Overall wonderful job, and I'm happy to share a positive review anywhere else it may help so that others get to enjoy this work too.About This Game I’m your host Kat, and this is Find Love or Die Trying! It actually felt too like Kyouko's thoughts and actions reflected those of a real single mom with her Disney-happily-ever-after naivety shattered early on. Single parenting is incredibly common in the real world, especially the older you get, but it's largely ignored at least in this medium. I really appreciate the effort put into making a VN that differs from the usual tropes. I've spent more time than I'm willing to admit browsing VNDB trying to find romance-focused visual novels with characters/art that catch my attention that don't start with "our high school protagonist finds himself in abc setting with xyz/supernatural twist". That's not to say there aren't VNs that don't execute this amazingly (Fruit of Grisaia still contains my favorite romance story ever), but I think it takes an exceptionally creative writer to deliver a compelling story about a serious scenario like this. It felt like there was a lot of attention to detail too with small character animations, sound effects, and miscellaneous environmental effects (like the lightning). Had several laughs, the romance had fabulous pacing, the music is great and fitting, and the art is beautiful and super well done. I would for sure buy that as well and read it with such passion Here’s to hoping for an anime adaptation! And you should definitely consider trying to write stuff similar to this, it’s super different and fresh! Maybe even consider a sequel one day, post-exams and relationships. And also to see the characters animated and conversations with each other - since they’re so perfectly drawn! Doesn't even have to be a long anime, could just be 7-15 episodes and I’d watch it. Idc if it’s going to be the worst or best anime ever, but I would die to watch this thing with voice actors and some more insight to the things that happen in between everything. I am not lying when I say that if I had the money, I would pay an anime studio to animate this story for a slice-of-life. The art, music, story, dialogue/monologue was so beautifully nuanced and made to perfection, that I wish I could erase my memory and read it all over again, just so I could experience the feeling of reading it again! The anticipation and build-up to the inevitable kiss and then relationship, was so awesome! Really puts you into the shoes of Mitsuki and how he feels about Kyouko, Tama, his family and everyone around him. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was such a fucking fantastic read.Ībsolutely loved the story. A kinetic story with no choices or branches.Daily messages from Kyouko, the story’s heroine.Around 80,000 words of text (approx 5-6 hours of reading).Story by ebi-hime, author of Sweetest Monster and Blackberry Honey. Over the course of a year, the two bond - first, as friends, and then as something more. Kyouko, in turn, helps Mitsuki study for his upcoming exams. Mitsuki offers to help Kyouko babysit her daughter, Tama. That is, until he meets the single mother, Himuro Kyouko, who just-so-happens to live in the same apartment complex as him. It proves impossible to make friends, and Mitsuki consigns himself to an isolated, lonely existence. He soon finds, however, that his other classmates treat him like a social outcast, being the oldest at his school by far. Mitsuki moves to Tokyo to attend a rigorous cram school, with the hopes of passing his university entrance exams next spring. If he wants to get accepted into university, he’ll need to re-learn everything he was taught during high school, and then some. When Mitsuki finally leaves the nest, he’s twenty-three years old, and woefully behind with his studies. He lives with his parents in the sleepy countryside for five years, helping them run their humble family business - while the rest of his friends leave home, and leave him behind. After his mother gets into an accident, Tanimura Mitsuki has to put his life and education on hold.
