  Wordy silly gender-disguising bland romantic story. The Sexual Content tag's pretty much a lie: There's a couple of very tame and innocent bra-and-panty scenes. That's all there is. If you're super into cutsey romance, and don't mind a very meh linear story that is essentially just a gal-selector you might get some mileage out of it. There's really nothing to it though.

  Decent plot, good art but VERY short game. You can complete it in under 2 hours, and it doesnt have any variety. Completing the game once to unlock the whole gallery is a bust as you dont get rewarded from playing it a second time, you only get new dialogue. Choices dont make much difference and there are very few endings, 3 to be exact, not even a hidden easter egg ending? Shame... Also the pacing was a bit too Sanic. A lot of new things were just slapped on your face and it was really hard to keep up. Shows that the writer had so much to tell but so little time and space. With slower pacing, would've easily stretched the game to at least 4 hours. Definitely not worth the original price, even at -20% off at 8 dollars it was a bad deal. Not enough bang for you buck, but worth it if you get it cheap. It had potential to be a much better and LONGER story but fell off short. I'll rate it Manlet/5

  After the somehow little disappointing titles from this dev, with 'Highschool Romance' you'll get a very decent and enjoyable VN. The art style is very nice and fresh, just the faces of the girls are a bit odd and you need some time to get used to them. The story isn't anything otherworldly but yet still nice and enjoyable and keeps you entertained through the game. Glad they added the 'maid' route because otherwise the game surely would have been short - took me about 2.5 hours to get the good and bad ending of Hoshi and Selina. In total it took me about 5 hours to see all CGs except one. IMHO it's a fair deal for the discounted price. I did not find any bugs but just a few minor typos and in some cases the written text wasn't matched to the correct girl. Nothing gamebreaking as you clearly can associate it to the right person. The only negative aspect (IMHO) is that the CG gallery is fully viewable right from the start of the game.

  I have never played a game like this in my life, so this is review is coming from someone who bought this game as a joke at first. [b]Warning: contains potential spoilers.[/b] Things I liked: [list] [*]Characters had lots of charm to them [*]Music was catchy [*]Cool environments, solid art [*]I got way more invested than I was expecting LOL [/list] Things I didn't like: [list] [*]I wish there were more drawings (poses? idk what to call it). Each character had only a few different animations and they shared a very similar model so there wasn't much variety. [*]Needs to show more 3rd party characters! Even if just for a couple scenes. I'd like to see more than just the 3 [*]It was a little short for $8. I don't know if I can fault the game for that. I took my time, went back and repeated stuff, and it was just under 3 hours of gameplay. I think if they added another character or two it would have helped. [/list] My advice: [list] [*]For the love of god tell "Miss Rowan" to try the clothes on herself [*]I feel bad for Hoshi cus Selina is a douche to her, but go with Selina. She is a wayy more entertaining girl [/list] Good foray into this kind of "game" for me. I probably give a superficially high rating of 8/10 because I wish Selina existed IRL. Would give +.5 more if I could figure out how to get with the principal

  The drawing style is very good and makes the game attractive to play through. The game is a bit short and can be played through in about an hour (although I spent some time getting different endings and making different choices by making a new save for every choice that I got). The "nudity" in the game is very light which I find appropriate for any game you would buy on steam for all your friends to see. If you want something "else" then there are surely other services for that, or you could always patch the games you buy here if that's what you want *hint hint* ; p If you are used to playing visual novels then this might be a bit light for you (because of the rather light and short story). I found the story to be pretty cute, even though they could have developed it a bit more. I would also have liked more scenes throughout the story as some dialogues would really deserve/need it, and I even found a few dialogues to not really fit with the current scene showing. Either way, for the price of this game I'd say it's worth it. It's a good game :)

  Why am I rating this!?! Oh so lonely I have become. Anyways, I love the subject matter of the game, but it should have been filled with more visuals/content, especially with events where a visual instead of only text would be nice. As well as more areas to make choices instead of it making them for me. Conclusion: - Cute, quirky, and kinky game Idea - But severely lacks content. Although, I don't really regret my purchase so it is hard to rate this with two options.

  The plot idea was meh.. but i enjoyed the characters in it. There are a few things i would like to see different. I wish Shoji had a bulge, I guess he could tuck. But i would have prefered to see something. More expressions on the characters faces, More poses. The art style is very nice with soft humor, It is quite short even for having 3 different endings. Its a solid VN. I'd recommend if you're into trap.

  Really like gender benders, and this one was surprisingly mature about it. Would have loved a few more CG, but the quality is there and the dialog makes it feel native and not a localized game. 8/10 would love a sequel.

  Played through and got the Selina ending. It's a cute game with stylish art, the characters look great. But it's pretty short. You can play through it in about one two-hour session, which isn't including the different endings of course. Something else that bothered me were the static characters. There aren't a great many expressions for them, and this clashes with the dialogue and intended emotion of the scene more than once. There are visual novels out there that do this better, but it's never really jarring, just disappointing. Also, I would have liked it better with adult content. Not sure if they left that out because of Steam or aesthetic decisions, but there is no 18+ version of the game. I'd recommend waiting for a sale, but if you have the money to blow I defs recommend it. Very cute characters with fun personalities. Plus adorable trap boy protagonist, what's not to love?
