Character development is rated 8/10, with notable time skips that impact depth but still deliver a solid experience. The "little sister" character starts off weaker compared to others but shows significant growth towards the end, while the side characters are praised for their strong presence and appeal. Overall, the character design and expressions are described as very cute, enhancing the overall experience.
- “Character development: 8/10 (it is pretty short so there are a fair bit of time skips, otherwise it is pretty good. The 'little sister' is a decent heroine, but is weaker than the two other counterparts and some other heroines in other visual novels I have played. She gets better in the last 20 minutes as she evolves from a standard to a pretty amazing heroine. The side characters are amazing throughout though.)”
- “Very cute character design and expression.”
