This game is truly one of a kind. Given that rom coms have saturated all forms of media, Making Lovers has everything you can expect, from balls to the walls writing, ungodly amounts of self-awareness, and more importantly, a premise that makes for a promising, unique romance anime adaptation. There are a total of 5 girls in this game and after reading through other steam reviews, I'm surprised how there's a girl for everyone out there, you can see people discuss who best girl in the community hub and that just shows how different they are from one another. In terms of basic descriptions, you have the mature, caring weather lady; quirky, awkward gamer girl; hardworking model who just wants to relax and vent; doting brocon step sister who has surprisingly good chemistry with the MC and everyone's favorite- Karen, grounded yet lovely flower lady who always gets back up on her feet despite her circumstances. Like I said, there's a girl for everyone and the overwhelmingly positive reviews can attest this. Karen's route alone should be adapted into an anime. Romances between two mature, working adults,are rare. As I grow older, I find myself getting tired of the high school romance trope, because I have simply outgrown the target demographic. Their relationship is not only based on believable circumstances that adults face, but is also mutually supportive and for a lack of a better word, magical. Karen, due to unexpected circumstances, finds herself caught in transition between jobs and was homeless for a while. That was when Kazumi noticed her wearing the same pair of broken heels and carrying the same suitcase after a while. Realizing that she wasn't really going on an overseas business trip like she claimed, he offers her his bed and never once belittles Karen or mocks her situation. He remains respectful throughout their supposedly temporary cohabitation arrangement, while stubbornly sticking to his principles of not letting his fellow college classmate go homeless. Karen, the equally stubborn and self-respecting woman that she is, also never exploits Kazumi's kindness, she makes concrete plans on when to move out as soon as her first florist paycheck arrives. She never once pities herself or complains about how hard her situation is as a woman, she is independent yet returns the same respect that Kazumi has shown. Yet despite having mutual respect, they bicker all the damn time and it's very satisfying to read. Their chemistry works so well throughout the entire route and you'd wonder why they didn't get together sooner and that's what elevates this route up there. Karen's route highlights one of the most realistic stages in one's life: graduating into adulthood. In of one of their heart-to-heart discussions, Karen laments how she was a bit infuriated by Kazumi's laidbackness towards his own future when they first met in college. Despite studying the same degree, they had vastly different ideas of their futures and she admitted to looking down on Kazumi for his simpleminded laziness. However, upon graduating and landing her first job, Karen realized how unflattering society can be towards fresh grads. Reality is often disappointing and her self-viewed superiority ultimately left her scammed by a roommate and rendered helpless when faced with eviction. You don't just have these conversations with people you don't view as close, nor do you have these moments as a young high schooler (at least I hope not). The moments where you look back and realize how trivial our insecurities were compared to the actual real shit that we're all dealing with, day by day. Sharing these intimate thoughts with a romantic partner in a respectful exchange, is all the reason why I love this route. I also love how only Karen route is given a mini-arc where she has pour her soul into a flower arrangement competition. Not only is it her passion as a design major, but it once again presents as an opportunity for Karen to prove herself. Despite him not into competitions, Kazumi remains supportive and understanding how much it meant to her. The best part is how Karen was able to win because of how her loving relationship with Kazumi has inspired her work and ultimately gave her a W. These two, by being in a wholesome relationship, have not just won a goddamn flower arrangement competition, but my heart as well.

Making Lovers is more mature than I thought it'd be while still retaining the whimsicality of SMEE I came to know from Fureraba. If you've been wanting a slice of life with a "more adulty" cast of characters and setting, this is for you*. Karen's route showcases one of the best couple dynamics I've ever seen (in VNs), so bonus points there. * While true, this is made by SMEE, so there is a LOT of whack mixed in.

My 2nd Visual novel. Story wise - 10/10 each route gives you a fresh and unique experience and you will really get into it before you even know. Art style - 10/10 The r18 uncensored is a friggin bonus. Love it a lot. But the style in general is really good, it captures each waifu's essence of character with the art style. Gameplay time - 10/10 For me personally I like the novel long because I always think a short one would be a waste of money. I could probably finish this game faster but I went and enjoyed every music, every scene, every art style, and immersed myself in the story which took me some 63 hrs of gaming time. I'd say its worth it! Dialogues and Translations - 10/10 Im a fluent Japanese speaker, and I can tell the translation is pretty well done. The message of the lines and the story is well delivered for each route which makes it really well done. OVERALL - 10/10 - After playing this, you will realize how lonely your life is if you are single - You will realize how much ur missing out with ur partner if you are in a relationship - The r18 is really well done love the style - You will definitely love all 5 of them waifus once you go through each route. - If I would rank them based on my favorite here it is 1. Saki 2. Karen 3. Ako 4. Reina 5. Mashiro This is my personal opinion also because I love them mature women so Saki is the best girl for me. Also has the best route imo but thats all on me. Overall I'd highly recommend this game even if you're someone new to visual novels. 1000/10 recommended!!

Haven't gotten through all the routes yet but I like the unique structure of this visual novel and the more college/adult life approach it takes

I like how unhingedly* crass the writing is; it's usually funny, and, failing that, quite entertaining. For the romanecable characters overall, I would've preferred if they they were weirder; some of them are a bit too normal for me. Still some nice stuff in there, though.
