Alright so I didn't expect to love Toshio as much as I did. I adore him, I really disliked him in the beginning because of how he was to Aya but he's definitely one of my favorites even though I've only played his route so far. overall very nice game!!
I cannot wait for the remake, I have put over 100 hours into this game. I fell in love with characters I didn't think possible (half of my playtime was just Toshio's route over and over) The game is beautiful, the way each story intertwines with each other. This is by far my favorite Otome game and I cannot wait to see what else you do with it.
I'm so happy that you liked the game this much and that you are looking forward for the remake as well, it means a lot for me♡ I'm a bit slow working on it these days, but fingers crossed I'll be able to release the demo/prologue around the end of next week. ✧✿Thank you again for the kind words, it really gives me motivation!✿✧
I am so grateful for everything you do. You are an inspiration. I cannot wait for the release!!! 2 weeks is really worth the wait. Gosh this is gonna sound odd but you're such an amazing game creator that i wanna be your friend and learn more about the person behind such creativity.
Nawww you're making me blush, I'm not sure I deserve all these compliments ! But don't get me wrong, it does make me super happy that you think this fondly of me, thank you ♥✿
i played this game 4 or 5 months ago (forgot to leave a review) and THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FREE GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED (though i'm still a beginner)!!
all of the routes are so detailed and enjoyable! i did not expect this game to be so good! at first, i just couldn't get into it because i did not know much about otome games; but the moment i got used to them, i returned and binge-played this game and after 3 or 4 days, finished the whole game! i'm now obsessed with route orders, but in the beginning, i decided to go blind...and played yuta's route first, then ikki's and after that, kenji's (surprisingly, i got sweet end in two of them) and then, i dropped this and picked this up 3 months later and couldn't remember most of the routes, so i replayed them route order-wise.
**SPOILERS AHEAD (and constant rambling too)**
ikki's route was SOO CUTEE!!! i did not expect him to have a sister and she was really adorable! now, let's talk about ikki. i love how ikki did not join toshio in bullying me and also told him to stop it (this is what attracted me to him, that's why i played his route when i was playing this game blindly) and the fact that he was so cheerful as a kid (along with toshio) breaks my heart T_T but at the end of his route, we can see that he tries to open up a bit more to the people around him and the cat ears are- *ahem* *ahem* i think i don't have to say anymore.
toshio's turn. first of all, when i first played this game, i HATED toshio; like man tf- and i was convinced that i would not like him EVER and decided to play his route LAST... but changed my mind when i turned a new leaf. his route was SO FREAKING SAD that i felt like stopping halfway and started apologizing to him (my parents wondered if i had some kind of mental illness)! overall, his route was pretty tear-jerking and my baby toshio deserves the world. also he was kinda yandere (that's one of the reasons why i love him sm)
yuta's route did not feel all that special to me (don't take my opinions seriously), but i still liked it because it showed a new world to the heroine! the writing was excellent and it was impossible to predict what was to come next. also, yuta was a pretty guy and i liked his straight forward, yet tsundere personality!
haru's route genuinely surprised me... i always wondered why there was haru's route, and not ichigo's! naturally, i thought that the heroine was a bi, and obv i was wrong. i really love tsunderes and this route was a morning tea for me (it was refreshing) and i love how this route was executed! it was also unpredictable and thought that the maths teacher was a pedo or smth and i'm glad i was wrong! btw, her mom was pretty chill and i liked her a lot. also, the kiss at the end of the route was the BEST!!
kenji's route was cute too, but if i had to compare it to ikki's, kenji's was cuter than 0.01% like, MAN I LOVE KENJI SM!!! his straight-worward side is good too, but i love his jealous side the most T_T !! overall, his route was very enjoyable and his dad was just- *fangirl noises* his eyepatch was one of the things that attracted me to him (yes, i'm into such things)
lastly, *drum rolls* my beloved RYU!!! who would've guessed that he was the student council president! his route was pretty depressing too, but the fact that it was so well-written makes me sob...like...*sniffle*...he did so much for his friends!! he truly cared for them, so much that he changed himself! he took anti-depressants everyday and became the most cheerful and mysterious character of the game. i actually thought that ichigo was foreshadowing his yandere personality, and that's what got me the most excited about the end! overall, his route was the best and lots of hearts from me for him <3
at last, i congratulate hazuki and ichigo of their coming together, and the most heartwarming part of this game was the fact that ikki's sister survived in all of the routes! also, the parallel universe concept (i don't know what to call it) of this game was one of the best things in the game! for example, the world of the game does not revolve around the heroine and the events actually occur in other routes (e.g. the thing about akane) and the game is ACTUALLY bittersweet, and not just rainbows and unicorns everywhere!
