Futamata Ren'ai: Two Times the Trouble

A really good story with lots of comedic elements along with routes for the side characters as well. The characters are interesting and likeable, with good arts and sprites. I would recommend giving this game a try.

This is a maybe. Unlike other Moege, this is a soap opera, filled to the brim with drama. In fact, this is the most drama heavy Moege I have read.... nevermind, scratch that, that title belongs to Muv-Luv Extra. It is about broken people attempting broken relationships, with 1 blonde exception. Which is where all the chaos comes from (not the blonde, but the brokenness of people) However, the main characters are adults in college, which is nice and not that common in moege. The relationships... "seem" more realistic, grounded and intimate relationship statuses change, it is actually pretty dynamic throughout the common route, with all the heroines. The loli route... IS NOT THERE! THANK GOD!!! .... Not even in fan discs, or extras! If you like drama, chaos and broken people coming together, this is for you. If not and you are looking for the usual Moege goodness, there is one blonde heroine that is worth it, stop playing afterwards... no really, stop, I didn't and regret it. It wasn't worth it afterwards. But even getting to blondie, is quite a pain and so is her route, because of the protagonist, but not Café Stella levels of pain. On the flip side, an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ protagonist is …

I usually really dislike ASa Project games, they're usually all about humor and just setting up some dumb joke. Futamata Ren'ai is unironically a really interesting exploration of messy love triangles in your college days, if a bit campy at points. It is the first time I've played one of their story's common routes to completion and came away thinking this story was actually pretty alright and I want to see how it concludes. At this time, I have not read a single route to completion, but I think the music, art, and quite surprisingly, the writing too, have all been wonderful, and while I have doubts that the stories will actually conclude in a satisfying manner, I think it is a cut above the average ASa Project game and it's definitely worth checking out, even if you are like me and don't like love triangles. Edit: After finishing all of the routes, unfortunately once the love is won each route kinda reverts into typical ASa Project writing. Which is a huge bummer, because they have such a phenomenal soundtrack (I Want to See the Ocean...), but every ending is essentially an easy comedic ending with hardly any drama from then on. Still, the common route is good. I have some issues…

RuiRui is so peak😭🙏

Good romance visual novel that highlights the strong points of AsaProject's writing, creating a strong chemistry between the MC with each girl so that every banter is not boring as we can clearly see the play-fighting undertone to a lot of it. There is a route where I hoped that one part of the conflict was wrapped up more conclusively though. RuiRui = Yua > Kirame > Myako.
