The story in these visual novels is characterized by emotional depth and relatable themes, particularly around youth and personal growth. While Kikka's route stands out for its emotional impact, Seishun Sparking offers a charming narrative with a tear-jerking finale, though some players may find it less compelling compared to other titles from the same developer. Overall, the storytelling is engaging, with a mix of comedy, slice-of-life, and romance, though some plot holes and a lack of drama may detract from the experience for certain players.
- “Kikka's story caught me by surprise; it made me cry a bit.”
- “Seishun Sparking was an enjoyable story about youth combined with a tear-jerking finale, making the experience even more memorable.”
- “I really felt for her as a character, and her overall story really shined the brightest.”
- “Tbh, the story aside from the true end felt underwhelming compared to Kinkoi, another game made by Saga Planet; however, Seishun Sparking is still a charming game and I adore its core theme which was portrayed consistently in all routes about living your life without regret because…YOLO!!!”
- “It's hard to explain, but there were several times throughout the story where some events that happen in the game are instantly over through a time skip, and we only learn what happens in scenes afterwards where a character briefly summarizes what happens.”
- “Storywise, there is no real drama or action in this visual novel, and it really sticks with its comedy/slice of life/romance setting at all times.”

Character development in the game is praised for its depth and progression, particularly through the introduction of multiple personality traits and a gradual reveal of the characters' backgrounds. Reviewers noted that certain routes, like Nagiko's, effectively enhance character growth while allowing the main character to take on a supportive role, providing a refreshing change in dynamics.
- “Not only was she given more than one personality trait, but I loved how they introduced more about her throughout the route and even built up on her character as a whole rather than just giving her character development and calling it a day like with the others.”
- “Nagiko's route I enjoyed quite a bit as it provided her some needed character development and showed the main character as more of a support character, which was a nice change of pace.”
