>>1038983I dunno, I think the second mailed the story better.
That had a character arc that actually went somewhere. Keade may have been ruined in the process but she came out of her shell and grew some confidence. It was still very light but it at least went somewhere.
Something similar almost happened with Reo. She tried to become more friendly with her classmates but in the end they just said "Actually we like you just being with Mai and ignoring us so keep doing that" and everything went back to normal except that Reo and Mai got to get it on a bunch. Their relationship dynamic didn't even seem to change that much.
it's a shame because it had a lot of potential to, what with Reo's mom going away and Mai having to take care of her. There could have been an interesting little arc about Mai feeling she has to choose between her family and her lover. The set up was right there.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed all of them and for what are essentially porn games they have solid characters but the third seemed to drop the ball a bit for me.
Still, Mai...
