Been reading Ayakashi Gohan recently
I knew it was pretty highly rated going in but I didn't really expect to enjoy it as much as I have been. The production values are amazing, great art, soundtrack and voice acting. I haven't finished a route yet but people who dislike very sweet, only happyendings-type stories probably won't like it much but I'd still say don't knock it out of your books just yet. I'm not a big fan of those kinds of saccharine stories either but I'm really digging it. Didn't realise I needed a nice comfy pickmeup and this game fits the bill perfectly
I like how Rin is both voiced and has a personality of her own. I started with the human chapters first and was really pleasantly surprised by her character development and how natural it felt. There is also a nice ensemble cast and not too much romance pigeonholing until you get into one of the boy's route proper, which I enjoy. I know some anons probably like romance from the getgo but it can feel pretty forced and unnatural sometimes to me and I prefer long common routes with a focus on friendship
I cried/teared up during Sagiri and Kei chapters. Yes I'm a huge sap, I know
