The story is also very simple but extremely cute and I cant wait for the dlc/next game/update that was teased after the credits :D

Overall, I really recommend this game if you're looking for a Golden Idol-clone (gameplay and difficulty-wise) but just in a slice of life anime-setting.

There's a good sense of difficulty progression from one level to the next, and the characters are all so charming and heartfelt that it's lovely to see them as time progresses.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With an excellent 'manga' art style, it's a game very easy to recommend, specially if one is starting in the genre.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack takes a similarly comforting approach, with calming melodies that support reflection rather than heightening drama.
