Him, the Smile ＆ bloom

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.

最近最满意的乙游！画风实在是太美了阿。。好香

It is such a fresh concept to me to have 4 couples instead of 1 heroine and few love cholce characters. I know we also have the other Otome VN with this concept which is Norn9. but I don't have switch so I never play it. As a shoujo fans myself, this is basically like reading shoujo manga and have my own OTP with respective love trope. Im having blast times actually shipping all the couples haha. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the stories. It is that typical romance trope, but I really like how certain things are relatable especially to adults like me (working life, adulting, commitment & priorities etc you name it). I also like how all the love stories occur within the same timeline. I also like they have the flower book we can look into later. I learnt a lot about flowers and the meaning of it. It is such a nice touch in the game. Can I also say the art is so freaking gorgeous?! So pretty! I keep admiring it. Sasuga Yuuya-sensei. Definitely going to look into their arts more after this. Lastly, I genuinely surprised how well the bad endings been written. So far, all the bad ending takes a realistic turn, especially in the adulthood life. (Tenya especially tugged me cuz how common it is to happen). All in all, it is very trope-like but it works! I love it!

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

Very nice stories!

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!

The soft visuals and quiet atmosphere pulled me in right away. Love this game so much <3.

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!

I thoroughly enjoyed the game. The characters are all ones I root for through the entire thing. Wataru's route is done in a way I don't care much for, but that's about my only complaint. The guys are sweet, the girls are relatable, subtitles for the English version needs some revision, and the storylines are really good. The other three routes hold a certain charm and have a mature romantic feel, but Tenya is best boy and my favorite route by far. None of the others measure up to those standards.
