Stuff I love about this game:

The stories: the stories of most games like these are usually... Not bad, per se, but they’re often just cute girls doing cute things. But Bandori’s stories are interesting and have so much character development. Like, Sayo went from being standoffish to Hina to actually being able to hang out with her. Misaki went from being “meh” about HHW to actually enjoying band activities. Like??? Whoever’s writing the stories are doing such a good job and deserves a raise.

The characters: like I said before, the character development is great. While I do have some characters that I’m “eh” about, all of them are unique and well-defined, not just two-dimensional with a fixed trope.

The cards: I think we can all agree that most, if not all of the cards are amazing. The quality is always consistent, the bodies are proportional, and very few of them are fanservice-y, which I can appreciate. I also like how the cards depict scenes from event stories, it’s super cute.

2D live outfits: while there are some outfits that I don’t particularly like, I appreciate the effort that goes into them. I was also really happy that they added the 2* outfits <3

Character relationship: this kinda goes hand-in-hand with the character development part, but I really love how all of the characters gradually get to know each other and become friends. It’s super adorable to see them just hanging out with each other.
