ReviewBefore saying my own impression I will summarize the overall story for everyone first. The plot and character description are all written by me so I will leave them here too along with the detailed spoiler for anyone doesn't fully get the story. I recommend to read the story first before checking the spoiler so you can enjoy it to the fullest.

Summary:

Shiki Yuuto is normal student living with his imouto-like maid Toune in a big Europe residence built by his ancestors from long time ago. However, he hides a big secret from everyone. He is actually descendant of branch family from a lineage of high class wizards which moved to Japan hundred years ago. Despite being a shabby wizard, he used to help people with magic while chasing the "Bad Wizard" as duty given to head of clan, but now he is just lazy around and doesn't care much about magic anymore.

One day, while he is cleaning the old church behind his house, a mystery blonde wizard suddenly crashes into the church and is helped by his classmate Setsuna who "happens to be there by chance". The wizard introduces herself as Riz Mathers and claims to be his relative from the head family in Britain who comes to be his master. This fateful encounter between the three of them will unfold a bitter sweet story about their youth.

Characters:

- Yuuto

Born as descendant of branch family from a wizard lineage and was taught about magic from young age. Even though he is very weak wizard, his parents pressed the role of head of clan to him after he is grown up and worked away from home for a long time. Now he is living with his imouto-like maid in a big residence while going to school. In the past, as duty, while hiding about magic from people he has always been moving around to chase the "Bad Wizard" and find people who are cursed by it to help them with magic. However, due to some "reason" he lost his motivation and lives a normal life now.

Actually, he used to be a very talented wizard who could even give top class wizard like Riz a run for her money. He lost most of his magic along with that memory from saving Toune from death in childhood.

Even though he has been chasing "The Bad Wizard" all the times in the past, he never believes in its existence and thinks of it as an urban legend created by people to have something to blame for when bad things happen.

After the event with Setsuna one year ago, he thought that he had failed to save her and refused to use magic for anything important since then. However, he still uses it sometimes to harass his childhood friend Hio.


- Riz

Long distance relative of Yuuto from head family in Britain. Completely opposite of Yuuto the third-rate wizard, she is extremely talented and skilled wizard with high pride. Despite being completely perfect when it comes to magic, she lacks of common sense about the world around her and uses misleading words a lot which is always the main source of trouble for Yuuto. Even though Yuuto warned her a lot about taking care not to reveal magic to people, she still uses it unconsciously from time to time. She comes to Japan to be Yuuto's master.

The reason for her to use magic a lot is to release magical power regularly or her body can't stand it. In her childhood, the problem was too extreme to the point of her parents had to lock her down in basement underneath the mansion to prevent her from abusing her magic and causing troubles.

Being exceptionally talented, she passed all the wizard exams and all that left for her is becoming full pledged wizard by clearing either trial: Making someone happy or raising disciple as master. At first, she chose the first one and had been using her self-made small version avatar of her to travel around the world until she came to Japan one year ago. At this time, she met Yuuto and Setsuna. She tried to help them with their problem but failed in the end which changed her goal to become Yuuto's master. After one year, she voluntarily comes to meet Yuuto again but by her real self this time.

Due to her past of being locked down, she doesn't know much about the world and always feels anxious about her magic. She falls in love with Yuuto because she admires him for being able to make people happy without using magic unlike her who can only rely on magic all the times.

The chance happens when message from her mother in Britain comes to Yuuto and teaches him how to seal her magic by kiss. After sealing her magic, new trouble arises as she can't hold up the power inside her body which makes her become strange. More message coming from her mother about how to temporarily unseal with kiss again. That's how they keep exchanging kisses from daily until both of them realize their feeling for each other.

Later, after knowing about her past, Yuuto is lost in thought which almost leads him to car accident. By helping Yuuto with series of flashy magic moves, she reveals herself to public and becomes hot topic everywhere. All her friends are scared of her included Yuuto since he thought she killed the driver for a moment. Being shocked by that makes her unable to use magic to modify everyone's memory. In hopeless situation, "The Bad Wizard" appears and offers help to erase everything happened in exchange for her own existence and happy memory with everyone.

She is transformed into her small version and everyone forgets about her but somehow only Yuuto remembers. For a short time, according to Yuuto and Setsuna's wish, her form changes back and forth between original form and small form along with the lost memory of both herself and everyone. After realizing she wishes to erase herself since she is afraid of people looking at her like monster but still wants only her beloved person to remember her, Yuuto stands between two ultimate decisions in which either letting her stay here with him as small Riz with all of her memory are gone forever or letting her go home and get locked down again because she violated the rule and revealed magic. Either way he has to part away with her.

