Story: This story is follows two sisters, Momoe and Nanako . Momoe is the older sister, and a young teacher at the high school her sister Nanako attends. These two girls however encounter guys who aren’t exactly what they seem. :) After all everyone has a dark side~

Okay it’s not really some big fantasy something story guys basically though haha~

Review: Okay the siblings do not look alike and everyone has these weird eye colors this can be solved in RL by circle lenses though so it’s not really weird., but the color schemes is what drew me in big time since I find it really nice. That and I’m guessing the stories coincide (like the first day of Momoe’s POV, when you start Nanako’s you’ll see her view)

I wanted to play the older teacher. lol. Okay but Momoe’s not really old since she’s only 22 and basically has the young teacher gig going on. And I’m also just going to write spoilers in here since I don’t know how to go about this lol~and I reallly need to get this off my chest especially since I’m flooding my LJ with it. But if you don’t want to read it skip the review section ^^

I went after Ishikawa Rui who’s voiced by Yusa Kouji first~ He’s just a year younger then Momoe, and she hires him to tutor her younger sister Nanako. His character…is very…just something Yusa Kouji would voice. He’s similar to Mizushima from Starry Sky and also to Seizh from Under the Moon (and a few others lol) but I think Yusa Kouji has been wearing me down since I’m starting succumb to him ._. or well at least not “hate” him as much.

Honestly though after you let him in your house and when he visits Momoe in the kitchen…after doing that to her, honestly WHO WOULD LET HIM BACK IN THE HOUSE? Let alone let him tutor your younger sister in her room??? He even makes a comment about how it’s just you two girls and the dog in the house.

However waay later you end up visiting a host club because of some reunion class stuff and turns out there’s a host there. HAHA I KNEW IT WAS YOU ISHIKAWA. But anyways turns out Rui is also a host because he needs money and stuff.

:/ you have to play along and just drink the alchol and stuff though, and Momoe ends up getting drunk and the next morning…she wakes up naked in Ishikawa’s apartment with him. Then there’s the whole, she doesn’t remember and stuff going about…

You meet up with him later though at the park and get on the swings together. However he jumps up behind you and swings with you, and confesses that he’s the long lost first love Momoe had. He had some accident which is why he looks different and shit, and then there’s a reaaal dramatic scene and Momoe cries. ): So oh my god turns out that Ishikawa was the “main” guy!!!

She then visits him more at the host club, where these stupid clients and other people are hella mean towards her and stuff though. And guess what? One day she’s on a date with him and overhears how his whole story thing WAS A LIE. A LIE. WHAT TYPE OF MESSED UP GUY ARE YOU. HATE YOU BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT. :D well you have to play it to find out the rest. (You really do need to since I’m leaving out stuff that happens later.)

But basically it was me in this order – liking him, disliking him, creeped out, liking him again, omfg he’s awesome a lot i think i’m supposed to really like you know – i think i do, and then omfg i hate you so badly go die in a ditch you bastard, and then okay that was nice of you…and then…yeah some other stuff on a more nonhate way. Sooo I’m not too sure whether to see I liked him a lot, or just hated him a lot in the end. I can’t really say either though…

That and his route was too…choppy? I felt it was really fast paced with all that going around. Not to mention I was freaking out if I was going the right path and such since I wasn’t using a walk through.

Then I went toward Urashima, and turns out you always see him all freaking weak and stuff. So what’s up with that? I mean he’s great at volleyball…but he has times where he wears glasses and weak and stuff.

Oh. Turns out Momoe’s routes towards Urashima isn’t the cute genki one…but instead his older sicky brother who’s all smart and stuff. ): I was sad since I wanted her to get towards his younger brother but I guess he’s reserved for Nanako.

Anyways Urashima keeps on openly pretty much hitting on Momoe and I guess I could see how he started falling in love with her since after all she was the ONLY female who probably knew him for who he really was and stuff. He was also pretty bold and such o__o = and his kiss scene was the nicest out of all the other kiss scenes Momoe had.

His was sort of those story lines where you see in like manga and such where a male student gets with a female teacher. It was basically all him going after her with Momoi going “???!!!!” and being all teacher like. However his whole sickness and such breaks down her barriers and she later accepts him, not to mention his younger brother kept on begging you to do so even if it meant lying.

Urashima also has a point where he’s to take surgery buuut before hand you actually sign papers getting yourselves married to each other and then have sex in a hotel together lol. I guess Ishikawa isn’t the only person haha I wonder if Nanako is going to o__O …And ending wise depends on the outcome of his surgery…he either dies or he doesn’t.

