The story of the game is described as charming and engaging, featuring a cliche plot centered around ninjas in a school setting, with characters that fit familiar anime archetypes. While many players appreciate the character development and emotional investment as the story progresses, the heavy reliance on a ticket-based system for accessing content has drawn criticism, as it often requires players to spend money or wait long periods to continue. Overall, the narrative is enjoyable but hampered by monetization mechanics that can detract from the experience.
- “Admittedly, the story is very cliche, with every character fitting into a familiar anime archetype, but as the story progresses, the writers and artists do an amazing job in making the player feel invested in the story and to care for the characters.”
- “Moe ninja girls features an entertaining story with fun likeable characters that will keep you coming back.”
- “I really am enjoying this game far more now because the story is very interesting and well written as it can be sad at times and funny at others, and the characters in this game are all ones you can invest time in and really want to do the best for.”
- “You cannot progress through the main story without these tickets, and the only way to obtain them is through giving your money to buy the premium currency to buy tickets, a bundle with tickets included (which is usually very little), or you can use up to 5 'free' tickets which recharge at the rate of 1 every 2 hours.”
- “I still love the characters and story, but all the barriers to read it have all but killed my interest in playing this.”
- “Every event feels like it's required to spend chunks of cash just to complete a story.”

- “The real gameplay is every 5-6 episodes they offer you a choice to boost your love relationship with one of the two girls.”
