable otome experience!


Him, the Smile & bloom charts four whirlwind romances - from the tender love of youth, to thorny, tumultuous and steamy. There are four distinct love matches to explore.

Rather than one protagonist with a selection of love interests, Him, the Smile & bloom instead focuses on the relationship between four couples and love interests - Wataru, Ginnosuke, Hokuto, and Tenya.

Each couple has three endings to explore. However! Rather than traditional ‘good’ or ‘bad’ endings, each of the couple’s potential futures are poignant and offer something worthwhile to enjoy, regardless of the romantic (or not!) outcome.
By focusing on the growing relationship between four couples. Him, the Smile & bloom brings a unique maturity to the exploration of love and the lives of these couples.

Wonderful character artwork and vibrant and detailed game world, combined with expressive voice work to really enhance the tenderness and emotion of each story. The Western release also includes an updated and re-edited story script!

Completing the ‘Glow’ or ‘best’ ending to each couples’ story unlocks additional side stories to enjoy - bringing further life to these unforgettable characters.

I love Kozue! She is the real MVP in this game ( ദ്ദി ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ ) I recommend this game if you want to read some light-hearted and slice of life romance stories. No, don't expect some heavy angsty drama or any heavy subjects. If you like Starry Sky series (another otome games by Honeybee), you will definitely like this game! Because the romance and the drama is very similar, it's very light to the point some of you guys may feel bored instead. I'd say the story feels like something that came from a romance teen novel (with sub plot smut). Some may feel it's so cliche or cringy, some may feel it's cute and wholesome. For english translation, it's already considered good with only few minor typos. Oh right, lastly, this is not a CYOA game, so don't expect lots of choices.
Became in love with this game... light and easy to read story, characters are so fun, and it's more unique to have different MCs for all boys... wish to have Rei and Kozue couple story because they are just best in there <3

好玩太帅了
Jugué como primera ruta la de Hokuto, la protagonista es insoportable, todo el rato se queja de que el weon no le reciprocó la confesión, bueno, al final ****SPOILERS**** se quedan juntos. Al menos la ruta de este personaje fue bastante predecible, y encontré un poco cringe que un señor de 28 años siga viviendo con sus papás, y que tenga relaciones con su novia en la casa de ellos. Además con 28 años, ya debieras poder entender si te gusta o no tu amiga de la infancia.
cute
ohhhhhhh mein gott absolute cinema. ginchan i wont you
Muy bonito, las rutas son algo cortas, pero los CGs son hermosos. Tiene un par detalles con la traducción de algunos diálogos, pero nada que influya mucho en la historia en general. Totalmente recomendado!
100% recommend this if you're lookiing for light refreshment in otome game! I really love this game and since it have light story, it can be relate to us especially if you're in your 20ish age (cried in between the story because it relate a lot in my life lol) There's some MC that really same with me in character term and I love how their ML convey their love not in rush, especially with Tenya & Wataru ah I really love them And how they connect the story with flower, it makes the story more different with the others otome. The VA also really done an amazing job imo >< Oh oh also I can say the universe in this game also great too since we have different MC but we can see them in the other perspective MC so it doesn't look like we're doing harem
It's a short novel, but I enjoyed reading it a lot! I completed every route (good end only) + all specials (including Halloween DLC). Each route overall is about 5+ hours-ish, and each special is 20 minutes long (including the DLC). I was reading this during breaks from heavier, more angst filled titles, and it was refreshing to read stories where everyone is happy and doing well :D "Slice of life" and "fluff" would be best descriptors of this novel.
This is a good investment of time in the sense that it's given me a lot of comfort and a lot of strength throughout my day. When it says it's a mature otome game, I don't think it's lying, although sometimes I do wonder on how mature it really is. But even despite that matter, I can understand why it is marketed as such and if you enjoy slice of life with no real "drama" (for the most part, really) and adult relationships - this game will be a hit. In a sense I think it's just really cute and I'll definitely revisit it later, for whenever I want to seek out comfort again!
