[i]How to Melt a Maiden's Heart[/i] is a non-explicit kinetic boys' love visual novel with an endearing story centered around the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, inspired by the manga / anime [i]Maid Sama![/i]. You step in the shoes of Reo, an 18 year-old high-school student who gets rejected by his childhood friend after finally confessing his feelings to her. Not long after, when Reo’s family decides to visit a maid cafe, he accidentally finds out that his strict, rule-abiding classmate and class president Sugawara is working there cross-dressed as a maid, largely against his will. At school, Sugawara is Reo’s arch-nemesis, who frequently scolds Reo for being late and neglecting his studies.

[i]How to Melt a Maiden's Heart[/i] is a kinetic rom-com visual novel centered around a late high-school protagonist grappling with his first romantic experiences. Given that he and his best friend of more than a decade have slowly been growing more distant, he sets himself a deadline of a few weeks to woo her. As she seems destined to view him as a friend only, he forcefully ropes in his mortal enemy, the school council president, to assist. Unexpected feelings arise, etc. With the main character's single parent family and various students and teachers, there are neither too few nor too many characters for the story to unfold. His two twin brothers in particular are used as great comedic reinforcers. One of them has a pet dinosaur plushie that is used to express his emotions, which works excellently. As this is a fairly undramatic enemies-to-lovers story without any attempts at shocking twists, be prepared for a VN that most of all wants you to smile. I definitely did. The setting is the same Japanese island Omorishima as [i]My Dear Prince[/i]. Attentive readers may spot references to fictional media from other ebi-hime works such as [i]All the Words She Wrote[/i] or [i]Shut-in …

yaoi

Honestly, I wouldn't go out of my way to give huge praises, but honestly, I'm glad I came across this VN. The build up between Yuuma and Reo was a give or take for me. I rooted from them since the start (to be fair, it is a BL VN so it is a no brainer), but I still do think that Reo's feelings towards him felt a bit rushed towards the end, even though they were hinted from the start. Overall, it was a cozy read, and I adore the sweet and fluffy Valentine's ending ^0^

Welp, the title got me. This yaoi VN did melt my poor maiden's heart !