sincere love for this game <3 (though i don't think anyone read thus far)
I read your review from A to Z and it makes me so happy that you loved the game that much ! Thank you so so much for all the kind words, it really do means a lot for me and motivates me even more for the remake! Hopefully you'll like it too ♡
I loved every part of their routes, both sweet and friendship! i felt so sad that it finished but i am glad another one is in the making <3 (and to all the people thinking harus route was transphobic etc just..shush honestly you are very small minded. haru is not trans but rather using hiding as a girl to deal with issues. Just like how toshio smokes etc but tbh i really liked harus route) and in order i chose: (HARU-TOSHIO-IKKI-YUTA-KENJI-RYU) <3
Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot for me ♡ And I'm happy you loved the game this much and looking forward for Fuji:RE, I hope you'll enjoy it as well !✦
this game was really fun and i enjoyed it a lot buuut......
*spoilers below*
Haru's route was like??? reeally transphobic?? they're a trans girl who decided to go back to being a cis boy just because they think it'll make Aya like them more???? am i misunderstanding something?? cause that was wack.
Also, less of a big deal, but Ryu's route was such a disappointment tbh he was a more interesting character when he was hyper weirdo. most of the other characters are already pretty gloomy so he was a breath of fresh air...but then: surprise!! ..he's the gloomiest. :///
A good amount of people found Haru's route transphobic and I'm sincerely sorry for that. From what I understood from all the comments (mostly on steam) about how Haru's route was twisted, this is greatly due to the fact that my english was really poor at the time and that I failed to convey the message I had in mind, resulting to people thinking I voluntarily depicted Haru in a ill manner, which was obviously not my intention.
Right now I'm working on a remake where hopefully it will be more clear for everyone that Haru is a cis boy simply crossdressing as a response/self-protection because of his view of the world around him and isn't actually a trans person. I do feel really bad for the people who felt hurt or betrayed because of their expectations and my poor writing at the time, so I'll try my best to make it extra clear from the get go✦♡
personally i do think it would be really cool if Haru was a trans boy who is presenting as a girl because that's what's expected of him, but he's your character and you can write him however you want. BUT i am really glad to know that you didn't intend any transphobia and i think it's cool that you're remaking the game and rethinking Haru's route!!
and like i said, even if there were some things i didn't like, i ultimately still like this game a lot and i still played through every route lol!!
thx for the explanation and keep up the good work 👍👍
heya, is there a possibility that Fuji:RE could be a little more gender neutral? or if not, would there be a way for me to try and mod the og game for personal use?
Hello ~ Unfortunately, I am not planning on making Fuji:RE more gender neutral as Aya is one of my OCs with a set gender (as well as the other characters), personality, name, etc THOUGH feel free to mod the og game as you want, as long as it's purely for personal use and not promoting your version as the original. The game's files of the current game aren't locked so you can change whatever you want (still for personal use) and I'm planning to not lock the remake either so you'll be able to mod it too when it releases✿
P.S : You might already know this game, but have you tried the Our Life series from GBPatch ? This is an amazing and wholesome visual novel with a good amount of customization, so it might actually fit your taste and preferences better✦
I heard a while ago a Fujiwara 2 it's in development, with Ikki's sister as the main character..is that idea still ongoing? I have had a hyper-fixation on this game since about a year ago. I'm taking every crumb!! :3
Hello, sorry for the late answer ! Yes, the idea of Fujiwara Bittersweet is still a thing ~ It's on pause right now though, as I'm working on other projects (Fujiwara:REmake is one of those, I update sometimes on my twitter account and my discord server), but hopefully I'll be able to work on it sooner than later after I'm done ! Thank you again for loving the game this much, it really means a lot for me ♡ P.S : There is little crumbs of Fujiwara in my other game called "Hello Friend", if ever you are curious✦
I'm sorry, I would prefer a let's play with your commentary and opinions as I like to have feedback and reactions from the streamers/players, so if it's just the walkthrough without your voice over I'll have to decline ^^" But still, thank you for the offer !