In the end, Yuuto makes resolution to leave behind everything and move to Britain with her so he can be with her forever. He also tells her that she is full pledged wizard now since she already made him happy so she doesn't have to worry anymore. The two of them leave together without notice then come back again later to reunion with everyone after all the fusses calm down. Yuuto after lot of training now becomes her partner as wizard.


- Hio

Yuuto's childhood friend and younger one of two daughters of Sakuranomiya inn which is considered the most popular place in town. Since Yuuto's family used to do same business as hers, she has always seen Yuuto's family as rival until now. She secretly has feeling for Yuuto and always practices her favorite wrestling moves on him whenever he sexual harasses her. Because of her too much serious attitude about working, she is extremely shy toward customers at her inn which makes her fail a lot. She is very kind and overprotective toward Toune like Yuuto.

After becoming couple with Yuuto, she gets better at treating customers when Yuuto is around and Yuuto himself decides to focus more on the inn work to support her. However, her sister is worried about her since she wants Hio to enjoy her youth more and find other things she wants to do. The truth is her sister wants Hio to stay away from inn work because she knows the inn won't stay long at this rate. Hio's sister decides to fire her and Yuuto with the excuse that they are not good enough. This torments Hio very much because she loves inn work from the bottom of her heart. More over, Hio has always been admiring her sister from young age and lacking confidence in herself so being denied by her sister shocks her to the core.

"The Bad Wizard" appears when she is feeling down, reveals the truth and makes a deal with her. If she breaks up with Yuuto, with the pain and sadness as power, it can make her wish comes true which is saving the inn from breaking down. She accepts and breaks up with Yuuto without telling him the truth. However, with Riz's help, Yuuto exposes "The Bad Wizard" and tries to get Hio back. He tells Hio that if "The Bad Wizard" can realize her wish by using her misery as driving force, he can make her wish come true by using her happiness as source of power. In the end, they come back together and Hio also resolves her conflict with her sister. She becomes more confident and continues the inn work with Yuuto while aiming for the landlady position with her sister as rival.


- Toune

Since her ancestors have been serving Yuuto's family for a long time by tradition, she has always been with Yuuto since childhood. She always wears maid uniform at home and is very devoted to taking care of Yuuto to the point of never allowing him to work. She also loves to tease him and sees him as real brother rather than her master. She loves idol and suddenly tries to become one right after entering same high school as Yuuto. She says it's for attracting attention to restart the inn business using their residence which their family used to run before it closed down due to Yuuto's parents' sloppy management. She is perfect maid and idol except for her singing is catastrophe.

Even though she is very healthy now, she used to be very weak and sickly in the past. Yuuto always took care of her at that time but she still couldn't win against the cruel fate. Falling into despair before the death of his beloved sister, the kid Yuuto miraculously gave her most of his magical power which became her source of life force and brought her back to life. After that, Yuuto lost all of his memory of that time along with what would make him top class wizard in the future.

Recovered from sickness, she decided to repay Yuuto for what he has done for her until now and started to learn about housework. When she becomes idol, she asks Yuuto to be her manager and the two work hard everyday. Later she reveals that becoming idol to reopen the inn is just excuse for her to stay with him forever.

After they get together, both of them enjoy their love life along with the idol work until she suddenly loses conscious and her heart stops beating which shocks Yuuto to the utmost. Somehow Riz successfully uses magic to save her but they can't find out why. The doctor says it's from overworking so Yuuto bans her from working but still worries about her condition.

Then "The Bad Wizard" appears in the church to remind Yuuto about the past and explains to him that since they are physically connected to each other now, the magic he gave her in the past are starting to return to him. This means as long as they stay together, she is fated to meet her death again. Toune is at the church "by chance" at that time too so she also knows about the truth. Yuuto tries to explain everything about magic but Toune says she already knew about it long time ago. She just never told Yuuto about it and even helped him to keep secret from people.

Toune says she doesn't want him to go away just to save her and seeks for help from Riz. Unfortunately, even Riz doesn't know any magic to save Toune from this situation and since what they did in the past was just pure miracle, it's impossible to have Yuuto do the same thing again without the risk of having both of them die this time. Hopelessly, Yuuto decides to prepare to go far away but "The Bad Wizard" appears before Toune and makes a deal with her. With the sadness and despair after parting away with Yuuto, it can use magic to heal her.

