Saya no Uta Review

Truth be told, I was very surprised about this game mechanics. It has been a while since I have played a rather short visual novel, but even its short length does not make it a bad work.

Kira Kira Review

Kira Kira revolves around Maejima Shikanosuke, a third year high school student who currently does not know what to do with his life after he graduates.

Since I have already seen the anime before playing the visual novel, I would have already expected what was going to occur through each route, but it was still a decent play as I am reminded once again why I love a particular girl in the series.
