Overall 5/5. The immediate sequel to Misaki's route. If you are reading this then chances are you are invested in Misaki, and this definitely delivers. Being a direct sequel, the build up is done and what we get is a story that has much better pacing, more high intensity FC matches, and a satisfying conclusion to Misaki's story. Story 5/5. Main theme is still competition but this time focusing on the "weight of winning". Story is about the challenges both Misaki and MC face together following the fall tournament. Add to that some dumb but charming slice of life stories, more screen time for side characters, and truly breathtaking moments that leave you in awe. Also devs finally remembered that MC is a "generational prodigy" and not a complete moron like the original. Characters 5/5. Very well written, together MC and Misaki struggle, grow, and overcome the new challenges that await them. The quality is top notch when you can predict and understand how FMC feels based on the situation. A little focus is als given on some of the side characters giving them so much more depth and personality. Presentation 5/5. Having greats visual is something a lot of games can achieve, but to set the tone, have the music, and to place the right picture to make the moment perfect is something that 99.9% of other games cant even dream about, but this game delivers in spades. A lot are recycled from the original, of the new scenes most are FC related, which really helps the immersion in FC matches. Adult Content 2/5. Skip it if this is what you're after. It's a few pictures with a lot of words. The idea with VNs like these is to get you invested heavily in the characters so that the adult scenes will feel heavy, didn't do it for me.

Not a bad VN, just a forgettable style-over-substance one that seems incredibly afraid of the player actually being able to interact with the character of their choice in this afterstory. If I wanted to watch some dude talk to their GF as a third wheel, I would go do that. These modern visual novels are more softcore NTR than actual VN's with a self insert protagonist.

Holy Mother of God, This is so good, I totally forgot this is an extra. This could have been an entire new VN on it's own. The visuals looks so god damn good and the is music is absolutely ear pleasing. This totally outshine the the original. And Misaki is the BEST GIRL, Fight Me.
