We always laugh that adult games seems to have to be high schoolers being naughty. Laughing

Being the sole male, through whatever means, is pretty common in these games.

The game is set in an academy that is a cloistered "orchard" for boys to be educated and cultivated away from external influences. Five boys spend their lives within these walls in repentance and atonement. Yuki Kazami has just enrolled as the sole female student there.
Much more opportunities that way. Laughing

I'm looking forward to this since the art looks pretty good and it has a pretty high rating on something that hasn't been translated yet. I'll most likely read the Visual Novel when it finishes its translation (its currently at around 82%) because I doubt the anime will be able to fully cover the story since its a 50+ hour game. Also the summary on VNDB is longer and goes more into what the game is about (http://vndb.org/v5154).

Why yes yes it is if you completely ignore the fact that the story is very different in pretty much every way.

That is literally the most mind-blowing daft plot I have seen in a while. Wow.

They're not even trying with this shit anymore.

I've always heard this is a good VN (its translation is supposed to be done sometime this year), so glad to see its gotten an anime. Hopefully I can finish the VN before this airs though.

From the rate they seem to be going with the translation it should be done this summer sometime. Which I doubt we shall see the anime until like fall at the earliest.

I've also heard that this is a good VN and I quite like the artwork. The synopsis on VNDB sounds much more interesting than the one in the article.

I may give this a shot. Maybe. I'll wait for PVs and if I'm not turned off, I'll give it a few episodes.

So is it ever actually explained WHY he transfers into a school explicitly for girls or does the just assume that you're only playing it to jack off and gloss over that fact entirely?


It's a Hentai "f*ck em all" game; what did you expect? The more time spent on attempting to legitimately justify such an implausible scenario is less time for the male lead to seduce and bang the five pretty young women. Even if a reason was given as to why he transfers, it would just be one of those braindead contrivances typical of the genre.

You guys are making some pretty big assumptions based on something you've never watched or read.

First of all, the fact that it has h content is usually irrelevant to the overall story of visual novels anyway. I've read quite a few visual novels with h-scenes and they didn't detract from the story at all.

Looking at the description on vndb, it actually sounds like it has the potential to be quite interesting. It has high ratings and the tags also add some interest.
