i love this game oh my goodness htank you thank you thank you for making this crying screaming such an adorbale little game thnak you
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING GAME EVER IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE SOMONE UNDERSTANDS ME
At first I didn’t think I’d like this game because I thought it looked pretty boring. And then Akarsha came in. The fight between her and Min was the best part (to the people who’ve played this visual novel, don’t spoil ANYTHING) . I loved how each person had their own individual problems, and their own personality traits. Great game, definitely recommend.
i love this. thank you
this is the best visual novel i have ever played and i have been obsessed with it for like 4 years
This game is SO AMAZING
For the first few minutes of my gameplay, I was kind of bored with it. I decided to put it away for a while and come back, thank god I did cause I was laughing so much! I was really happy when Ace of Diamond and Ace Attorney were mentioned and gosh this game didn't have to be that relatable. My emotions shift from laughing my ass off to dying inside every time. I got so attached to Akarsha and young Min so much. I really loved this game! I was absolutely amazed when they started explaining about the Butterfly Soup, a great game cause the creator agrees that Ace Attorney is hella gay.
I love this game so much (:
i absolutely love this game. i relate 2 the characters, the writings amazing. 100/10. ill probably play this again.
i think my fav character has 2 bc diya, she reminds me a lot of my best friend. min is 2nd place fav tho
bye now
love this game it was the first game I ever downloaded off of itch.io it holds a special place in my heart
shit came out 5 years ago im STILL waiting on that sequel i fucking LOVE THIS GAME
I haven't even played the game yet, but the two screenshots showing the shaved ice plan made me laugh so hard I choked on my ramen. So, I decided I have to play now.
Update. I've played the game. I laughed and cooed the whole time. This had no right to make me feel so warm inside. TwT
An amazing game! As a half Indian non-binary sapphic, I felt so seen! I can't believe this game is free, it really is priceless. Happy Pride Month everyone!!
best 4 hours of my life
i loved this so much. it managed to capture that feeling not many games/VNs/stories do and i really apricate that, if you ever make another game ill be very excited to play :)
played this game for the first time over 4 years ago. now, after 4 years of hyperfixation, i bought the art book. did not disappoint. i could ramble on forever about how much this game means to me, but that's a lot for one comment. thank you so much, brianna. hope the 5 bucks treats u well.
just finished the game and istg I LOVE IT SO MUCH, i relate to akarsha the most huhu, but abt my sexuality more on diya! overall great visual novel!!
i loved this game, if u want some help for an italian translation i'll be so happy to help u
absolutely hilarious and so sweet oh my god
I'm like 2 hours in, and this is both making me laugh out loud and squeal like a preschool girl in excitement.
EDIT: Fucking brilliant.
Extremely funny. The writing is very good, everything feels so believable and relatable, while still being magical. Perfectly captures the torture that is growing up, while also brightly shining as the paradise it simultaneously is.
It's incredible how much was achieved with all four main characters. I especially loved all their interactions with each other - they're all friends in very different ways.
It's extremely rare I find something to be so endlessly hilarious, while still being heartwarming and wholesome all the way through.
I genuinely can't mention a section I felt bored or didn't enjoy - impossibly well-rounded on all fronts.
Fucking bravo.
Please make more games.
i second all of this, any other games with this incredible level of writing, music, comedy, would be a gift :)
i just finished htis please this is so fun i love it its funny its sad its enjoyable its relatable its everything - a lesbian, and an asian
I LOVE THEIR PERSONALITY I LOVE HOW NOELLE TYPES W CORRECTION AND CAPS LOCK THING I LOVE HOW MIN ALWAYS DO TYPOS

I LOVE THIS GAME-- AKARSHA IS HILARIOUS AND THE CHARACTERS R SO FUN 💞💓❤️🔥💖
this game is really amazing, but why does it say 3-4 hours long i only played for 2 hours :(
sounds like you read fast!
3-4 hours? Took me around 8.
you read really fast omg- it took me around 4 hours to finish
Soooo cute and fun. Loved every second.
i just started today and im only at the first baseball meeting and this is the best. this is the best. im overwhelmed, in a good way. ive been yelling in my room every time anything new happens. 10/10, 5 stars. perfect. immaculate.. im in love.
//SPOILERS// chryssa said "chryssa-tal clear" and im in love with her. I love the dynamic her and liz have. i love the trouble causing duo of akarsha and min. noelle?? the whole hating ehta you cant have??? very interesting. im loosing my mind. Akarsha is so funny. I was a lot like min when i was a kid (angry and overly violent). This is a perfect game so far. <3

I remember playing this so many years ago back in like 2017/18 and I remember it was the first and only game to ever make me cry, like full on sob at the ending. This game is the cutest game ever and I will forever, even now, look on at it so fondly with such happiness cause of all the relatable and wholesome characters and moments. We're all just Butterfly Soup <3
i just cant believe how cute this is. all the characters are just so relatable, I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH I DONT EVEN HAVE WORDS FOR IT!!!!!! <3333333
<3333333
You must be kidding. I loved that game so much. I was so sad when it ended.
This is one the best games I think have ever played it is so good and so incredibly fucking funny. It has a good balance of being funny and serious. It is perfection and I will die on that ship screaming these exact words.
