Come for the cute ninja boys, stay for the themes of the way the rich and powerful treat the common man as expendable pawns in their political games. All the routes are interesting and fun! The characters are compelling and there were some definite surprises, and as I tend to prefer otomes with well realized protagonists more than I like self-insert ciphers I like Enju! She’s a pretty good otome protagonist!

The music is pretty good and the art’s nice, too. Gotta say, though, one star off for no Tokugawa and/or Kyara route. Where are they. Tokugawa is so pretty and I like my wlw options. Oh well, what was there was pretty good so I can’t complain too much.

Big agree with everything! The culmination of Gekkamaru's route made me cry with the realization of the full meaning of the game's title and the themes the story addresses. I also took points off for no Tokugawa or Kyara route, lol, since I basically played the game from the perspective of an Enju that was pining for Kyara.

YEAH IT'S REALLY GOOD. I was not expecting the devoted childhood friend route to get me that hard because that's not quite my type in terms of personal preferences but Gekkamaru hit me like a truck. but yeah kyara route where... maybe if they do a fandisc someday....
