I sometimes get really violent thoughts of kashou getting crushed by a cargo ship

A fun, slice of life game that has an entertaining cast of characters and a reasonable story to boot.

I'll admit, when I first started playing this series, I wasn't expecting to take it all that seriously. It's that classic wacky catgirl sex game series, I'm sure it'll be a laugh. Three (and a half) volumes in, and I'm willing to admit I've genuinely grown attached.

So far, this is probably the best volume, and it actually caught me off guard. Following the theme established, this one focuses on Maple and Cinnamon, the last couple catgirls who haven't fallen madly inlove with Kashou. Now, I had been indifferent towards Maple, but was very much not fond of Cinnamon's character based on her appearances in the earlier volumes. While I'd still argue she's probably my least favorite of the bunch, getting to know her story and personality beyond the surface has removed my negativity towards her.

The story in this one ramps up the stakes, if only a little, beyond the first few as well. Maple's story isn't just about internal growth and falling in love, it's about chasing a dream, a dream of becoming a musician, and of overcoming her insecurity both in her abilities and as being seen as "just another catgirl". This leads to more of my personal favorite part of the series; the dripfeeding of information regarding the status of catgirls in the greater world beyond the bubble. While I won't go into much detail, the topics of catgirl identity crisises and anti-catgirl racism are present.

Maybe I'm crazy, but these games have just a great vibe. With or without sex scenes, it makes no difference. It's hard not to feel relaxed with the antics of La Soleil.