I played all the routes (only sweet endings tho !!) and i loved them all so much, especially how u found out new things with every route that made all the characters even more fun and interesting. I played it in the order you suggested and i really do think thats the best way !! I actually dont think i have a favourite cuz theyre all so cute in their own way, i will definitely play the updated version when it comes out. All the love to u <33
Thank you for the kind words ! The fact that you like all the characters and that you are looking forward to the remake really means a lot to me💖 Slowly but surely working on it✨
AAAAHHHHHi love this game literally SO much!!(definitely one of my favorites)
It’s so heartfelt & cute! I’m looking forward to other projects & things you make in the future, so please keep making cool games!! :D
Thank you for the kind words !💖 Slowly but surely working on other projects on the side, so I hope you'll like them as well if ever you have the occasion to try them when released (^ w^)/✨
HARU'S ENDING?????? IH MY GOSH?? Haru is my first and only completed route right now and I am absolutely in love. The plot twist was definitely a surprise!! I'm still kind of confused, but now I can say for sure that I'm 100% not straight. Because I already fell for him when he was a girl... *sweats in pansexual* That was such a roller coaster of emotions.. especially the attempted kidnapping stuff, and the sexual abuse, etc. I really didn't expect that from a game with such cute visuals. Guess I was wrong, haha! However, it was a nice detail because it reminds you that life is not just sweets and sugar, and that things like that actually happen..
Yes, I'm sorry for the confusion...I promise I'll do my best to clear any misunderstanding in the remake ;-; But I'm happy you still liked the game and Haru's route nonetheless, thank you !💖
OMG!!! AHHH!!! I wasn't really expecting the plots of each character's stories to be like this! I expected it to be a typical high school romance with a hint of bittersweet, as the title suggested, but OMG! I wasn't expecting plots from them! I love every chapter, the art style, and the story. I thought for sure that Ikki's route would be the one that I loved, but after playing everyone's route, I had to love them all! But Toshio and Ryu's route is totally the one I was really impressed by, and my god, Toshio's end! I cried for that cutie boy, and I need to see him again for the remake! AHHH!
I'm happy you liked the game that much, thank you ! Haha yes, I had some people saying that they thought Ikki would be their fav then changed their mind after playing the other routes ~ And also yes, more love/more content for baby Toshi in the remake !💖 I also can't wait to work on the characters childhood arcs, as I'll be able to show more of them and their parents a few years prior ✨
omg toshios route im sobbing??? it feels so weird being finished with the game now, sorta like a break up lol (and im def not getting over it anytime soon) guess ill just have to replay it :P thanks so much for making this, i havent felt this immersed in an otome in a while
I'm happy to hear you loved the game this much, it means a lot for me ! Thank you💖 Also I'm currently (super slowly but surely) working on the remake ~ I still don't have any release date, but you might like it as well as I'll add more content like adding a bit more details to the routes + unlockable childhood arcs stories (^ w^)/✦
Eyo this shit beautiful, I love u for this. Feels like I'll be replaying this from time to time, I love everything abt this altho Toshios the only one I've finished, I'll get to the other ones. Heard you're gonna make a reamke, I'll be waitingggg, love this game wholeheartedly<3333
I'm happy you are enjoying the story so far and that you feel like replaying later ~ As for the remake, yup ! Progressing suuuuuper slowly, but surely (I post sneak peeks of it on my twitter from time to time) and I can't wait to be able to 100% invest my time on it ✦ Thank you again for the kind words and encouragement, it means a lot for me💖
Thank you, I'm happy you loved it ! 💖 And yes ! I'm planning of doing a second game, with Ikki's little sister as the MC (she'll be in her mid-20's) ~ The project isn't really in development yet as I'm planning of making a remake of the current game, so it might take a rather long time before its release x)
Haha I totally get what you mean xD "Unfortunately", the main cast and MC from Fujiwara 2 won't be the same so there will not be any jealousy scenes between Aya and the male leads (> w <) Hopefully you'll like it nonetheless💖
I found this game quite a while ago now, i remember playing Kenji's route and then just never picking it up again because i was so busy.
A couple months ago i remembered i hadn't finished all the routes, so i re-downloaded the game and played it all over again - including playing Kenji's route again.
I definitely have been obsessed with this game for a while now, i just somehow never got across to commenting?
[I was a tad sad that we didn't actually get a female love interest, however it didn't bother me or affect playing the game because i still love Haru to death.]
