The story is generally viewed as simple and clichéd, revolving around a gym setting and character relationships, which some find enjoyable despite its brevity. While the narrative offers a light-hearted experience, many reviewers note its lack of depth and content, making it less compelling for those seeking a more engaging plot. Overall, it is considered a decent but unremarkable story that may not justify its price.
“Those games allow you to just have a good time and enjoy the story without having to focus too much or think too hard about what choice is the correct one.”
“The story is short, but rather enjoyable.”
“Lovely story too with a few clichés sprinkled in.”
“The story is basically all about 'we should work out in this newly opened gym where we met some girl we know from somewhere before' and then something will happen - deepening the relationship.”
“Wasn't bad, but if you are going to waste 10 euros on an eroge, this isn't the one that is worth it. It has a very short story in my opinion, many times it's uninteresting too, and another fact that really stinks is the lack of content.”
“The story is short and dull, based on some clichéd anime tropes, without any explicit scenes.”

The graphics are noted for their melodramatic tone, enhancing the experience of the faceless male protagonist in this standalone sakura one-shot. The visuals, particularly in the patched version, are considered above average, with h-scenes that maintain a tasteful approach rather than being overtly explicit.

The monetization strategy is perceived as a quick cash grab, lacking effort and genuine care for the player experience.
“Seems to be a quick cash grab, made without effort or love.”
“The monetization system feels exploitative, pushing players to spend money to enjoy basic features.”
“It's frustrating that essential content is locked behind paywalls, making the game feel incomplete without additional purchases.”
