First, I should say that I have no taste for loli-shota whatsoever, so I'm going to drop this now that I've finished one of the paths and gotten a feel for what this VN is like.  So... this turned out to actually be a loli-shota game, despite my hopes otherwise.  I have no idea of what Akabeisoft is thinking, turning its main child brand into a sub-brand that produces random games, but I can honestly say that I wish they would stick to one or two genres...

Now, this is one VN that has no business being localized outside of Japan.  I say this because all the characters are blatantly underage until after the climax (after-story I saw so far was decent).  They even refer to themselves as kids and they are immature right down to the voices.  As such, I very much wanted to drop this VN inside the prologue.  However, I'd promised I'd finish this one, if only to see if they would escape that... and they didn't.

Now, I'll say that the idea for the story, in itself, is not awful.  This kind of 'Home Alone' style setup is pretty amusing, and if this were an all-ages title, I might have been able to sit back and enjoy it.  However, the inclusion of h-content was a huge downer in this case, at least for me... 

The characters all have their problems with adults, ranging from Orino's insanely controlling parents to the teachers' betrayal of Sen.  For that matter, the protagonist has his own abusive environment to deal with.  As a result, you end up with a bunch of characters who have unified around defiance of the adults in their lives by fortifying a run down love hotel, which was funny in and of itself.

Is this game amusing and interesting?  Yes?  Is it something I'd recommend?  Not in its current form. 

Update: To be clear, I didn't drop this because it was boring... I just happen to have a distaste for shota-loli focused content...  In addition, considering things just from the plot and setting, this game really is interesting.  Unfortunately, its possibilities are stunted by only focusing on the characters during that one period of their lives, when it would have been more interesting to see how their personalities evolved as they became adults...  To be blunt, the writer went for a loli-shota thing when he could have actually made a first-rate VN story, just based on his writing and the way he presents the characters and setting.  Another option he could have chosen would be to go for the all-ages route, where he would have been able to tell the characters' stories in more detail (the hints he drops about the male characters' problems are tantalizing) while discarding the hindrance of h-content (no, I'm not a prude... I just think straight-out loli-shota is distasteful).
