Description

Spring is the flowering season, the season of the cherry blossoms. It is the time for first meetings and partings, when the buds start sprouting.

Yuuma is a second-year student at Mihaya Academy who listens to love problems from girls at the school and gives them thoughtful advice. This has made him quite popular and loved, resulting in a 21,000 yen (taxes included) ‘love bounty’ placed on him. The girls came to him with problems ranging from jealousy to infidelity. Having heard about so many troubles related to love, Yuuma lost any desire he had for it.

One day, a mysterious girl appeared before him. She had never been in love, but she believed that it was a wonderful thing. She asked him if he would like to be in love, and that as a love fairy, she will help his love come true.

A girl who cannot fall in love. A boy who has no interest in love. If they end up falling in love with each other, how will the world change?

[From Hau~ Omochikaeri!]

<report>I don't usually write reviews for VNs but with this one I HAD to.
Starting off with a disclaimer, I've only played one route; Konami's, and tbh that's the only one I'm gonna bother with personally so don't take this review seriously.
I have to say don't judge a book by its cover. At first glance I thought this was just going to be a typical moe romcom VN and the tags B/R Romance and Full Blood Sister were my only motivation. But boy I was wrong (with one route mind you).
What I found was incest being taken seriously and isn't just your run of the mill "hehe forbidden relationship" type of story. I haven't seen this since Yosuga no Sora so I was really blown away out of my expectations and is now alongside YnS one of my all time favorite VNs (yes and that's ONLY due to a single route)

<report>This could have been a 9 or even 10 score just for the excellent incest route if it weren't dragged down by 2 other routes. Konami's got arguably the best blood-related incest story out there, they actually took it seriously and also only one ive seen where the sibling didn't already love the MC before the story starts. Ann's pretty good, probably most interesting heroine of the bunch and has good balance on comedy and drama. Yuuri's also pretty good but could be cut in length and put the risk you might get more interested in another girl. Mio's decent though a bit disappointing in not much surprise twists like the others and last minute conflict felt forced. Tina's sounds good on paper until you realize MC acts OOC for the romance to work, and last minute drama was dumb and didn't matter.

<report>Well, i'm not a sommelier so it's not hard to make me enjoy a Novel. With that said, SakuSaku really doesn't have anything that makes it different from the others. I just finished the Yuri's route so i still plan to play the rest, but despite loving Yuri as a character i must say that there's NOTHING in the plot ( at least on this specific route ), rather, it have some plot holes imo ( which i wont mention to dont spoil any possible future reader ). You might ask why i'm giving an 8 ( which is a quite high note ), well... I'm not a sommelier

<report>Here the routes from worst to best; Be careful, just because it's in 5th place doesn't mean it's not bad, it's just a bit cliché:

5) Yuri: Just someone normal with a touch of romance

4) Mio: Simply a happy ending

3) Konami: The fiction begins to mix with the main plot

2) Ann(Jinpou): This route is more complete because it makes you understand many things that you overlooked if you are not very observant.

1) Tina: Almost at the end you're going to cry out of sadness and 7 minutes later you're going to continue crying but out of happiness hahaha :'v


I must say that there are dialogues that are a little cliché but it is still a good novel, especially that it mixes magic with romantic comedy and fiction.

Psdt: It really lasts 50 hours

<report>In an overall review, the VN is Ok, I didn't expect too much and actually, I didn't get surprised in the end as well, there are 4 routes that u can do with a few boring choices(+1 extra route you select in the main menu), there's no easter egg, so do not expect something special when u finish it like an epilogue or extra scenes, nop, not at all, what u see is what you receive, the routes plot isn't put in an organic way, it's just suddenly placed in the story for whatever reason, everything is supposedly perfect and out of blue isn't fine anymore, it's so misplaced that I feel kinda irritated but that is just my option based on what I read and how I like it, as u can see I gave it a 7, I don't think that is bad is just some misplaced things that kills the VN.

<report>The art seemed a bit off-putting at first, but I grew to like its charm a lot. Yuma is a pretty alright protagonist, and his backstory is surprisingly interesting. Unfortunately he suffers from "Dense Romance MC" disease and is a total dumbass up until the end of the common route. I enjoyed the ending to Ann's route, although I personally couldn't imagine proposing to someone after only a month of dating while in my 2nd year of high school, but what do I know. Downloading the 18+ patch adds a concerning amount of comedic effect to the story as well.

Overall, worth getting while on sale.

<report>Man, what a hidden gem this one was!
I went into it not expecting too much, but had a great time!

The routes do vary in quality somewhat, as far as I am concerned. I actually ended up dropped one of the five shortly after starting it. (Mio)
But especially Konamis and Yuris route were so exceptionally good, that I could forgive it, even if all the others sucked, which they don't.
I thought Ann and Tina's route were upper average.
I wish the common route had been a little longer (~6 hours), but then again I always do.

Overall: Absolutely loved it and will definitely re-read some routes again in a few months.

<report>giving this a 7 is generous because I should be giving this a 5 if anything. the only reason I'm still giving this a 7 is simply because of Konomi. Konomi's route is incest route. so for incest fans out there you'll gonna love this. and if you're not, well all I'm gonna say is the VA did a really good job of voicing Konomi when she's being thirsty to the MC. it's pretty intense. she's the only saving grace of this otherwise bad VN.

<report>Stalled cause I can’t stand the plot anymore lol. It’s average (or bad if I’m honest). Only played Mio and Yuri routes as they are two of my favorite characters but while Mio route is still fine cause I love Miko and Childhood friend character, Yuri route is such a mess… Very poor plot and annoys me a little bit while reading.
I guess the reason that it sold well that year was mainly due to Izumi Tsubasu as artist: Palette got saved by her.
Even though I got a little bit spoiled and know things could be better in the rest three routes I decided to stall. Will give it 7.3 mainly due to artwork and my bias love for Palette.
