I decided to play 'A Year of Springs' on a brain that was tired, bored and craved for some stimulation, anything really, just needed something that was different than what I was doing almost every day, and oh boy, am I glad I decided to play this VN because of my boredom! I had read the description before playing, so I kind of knew what I was getting into, and I was right, but not completely, and I am happy that I was not correct all the way, lemme explain in detail. 'A Year of Springs' is divided into three stories and a epilogue in the form of a VN. All the chapters in the game revolve around three characters, Haru, who is a transgender woman, Manami, her best friend from preschool, and Erika, who is Manami's friend from high school, but becomes close to Haru as she begins to spend time with her. All the three characters are in their late teens or the age of 20, or soon to be. The first chapter is from the POV of Haru, second is from Erika's and the third is from Manami's. All the chapters are connected to each other and have different endings, depending on the choices you make for the characters. I will only talk about the first chapter as I don't want to get into spoilers for the later ones. The first chapter starts with Manami inviting Haru to celebrate her 20th birthday in a hot springs inn. Such a cool thing for a friend to do, right? And it is an extremely cool and a awesome invitation for most people, but not Haru, she's far from happy to go to a hot spring with her best friend, why? Because Haru is a transgender woman and can't stand the thought of being seen and ridiculed by other people, especially in a hot spring of all places, something she had to deal with her whole life. If you do decide to go, what ensues is a heartwarming coming of age tale of trying to do your best to be comfortable in your own skin and face the world on your terms. It is best summarised by a conversation Erika has in private with Haru, I am paraphrasing here: ''There are people who don't fit in and never will. So it's better to stop caring and enjoy yourself''. The entire game for me is 10/10 from the beginning, till the very end. I managed to complete the game in just over 2 hours, but I didn't get all the endings, so theres replayability there for people who want to get more out of the VN. Not for me, as I want to end it on the finale I chose on my first try, which was beautiful until the end, and even beyond that! Like I said, I thought I knew what I was getting into, a vulnerable story with a deep, underlying meaning, and I was not wrong. What I was pleasantly surprised by, was the absolute warmth, hilarity, sensitivity and hope that the VN instilled in me. Like Haru said, ''...Maybe the world is kinder than I thought it was'' 💛

This is probably one of the best games for learning about how being Trans, and Aroace can effect someone. Although there are some things for being a Lesbian. This game handles everything so well, and showcases the more difficult parts and the discrimination that usually comes with being trans, but also shows that the world can be a super nice place too, and how supportive people can really be with all that stuff. Overall a really good game, and would reccomend to those who are a bit unknowledged on how that kind of stuff works. I actually played One Night, Hot Springs 6 years ago pretty much, and you know that story still makes me cry a lot, as I knew I was trans at a very young age, and it always made me feel isolated and scared of the world around me. And these stories capture it very well. I am now a very happy positive and bright transgirl, and I have a wonderful supportive wife now. 'v '

Sweet little game, definitely worth a couple of bucks. I wish there was good trans representation in media like this; and just overall more LGBTQ+ representation in general. I know there is a bunch more nowadays, but in 2025 it doesn't feel like things are getting better for us whenever you look at what's happening in the world. So finding something endearing like this, makes me feel happy :]

A really cute story about being LGBT and navigating the world as people who are shunned by society. Also Haru is literally me :3

I'm so glad I bought this game. It's cute, sensible and gives a good example of what's like growing up as a queer person. Totally worth it.
