Omg thanks so much for this!! Such a great, in-depth review. I’ve been really excited for this one- the reverse-harem romcom aspect sounds like a breath of fresh air against all the angsty, story-heavy otomes!! And everything you said about the guys really piqued my interest! And the art style/main character too!! I’ll be getting this one for sure 😆👍🏽
I’m happy that you found this review useful! 🥰 The characters are all so eccentric and behave/have traits that surprise you as you get to know them. Honestly, if you like a good rom com or chick flick, this game is amazing, and like you said, the art 😍 Glad you’re gonna purchase it 😂💕
It is such a chick flick, or like a jdrama situation game 😂 it’s an emotional rollercoaster (lots of laughter, some emotional bits, then a happily ever after in the end - unless you purposefully pick the “wrong” options and go down the bad ends lol).
I’m new to your channel but I’m already in love with your content 💖 tysm for your recommendations and helping us broad our “repertoire” of otoge’s hehe 😋
Omg thank you for this I’ve seen this around and have been unsure if I should add it to my Otome List or not and you helped me confirm yes I want to play this game and I’m liking the look of the pink hair dude because I have a thing for pink haired boys and Oresamas are a fave trope of mine and man does he remind me of Mammon from Obey Me who also has gambling problems being the Avatar of Greed!
I’m so happy to hear my video helped! I remember when it came out, a lot of people in Japan liked Taiga, he’s a good character 😁 and definitely if you like oresama characters haha
I purchased semi used Nintendo switch and I bought this game as a first of my future switch library... I'm so proud about my choice in fact this is my first otome novel.
@@RestingPeachFace Play The Ssum. It's horrible but also free on mobile, so you won't waste money. (By free, I'm saying if you try to ignore that EXTREMELY COSTY SUBSCRIPTION that you can't read some texts or view some photos without!!!!)
currently playing it and just finished Taiga's love end. It's a very well made game and they definitely put thought to it. I agree with you about Ichiya hahaha I find him incredibly annoying in the beginning but slowly his flirting just went from one ear and out the other and ended up not minding it. He is actually my least fave right now but going through Taiga's run, I started liking him there. He stopped flirting and I saw another side to him there which made him likable! Still, though Taiga is my fave but it may change as I keep playing. ,Nayuto is pure fun but oddly sexy when he throws out his masochistic doggy side and Shion is second most observant and calming.
Omg right!? It’s so weird, and when you play his route you understand him better, which in turn makes you like him more! 😂 Taiga was my favourite before playing Ichiya I think 🙂 but then looking back at it Shion and Nayuta were also cool. It’s one of those games where it’s a struggle to pick a favourite 🥰 Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! 😁
The switch version has a "continuous play" option in the settings! So you don't have to select each square manually when you want to skip. It'll just speed right through and it goes by super fast 🙌 I hope everyone gets this one I love it so much 💛 NAYUTA BEST BOY
Ooooh perhaps I did use that, I can never remember these things lmao. Thanks for commenting the info 😁 Yesss! I love this game too, and Nayuta omg 😂 I can’t wait to see what people think of him 👀
I'm just recently getting into the otome games and this has been my favorite so far. The I laughed, I cried. I loved the main character and the bachelors were disasters but grew on me. 10/10 for me
I’ve been looking forward to this one since it got announced!! I love the premise it reminds me of the trashy dating shows I watch as a guilty pleasure 😅 When you said “trash men.. but in a good way” I was like omg I’m sold 😂 Just wondering- will you be doing a review for dairoku agents of sakuratani? I can’t quite seem to get a read on what that game is like
It’s so good! I love that each character has a solid backstory that’s both heartfelt and funny at the same time 😍 And I’d like to at some point, but I haven’t played it yet because it’s not what I normally go for? But I’ve heard it’s a good game to play if you want something that you can get through at a good pace because it isn’t too long (in a good way). Like when it was released in Japan, my Twitter was talking a lot about it so it clearly was a fun game, but I can’t tell you why or how because I haven’t played it myself. I’m sorry I’m not being of much help ; -;
@@RestingPeachFace no it’s ok thank you for sharing what you know!! I love the art from what I’ve seen so I’m glad to hear that people enjoyed the game! I’m sure I’ll end up buying it 😂
@@madeleine3873 If Aksys are kind enough to provide me with a free copy 🤞 I’ll do a review on it! I think the artist is the same person who drew the art for Bad Apple Wars 🙂
I really love the art style and after hearing what this game will be like i bought it today xD im still busy finishing cafe enchante first and my pile of shame is looong buuut i love a good romcom!!😂😂❤couldnt resist lol
Eeee! I hope you're enjoying this game (if you're playing it right now). The artstyle really spoke to me too - it's just so pretty! Not QUITE the same, but if you like the art, then Radiant Tale (coming out this Summer) is by the same artist. Perhaps you'll be interested in that one too 💕
I finished the good ending with Taiga today and I watched even his After, I'm surprised for the Hibari's character, she is changed from the beginning of intermission OMG, I'm very curious about the good ending with the others suitors
That’s one of the many things I enjoyed about this game! Hibari grows so much as a character as the game progresses 🥰 I hope you enjoy the other LIs too! 💕
Writing points while I'm watching this video so I don't forget anything LOL: 1. Wait HOW does that diagram work?! 2. By alternative ending, I think you mean a normal ending? 3. The first guy's looks remind me of Zen LOL 4. OMG, second guy is so my type! I AM OBSESSED WITH PUPPY BOYS! 5. Never mind, fourth guy acts like Zen. But he looks like Jumin even though they are rivals LOL 6. In the final route, who is MC dating? Or is it completely seperate from the other routes? 7. OMG I love romcoms and shoujo and anything like that 8. OMG WHO wants a full of despair story? I don't LOL I like happiness!!! 9. Laughed at 'don't want to romance jobless men' LOL!!! Also laughed when you said their 'special hobbies' if you know what I mean LOL This video was really fun to watch! Sorry for all the points, I'm so talkative online, NOT in real life though LOL
I'm so excited to play this today I'm watching this during work to get excited for it 🥰 I'm feeling a CupiPara vibe where I'm going to want to punch the characters initially but I will LOVE them after 😂
Yesss! You should also come to my stream this Friday 😍 but you’re right with the wanting to punch them at the start and then adoring them at the end 😁 can’t wait to hear who ends up being your favourite 🥰
i have finished yesterday the good ending with Nayuta Kun OMG.... Now i am curious about Ichiya in fact i was suprised that in the Ichiya's route Kazu appears hahahaha
Oooooh, I think many people liked Nayuta, he is such a sweetheart 😭 As for Ichiya, he was my favourite, I hope you enjoy his route! It’s a little more depressing than the others iirc 👀

