Description

Kagami Makoto is in his 3rd year of college when he inherits the estate of his late grandfather and starts planning out what he's going to do with his newfound home. However, his plans are foiled when his childhood friend Iyo, who turns out to be a zashiki-warashi, introduces herself, looking exactly the same as he remembers her from over a decade ago. Then, a woman named Kikyou, who claims to be a demon, also appears before him. After that, it isn't long before a pretty detective at the police department comes knocking on his door, imploring him to take up his family's duty of helping wandering spirits pass on to the afterlife and assist the police with any and all supernatural crimes reported in town. But when a case that's bigger than any of them ever imagined comes his way, will he be able to handle it? With the power of clairvoyance, an ability passed down through his family that allows him to see spirits, maybe he and his demon familiars can pull through, and he can be a proper successor to his family's legacy.

<report>Beautiful. This is my first time crying over a VN. It doesn't fail in getting you emotionally attached to the characters. There are some inconsistencies and plot holes that I have noticed but it does try to answer those over the course of the playthrough. Unfortunately, I still have some questions. I also found Yumi and Iyo's route quite weak in its conclusion. Overall, it's a pretty great VN. Art was done by Sumeragi Kohaku so you know it's another quality artist. The OST was decent. I would go out as far as saying it's a must-read VN. I really liked and enjoyed reading it. I highly recommend it. Sasuga, Silky's Plus.

<report>A unique story with great CGs, an immersive plot, good twists, and great romance and H-scenes. Only bad part is the different routes with them all being weirdly different and weirdly the same at the same time. Uncensored, so a big plus, but some of the scenes look really weird and sometimes the MC has more width than length (he's got a chode sometimes lol.)

<report>One of the few VNs where I can say I have nothing bad to say at all. So why isn't it a 10/10 for me? Mostly cause the use of things the MC knows but the player doesn't, which isn't negative and it's actually used well. And I'd say it would be 10/10 if you'd be able to actually figure it out on your first playthrough, but most likely you won't.

It's funny, it's lovely and it's heartbreaking. I recommend this without reservations.

<report>The Characters, music, overall plot/mysery, and rather dull adult romance are all serviceable. The main character barely has any personality or presence and 60% of all scenes consist of 5+ characters hanging around the same house and just talking around. I also personally found some of the characters slightly obnoxious. However, I found the humor in this game to be spot-on at some points and the art combined with the H-scenes had some great moments.

A pretty decent game carried by his humor, art, and H-scenes. This is a pretty good choice if you want to experience a light story about a guy who lives with (literal) semen demons.

<report>This is actually first time in my life I'm actually enjoying reading visual novel. Even tho the mystery its kinda easy to figure out, but the vibe, the music, the characters and especially the story so much fun to follow.

<report>Nanairo Reincarnation is a weird mix of comedy, porn and misery. It's both a nukige and a nakige at the same time.

If you're looking for a serious story, there's way, way too much porn with every single character in the cast wanting to have sex with the faceless protagonist. The porn starts 30 minutes in and there's a long sex scene roughly every hour. It often comes with little build up and no emotional connection, the protagonist just has sex with his harem because that's what his role is. At the same time, if you're looking for a happy go lucky harem porn game, the final act of the story suddenly does a 180 and drops a lot of very dark stuff on you (on the level of Kara no Shoujo, no...

<report>tl;dr: A pretty short VN with a solid set of characters with great character interactions, though not as strong in terms of the romances that lead to most of the endings.

Nanairo Reincarnation is a VN that's a bit strange in how it ultimately seems to have one core route. It's certainly not uncommon for there to be a route that's generally regarded as the main route due to it feeling like it had the most effort put into it or it tying most closely to the overarching narrative. However, this VN takes those aspects to a bit of an extreme in that all the routes are ultimately centered around the main heroine Kotori as she's the one closest to the overarching narrative, and each of the other...

<report>Nanairo Reincarnation is a good game that suffers a bit from lack of focus. It wants to be a murder mystery, a romance and a slice-of-life at the same time, but fails to fully  commit to any of them, despite providing excellent scenes in all three genres; as a result, the end will leave you wanting more, but not in a good way. You'll most likely enjoy what you read, but one can't shake off the feeling that the game feels like a prologue to larger work.

In fact, that feeling is one of its greatest problems. The game gives you a decent amount of worldbuilding, an interesting cast and promises of a larger story featuring them,  but in the end, all of this is just an excuse to tell the tale... Read more »

<report>Nanairo Reincarnation is a visual novel about a ghost detective working to send lingering souls to the afterlife. To do so he must fulfill their wishes or otherwise make them accept their reality and help them move on. It's a story that's part mystery, part romance, part drama.

It has lots of strong points. The character art is mind-blowingly good, the BGs are great, the music is great. The story is solid also, with snappy pacing, a logical protagonist, and likable characters. It's really good.

... Except when it's not. This is one of those games where the adult content is baked into the story and made somewhat necessary, yet still completely destroys the pacing and ends up being more of... Read more »

<report>Another case of "I'm not really into that trope but ended up liking it" story for me. This time it's harem.

First of all, I'd like to say, what a fucking ride this is. I enjoyed every minute reading it. It's a medium length VN but packed story telling (just as I like it). Every aspects of the game was excellent. Every plot and twits executed brilliantly. Every route is interesting and has its own merit.

Sure there are a few nitpicks, but not enough to tarnish the overall quality of the game. But there's a few worth mentioning. The game have a little harem theme but it is executed well, that even I (a person who's didn't prefer it) can get with it. Maybe because the MC is a pretty matured... Read more »

<report>I wanted to cry from my penis but instead I cried from my eyes

The game itself is amazing, bgm, art style, plot, and almost everything is amazing.

But one of the letdown of this game is that, there is no "individual" route story, what I mean is like when you enter a route, the story should be different from the common route or from other routes but no. This game instead of having a different story when entering a route, it only changed the text line from the heroine/route you're in. For those who wants to play this game,, I highly recommend you to play Kotori's route first, because she's pretty much the main story of this game, why?

Because the rest is just (for me at least) a side route... Read more »

<report>I went into Nanairo Reincarnation with pretty high expectations. Before even reading the synopsis, my interest had already been piqued by the gorgeous art and unique aesthetic. The more experienced eye might not think that this game stands out in that area, but to me it did.

I was having a blast in my first hour of reading. The general "vibe" of the game was everything I expected, the story was intriguing with a subtle air of mysticism, and I was ready to give the game a very high score. But as always, I continued to play before forming a final opinion. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in many ways.

Writing and Characters:

Nanairo Reincarnation is a very good story if you're looking for... Read more »

<report>I got into this game without checking spoilers tags and reviews, which is not usual for me. I was simply ingtrigued by the description of the game itself. I didn't expect it to be a nakige despite the name itself being a dead giveaway. I do play nakiges but usually I brace myself emotionally before getting into them. That said if I were to compare the emotional impact of a heavy weight nakige likes Kana Imouto this would be something of a medium weight nakige.

Also a fair warning to the faint hearted. There is a disturbing scene near the end of the game. I wish they would have a guro filter option since it is only one scene and is not a main feature of the game.

The ero scenes are good... Read more »
