About
■Story
Sappy romantic Oojima Yuuki and notorious chocolate-hater Sumiyoshi Chisato are longtime friends who both attend Takafuji Academy, a massive mega-school with over 5,000 students.
The two are part of the Culinary Research Club—which sounds cool on paper, but in actuality, is just an excuse to sit around and eat junk food with their friends.
As the Student Council presidential election approaches, however, the CRC is targeted for termination by a prominent candidate named Shinonome Satsuki.
Their only option: Join the election and keep her from winning at any cost!

[olist] [*] 这游戏人设怪的离谱,全游戏就没几个正常人,很难想象一个校园恋爱题材的游戏有这么多怪人,男主逆天,对手逆天,社团内一个[spoiler] 搞代餐 [/spoiler],两只猴子,一个男同,还有个谜语人 [*] 还有剧情也很逆天,共通线还好[strike]并非还好,埋了一堆雷[/strike] 本来共通线为了表现学生自治这个设定就整了一群烂活,把学生会的权力整的像总统,结果个人线后的选举又像过家家一样,男女主之间的冲突也很幼稚,游戏名里的恋爱与选举在游戏内根本没有处理好,某些线选举甚至直接跳过了,太让人失望 [/olist]
[b]VERDICT : Koichoco is still a [i]gem[/i] despite its 16-year-old age. It truly is.[/b] Let me starts with [ the DRAG ] : Let’s say [i]over-possessive female character[/i] and [i]super dense male character[/i] and some jokes have lost their charm in this day and age. This matter really impacted my experience to some extent. But well in spite of what I say, I am fully aware that I read Koichoco in the year 2026 while the game has been created since 2010 so we should be fair when judging the script written in another era. If this matter annoys you, then it does. Suck it or you wouldn’t have a chance to experience the wonderful side of the game. Now [ the WONDERFUL ] : + First thing first, the artwork! [i]The stunningly gorgeous artwork[/i] from Sprite always hit me in awe, just like AOKANA. + The game starts off with a vibe of rom-com story then switches to full drama when reaching each of the character routes. Koichoco’s story and drama are very solid, and it might be heavier than what you expected. The [i]politics[/i] part feels so real for me especially if I see it not as a school politics but a miniature of national politics. + The way ALL of the main heroines (the over-possessive one mentioned above included) portray their own character is exceptional! I could say they do their roles [i]on the level of perfection.[/i] There is always a meaning behind every characters’ action and dialogue. Getting bored of boring characters? Play Koichoco and problem solved. Lastly, another thing I love about Koichoco is that it utilized a concept that “information from one route explains another” which is a unique experience for a visual novel. This isn’t really important but I always prefer vn with this one trait while a lot of vn nowadays stop caring to do this. My feelings tell me [i]the good immensely outweighs the bad.[/i] So, if you are into a solid school life drama story with some element of politics, Koichoco is definitely worth trying.
喜欢幼驯染的有福了,除了那个比参选学生会长搞得跟总统大选一样臭之外,跟千里的互动还是很有意思的。 如果你喜欢幼驯染那这个游戏值得一玩,比很多白开水路人幼驯染塑造的好。
未散是保安部的s特間諜,這保安部這麼nb? 美冬線還行
顶级,很有氛围和沉浸感。说实话,去吃汉堡之后,我不知道青海衣更怎么输啊?这不选她?我看到她的先之后我连青梅竹马的线我都过不安稳。靠,怎么不能一键全选了
不赖
雪碧社的女主多是命苦人啊
史味巧克力 只推了千里和衣更线,恋爱的部分挺甜的,选举的部分太史了 很难想象能做出苍彼的也能做出这种程度的游戏 如果是现在的我遇到没玩过这个游戏的我肯定不会推荐这部
7.5/10
就走了千里线,体验一般般吧,我不喜欢看青梅输(😭),感觉各种意义上都很有槽点,学生会长的权利很大还有他们的权利斗争还有最后放过坏人说让她活着才是对她的惩罚什么的,不过无所谓了毕竟旮旯嘛
