It was like the feeling you get when you’re playing an all-ages game where they characters barely get to say “I-I like you” to each other and then they’re married/knocked up after the credits. They were the most well balanced and felt like a couple even in other characters routes.Įveryone only has one sex scene, which just felt weird for a character like Orion, since the game cut to them being married after the credit roll. Overall, Orion and Tomoe ultimately feel like the best pair in the game and their banter was the most fun to watch.
It’s so weird that in game with a heroine like Tomoe I sometimes found myself wishing Shizuka was the lead. Shizuka was more compassionate and understood other people better than Tomoe – and made Tomoe look a bit too clueless at times. She’s more easily shaken than Tomoe and gravitates towards more traditionally feminine things, but also works hard for her ambitions like studying to becoming a doctor. The thing I liked most about her is that unlike her appearance would suggest, she’s not one of those impossibly oblivious characters at all. Her design is pretty awkward and her voice tone isn’t as nice as Tomoe’s, but she has more growth in the story with the fraction of Tomoe’s screentime. However, I ended up preferring Tomoe’s counterpart Shizuka as a character slightly more much to my surprise.
Overall she’s very likable, has a pleasant voice and her thoughts are fun to listen to – scoring pretty high points as otome game heroines go right from the start. Despite being a so-called “battle heroine”, Tomoe thankfully doesn’t fall to the stereotype of being a complete meathead who’s clueless about other people’s feelings like a 10-year-old. She’s rather hedonist for a otome game heroine and loves cake and lounging around in underwear in her apartment. Tomoe as a protagonist stands out being outspoken and confident in herself.