Toune rejects the offer and calls Yuuto to kick "The Bad Wizard" out of their house. She tells Yuuto that her lifetime wish is to be with him even if she dies and voluntarily returns all the magic to Yuuto so he can get strong enough to face "The Bad Wizard". Even with the sadness of losing Toune, Yuuto feels happiness to be with her and accepts the power. To their surprise, after sending "The Bad Wizard" away without much of a fight, Toune suddenly becomes healthy more than ever. Later, from Riz's explanation, it seems "The Bad Wizard" healed Toune using the power from their misery and since the process is not normal to begin with, it's possible to obtain extraordinary result like this. Both Yuuto and Toune can't help but wonder why "The Bad Wizard" did that but it ends with Toune saying "Maybe she is not bad guy after all...".

After that, their idol work keeps getting more and more popular and they decide to reopen the inn. Everything is going so well except for one thing. They are cursed with mystery misfortune which continues to throw petty harassment at them. Look like "The Bad Wizard" didn't help them for free but still they happily accept this as small compensation and keep moving forward together.


- Setsuna

Yuuto's classmate who always stalks him for unknown reason. Despite being a stalker, she casually approaches Yuuto or joins the conversation with everyone just to make fun of him whenever she wants to and Yuuto himself doesn't seem to mind it. She is extremely good at game and very smart that she is always top rank at school. Because she follows Yuuto all the times, Hio sees her as rival in everything.

Yuuto met her one year ago in game center while helping people from "The Bad Wizard" as duty. At this time, she had image of a stoic pretty girl only focusing on playing game and ignoring all the persistent skirt chasers around her. He saved her from them and found out she can't speak for some reason. She communicated with him by phone messages at first and and somehow revealed that she would be dying soon. Taken aback by that, Yuuto instinctively used magic to talk to her heart which surprised her and she ran away.

They met again and Yuuto explained about magic to her while wondering why he even went this far just to get close to her. She accepted the fact easily and became more energetic because it had been a long time since she could talk to someone again. She also said all of this tragedy was because of "The Bad Wizard" which surprised Yuuto because he had never met anyone with that much conviction about "The Bad Wizard" before. While still holding doubt about her situation, Yuuto felt relieved that she became happy now and decided to keep meeting her and even invited her to the old church behind his house which got her "interest".

Later, they met small Riz who came Japan for her trial. Using same magic as Yuuto, Riz got to talk to Setsuna too and the three were getting along for a while before Riz noticed something strange about Setsuna. Riz told Yuuto that she has some dangerous feeling about Setsuna because she accepted magic so easily along with the resignation atmosphere somewhere.

Yuuto became more worried about the reason why Setsuna said she would die soon and couldn't help but to look for the past events on internet. He discovered the truth about Setsuna with something strange about it.

While still hesitating, Yutoo decided to ask Setsuna and she told him about her tragic past. She used to have a happy family before her parents failed at life and their household was broken apart. In despair, her parents committed suicide with the car accident and left Setsuna behind. The shock of losing parents which made her lost the voice. However, the strange thing about that event is there were witness of Setsuna was inside that car too but Setsuna was found at home after the accident.

Setsuna then revealed that she herself had the feeling that she had been inside that car too. Knowing her parents had been trying to kill her along with them too, while grieving about how useless her voice is because she hadn't been able to speak anything despite how much she had been afraid of dying, she had prayed for her life unconsciously to the mysterious voice had talked to her at that time for which she later thought to herself had been from "The Bad Wizard". After that, she had found herself in front of her house with the lost of her voice.

This truth was too heavy for Yuuto so he told her to stop thinking about it and returned to how they were before. They went on the date and Yuuto event brought her to his school to enjoy the life which she had always yearned for. He thought everything went back to normal but that wasn't the case for Setsuna. She disappeared in middle of the date and small Riz appeared before Yuuto again to warn him one last time about Setsuna. Before leaving, Riz said to Yuuto that if he wants to protect something, he has to give up something in return.

Yuuto went to search for Setsuna until night when he came to the old church. He was shocked to see Setsuna was standing on the edge of the roof. She said she was waiting for him and decided to tell him everything. She confessed to Yuuto that she felt in love with him. However, she still couldn't forget herself for running away alone and let her parents died. She had always been wanting to die for a long time and was just waiting for a chance to do it. Now that the love for Yuuto and all the happy time they were spending together became trigger, she doesn't have any regrets.

