The story of "Koikari" is characterized by its straightforward and comedic narrative, focusing on the protagonist's humorous interactions with various heroines while navigating themes of obsession and family responsibility. While the game effectively balances comedy and romance, some players feel that the character routes lack depth and that the excessive inclusion of adult content detracts from the overall storytelling. Overall, it offers an entertaining experience with charming characters, though it may not satisfy those seeking a more profound or dramatic plot.
“Thanks to its inherently simple story structure, Koikari does a great job evenly distributing screen time for each heroine, providing readers ample time to acquaint themselves with the characters while maintaining a fresh and consistent narrative.”
“The visual art is amazing, the story is quite interesting, and also the perfect mix of comedy and romance.”
“All in all, the main character is funny as hell and most of the girls have pretty enjoyable personalities (Emi and Tsubaki best girls) and the story isn't bad at all.”
“Still, it is unfortunate that I found the storytelling in the character routes to be inherently worse when compared to the common route.”
“To make matters worse, the game does a poor job in retaining character presence of the other cast members throughout, making them even less involved with the story.”
“The love triangle plot wasn’t resolved completely, which left a pretty sour taste since the author tried too hard to implement drama inside a comedic-focused story.”