Thank you for playing and loving the game !💖 Yes...after a lot of feedback about Haru, I decided that I would make things more clear and said earlier in the game (also in Haru's profile) for the remake to avoid any misunderstanding. Hopefully I'll be able to make something more enjoyable this time for this route. I'll try my best at least✨ Thank you again for loving Haru nontheless, it means a lot for me !🌼✦
I have played this game so many times over and over again, and I have the biggest brainrot from this game, because the story, the charaters, it's all so incredibly compelling and amazing, and I thought I would hate Toshio, but no, I love him the most and his rout was my favourite, you did an honestly amazing job!!! And not only that, Yuta is strangely similar in both looks, personallity, and our lives are really similar
Thank you for loving the game this much ! I'm happy you ended up liking Toshio and relate to Yuta somehow ~ Thank you again for the kind words, it means a lot to me and motivates me to work on the remake 💖
I finished everything this version has to offer and I just wanted to say I absolutely loved Yuta's and Haru's route most; thank you for their existence <3. I'm looking forward to visiting them again in the updated version whenever that comes out ^^
Thank you for the kind words ! I'm glad you loved Yuta and Haru's routes and hope you will enjoy the new content/remake as much as you liked the current version of the game once it releases 💖✦
I played this a while ago and its my absolute favorite game of all time, I still think of it A LOT. its a great game and ive recommended it to lots of people so far, im really glad I came across this :)
I'm actually currently rewriting + redrawing the whole game (still no release date planned though) with more content + childhood arc and adulthood extra stories for each of the characters (^ O^)/ So Toshio will definitelly have a happy ending and get all the loves he deserves and didn't get from the current/previous version💖
oh thank god T-T .. toshio's my fav character and i love how the way he expresses his love towards aya is really unique in terms of otome characters!! so i hope you won't tone down his level of worship and "kinkiness" as ryu would say xD i really like how each character offers something unique to the player, even if it's not everyone's cup of tea.. i also really enjoyed kenji and haru!! it's clear you've put a LOT of effort into this and while playing it, i almost couldnt believe i was doing so for free!!
i also wanted to add that while a lot of ppl might misunderstand haru as being a trans person, i feel like i understand him and his experience w gender based on my own experience w trauma. i'm glad someone depicted a different kind of "gender confusion" that isn't actually gender-queerness and is actually a trauma response!
I'm glad then ;-; Though I hope Haru's route will be less confusing in the remake ! At least I'm trying my best rewriting it a bit better than the current version (will add more fluff too)✦
HI there, would you like me to translate your game into Esperanto for free? I'm just looking to help the Esperanto community out by getting some more games into the language.

The art style's so cute and I love the soundtrack! The time and effort the dev put into this game is clear. Thanks for the experience! ^^
This mean so much for me, thank you for these kind words♡
Alright so I didn't expect to love Toshio as much as I did. I adore him, I really disliked him in the beginning because of how he was to Aya but he's definitely one of my favorites even though I've only played his route so far. overall very nice game!!
I'm happy you like Toshio and the game so far !✿
I just left a long review for this game haha. Tysm for creating it <3 absolutely amazin
I cannot wait for the remake, I have put over 100 hours into this game. I fell in love with characters I didn't think possible (half of my playtime was just Toshio's route over and over) The game is beautiful, the way each story intertwines with each other.

Of course i dooooo!! say, do you have discord by chance?
Yes I have a discord ~
It's a bit "hidden", but you can access it by clicking Aya's chibi on the game's page ^^
i played this game 4 or 5 months ago (forgot to leave a review) and THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FREE GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED (though i'm still a beginner)!!
all of the routes are so detailed and enjoyable! i did not expect this game to be so good! at first, i just couldn't get into it because i did not know much about otome games; but the moment i got used to them, i returned and binge-played this game and after 3 or 4 days, finished the whole game! i'm now obsessed with route orders, but in the beginning, i decided to go blind...and played yuta's route first, then ikki's and after that, kenji's (surprisingly, i got sweet end in two of them) and then, i dropped this and picked this up 3 months later and couldn't remember most of the routes, so i replayed them route order-wise.