In despair, Yuuto tried to find a way to save her from killing herself. While realizing he also had feeling for her, he decided to kill his emotion and denied her feeling. He told her that all he did for her were just because of his duty and their encounter was a mistake. Yuuto then turned his back to her and went away with determination to treat her as stranger if they ever meet again. In shock, Setsuna got her voice back while yelling Yuuto's name. Soon after that, she transferred to Yuuto's school and became his stalker since then.

Back to the present, Setsuna starts to see illusion of herself one year ago and she tells Yuuto about how she always feels relieved when looking at his back is the reason why she has been stalking him until now. Yuuto wants to help her for real this time and recalls the memory of one year ago which he sealed away. Both of them decides to face with their past again to move forward and become couple. With conviction they already got over the past, they enjoy their love life until a rain of glasses attacks them out of nowhere when small Riz suddenly pops up and saves them. Riz then reminds them about how she met them before as small Riz and used magic to erase memory about her before disappearing. "The Bad Wizard" suddenly attacked Riz last night and sealed her real body so Riz used her avatar to escape.

"The Bad Wizard" appears before them and reveals herself as Setsuna's counterpart (Black Setsuna) which was born from Setsuna. Black Setsuna also tells them "The Bad Wizard" really exist and are born from time to time because the magical power in this land transform normal persons like Setsuna into mutant wizard, then the assumption from people and misfortune like Setsuna having her own parents trying to kill her gives birth to "The Bad Wizard" inside them. However, Setsuna's case is exceptional because she has always been in heavy conflict between happiness and sadness after meeting Yuuto, her "Bad Wizard" side was separated from her as its own existence. On the other hand, Setsuna herself is wizard too and the rain of glasses earlier was her own magic which tried to realize her wish unconsciously. That means Setsuna is still stuck in the past and her death wish this time even tried to involve her beloved Yuuto in it.

Black Setsuna later comes to Yuuto's classroom to tell everyone about their story and enjoy their suffering. She then appears again and offer Setsuna a deal. She can bring Setsuna back to the past before the accident and erase all the misery of her until now. That means Setsuna will have to separate from Yuuto and there is no guarantee the accident won't happen and the two of them will meet again. Yuuto tries to stop it but Black Setsuna says that Setsuna still hides about the truth about "The Glass Dream" from him. That night, Yuuto uses magic to enter Setsuna's dream to find the truth about that. In surrounding darkness, he sees Setsuna walking on a narrow road of tons of small glass pieces which keep tearing her feet apart. Setsuna tells him she has always seen this dream in a long time even after they became couple and these glass pieces are fragments of her happiness. The more happy she becomes the more glass pieces are created and keep hurting her forever.

After waking up, the two go to the church to face "The Bad Wizard" who is also Setsuna's dark side one last time to settle everything. Setsuna realizes that she no longer can be saved from the darkness deep inside her heart and staying with Yuuto will only harm him. From the scare that she might kill both herself and Yuuto someday, Setsuna accepts the offer. Knowing that words can't reach her anymore, Yuuto says to her that he will become "The Bad Wizard" who realizes her twisted wish. Setsuna's true wish is to erase herself along with Yuuto. In order to realize that, like how her parents killed themself together, Yuuto makes resolution to destroy everything here including himself and the two Setsuna. He holds Setsuna's hand to borrow her power to make the church collapse while the three of them are still inside.

Amidst the ruins of the old church, Yuuto stands there while hugging the Black Setsuna. He made a bet because he knows since Black Setsuna is also Setsuna, she is supposed to love him too and wouldn't let him die. Black Setsuna tells him "The Bad Wizard" can only use magic from misery and the magic she uses can't bring happiness but only to run away from misery. Now that she used magic from the happiness from the time with Yuuto one year ago to save him, she lost the meaning of "The Bad Wizard" and disappears which leaves her body return to original Setsuna. On the brink of death, Setsuna also realized how important her time with Yuuto is and parted away with her past this time for real. Riz also shows up after recovering her real body and Yuuto says he never intent to kill themself or fully rely on Black Setsuna so he made that dangerous bet knowing Riz was around.

Later, Yuuto meets Setsuna again at the ruined church after she paid a visit to her parents' grave. Setsuna already got over her past completely this time and the two promise to keep moving forward from now on together.


