Recettear + Danmaku? Cool idea. I miss sound effects for grazing, and I feel like the hitboxes aren't exactly what they should be, so I keep hit while grazing since there is no good feedback when you're close enough.

Edit: I've played it some more. You really managed to put a lot of cards in here. The dialog is great, too.

i'd ask takane for advice on what to get for my special someone any day

This game has an immaculate level of polish. There are smooth animations for transitions. The UI is clear but also has character to reflect the theme. You have to scrape around for quibbles, like some item descriptions being cut off. Knowing which gift goes to who is pretty easy, but still nice to look around for the connection with character lore and the stated hints to match. And even if you know the item, the little danmaku duels are fun. Each one evokes the character or remind me of actually facing them in the main games. The challenge level felt just right for my modest shmup skills. I just wish those dang enigmatic customers would stop showing up when I am at 0/3 shields to ruin my perfect run!

I said to hell with the tutorial and completely missed the market sense and felt that something was off hahaha. Then... everything made sense. 

Favorite parts: It's beautiful! it's a very chill and simple game to pass the time with lots of nicely done callbacks to games and it just very well done! Had a great time.

Lots of neat ideas. I really like the spellcards, I was deliberately going market sense on some characters just to see the recreations.
