Recently finished Supreme Candy. Reminded me a lot of Chaos;Child with some of its plot-elements. A bit too much actually.

Anyway, the characters are probably its biggest strength. Comedy is pretty good as well. I also really liked the way the story started and I suppose the underlying backstory isn't half bad either.
However, most of the other drama and "plot" is pretty bad. First of all it all comes super sudden without warning and is overacted. So you get stuff like a super emotional ending that would fit as an ending to a 20hour story about a certain theme, but it was just a random story element pulled out of the ass 15 minutes ago you didn't even think would matter. Or a family moving away from Japan within 2 days without any planning beforehand.
Also a lot of drama was forced by random thugs. All of these scenes were cheap and useless aside of working as (way too long) plotdevices. Random thugs will never lead to interesting conflicts, I don't know why they were even written into such "long" scenes. Especially as a lot of them were really utterly pointless and were just for stressing a minor point that's usually forgotten right afterwards anyway.


Still, characters and character-interaction was mostly the highlight for me. Especially the final parts with Yuuri and Jako. So, pic related. Any more VN with ちんちくりん protags?