**SPOILERS AHEAD (and constant rambling too)**
ikki's route was SOO CUTEE!!! i did not expect him to have a sister and she was really adorable! now, let's talk about ikki. i love how ikki did not join toshio in bullying me and also told him to stop it (this is what attracted me to him, that's why i played his route when i was playing this game blindly) and the fact that he was so cheerful as a kid (along with toshio) breaks my heart T_T but at the end of his route, we can see that he tries to open up a bit more to the people around him and the cat ears are- *ahem* *ahem* i think i don't have to say anymore.

hi, can I upload on YouTube I give you full credit on your game.
By uploading, do you mean a let's play where you talk over, makes comments and saying your thoughts about the routes ?

I'm sorry, I would prefer a let's play with your commentary and opinions as I like to have feedback and reactions from the streamers/players, so if it's just the walkthrough without your voice over I'll have to decline ^^"
But still, thank you for the offer !
are there walkthroughs available for each ending?
Hello ~
Yes there is, but you'll find it on the Steam page (^ w^)/
Here is the link : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1509590/guides/

Warning: Spoilers for Haru's route! I think!-
HARU'S ENDING?????? IH MY GOSH?? Haru is my first and only completed route right now and I am absolutely in love. The plot twist was definitely a surprise!! I'm still kind of confused, but now I can say for sure that I'm 100% not straight. Because I already fell for him when he was a girl... *sweats in pansexual* That was such a roller coaster of emotions.. especially the attempted kidnapping stuff, and the sexual abuse, etc. I really didn't expect that from a game with such cute visuals. Guess I was wrong, haha! However, it was a nice detail because it reminds you that life is not just sweets and sugar, and that things like that actually happen..
Yes, I'm sorry for the confusion...I promise I'll do my best to clear any misunderstanding in the remake ;-;
But I'm happy you still liked the game and Haru's route nonetheless, thank you !💖
OMG!!! AHHH!!! I wasn't really expecting the plots of each character's stories to be like this! I expected it to be a typical high school romance with a hint of bittersweet, as the title suggested, but OMG! I wasn't expecting plots from them! I love every chapter, the art style, and the story. I thought for sure that Ikki's route would be the one that I loved, but after playing everyone's route, I had to love them all! But Toshio and Ryu's route is totally the one I was really impressed by, and my god, Toshio's end! I cried for that cutie boy, and I need to see him again for the remake! AHHH!
I'm happy you liked the game that much, thank you !
Haha yes, I had some people saying that they thought Ikki would be their fav then changed their mind after playing the other routes ~
And also yes, more love/more content for baby Toshi in the remake !💖
I also can't wait to work on the characters childhood arcs, as I'll be able to show more of them and their parents a few years prior ✨
Childhood arcs??!!! I did put bit and pieces of the story in Kenji and Ryu BUT IM SO SO EXCITED FOR THE REMAKE NOW!! AHHH GOOD LUCK <3 <3 <3
I found this game through a couple of friends, and it's absolutely amazing! Love your art style btw! <3
Thank you so much, I'm happy you loved both the game and my art style !💖
omg toshios route im sobbing??? it feels so weird being finished with the game now, sorta like a break up lol (and im def not getting over it anytime soon) guess ill just have to replay it :P thanks so much for making this, i havent felt this immersed in an otome in a while
I'm happy to hear you loved the game this much, it means a lot for me ! Thank you💖
Also I'm currently (super slowly but surely) working on the remake ~
I still don't have any release date, but you might like it as well as I'll add more content like adding a bit more details to the routes + unlockable childhood arcs stories (^ w^)/✦
Eyo this shit beautiful, I love u for this. Feels like I'll be replaying this from time to time, I love everything abt this altho Toshios the only one I've finished, I'll get to the other ones. Heard you're gonna make a reamke, I'll be waitingggg, love this game wholeheartedly<3333
I'm happy you are enjoying the story so far and that you feel like replaying later ~
As for the remake, yup ! Progressing suuuuuper slowly, but surely (I post sneak peeks of it on my twitter from time to time) and I can't wait to be able to 100% invest my time on it ✦
Thank you again for the kind words and encouragement, it means a lot for me💖
I RLLY LOVE THIS GAMEEE!!! its soo cuteeee also i heard that there would be a second game is that true (●'◡'●)
Thank you, I'm happy you loved it ! 💖
And yes ! I'm planning of doing a second game, with Ikki's little sister as the MC (she'll be in her mid-20's) ~
The project isn't really in development yet as I'm planning of making a remake of the current game, so it might take a rather long time before its release x)
Oooo ok I cant wait to see the remake I hope it comes out soon!
