I saw a lot of complaints on f95zone about the whole blackmail that Ayase does, and I'm glad I didn't listen to them. I don't really understand what the big deal was, and it seems like she's growing feelings for the MC and may apologize/address the blackmail later on. I do think the small breast jokes that the MC makes about Miharu does get excessive though.
This also feels like a romcom anime lul.
I think this is also the best looking VN I've played so far, and that's saying a lot when you have the likes of Eternum and others. The visuals, the setpieces, the characters, all of it is so ridiculously detailed and high quality.
Ayase might be the hottest girl I've seen in the itch.io VN space. Not fully certain on that, but she's definitely up there. Miharu as well.
One criticism I have is unlocking Ayase's h-scene. I really think that choosing the cat thing is really unjustified because there doesn't really seem to be a correlation. I even completely forgot about the scene which only contributes to my point. So far this story rarely seems to have paths, which is fine with me, but whenever you do have choices for branching paths, they should make sense, and in this case it really doesn't in my opinion.
