The story is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its heartwarming slice-of-life elements and well-executed love triangles, while others find it confusing and shallow, particularly criticizing the disjointed narrative structure and character focus. Although the game offers engaging side stories, the main plot is often deemed lackluster and not impactful, leading to a recommendation primarily for fans of light yuri content. Overall, the storytelling can be entertaining but may leave players feeling lost due to its episodic format and timeline inconsistencies.
“The story is heartwarming and completely slice-of-life, and there's nothing overly tragic or sad about it, in case you don't like such developments.”

“A story about a cute, lively, and sometimes a bit silly and noisy first-year student who pursues her beloved senior, who is good at tailoring and is an incurable lover of cute things.”
“The way the storyline fits together, though, doesn't communicate this very well for quite some time; I was honestly confused as all heck whether I was reading three entirely different timelines or what was going on.”
“But the story is just so boring and shallow.”
“This ends up making the game story feel messy because both couple episodes show up in the same calendar, but they’re not happening in the same timeline per se, so it felt like there were three different dimensions available in the same calendar.”
