A short, sweet, and emotional VN about three young adult friends navigating their feelings and sexuality. An exploration of queer themes, this is perfect for people who are LGBTQ or who have friends and family who are. Very wholesome and cute, my only complaints are I wanted more story!

As a Trans woman myself, I found the struggles in this game so real. The way she feels uncomfortable going into specific washrooms or change rooms because she feels like she doesn't belong is way too relatable, and it really just brings to light the struggles trans women have to face in a society that is overall built for a specific demographic. I really enjoyed the relationship building between Haru and Erika because I thought it was really cute. It also brings a really accurate depiction to asexuality and aromanticism, and how someone might be confused or conflicted because they realise that they might be either or both, and how someone who is aro/ace might be scared to talk about it because they feel it doesn't align with how everyone else feels. Moral of the story: Struggling to come to terms with how you feel, and who you are, is normal. Don't let there be boundaries to your identity, and figure yourself out as you go along. Be willing to accept those who are different from you, and don't take shit from those who are afraid to face difference. The world isn't as bad as you might think, no matter what you see in the news, or media, you should live knowing that there are always going to be those that will love you, care about you, and accept you for who you are. In summary, as a transgender woman who also happens to be aroace, I enjoyed the accuracy of the struggles depicted in the story, as I could relate to the characters in a deeper way. Whether it being reluctance to enter the proper facilities, being reluctant to go out, talk, or do things with others because you're scared, or even having to deal with the struggles of legality, misgendering, unaccommodating company policies, or just interacting with people in general. If you're trans, doesn't matter if you're AMaB or AFaB, you are valid, and you should do what makes you the most happy. If your're aroace, you are valid, and you should stick to what makes you comfortable, not what shoves you into the corner of societal expectations. No matter your gender or sexuality, YOU ARE VALID, so be confident in you, and ignore the haters. Be safe out there ya'll. TLDR: The game was relatable, fun, and overall amazing. You should accept yourself and others, because everyone deserves to be happy.