That's all about the story so far. Now about the impression, it's from my subjective point of view so it maybe not the same for everyone. As fan of Purple Software, they impressed me once again with their quality product this time as well. I expected some heavy drama after their last titles but they really lowered the bar this time. However, the comedy element went up a lot along with good pacing to prevent me from getting bored. The atmosphere is more relaxed than previous titles which is also a plus for a change of pace.

For me, the selling point of this time is about the comedy than the story itself. Most of the comedy are from the teasing of heroines to Yuuto and his tsukkomi in return so it may not work against people who don't understand the sense of humor from this. To be honest, I lost count how many times I drop my jaw from the the genius ways of teasing from the girls toward him and I even felt pity for him sometimes. He might be born to be everyone's toy that even the natural airhead Riz can make fun of him. The only one he can tease back (More like sexual harassment) is Hio the tsundere osanajimi only to see hell later and it's also executed well to get the laughs out of me.

That said, it's not like they are slack about the plot to focus only on the comedy. Even if it's lighter this time, the drama is still good and well executed. I like how it mixes the jokes here and there in emotional moments to avoid making it too hard for the reader. Some may not like it because the seriousness is lowered but for me it's good balance.

About the characters:

- Yuuto: He is not much different from other standard harem MC out there without any outstanding features but still take all the heroines for granted from the beginning. What I like about him is his tsukkomi ability which I can even call master tier. I mean he can tsukkomi almost anything the heroines say even in his mind. Even his donkan can be used as comedy element. The writer did a good job about this to make him stand out more than other dull harem MC. Another good thing about him is he grows up a lot as a character in heroine routes and the way he make hard decisions without hesitation at the end of all the routes is pretty cool.

- Riz: My most favorite among the main heroines. You can see her as a dumb blonde hair wizard at first but she can be serious when the situation calls for. Also, the way she acts energetically and innocently at everything is pretty cute. Most of the times, unlike other girls with clear teasing intention, her boke are from lacking of common sense which always get quality tsukkomi from Yuuto and the laughs from me as well. She is the so called mood maker not only inside the game but for me the reader as well.

Even though she usually acts dumb and ignorant about everything, she is actually sharp and caring for Yuuto as his master. In all other routes, she is Yuuto's best ally and always there to help him against "The Bad Wizard". Her route is beautiful in which both Yuuto and she show a lot of growing up as character especially Yuuto with his determination.

- Hio: Cute tsundere with a bit violence. Tsundere is already outdated but they did portrait it well here for me as comedy element. I like tsundere so this is nothing more than just personal taste. At least she is indispensable here because she is the only one whom Yuuto can "fight back" (By no mean in physical way). Without her, Yuuto may be stressed to death from being bullied too much.

Her route is mostly about ichaicha and comedy so there is nothing much to say. The drama is not as heavy as other routes and even the climax makes you laugh a lot. That said, it's still good and Yuuto is pretty cool at the end.

- Toune: While calling herself loyal maid to Yuuto, other than taking care of him, she treats him the coarsest. Even without malice, her teasing is close to bully or insult. That's both cute and funny at the same time so no complains from me.

Her route is pretty chilled until the drama comes up. However, the solution is a bit too light and convenient for me considered how serious the situation is. Well, it still makes sense when you think about the nature of "The Bad Wizard".

- Setsuna: Just one word STALKER. Even so, she shows no mercy at all when it comes to teasing Yuuto and her stalking situation also produces lot of hilarious moments. I mean this is the first I heard of a stalker outright dissing the victim and even asking for cooperation from that said victim. She can be shy and acts cute too when getting into relationship.

Now it's a surprise that my most favorite is not even from the main heroines but the antagonist - "The Bad Wizard" or Black Setsuna -

It's obviously Setsuna's route is the true route here considered the amount of her CG and the length of the route. This is the reason I feel a bit disappointed about Setsuna here. I mean she is fine as normal heroine but as the main heroine in this game and the drama in her route, she lacks impact too much. To put it bluntly, she is just crazy bitch. After playing the role of tragedy heroine, she falls in love with Yuuto on her own then uses it as excuse to try to kill herself in front of him. From my point of view, she is just trying hard to get Yuuto's attention and make him fall for her by taking advantage of her tragedy. If she just wants to die then why does she have to do it in front of Yuuto to torment him? As result, he blames himself and loses motivation in what he has done until now as justice wizard so in a way she completely ruined Yuuto forever. What more? She even chases after him to corner him even more. Luckily, he is not that weak and already settled it as past mistake. Even after one year when you think she already got over it, her twisted love gets worse and this time she even involves Yuuto in her death wish.