Haha I totally get what you mean xD
"Unfortunately", the main cast and MC from Fujiwara 2 won't be the same so there will not be any jealousy scenes between Aya and the male leads (> w <)
Hopefully you'll like it nonetheless💖
this is one of my comfort games, seriously. thank you for making this masterpiece <3
Thank you for the kind words ! And I'm so happy to hear you count it as one of your comfort games too 💖
Ryu’s route got me in feels so much
Happy it did 💖
I found this game quite a while ago now, i remember playing Kenji's route and then just never picking it up again because i was so busy.
A couple months ago i remembered i hadn't finished all the routes, so i re-downloaded the game and played it all over again - including playing Kenji's route again.
I definitely have been obsessed with this game for a while now, i just somehow never got across to commenting?
[I was a tad sad that we didn't actually get a female love interest, however it didn't bother me or affect playing the game because i still love Haru to death.]
Thank you for playing and loving the game !💖
Yes...after a lot of feedback about Haru, I decided that I would make things more clear and said earlier in the game (also in Haru's profile) for the remake to avoid any misunderstanding. Hopefully I'll be able to make something more enjoyable this time for this route. I'll try my best at least✨
Thank you again for loving Haru nontheless, it means a lot for me !🌼✦
I have played this game so many times over and over again, and I have the biggest brainrot from this game, because the story, the charaters, it's all so incredibly compelling and amazing, and I thought I would hate Toshio, but no, I love him the most and his rout was my favourite, you did an honestly amazing job!!! And not only that, Yuta is strangely similar in both looks, personallity, and our lives are really similar
Thank you for loving the game this much ! I'm happy you ended up liking Toshio and relate to Yuta somehow ~
Thank you again for the kind words, it means a lot to me and motivates me to work on the remake 💖
YOU'RE DOING A REMAKE?! THAT'S AMAZING, I LOOK FORWARD TO EVEN MORE AMAZING CONENT!!!
YOU'RE DOING AN AMAZING JOB, YOU GOT THIS!!!!
I finished everything this version has to offer and I just wanted to say I absolutely loved Yuta's and Haru's route most; thank you for their existence <3. I'm looking forward to visiting them again in the updated version whenever that comes out ^^
Thank you for the kind words ! I'm glad you loved Yuta and Haru's routes and hope you will enjoy the new content/remake as much as you liked the current version of the game once it releases 💖✦
I played this a while ago and its my absolute favorite game of all time, I still think of it A LOT. its a great game and ive recommended it to lots of people so far, im really glad I came across this :)
Thank you for the kind words ! I'm happy you liked the game this much and recommended it to people, it means a lot for me💖
Of course im super excited after reading that youre making more content for the game ahhhh omg
I hope you'll like it then ~
Though it might take some time to be released, so please bear with me being slow until the remake is out (> w <)/
of course im willing to wait years at this point ^w^
how dare u do that to me w toshio's ending ??? TwT ...... without an epilogue?????
I'm actually currently rewriting + redrawing the whole game (still no release date planned though) with more content + childhood arc and adulthood extra stories for each of the characters (^ O^)/
So Toshio will definitelly have a happy ending and get all the loves he deserves and didn't get from the current/previous version💖
oh thank god T-T .. toshio's my fav character and i love how the way he expresses his love towards aya is really unique in terms of otome characters!! so i hope you won't tone down his level of worship and "kinkiness" as ryu would say xD i really like how each character offers something unique to the player, even if it's not everyone's cup of tea.. i also really enjoyed kenji and haru!! it's clear you've put a LOT of effort into this and while playing it, i almost couldnt believe i was doing so for free!!
Thank you for the kind words ! I'm happy it shows that all the characters are dear to my heart, it means a lot for me💖✨
i also wanted to add that while a lot of ppl might misunderstand haru as being a trans person, i feel like i understand him and his experience w gender based on my own experience w trauma. i'm glad someone depicted a different kind of "gender confusion" that isn't actually gender-queerness and is actually a trauma response!
I'm glad then ;-;
Though I hope Haru's route will be less confusing in the remake ! At least I'm trying my best rewriting it a bit better than the current version (will add more fluff too)✦
HI there, would you like me to translate your game into Esperanto for free? I'm just looking to help the Esperanto community out by getting some more games into the language.
