It depends on how much free time you have, since it can be a little long. But it’s a great fun all in all. I wouldn’t say it’s a “play it ASAP”, but when you do, there’s no need to rush through it. Have fun playing it, the experience is quite a blast!

It’s a VN called Evenicle~

Me too.

Yea, it’s the name of the VN.

Sounds great, I’ll check it out! And try your method of reading while studying, too~

Rin’s story was great, man. I don’t remember much of it now, but I remember it was something special back when I played it (after Emi - since her and Rin were great friends and Emi was best girl for me, I was curious as to what Rin’s route would be like).

Thanks! I’ve heard great reviews of Majikoi’s comedic hijinks so it’s definitely on my “want to read” list even though it’s not something I’d usually pick up.

And yes, there’s definitely some benefit to even having a bit of baby Japanese. You start seeing patterns everywhere and recognizing words that you’ve learned before, and it feels good. It’s not perfect, but it’s encouraging and definitely helps boost one’s morale on their learning journey. For that reason alone, if the N5 exam cost isn’t too expensive for you, I’d recommend sitting for it and trying to pass it, if only to get an external assessment of your Japanese reading and listening capabilities.

(As I wrote on Reddit, I passed N5 with about 7 Cure Dolly videos (for grammar) and having done TheMoeWay N5 Anki deck. That’s all. What I love about Anki is that it works great on phones (I use AnkiDroid), so you can clear cards as you’re commuting or when you’re bored etc. TheMoeWay’s N5 and N4 decks are also built in an N+1 manner, meaning you’ll only ever see one word or phrase that is new. So that makes it much easier to learn, because you’re not seeing “uashdiu is the aoisdjasd of aisodoiasdoi”, you’re seeing “Red is the iasdokklm of blood” and you begin to learn “that word/phrase in the middle means ‘color’”. And the sentences use proper grammar, so even if you don’t watch videos on grammar or sit down to figure out the verb conjugations (which I’ve not yet done), you still implicitly pick up the basics of correct grammar and particle usage while learning vocab with the Anki cards.)

All the best on your language-learning journey too!

I’ve not heard of it before, surprisingly. (The only yotsuba I’m familiar with is 4chan, lol). Thanks for the rec!

Bingo bango bongo.

Since you’ve guessed correctly, here’s the source for those curious: 35155, pg. 27 (It’s old enough that it only has five digits.)

And the doujin’s surprisingly depressing. It’s about a hikikomori that struggled to integrate back to society (and has some random dude taking advantage of her depressed state for sex, that’s as much sex as there is in a h-doujin). A social worker/someone paid to help her also (it is implied) jumps alongside her int he end.

That scene above is probably what they saw as they were jumping to their deaths.

The last page bereft of any dialogue showing her cleaned room after her death hits similar to 177013 “looking into the cracked glass mirror” scene. Really felt like the artist said “screw the sex, I want to draw a good story about the struggles depressed hikis face in society and what their lives could end up like” and did an amazing job.

Judging by the comments, that scene left a huge impact on coomers that just went there to fap, too. It impressed me enough to make a meme about it, and here you are.
