About The Language of Love



After his mother gets into an accident, Tanimura Mitsuki has to put his life and education on hold. He lives with his parents in the sleepy countryside for five years, helping them run their humble family business — while the rest of his friends leave home, and leave him behind.

When Mitsuki finally leaves the nest, he’s twenty-three years old, and woefully behind with his studies. If he wants to get accepted into university, he’ll need to re-learn everything he was taught during high school, and then some.
Mitsuki moves to Tokyo to attend a rigorous cram school, with the hopes of passing his university entrance exams next spring. He soon finds, however, that his other classmates treat him like a social outcast, being the oldest at his school by far. It proves impossible to make friends, and Mitsuki consigns himself to an isolated, lonely existence...
That is, until he meets the single mother, Himuro Kyouko, who just-so-happens to live in the same apartment complex as him.
Mitsuki offers to help Kyouko babysit her daughter, Tama. Kyouko, in turn, helps Mitsuki study for his upcoming exams. Over the course of a year, the two bond — first, as friends, and then as something more

- Around 80,000 words of text (approx 5-6 hours of reading)
- Detailed background and character art
- A custom OST
- 1080p display
- Daily messages from Kyouko, the story’s heroine
- A kinetic story with no choices or branches
- A cute single mother!

✦ AI summary

The Language of Love is a straightforward visual novel about an adult romance with a single mother, praised by players for its wholesome storytelling, well-developed characters, and refreshing take on love that avoids the typical "perfect teenagers" trope. However, critics note the writing suffers from repetition and excessive dialogue fillers like "that's right," the protagonist's affection for the daughter feels unconvincing, and the narrative abruptly ends after its climax, leaving the relationship's longevity unclear.

A short story with mediocre and repetitive writing. It would be much better if mentioned more of the challenges Mitsuki and Kyouko face and how they deal with their relationships with others (Ayako, Tama with Keiichi, Kyouko’s family, and even Kirara), could also have some more writing on Miho or even the raffle girl. I understand that they’ve been together for quite a while (~a year?), but I didn’t feel like the writing was sufficient to make me believe their bonds are strong enough to stay for long, instead of yet another love tragedy yet to be revealed to us readers.

It was good, I enjoyed my time with it. There were some parts where I didn't mesh 100% with the story. I am chalking it up to my own personal preference on what I think someone would do/say. But I'm not an author and I'm not going to be overly negative because it's not the way I would write (if I did). It's nice to see a story that's not two perfect pure teenagers falling in love for the first time and etc etc.

Quick and straight forward. No choices just a story of love between 2 adults, and the mother's daughter.

Overall it was pleasantly wholesome with some sweet (and steamy) moments, but it's not one of ebi-hime's stronger works. An absurd amount of dialogue consists of "that's right", and the protagonist's affection for his love interest's insufferable daughter wasn't convincing (thanks for reminding me why I don't like children, I guess). And right after the climax (in more ways than one) it abruptly ends, and it's just... that's it, guess we're done now. Writing aside: some of the song choices rubbed me the wrong way, and hearing a loud BLUNK! every time I wanted to save or go back rudely snapped me out of the story. And if a new CG comes up, you will not be able to back up to the text that was onscreen before. Speaking of CGs, they were unobjectionable for the most part, but there were some inconsistencies - for one, the final scene is set in January when it's cold and the sky is "steely grey", yet the accompanying image shows a beautiful blue sky, green leaves on a tree in the background, and what appear to be cherry blossom petals (?????) floating on the breeze. Also, [spoiler]breasts do not point straight up like that when the person they belong to is lying down[/spoiler]. Last…

Me ha sorprendido para bien. Es una Novela Visual con una historia simple, pero bien contado, con unos personajes adorables y bien construidos. Aunque pueda parecer la típica historia de amor (y en buena parte lo es), el hecho de que la mujer sea madre soltera lo cambia todo. Una niña que no es la típica niña perfecta, sino que causa los problemas típicos de una niña. La madre que está siempre pensando que la gente le está juzgando y con miedo de no ser una buena madre. Y el protagonista, tímido e inseguro pero de muy buen corazón. Es una Novela Visual sin elecciones, es como leer un libro. Afortunadamente no hay mucho Fan Service. Muy recomendable si quieres leer una historia de amor bien construida.
