ReviewGreat game if you're into tsunderes, glasses, zettai ryouiki and teasing/love-hate relationships. Light apparently pioneered the one heroine, low price series format before it was a common thing, and they did a good job of it. The beginning is more comedic, and then takes a turn into a total sugarfest with some drama at the end, which was handled fairly non-stressfully. The sex scenes are great and aplenty. I particularly liked how the plot naturally segues into them - there's a part in the middle where there are 4 or 5 of them in a row interspersed with some pillow talk and they flow very nicely from one into another. Oh, and there's a choice to choose glasses/no glasses before each and every one. Talk about being catering to fetishes.

This game is 100% romance, so don't come in expecting an overarching plot or anything. It's just tsundere ice queen Arimi being slowly melted by the protagonist's relentless romantic overtures (and then lots of sex).

The only thing about this game that bothered me were Usoya Sasaki Kibito's writing quirks, which... Well, just see for yourself. Yes, the whole game reads like this, although it seems he laid off the colors, emojis, parentheses, gratitious katakana etc after the beginning (or maybe I just got used to it). The other things the writer is known for - endless, useless trivia - actually played to the characters' strengths, since Kazushige and Arimi have a dynamic where they constantly try to one-up each other with knowledge, so that didn't feel out of place. (Be sure to brush up your Warring States lingo before playing!) Also there are 4 endings but the differences between them are cosmetic to the point where I question their existence.

Overall the game was so pleasant that I might check out the rest of the series, Don-chan ga Kyuu and especially Majino Complex.
