It's not the worst, but if you are coming from SAGA PLANETS' iconic Kinkoi, be careful with your expectations. I'd say almost every aspect of this title is inferior unless a character or the atmosphere specifically clicks with you. It took me a good bit of time to finish this title; I was never disappointed by a route, but none of them left me with a sense motivation or excitement to start a new one. Hibiki was probably the highlight for me because of her "genki childhood friend" character type and the chemistry she develops with the main character during her route. I persevered the more dull moments because of the hope of the Kikka route, with my expectations fairly high because of how Kinkoi handled its final route. It's probably twice as good as any of the other routes, but it also just feels like something you could get much more concisely in a KEY game (sort of a compliment I suppose). The way Kinkoi funneled little moments across the game that culminated in huge, touching reveals in the true/final route was much superior, while this feels less like a grand culmination of the game and more like a convenient way to pull off a few emotional moments that also happen to wrap up the theme of the story better than the routes before it. Anyways, I am torn because if I could go back in time and talk to myself about this game, I would probably say to just skip it, but at the same time, it wasn't that bad. There are just many other moege that basically do the same thing but better. So basically, if you are already on this page and finding the characters, art, and/or description attractive, go for it, but I would never find myself actively recommending it to someone otherwise.

I mean it's pretty good but some routes are too boring for me true ending bring me to tears Hibiki route is comedy+romance others routes are too boring to read I rate it 7-8 in my opinion.

Kikka story caught me by surprise, it made me cry a bit. Very emotional and text can't properly express the experience. Game's very good. 8/10 for me, maybe 7.5. Diverse romance cast and a bit funny game, a fun ride. Game is mostly what you would expect from these kind of VNs. Nothing too special. Though Kikka had a surprisingly emotional story. Ritsu is my personal favorite character, but i also like the Kuudere, and Riri is so hot and caring, and you might like Hibiki for her cheerfulness or the sporty Kaido. You might like some routes more than others, maybe you want to speedrun one and thats fine. Though overall the game is what you would expect, and that's fine because that's what we're here for. Note, please get the patch, game is pure mid without it

Kakenuke is basically the equivalent of a run of the mill seasonal romcom anime. It's really not got anything special going for it, but there's nothing wrong with it either. If you go into this just casually looking for a comfy way to pass the time, it's got fun characters and all the tropes tropes you could ask for. Just don't expect anything more, because it isn't trying to be that.
