To be honest, Parasol is one of those companies I have extremely mixed feelings about.  Roughly half of the games I've played from them, i dropped before finishing out of frustration or boredom.  This company is primarily a charage maker, so this probably won't surprise a lot of the people who read this blog, lol. 

That said, this game was a surprisingly good one, wiping away the foul taste left over from Hoshi Koi.  It also told me that I'd judged Hoshi Koi about as fairly as I ever do with that type of VN, since this one really is a straight-out charage.

The protagonist of this story is a young painter named Shou who is threatened with losing his scholarship due to his failure to paint... because he has gotten obsessed with making anime figures.  Shou is a pretty cheerful and open guy, though he shares the annoying quality of extreme density (denser than lead) when it comes to romantic issues.  He is an artist at heart, and it shows in his reactions to the heroines and how he deals with their problems (each of the paths follows a pattern of him resolving the heroines' issues then resolving his own). 

True to charage form, the ichaicha in this one is pretty heavy-handed.  Honestly, it fell just within the reach of my ability to tolerate dating, sex, and lover's issues in a story.  This VN doesn't fall back on the shitty trope of the 'meaningless ichaicha date' that cripples so many moege/charage, so in that sense I can praise the writer honestly and without reserve.

Don't expect any deviation from charage forms though.  This VN isn't attempting to tell a story that transcends the characters.  However, if you ask me if that is a problem, my answer would be no.  While this isn't my favorite type of VN, it definitely served its purpose of helping me recover after the trauma of Hoshi Koi.
