Starts off with ATRI vibes but distinguishes itself after that. Unrequited romance, supernatural mysteries, great voice acting, characters, soundtrack and art. Yes yes yes

This VN is really good, really REALLY loved the ending of the main story. ginka my beloved The extra story, in my opinion, was not the most well written story I have read though. I like the idea, but the execution was lacking.

A nice VN if you had finished ATRI -My Dear Moments- and then wanna play another VN that has similar vibes with much more choices. Ginka is a story rich VN which heavily focusing on romance. It has a quite complex story with some plot twists. There are also a lot of fighting scenes to make the story more engaging. If you liked the Atri VN, you should like this too!

OK, this was a really good VN, probably a solid 8/10. I will have to say it's not perfect though. It took me about 15 hours to get a full playthrough. This is one of the few VNs I actually wanted to take my time and read all of the text. Don't expect any adult content, this is a childhood longing that carries into being grownups, and that is absolutely fine. The art is fantastic, the music is ... ok. There is a lot of supernatural things that happen, and plenty of twists even after the "main twist." There's a lot to unpack in the story. There is one "true route," 2 bad ends, and 1 end that's bittersweet, and probably should have been the true ending. The "after story" is surprisingly long, and is where the bulk of the story really is. I think it was a bit convoluted and could have been trimmed down a bit. Don't get me wrong, it's a good story, but it kind of runs out of steam towards the end. If you get the true end, make sure you click "extra" again to get the true, true end One real gripe I have is the CG library only has the absolute minimum number of characters in it. I know Ginka is the story, but where's the pictures of Rin, Sensei, and the others?? If you are trying to learn Japanese, you can have both English and Japanese subtitles on the screen at the same time. Also, the interface is top notch, with plenty of save slots and customization options. No flow chart though, so save at the choices. Shout out to the best cat around.

Just finish read this takes 10 hours+ I gotta say ( this still can't beat ATRI ) but it is still good read and unique in it's own way. The plot twist is good tho or maybe like too many twist? Sometimes idk like where are we again? The artwork amazing! The music i must say- it's not really memorable but there's some piece that makes my heart feels.. it fit n time really well. but overall it is good read- i love Ginka. Special mention to Best Cat at supermarket-
