There is a heavy focus on comedy and friendship in this visual novel, which were done very well. I especially enjoyed the comedy because there were many references to anime and internet culture (like Rick Astley and Dr. Phil), so I felt like I was apart of this otaku group as well. As the title of the game suggests, there are love triangles, 2 of them: the sister love triangle and the friend love triangle. I have so far only done Shiina's route, so I don't know how the sister love triangle was done. However, I enjoyed the romance in the story and liked the romance progression throughout the common route, love triangle route, and heroine route. If you were curious, the common route took me about 6.7 hours and Shiina's route took about 6.2 hours (I listened to most of the voiced lines).

Having finished all 5 routes after 49 hours of reading (I listened to all the voices), I can say that I loved every single route in the game. There was an amazing blend of romance and comedy in each route which never failed to make me laugh or get the feels. This is a 10/10 visual novel which I doubt I will ever forget.

This vn is different from all the other romance visual novels I've read because this has working-adult love stories; it's not a high school romance. Also, the supporting characters and main characters are hilarious and add to the overall experience. If you're a fan of romance-comedy stories - emphasis on romance - then you do not want to miss out on this because that is what the entire story is focused on.

I have played through all of the heroines' routes, except Yuzuyu's, whose route I'm almost finished with. I fully recommend getting this visual novel if you enjoy the romance comedy genre, because that is what this vn is focused on.

I really enjoyed all the routes, and the relationships between the protagonist and the heroines feel very nice and natural; however, I do need to mention that I didn't enjoy Misaki's route as much, mostly because her personality and the interactions as a couple with her didn't feel that right to me, but that is a completely personal preference. If you enjoy shy, awkward-about-love type of girls, then you will probably enjoy Misaki's route more than I did.

Overall, this vn is definitely worth your money full price if you love the romance genre. And although this has a very interpretive translation (especially with profanity), it was not hard to look past that and enjoy the story. Now it's time to wait until April 3rd for Smee's next localized release, Making Lovers.

I have so far completed Yoshsino, Murasame, and Koharu's routes. First playthrough took about 24 hours. The common route took me about 12 hours to complete, each main character route seems to be about 10 hours ± 2 hours, while the side heroine routes (only did Koharu's so far) took about 4-5 hours.

So far I am extremely happy with my purchase of this game. The art and character designs are phenomenal in my opinion and the music does a great job of setting the tone of the scene and really drawing you into the atmosphere of the story.

The comedy in the game was a great distraction from my loneliness on Valentines Day and kept me laughing for a large portion of what I read so far. The scenarios were also made very believable by the writing in the story. Though, I am usually a laid back reader, so if something is "bad writing" I wouldn't really care or be able to tell unless it really stood out.

The romance in the game was very well done, felt believably, and had really sweet moments too. At the moment, Murasame is best girl for me, but both Yoshino's and Murasame's routes were very good, and handled the drama/struggles aspects well. In Koharu's route, I also liked the love triangle that ensued between her and Roka; I thought it was cool to see the interactions between them.

Lastly, the technical features of the game are superb, some of the best I have seen in a visual novel, and I have read many. There is a voice bookmark feature which is improved from their previous novel, a customizable menu bar (the bar that is at the bottom of the text box), and bindable keybinds, which is rare (in my experience) to see in a visual novel.

So far this has been a great vn, and I don't regret buying it. I greatly enjoy the characters, story, setting, and fantasy aspect.

If you are still hesitant, try out the free demo first, and if you decide to get it, you can copy the data in the Trial Version savedata folder (can be found in Steam\userdata\[your user id]\1221010) before buying the game, then pasting the saves into the main game save folder (Steam\userdata\[user id]\1144400) in order to keep your old data, or you can just skip through until you get where you left off in the Trial Version (change ctrl skip from skip only "read text" to skip "unread text" in order to skip without needing to rapidly smash the spacebar or enter key).

This romance, slice-of-life, drama visual novel is currently one of my top favorite visual novels, along with Sabbat of the Witch. I have only finished 2 of the 5 routes so far, but the 2 that I have read (Asaba Konami and Tsukishima Yuri) were very well done and the romantic and dramatic developments were also executed excellently. At the moment, I am leaning more towards Yuri being best girl, but I like Konami almost as much as Yuri, so it's a hard choice, and best girl might also change once I get around to finishing the rest of the routes.

The art was superb as well and sometimes I found myself sitting and just listening to the background music because it was relaxing and composed nicely.

Overall, if you enjoy romance visual novels with some drama and supernatural elements in it, then don't pass this one up. It has high production quality, great romantic development, and believable drama.