As a person who used to have a big trauma in the past, I can understand that no logic can be used to explain the negative emotions a person in question is holding. After getting over it, you can look back and ask "Why did I do that at that time?" or say "Only crazy person would do something like that" etc but trust me, the you at that time wouldn't have stable mind to even think about common sense.

All that complains now are from a sane person who I have become and not to mention the characters in this game are kids so I don't really expect them to be that much reasonable. However, I did expect she would grow up as character and shine a bit more to be worthy of the main heroine title at the end of her route at least but nothing happened at all other than she realized how much Yuuto is important to her after almost losing everything. Ok, so everything she ever accomplished from the time she first met Yuuto to the end was just troubling him.

Still Setsuna being bad as main heroine does have merit on it own. This is where Yuuto shine as protagonist. To be honest, I do admire him for being able to stick with a crazy woman like her until the end. Even though he blames his past self about cornering Setsuna to her death, I don't think he ever did anything wrong What is strange about trying to get to know more about the person you care for? That being the trigger for her self righteous death wish was just poor excuse from a twisted crazy person like her so there was nothing for him to feel bad at all. I can even admit what he did to save her at that time was a super badass move. Not like everyone can kill their emotion and turn their back to the person they care for when that person in question is trying to commit suicide.

Even when you pick the "bad choice" to go into her route again one year later, Yuuto stays chad until the end. He is always there to support her weak mind and makes crazy decision again in the end (Well, he did has backup). When mere words can't reach a crazy person, you have to resort to crazy action in order to wake them up. This really reminds me of Akari in Aoi Tori or the MC in Amatsutsumi when they make crazy action for their beloved person.

Now why is my most favorite character Black Setsuna you ask? Even I was surprised about it. She acts as the antagonist until the end in other routes. Only when you read Setsuna's route, you can fully understand about her character. She is embodiment of Setsuna's dark side which is also Setsuna's tragic past. She claims to be "The Bad Wizard" who uses magic from misery to create happiness and she creates trouble for Yuuto and the heroines in their respective route. However, if you pay attention, she never really creates trouble for anyone, the trouble has always been there from the beginning and it's set to come up sooner or later. When that happens and both MC and the heroine are in deadlock, she appears and makes it worse? Not really, she just tries to help them in her own way by using magic based on their misery.

Since she says in the end of Setsuna's route that her magic is not about achieving happiness but only to run away from unhappiness, her efforts only create complicated situations which also serve as trial for Yuuto and the heroine to confirm their love for each other and get over the trouble by themself. More over, I always had a feeling that by making the situations more complicated, she just wants to test the feeling Yuuto has for the heroine. In other routes, she disappears after confirming that Yuuto truly loves another girl which means he also got over the past with her and will live happily ever after. Like in Riz's route, when Yuuto decides to throw away everything to run away with Riz, she disappears after sadly muttering "Ahah! Got rejected by Yuuto again..." Because she also loves him as Setsuna, there is no way she wants to make him sad.

In true route, even knowing that it would break the rule as "The Bad Wizard" which is her own existence, she uses magic from the the happiness when being with Yuuto one year ago which she is still holding up until now to save him and ceases to exist after that. This alone is already enough to prove how much she loves him.

With everything I said above, she is more than deserve to earn the spot of my most favorite character in this game. Secret devotion and self-sacrifice in love is always the best in my heart. I wish Black Setsuna was the main heroine instead. Sigh...


It's already long enough so I will end my review here. I recommend this game to everyone and feel free to share your impressions here after reading it. After this, I will take a break before moving to Kakenuke from Saga Planet which has the same youth theme.

< report >Hi, could you advise if this is a similar enough game to Amatsutsumi in terms of format and quality? I'm interested in playing (Realive's H themes weren't to my liking to I passed on it) another Purple Soft game but idk if this is worth playing.

< report >@3 This game is branching type which is different from Amatsutsumi with ladder structure. If you demand Amatsutsumi tier drama and heart breaking moments then don't expect much. Like I said in the review, they toned down a lot with that and chose to focus on comedy this time. It was a very nice change of pace for me and the story is still good enough to keep me interested. About H theme, it's good as always for me but I'm not sure about recommending a title based on that since my taste in H is a bit different from normal lol.

However, I do recommend you to give it a try just for the comedy and interesting cast of heroines. People seem to prefer Kakenuke with the same theme this time but I like Seishun more in term of pacing and the humors.