* going back to your videos again whenever I'm unsure of getting a new otomex'D Just finished Dairoku and been debating if I should buy VariBari next as a backup game for when I need a break from RF5! Really glad, you reviewed this game as well^^ The Romance n Reasoning mechanics sounds cool and fun. The part of the game eventually showing how and why the LI's are eccentric intrigues me as well. Ouch, I'm kinda a sucker for angst and tragedy haha but, I think I can put that aside since I enjoy more an active and very present mc. ^^ Btw you mentioned that it's very rom-com and chick flic, I wanted to ask is the game all fun and games? like no climax with conflict, confrontation, tension or serious stuff/talk?
It’s sweet that you use my reviews to decide whether to buy a game or not 🥺💕 And the game is primarily comedy, but there are moments that are actually quite emotional, a bit like how romcoms have ups and downs in the story. Also learning the backstory of Hibari is quite interesting 😁 So yeah, it’s not only fun and games 👀 if that’s helps lol.

Anyway, keep up the good work! ✨✨✨ Your reviews are super helpful for how: they don't have spoilers, you always point out the pro and cons! ^^
Somehow, I have a bad feeling about the butler since the moment I see him. Don't tell me he's one of those yandere guys. 😱 (No offense to the ones who love yandere character)

the rest of them were meh repetitive and expected
I think it depends on who you are because I’ve come across people who felt the same as you but also some who really enjoyed the game 🙂
Hey could you tell me what games dod you enjoy, wanna see if we have similar taste (for me Birushana was just like you described)

Omg perfect timing!!! It’s a fun game esp if you like romcoms, it’s an emotional rollercoaster at times though 😂 but like in a chick flick way.
