Sept. 2025
This is likely the most ordinary and refreshing representation of "zombieness" I've encountered in fiction so far. I enjoyed how the disease is the core focus of the story, especially seeing many diverse perspectives (from affected, as well as unaffected characters) highly interested me. Additionally, the world-building and lore are well thought-out and get presented in a quite natural way. The characters and their relationships are also nicely written and rather multidimensional. While I'm usually not too fond of such writing style, I actually liked how the plot centers around casual daily life and feels rather slow-paced, even if I found some scenes boring lol. However, the writing still manages to portray the intense and "insane" moments accordingly, and does it impressively on top of that! Something that immediately captivated me, is the setting, it feels quite unique in this context, although stays fairly close to reality of that time. Moreover, the art and music are stunning, plus the layout of the text allows room for creativity. I noticed though, that the scenery frequently feels quite silent, in a sense that the music tends to often stop for a while. I just found it sad that such lovely soundtrack didn't get used more extensively throughout the game. That aside, I didn't perceive any noteworthy shortages and simply believe, that the story isn't for everyone due to the slow-paced writing style. Altogether, this was a very pleasant experience that managed to make me emotional on various ways and kept me invested. A quite wholesome, yet devastating story.

A delightfully mature and human story in a medium that is mostly known for wacky romantic comedies and cute anime girls. Hira Hira Hihiru never ceased to surprise and delight me. It has a complex tone that is at once somber, contemplative, and full of hope and warmth. I suspect that the writer has some experience with caring for a loved one with a disability, as the questions the game raises and the conclusions that it comes to feel very authentic and honest.

It's a beautiful short story depicting various circumstances and experiences of physical and mental illness from multiple perspectives (patient, doctor, family, and friend). I wouldn't be surprised if the author was a primary caregiver for a close someone who wasn't able to take care of themselves. It's not written as crass or artless edutainment, but there's genuinely good advice in there, especially about the power and limitation of love when it comes to the day-to-day wear and grind of looking after someone. The main point of contention people may have with the story is its structural critiques about how society treats people with physical and mental illnesses. It's pretty toothless and mostly used to exonerate the familial abuse and ableism from the various people you learn about. A core idea the author keeps revisiting is that most people inherently want to do good, and that when we fail to do that for the most marginalised in society, it's a failure of community support, education, and economic resources. It's not something I entirely disagree with, but I think the game is too forgiving of people who choose to do horrid things even if their situation isn't conducive to a positive outcome. At the same time, a big reason why I enjoyed the game was the story's unwavering faith that even the most prejudiced among us can learn to be good. Every bad decision made by anyone in the story was a step away from being a good decision that could've been if their situation was just a little more different. Again, not a perspective I 100% agree with, but it's also not a vapid saccharine story, and I appreciated its affirmation of a shared humanity that can be found anywhere as long as we look and work to make the world a place for it. Also a really personal and humanistic portrayal of people suffering from physical and mental illness. Earlier I wrote that I wouldn't be surprised if the author was a primary caregiver for someone, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they also drew from personal experience as a patient as well.

A game that is definitely worthwhile to broaden your wisdom about discrimination and morality. The translation and writing is absolutely world-class. All the characters are really likable (I personally think I'd be Chinryu). Though the progression was slow to my taste, I was strangely more than willing to keep reading. And to top it all off, the art was so delicious i could tangibly lick it.

This is a beautiful and emotional story where the game's premise (a condition called Aerodema) serves as an excellent metaphor for problems in healthcare in the world today, especially when it comes to mental health and care for the elderly. The music and art are beautiful, and the story is well-paced and the sensitive subject matter is appropriately handled.
