Perhaps if I played the sequel I might get more involved, but this is my initial thoughts on it. Maybe I’ve been reading too many horridly sad action based otome game, but this never elicited any deep emotion from me. The story doesn’t really stick out with me really. Seriously, that epilogue story got me into a giggle fit something fierce. They get understandably upset when they find out that ‘Rei’ has taken no such oath and takes up a lot of her time. As the name implies, it was something the guys put in place so that they would not ‘monopolize’ their time with the MC. At the end of the main route you hear about the Anti-Monopoly law they have in place, and you hear about it some more in the Epilogue. Poor Takeshi doesn’t know what to do with himself at first. After all these years of pining for her, they lose out to the feminine guy. You can’t really be timid all the time running around with that bunch.
It’s kind of a relief to see her get mad. MC is usually pretty mild mannered, but she is kinda aggressive in Reiji’s route. It’s also very adult in some points and very childish at others. Which you will realize is a theme pretty early on with him. It’s an aggressive, but considerate love. His real personality slowly begins to reveal itself the more you read, especially in the epilogue. The relationship that forms between them is pretty cute, and it even seems that Reiji starts falling for the MC about as early as she starts falling for him. He was also a real heartthrob when he was a teen too! That illusion is rather quickly shattered. (The song “ I’m Too Sexy” comes to mind a lot throughout this route) This is the personality that the MC gets to know at first and is misguided into thinking he’s more of a ‘big sister’ type rather than a man. He created the persona ‘Rei’ to fend off the thralls of women who fell for him. It becomes very apparent that there is more to meets the eye to his obviously flamboyant behavior.
I know this seems lazy, but there aren’t any pictures with him by himself okay! T_T
Not gonna lie, when I first read Rei’s first chapter, whenever he spoke I imagined it in a southern bell accent.
