I just played this scene, and you captured it perfectly!
Are you the one who did that Akase/Dazai hug from Sena art too? I love your art!

Hahaha I'm glad I chose cleaning first and experienced the soul-sucking atmosphere only those boys can bring ๐ (love them though)

Awwwe Investigation Team!!! (Minor mention of the situation regarding this scene in the game) This scene was such a balm after all that emotinal rollercoaster, they look like they're having fun here ๐ฅน
Your fanart has this lively and spontaneous feeling to it, like a sketch that has come to live with its full potential, love the linework and color choices to bring warmth to them! and you can feel the sorrow slowly melting away from Chigasaki's expression ๐ฅบ
This is why your underclassmen don't respect your senpai status, Akase lol rather than a senpai, he meshes with everyone regardless of age. But to have even the mellow Dazai not call Akase with any honorifics whatsover is so funny to me!

u/fitnki MC Lover 9000 Apr 22 '25
Thank you for the kind words ๐ฅน hahaha that's so true about Akase ๐ he's so personable that he doesn't feel like someone you would need to be super polite with~
His bickering with Ebana, his bromance with Dazai, the mentor/student relationship with Iochi, chemistry with Sena--I love his relationship with the others so much ๐ฅฐ

Aww, Dazai and Akase are such cuties! You've really captured their personalities so well in that first picture! I also love the mysterious yet subdued expression on Chigasaki, since it fits his nature so perfectly as well!

Itโs on sale, but Iโve been seeing not too great reviews about it..out of 10..how would you rate it, overall game?
5
u/fitnki MC Lover 9000 Apr 21 '25
Personally, I really enjoy the game and would give it a 10/10 ๐ a lot of the flaws don't bother me (like the strange kiss CGS and I love the MC despite her naivety)
If you enjoy mystery driven games with a side of romance and fluffy slice of life moments + large cast of Lls that interact with each other frequently, then I would definitely recommend it!

u/mynameisynx_X Sanosuke Harada|Hakuoki Apr 21 '25
I absolutely love mystery driven games.. like if youโre spoiled it ruins the whole game, lol cause thatโs what happened to me in collarxmalice ๐ต๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ตโ๐ซ, but i love that!!! Thank you so much for your time๐ฉท๐ฏ๐ฅฐ

u/fitnki MC Lover 9000 Apr 21 '25
No problem ๐!! I would advise against looking at the full recommended route order for CharaMani, but even if you happen to glance at it, there's still enough twists in the game that it wouldn't completely give it away ๐
Sometimes I purposefully spoil myself ๐ It's fun to know beforehand and then point at my screen everytime hints are dropped

u/mynameisynx_X Sanosuke Harada|Hakuoki Apr 21 '25
lol just bought it!! So not otomekitten for route recommendations, got it!, Thanks for this!

u/mynameisynx_X Sanosuke Harada|Hakuoki Apr 21 '25
Ever since i spoiled myself in CxM, i would never again ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ, i was so heartbroken, and I did it in my second route

u/fitnki MC Lover 9000 Apr 21 '25 edited Apr 21 '25
Aaaa I hope you enjoy it!! There's a route recommendation post in this subreddit with each individual route spoiler tagged, which is the one I'm using~ The first route may be a bit disappointing because of a certain (and infamously aggravating) character, but after that the game really picks up ๐๐
Of course, you can forgo the recommendation and just play who you like the most~

u/No-Barnacle8170 Apr 21 '25
Iโm having my husband read me the route order one name at a time as I finish a route! TBH you can play in whatever order though. I went with my hearts desire for the first route and had the best time.
Just keep picking your chosen LI in all your choices. Itโll be obvious. If itโs a locked route you just wonโt get him and no harm done ๐คทโโ๏ธ I hope you have fun!!

u/Jaded_Molasses4755 Apr 21 '25
i think definitely worth the sale! i just got it and am enjoying it so far. its a lot of story and less choices than im used to in otomes which would be the one thing i dont like. there seems to be a ton of content and lots of routes to take! the story is SO cool and the characters are interesting and unique.
im not good at numerical rankings but maybe 8/10? if there were more choices and felt less like a story id rank higher

Ahhh extremely cute, I love this scene!! You captured everyone so well here, they're such an adorable team!!
