played it on my cellphone. cute :)

such a sweet game <3 as a trans guy its so sweet to see these kinds of games support the transgender community!!

played this when i was younger and now im nonbinary. if this is the game that did it i have no complaints. (joking aside, very cute game with a very sweet premise. good exercise in empathy for cis people i think)

This game is so cute and necessary! I love games that talk about topics like transsexuality, I played this game on the playstore a while ago and it's just perfect! I recommend it ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡

Played this a while back on the Google Play store :> learned things about the transgender experience as someone who's cis + the game in general is just super cute

I am at awe, the writing is expectacular. Thank you very much for this feeling journey <3

This game is wonderful ohmygod!!! thank you for making this it made me feel great!

This game made me so happy and hopeful. and the good endings made me tear up with joy. thanks for another cute game :)

I remember playing this game a while ago on steam, and I think I didn't really get what it was about at the time, now, since somethings has happend to me regarding of gender and all, it feels like a really sweet game and I'm really happy to enconter it....

I remember that when I play it back then I did all the endings, but rn, I don't have the heart to do any other endings :'), a really sweet experience, thank you so much for making it!!!

Nice game, also happy pride mouth :)

im to lazy to get all endings rn but i love that game sm~

(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

 Real.

10/10 this is amazing

i loved this <333

i haven't gotten all the endings yet but this game is lovely <3 i think i speak for a lot of people when i say the story resonated with me a lot

ty for making this :]

Interesting game

This was lovely, I appreciate the effort and care that was put into this game <3 <3 <3 please, do more games like this one

As a non-binary trans person I was a bit worried to play this because of the subject matter, but it's a lovely game. Didn't realise there were multiple endings, so it was a nice surprise! :)

this game is lovely. lovely is the word that describes this game. it touches on issues that trans people face but is a nice example of how things can go well and showing trans joy. the main character reminds me a lot of one of my closest friends so I think it home in that regard. I really hope she gets to come out one day and live her life as her authentic self :,3

getting sidetracked. this is a lovely little game. all the art is so cute. the characters are so sweet. everyone needs to play this game :] <3

i find it really cute you thought of your friend while playing :3 maybe you should show her(correct me if im wrong w pronouns..) it :D

:3 I have sent it to her! she has exams right now but after that I will make her play it >:D

WOOOOOOOO

this was a lovely game

this was just beautiful in every way, i've never had a video game make me cry before but I'm happy to say this game made me happy cry :) i've never played a game that made me feel okay to be who i am before. thank you for making this wonderful game

I played this game on Steam and I love it! The first VN I loved from beginning to end.

very cute game with great story

game absolutely resonates to me in a way i didnt think was possible, thank you for making this, really hit me in the feels :)

I just played this game. I'm a closeted, young (16 yo) trans girl and the way Haru thinks is the same as mine.

I loved this, thank you

I just played this game as I begin my journey to transition, and I don't think I could have picked a better time. It really resonated with me... during such a scary process, it's good to have the reminder that people can be kind.

art is so cute and the "world can be kind" ending is so sweet 🥹 the hearts mechanic is really cool too and i think very fitting for haru's character! i honestly related to that aspect of her. it made me cry when she had that hot springs talk with erika; even if the art isn't hyper-realistic, it felt so real.

i think this game really showed a right amount of both good and not-the-most-pleasant results from having courage not to hold yourself back, because both are inevitable but the good ones make it the most worthwhile <33 thank you for this game and i will def be getting the full version soon!!

this was literally one of the sweetest games ever,, :( my first ending was "the world can be kind" ending, and i also managed to get the upgraded room the first time playing, so finding out about the pink lady's sister,,, that really was the most conclusive and beautiful ending that i could've gotten for a first playthrough so i'm so happy with my choices. 


that being said, all of the other endings are very sweet too because you can tell how kind and understanding haru's friends are.  i think one of my favorite parts about it was the heart to heart that erika and haru had in the hot springs, and the gallery message that came with it, it sounds like they've come to be very comfortable with each other HAHA. i also really loved the message of the "honesty is a gift" ending because it's very true, communication is key in all healthy relationships!! one of the most wholesome vns i've ever played, and one that lots of people should play, no matter where they lie in the gender spectrum.

Really cool game. The mood is very fitting and as a trans woman myself I could very much relate to the main character. Would absolutely recommend!

I remember playing this game when I was around 10. At the time, I didn't really understand what was happening, only that this girl was nervous because other people wouldn't want her in their hot-springs. I am now a 15 year old trans dude who recently came back to play this game. It still holds up so well. This is an emotional ride of nostalgia and trans pride for me, and I love every moment of it.

great game overall, i think it was really deep and an emotional journey. i played through to unlock all of the possible endings. the normal and bad ending were really sad and this game really opened my eyes to better understand the struggles trans people face. the good endings were really heartwarming. i especially liked getting to enjoy the womens hot spring with erika and it was super sweet how she helps our character out with getting out of having to spend time with manami's boyfriend. i think it was really nice how the spa staff was understanding and went out of their way to make sure their trans guest felt comfortable and had a good time. i liked that there were many different endings and i also loved the art style and music.

This was a really nice and heartfelt game. I got Erica Ending 2 on my first try and I liked how lowkey and real it felt. Then trying to hunt other endings was a wave of emotions. The route to the Good End was a bit unexpected, but I'm glad I found it. 

I almost cried while playing this (Haru x Manami)

i played this game a while back and didn't right anything but man was it cute

as a silly girl, this game made me cry. 10/10

as a very closeted transmasc enby, getting the hopeful ending first gave me a lot of hope :]

(1 edit)

As a trangender male I really enjoyed this game even in i'm female to male instead of male to female this game still made me cry happy tears. Thank you! <3

I also really related to the troubles Haru explains she has and had :)

Somehow such a scenario never came to mind. Thanks for enlightening me with this well thought out story! It was a bit unintuitive to find some endings, but I trial and errored them.

im ship erika and haru <3

she just like me for real!

All joking aside, I approve of this short visual novel as an accurate portrayal of our struggles. I have trouble playing VNs because I get nervous whenever I have to make hard choices, but the three times I've played one through to the end, I haven't regretted it at all!
