ive gotten all endings except for bad ending, any hints or tips?
also this game is so wholesome and adorable i cant !! the art, the characters and the STAFF ? ! its too cute to comprehend...
I knew that this game was going to be great after playing A Pet Shop After Dark and Haru being trans was very nice. The only mystery I want to solve is: Why is there 3000+ pages worth of save files? *Just curious.*
so cuteee!!
love this game <3
Your artwork is very cute.
I loved it! I loved it I loved it I LOVED IT!!
So sweet, so cute, and so amazing. As much as the Bad Ending was pretty sad that Haru couldn't enjoy herself, I have to admit that the Normal Ending literally broke my heart when I read Manami's text to Haru... she wanted to go to the Hot Springs but SHE COMPLETELY CHANGED HER PLANS SO SHE COULD SPEND HER BIRTHDAY WITH HER FRIEND!!!
Manami is heartbreakingly kind. I love this game! Absolutely great!
I love this game so much it's so cute!
this is really cute game, which allows me to understand my trans (mtf, but also ftm !!) friends' problems. i learn more about they feelings and this is most exciting part of the game <3 i'm glad i had a chance to play it. i also like concept of the characters !! manami's kindness melted my heart, erika's made me laugh sometimes and haru's problems,,, i wanna hug her so much :(( and ily for polish translation <3

It was really sweet, and I liked it a lot. I got the "Erika end 2", sadly I don't have the patience to try getting all the others, but I definitely enjoyed this, thank you for making it.
Looks like I finally played this game, The storyline is Great and sad, I wanted say the drawing is just *chef kiss* no point in this comment, just wanted to say I admire the art style alot. lol
What a beautiful story, characters, and art style! Thank you for making this and sharing it with all of us!

my Fanart of Haru :)
SO CUTE! I LOVE IT
thank you very much :)
i love it
Thank you so much :) I am glad to see it is loved :)
THAT WAS SO CUTE
really cute game and interesting to see a little how a transgender life can be, i dont know how it is to be transgender but the part 'dont belong ' or 'dont fit in' can be said for other differences in the society ..this i do know very well and it can be a pain from kindergarden to high school or even adult life
I cried a litte in the end :(( This game is so cute and sweet and the art is really good, I loved.
"Do you have the world's lowest self esteem?" She said was i was thinking the whole time.
Just wanted to let you know I featured your story in the latest episode of my podcast, "Is This Game Queer?" The episode is here if you're interested. Thank you for making such an adorable, thought-provoking game!
Just picked up this game, so far the first story is perfect with choices to made as well I'm really enjoying it npckc keep up the good work. One of the best experiences i have had with video games.
Thanks for making this short story.
Like Rednaxelus, I liked above all that everyone in this game makes mistakes, and only out of venial misunderstandings rather than malice; each character has traits (and romantic feelings tangled up with them) that could likewise lead to good or bad effects on another.
And I took the choices I'd have taken, and I also got Erika 2 as my first ending (and after having seen them all, I still liked it best). I think this isn't a coincidence -- your design works.
"The people that don't fit in will never fit in." All I have to add is:
That's not just true for high school. Rather, it's the Path of Now and Forever from Earth to Groombridge. Like Haru, I've found this belief more liberating than bleak. There's always some who do truly care who you are, in brightness or in error.
Yours, Vidfa
