The best of the bunch of the "A Year of Springs trilogy"! It captures the exact moment that someone realizes they are not exactly how society dictates them to be, and does it in such a natural way that it almost feels like it actually happened.

As usual, the game is absolutely a soft vibe with the returning cast of Manami, Haru, and Erika all coming together and just interacting with each other. The game follows a bit after the last game, Last Day of Spring, and sorta fills the gap through out it's own story. Eventually, Erika makes an off handed remark to Manami, and Manami starts questioning her sexuality. Through this process Manami can ask for help from her friends, and eventually is outright told to look into it through the internet. Rightly, this whole ordeal is a self discovery story, and what it can mean to their current relationship and friendships. If not for the outright positivity and bright cast of characters I can absolutely seeing this going south fast, but the way they all help support each other is delightful and tugs at your heartstrings.

Spring Leaves No Flowers just feels like a honest look into what finding out about your own sexuality is, and with the way each game has sorta of made way for each characters understanding and established relationship in this current game makes this a wonderful ending to the series that works well.
