About

After his mother gets into an accident, Tanimura Mitsuki has to put his life and education on hold. He lives with his parents in the sleepy countryside for five years, helping them run their humble family business — while the rest of his friends leave home, and leave him behind.
When Mitsuki finally leaves the nest, he’s twenty-three years old, and woefully behind with his studies. If he wants to get accepted into university, he’ll need to re-learn everything he was taught during high school, and then some.
Mitsuki moves to Tokyo to attend a rigorous cram school, with the hopes of passing his university entrance exams next spring. He soon finds, however, that his other classmates treat him like a social outcast, being the oldest at his school by far. It proves impossible to make friends, and Mitsuki consigns himself to an isolated, lonely existence...
That is, until he meets the single mother, Himuro Kyouko, who just-so-happens to live in the same apartment complex as him.
Mitsuki offers to help Kyouko babysit her daughter, Tama. Kyouko, in turn, helps Mitsuki study for his upcoming exams. Over the course of a year, the two bond — first, as friends, and then as something more

Great game and a wholesome story this deserves a good rating and more recognition the male character is a bit shallow in writing in my opinion but this was a good cast and the ending felt fufilling but a sequal would not be unwelcomed by me.
Quick and straight forward. No choices just a story of love between 2 adults, and the mother's daughter.
this game is so cute. It's such a fun little game I would highly recommend to someone who wants some fluffy slice of life with serious heart
Cute and basically wholesome. If you want a light read with likeable, convincing characters, definitely check it out.
The Language of Love is truly the best BxG visual novel I have read to date. In fact, this is the third time I read it - [YES, it's THAT good] - and I was genuinely surprised I had not written a review... It is a beautifully written story by ebi-hime about a 23 year old country lad (protagonist) coming to Tokyo seeking to earn qualifications to enter university. Here, he meets a beautiful young single mum Kyouko and her cute 6 year old daughter, Tama. The story line is developed extremely well, including cameo appearances of Tama's schoolmates, Keiichi and Miho. The artwork is gorgeous, even with a few DLC CG images, and the music as well one could say is perfectly suited for the theme - how true love can and will blossom! In summary, The Language of Love is, for me, and absolute classic, 10/10 visual novel. Thank you ebi-hime!
This was a pretty good read! While not my favorite I still had a fun time reading this one
It was good, I enjoyed my time with it. There were some parts where I didn't mesh 100% with the story. I am chalking it up to my own personal preference on what I think someone would do/say. But I'm not an author and I'm not going to be overly negative because it's not the way I would write (if I did). It's nice to see a story that's not two perfect pure teenagers falling in love for the first time and etc etc.
Wholesome story with a positive tone. Intro scene has a bit of spoilers but otherwise the art was nice and it's an interesting story.
i never play games like this but i loved it and it made me happy 10/10
The Language of Love - это трогательная история о встрече двух одиноких сердец. Молодой Мицуки, потерявший смысл жизни, и молодая мать-одиночка, живущая по соседству - казалось бы, что может связать этих людей? Но именно в их встрече кроется магия настоящей любви, способной изменить судьбы. Игра поражает своей искренностью и глубиной эмоций. Разработчики мастерски передают атмосферу повседневной жизни, а персонажи настолько реалистичны, что начинаешь переживать за них как за настоящих друзей. Прекрасная визуальная составляющая и душевная музыка создают идеальную атмосферу для этой истории о любви, надежде и поиске своего места в жизни. Обязательно к прохождению всем, кто ценит искренние истории и красивые романтические сюжеты!
