A rather mediocre raising sim. You make up a schedule, events happen, repeat until the end, and what kinda ending you get depends on the stats of the girl you've raised. It was kinda fun the first time because I haven't really played these raising sims, and making up schedule and shaping the character's stats and seeing them grow was decently enjoyable. However, the game has quite a lot of different endings, which should encourage replayability, right? Well, unfortunately it's a very slow game to get to the ending due to the amount of cutscenes and battle scenes. The battles even reuse clips from the anime, which is kinda neat, but you can't skip all of it, you have to mash the buttons to skip the text, which is still slow as, like I said, there are a lot of cutscenes to burn through, and as far as I can tell there's no fast forward feature, which is a huge problem. Also, some of the dialogue and events are pretty awkward.

Another problem that isn't actually the game's fault, but the translation for the DS version is pretty bad. It uses a lot of shortcuts and reductions to make the text actually fit, sometimes resulting in something awkward. Like the characters say "Yea" a lot, which doesn't feel right. Even then, there's still a lot of untranslated text, I had to make a diagram to remember what stat is what. Even then, it's not always clear what is what. I think I can tell that Kn is knowledge and Fg is fatigue. But what Itn supposed to mean? Intelligence? If that's the case, why is it not Int? Is Phermones for Pheromones? Why can't it be Pheromon? I'm sure that can fit. Cases like these are baffling.

Overall I don't really recommend this game, unless you're a hardcore fan of the anime. Even if the translation was better, ultimately the game has fundamental game design problems that sour multiple playthroughs, which for a game that seemingly encourages multiple playthroughs is pretty bad.
