The story of the game is engaging and meaningful, with well-developed characters and appealing art, though it tends to slow down in the second volume and sometimes prioritizes fan service over plot coherence. While some players appreciate the depth and twists in character backstories, others feel that the narrative can drag and that the focus on fan service detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the story is seen as a secondary aspect, with many players enjoying it more as a complement to the fan service rather than the main draw.
“Good story, likable characters, great art/graphics.”
“The art is nice and cute, the story is meaningful and somehow deep.”
“Corona Blossom returns with vol.2 further developing the story, adding more twists and telling us more about the characters' backgrounds in a really amazing way.”
“The story focuses more on the individual supporting characters as the main character takes a backseat for much of the last two volumes, killing off much of what was built up in the first volume.”
“Personally, I'm concerned about those fan-service parts in volume 2 which do not fit well with the story.”
“If you are buying this game for the story, you kind of get some of it but not a whole lot.”

The music in the game is highly recommended, especially when purchased as part of a bundle that includes the third volume, as it features the soundtrack DLC essential for enhancing the experience, particularly given the game's cliffhanger ending.
“The music in the game feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“While the soundtrack has some good moments, overall it doesn't match the intensity of the gameplay.”
“The background music often feels out of place and doesn't enhance the gaming experience.”
