This game quite surprise me a lot with the political stuffs because when I read "School Election" from the synopsis, I thought of an average anime about election (A show like "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" which I'm just finished watching before I started this game) and it's all like ground level stuffs, but this VN takes the concept and applies real life democracy system to a fucking high school in which somehow does everything functionally (and maybe more competent than some real states), but after all this game doesn't really breaks itself from being partially moege with more politically intense scenario than most anime with the same plot out there. 8/10

Love, Elections, and Chocolate Is a game where a student council has power on par with a small government All in all good read even if it does go off the rails a bit, though the translation could use some work

tldr;; I'd recommend this to most visual novel readers looking for a bit of a different take on the moege format, with more comedy and very light to no drama upfront slowly transitioning into more drama and very little to no comedy at the end. Overall it's a very good but flawed read that may not be for everyone. Read on for details. Love, Elections, & Chocolate (Koichoco) does a lot right, but it also does some things wrong. It has some likeable characters, good music, nice production values, and a well done localization that reads well to an English native. It's also a bit of a messy visual novel, which not everyone will like. Koichoco has, for better or worse, a central heroine - Chisato. Chisato is a classic tsundere whose tsun rating is pretty darn high, and she is extra jealous. This bleeds into routes that aren't her own, so you can count on her making her presence known in other heroine's routes to a decent amount. I personally didn't find this to be too bad, but I could see it upsetting some readers who are more used to the other heroines "backing off" after you get on someone's route. Past her you have some straightforward characters, the onee-san, the teasing girl, the mysterious silent one, and the overly nice hardworking type. None of them are too unexpected and they each have their positives and negatives, but I don't really consider any of them standouts in any sense. The story is where this visual novel both excels and is a bit disappointing. First, it excels because it's willing to tackle some issues not discussed often in moege - discrimination / bullying, corruption, and murder to name a few. At the same point the stories end quickly enough that it can feel like they are not adequately explored, or truly answered at all. I both liked and hated that decision, as it shows how messy real life is that we don't always get clear cut answers, and not everything is wrapped up cleanly. However, this is a story for enjoyment, and many readers - myself included - appreciate some definitive endings. This is the largest reason why I'm a bit torn on Koichoco. What is there is very good, but I can't help but wish for what was clearly thought about but isn't there. Last few things: it's been ported to Unity using the same UI as Aokana, which has caused some changes but I think it is a net positive, especially given the skip function is now extremely quick. It has a good number of CGs, sprite variations, and an internal upscaler to 4k - although assets are 1080p I believe. Music is good, and there are 6 ending songs, the 5 heroine's voice actors all sing their own which I always appreciate being done by sprite. There's a total of 15 H-scenes present and in my opinion they are average for the genre, but maybe a bit better than Aokana's. If you're here solely for the "plot" then there's probably better options out there. Koichoco ultimately ends up as a good read to me, but one that could have been much more with either a bit of extra expanding on some of these story bits.

honestly, koichoco just hits you different in a weird way, there's this sense of... i don't know, satisfaction..? its hard to describe this feeling till you experience it yourself. it's definitely one of the VN i'd recommend
