I liked that very much. It's a pretty neatly start for a new VN and i'm looking forward for new updates.
I certainly like the idea of managing your time. I don't have many experience with VN's, but i think it's not something that happens very often.
I already love Wilbert. I really, really appreciate seeing something different than the same races in the main cast. I appreciate even more for the fact that he is a whale <3
And while i really like the story so far, i'd actually work some more on giving atleast a little more backstory to characters here. Something like a retrospection maybe? I mostly talk about how Calino was making a body contact with Azure so confidently. From a player perspective he's a stranger. Hugging was ok, but petting was out of place in my opinion.
Why do everyone is flirting with Azure? xD
Edit: I also respect so much for character sprites. They are great! Love Calino's face already. As an artist myself i'd suggest to work a little more on Wilbert's snout tho. Looks a little too flat if you ask me.