Now for Yamino, his was sort of weird? I had no clue where he started LOVING her, let alone starting to have a crush on her. Heck they didn’t even KISS until after he proposed to her. o__o that and so far Ishikawa and Urashima had some sex in their endings (of course no descriptions or naughty CGs, but preeeeeeetty suggestive.) – but Yamino had none. However when you first get onto his route, he’s actually pretty sweet – ;A;

He also has a little shota son, and turns out that little son of his isn’t really his too haha~ Anyhoo though his ending was really cute, and we finally see how his hair looks NOT slicked back – which is much hotter in my opinion. I was sort of disappointed he had no eroish looking CG though…and found it strange since these younger people then Momoe are getting it. However he was sort of nice in his own way…er…I wonder how he’s going to be like with Nanako…he’s sort of the oddest one I can think of for her.

Mikado, was pretty….good actually. I have to admit I really liked his character design and Midorikawa voices him. His was the whole “Sensei, I love you!” deal which sounds like it’d be the same like Urashima but it’s not. And he tries to get her to see him as a man, and not as her student basically.

However what’s his side? Turns ouuuut he used to be a big old fat otaku cosplayer, and we find that out when this fat otaku friend of his goes to the same high school and shows everyone the picture of it on his cell phone. ): and then after that point all the girls that were fawning over him and everything suddenly are gone and everyone hates on him…

Momoe tries to save him, but thats when he steps up and blocks them telling them to stop bothering sensei. Ahhh ;A; Amedeo you put in another otaku character~

The ending is basically where Momoe cuts his hair and dyes it black or leaves it the same since he wants to also have an end to his playboy days. lol so I REALLY WAS UPSET AT THIS I actually was really really upset at this. I mean I LOVED HIS HAIR, and now it’s cut and he just…looks like a really ‘clean’ guy or well he was going for that anyways. Also while Momoe is cutting his hair he asks you if you’ll wait for him when he graduates and stuff.

:D So you get endings of him with either BLACK or Blonde hair (like 3 CGs with color variations of either blonde or black), depending if you decide to leave it that way. Honestly his black hair really makes him look like someone else…or well even his cut blonde hair. ): It really makes me sad ahahaha - here’s a comparison I did of it, orz~

And his ending was your marriage, (if he has black hair, he wears a white suit; blonde he wears a black suit.) – then your night together too. D:

So he got sex too ! Haha

Alright so now to get onto the “Teacher only” guy, which is Li.

So…his was sort of tricky to get around towards, and actually pretty somewhat more normal then I’d thought it’d be. It goes in hand with Ishikawa’s route as well. But he also gets sex too, also DURING his route.

Gameplay:

Menu has you choose whether to play as the younger sister, or the older sister. There’s also a selection where you can change their names and last name as well. Other then that, standard VN.

Music: Ehh I was pretty disappointed with it when I first listened to it, since it’s nothing really awesome and stuff. I got used to it though.

Seiyuu: Yusa Kouji, you really fit Ishikawa. And I think I’m hideously becoming a fan/used to you. ): I still love Taniyama more but I’m getting used to you. I really liked Midorikawa’s role as Mikado though a whole lot ^^

Conclusion: So everyone minus Yamino, got an ero situation. Not only that BUT he didn’t even kiss you till waaaaay later as well.

Kiss CGs were pretty meh, except for Li’s and Urashima’s maybe. And this game gave me a lot of rickrolls or well to be more precisely just Ishikawa and Urashima – on the most hand. Anyways though overall I have to say I’m pretty satisfied with it, I sort of think they should have just made this 18+ and add some ero situations since this game had some pretty choppy/fast paced moments. …I mean I still don’t see where Yamino’s feelings for Momoe developed…at least not much, and so why not just fill it in with some ero scenes lolol after all they for the other guys they do mention it happening and gave some suggestive CGs.

The most “suggestive” being really Urashima’s number one and Mikado’s. Ishikawa’s is really just after sex and same with Li’s.

I found…the CGs to be really pretty though, especially one of Ishikawa’s CG being really beautiful.

Um okay overall, would I play this again? I would.

But I’m going to go onto Momoe’s since I heard that her stories are actually better. But I find the whole playing as a somewhat older woman and teacher, more appealing then just a student. That and I want to know what the freak Haru looks like, since they just show this weird ass Teddy Bear costume. o__o she won’t be getting anything with Li also since that’s for Momoe only.

I guess the main disappointment though, is the fact that ._. if I reformat my computer, or install this on another I have to freaking use a patch so I can play it. orz oh well, it was worth buying still…but seriously…

Now onto Momoe’s – or well actually I  might try to finish Starry Sky -In Winter- since I already finished one guy completely. I just don’t’ want it to end ): so I’m prolonging it.

CGs:
