Cute story and characters. Not a lot of variation based on choices though. Some dialogue also implies a girl MC, even though we can pick he/him pronouns. I have mixed feelings about this game overall.

This game is so awesome, good, have nice character and the background is so beautiful!!! When I was on chapter 8 I was screaming from happinessΨ(≧ω≦)Ψ. I know you work really hard for this game and I support you. I hope they are more moments that you spent time with one of the boys. I hope you continue this game 🥰

The fact you can pick your gender and the characters actually acknowledge it is a big step up for otome games. I've played other otome where you can pick your gender but it's not acknowledged they avoid using pronouns because they can't be bothered changing the dialog.

Im super pleased with this game. Spend the whole night playing it, im obsessed! I'd love it more if it has a skip or save system, so it'd be easier to see different choices. Overall really love the game!

Good stuff i like how the story progresses i only need to figure out some gameplay stuff and i want to know if i can save in the mid game because sometimes the chapter takes a lot of time to finish. All in all i am loving it for now.

The game was enjoyable, a few mistakes. But not being able to skip was a downfall imo. I love reading, but not the same thing with minor differences over and over. Hopefully, they make another game and listen to the reviews, they definitely would have my money again 😊

This game is adorable. Well worth the purchase price! The stories are very well written and leave you feeling immersed. The boys all have their different personalities that really make them unique and their avatars are cute :). The only critique I would make is to have an "Auto" and "Skip" button.

I really enjoy this game. The plot really interesting and i've been replaying countless time but it will be nice if you put skip button for us to skip if we want to play the game like to try another route. Oh i hope you can create another game like this but a different story like sport academic or something.

Very cute game, love how MC can be M/M G/M. Art is beautiful, sound is great and the 4.99 is totally worth it! Entertaining and wholesome and has lots ot details and story to go through!! Just wish there were more save slots so you can explore more stories without having to erase data and a skip option!

This is better than expected, the graphics is good and the boys are cute and likable, Leo is my personal favorite. Love the shokugeki no soma-ish story. I don't have much complain other than the game not feeling very smooth and not compatible with wider screen(but that's okay). Will be waiting for more chapters, really worth the money!

I like it so far! Really nice art and music. Although, I've noticed a few bugs it still works pretty well. I will say that I can only access Chapter 2 on Slot 2 for some reason? Edit: Glitch is fixed! The game works great and I can't wait for new chapters!

I'm enjoying the story so far but one thing that's kinda dampening my enjoyment is it feels so sluggish when you tap. I wish there was some kind of little sound, that could be optional. And i dunno, make the time between taping and the reaction less slow if possible. It may seem like a dumb critism, but since that's the extent of interaction in this type of game, it feels kinda important. Edit: with all the Leo love here, i felt it necessary to say my fave so far is sweet veggie boy Jamie :P

First, let's talk about mechanics: I really wish you can put save/load & auto/skip function for the reasons stated in many other reviews. Second, the story: it's great actually, but I'm sorry for being a sore critique, bc 1.) it feels like the characters lost their voices somewhere along the plot, 2.) I know this is a visual novel rather than choice-based game, but the MC's existence feels unmatter with how Jamie's route progress, and 3.) It's written canonically for female MC.

The game play is amazing and I love the different speeds. The progress between each character is perfect. It's not rushed out and is relatable, funny and hits you in the feels. This is a mobile otome I highly recommend and hope it gets noticed by more as it deserves a lot.

A pretty enjoyable game, if you can get past the lack of QoL features. The art is beautiful and it's a lighthearted and generally fun story. However, replayability drops to zero for me without any kind of skip or auto features (I'm prone to hand pain with tapping!). The common route is pretty long in comparison to the romance section of the story, and the difference in romance level was surprisingly large...I would have liked a few more flirt moments during the first several chapters :)

I love this game so much and it's worth the price! I really like how it introduced me to different food/cooking related stuff too like beetroot chocolate cake which I didn't even know is a thing. All of the characters were great too and I was really immersed in the story! I wish there were more than 2 save slots as I'd love to play the other routes without having to delete the ones I've played! Plus a skip/fast forward button would be great too. Thank you for creating such a great game!

I would really like to finish the game but it's definitely a struggle without a skip function. Having to set through the same dialogue for a 3rd time is frustrating. Also I would've liked if the game had pictures of the actual food the characters cooked in the game. For a game that's based around cooking the lack of food CGs was surprising

One of the most well-done and *true* otome games out there. Incredibly pleased and wish there were a million more like it, that's how great it is. The characters - the LIs and side characters are all wonderfully charming and endearing, even the ones I don't care for. The story is developed and original. And it's just so good. Go play.

This is a fun game, I dont have much experience in playing visual novel games or otome games. But the characters are wonderful and well developed. The story made sense for the most part with all choices overall I loved how sweet it is. Music is a bit repetitive. I've had a blast playing this game and look forward to more from Nochi Studio. One quick note - found a bug the delete data for the game will only delete the first slot, not the 2nd.

A wholesome and romantic read! I'd like to see more from this developer. Why 4/5: Music could be better, I eventually turned it off. I played 3 of the 4 available routes. Lack of skip function or ability to go back and make a different selection ended up feeling frustrating. I am male and having the option to reflect my gender was a massive reason I bought this game and want to support it. However, there are still a few slip-ups and awkward typos when it comes to pronouns.
