Description

While returning home from his first day of high school, our Protagonist encounters a strange woman who encourages him to make a wish at the shrine. Although skeptical, he unwittingly summons Erilynn, a beautiful yet bold princess from another world. With no idea how she came here or how to send her back, the two must put aside their differences and work together to unravel the mystery.

Now, high school isn't the only thing on our protagonist's mind. He must keep Erilynn's identity a secret while searching for the elusive and mystifying old woman who started it all.

<report>This is a typical PixelFade release, meaning it has:
- Good voice acting
- Well written dialogue, with campy pop-culture refferences and puns
- Decent art, well drawn CG's, but very little variety in both CG's and art in general.

If I were to compare it with the other PixelFade releases, it'd easily be my least favourite, because it has easily the most bland high-school setting in the universe. It's a reverse isekai, and you never see the actual other world, so you just interact with a denizen of it who has all her powers stripped. So it's just, a high school setting with no flavour at all basically.

On top of that it has the typical PixelFade issue of ending before any real plot can take place, leaving very little impact because it never graduates from light-hearted slice-of-life.

I tried to fall in love with this game, and I succeeded, but over time I got really bored and I couldn't finish the game.

1) Humor is still good. It became much weaker than ace academy, but ace academy was at the highest level in this component, so even more bad humor compared to the first game is still classified by me as good.

1) The characters have become much worse. Despite the almost identical characters, Mina is much worse than Niki, Show 2 is much worse than Show 1(they even have the same faces... Read more ยป
