Absolutely loved this! It was such an enjoyable experience, the production value was off the charts! I adored how you used the comic-panel style, I've always been intrigued by it's usage in VNs but your minimal animations made it feel really dynamic too! And the lighting was spot-on too, the sprites melded perfectly with the background and was a delight to look at! The voice acting was very top-notch too, it felt very natural; they did an amazing job!
(Slight spoilers for people who haven't played it yet!) As an avid consumer of Japanese media, I immediately got the hints from the title of the game and Raku's name, very ingenious, but when the first hint arrived I still went "No wayyyy" haha I really enjoyed the twist. I really enjoyed both Raku's and Nelli's characters, they both felt very real and interesting! Loved Nelli's kind and no-nonsense manner but she's willing to do what needs to be done for the people she cares about. Raku was creepy but also very dream-like. I really liked how he described his feelings for Nelli, it was very touching. Their shared memories were cute to read too, relationship goals! Overall a top-notch game, I really enjoyed this, well done!
(Copy-pasting review as comment again because I'm not 100% sure which is better so just doing both asdfghjkll)
