About This Game


In this Visual Novel Yokoyama Naoya is a decidedly ordinary guy, but that wasn't always the case. Back in high school, he was something of a delinquent. He bleached his hair, drank on the streets, and regularly got into fights with gangs.

Naoya is older now, and wiser, and he has outgrown his rebellious phase. He's determined to get his life back on the straight and narrow - but, owing to large lapses in his schooling, was unable to get into the university of his choice.

Naoya puts his further education on hold and moves in with his childhood friend, Ichigo. While Ichigo attends university, Naoya takes up a job at a local café, hoping to contribute to the household expenses and cultivate his work ethic.

This café is located by the beach, and is owned by a mischievous woman called Miss Miyamori. She takes a liking to Naoya, and hands him on a job on the spot.

Naoya's newfound job leads him to interacting with two pretty waitresses with problems of their own, Mayuki and Kuu.

Naoya grows close to these two girls, and develops a friendship with them...

But trouble is brewing on the horizon, which threatens the cozy new life Naoya has built for himself, and his relationships with Ichigo, Kuu, and Mayuki.


Suzuki Ichigo is Naoya's childhood friend. Their families are close friends, and the pair have known one another since they were little kids. They were once so close, Naoya's mother often joked about them getting married.

Naoya and Ichigo were briefly estranged during high school, during Naoya's rebellious phase, but now they are just as close as they ever were.

Ichigo is boisterous and energetic, but she's very good at cooking. Other domestic chores, however, are outside her scope, and her scatterbrained nature leads her to misplacing things on a constant basis.

She's a huge fan of idols, and her bedroom is full of idol-related paraphernalia.


Shinonome Mayuki is a waitress who works at Miss Miyamori's beachside café. Stern and haughty, she demands nothing but perfection from others. She scolds Naoya for his each and every mishap during his first week on the job, and seems constantly in a bad mood.

Mayuki has a soft side, though, and is easily flustered when complimented. She is not immune to making mistakes herself, and drops things when she gets embarrassed, to her chagrin.

Mayuki is particularly fond of cats, which she seems to hold in higher esteem than she does other people.


Yamashiro Kuina, known to her friends as Kuu, works with Mayuki at Miss Miyamori's beachside café. She is an enigmatic girl of few words, who is rarely seen without her favorite pack of tarot cards.

Kuu is an ardent believer in the spirit world, and when she does speak, she often talks about ghosts and ghouls. She claims that she can see into the future, but her predictions are always on the dour side.

Kuu's face is often expressionless, her voice monotonous, which makes her incredibly hard to read. What, exactly, lies behind her impenetrable exterior?

This is only PART ONE of who knows how many parts. I know there are some VNs that are multi-part that indicate they are such, but there was no indication of this when I purchased this VN, and invested the time into playing it, only to be met with a "to be continued" type screen at a cliffhanger. I would go as far as saying this was only an introduction to the main story.

I cant bang the milf In all seriousness, this feels like a typical winged cloud "game." Stereotypical tropes, a chad to self insert as, and a feeling of being ripped off. Don't let my time fool you, this game can be done in less than an hour if you're a quick reader. I just needed to take breaks to do something I found more interesting, while leaving the game running. The patch also leaves a lot to be desired. No dialogue changes other than bonus scenes, which feel extremely shoehorned in. A single mid game scene with no setup in the sfw game and a post route scene for each character that shows up after a wipe transition. You go from sfw confession to YOUR DICK IS SO BIG dirty talk that makes me hard as melted butter. [strike]At least i assume they have one for each character, but for some reason the patch I downloaded from the official source accidentally made one of the characters inaccessible by making the only choice in the game (tsundere, weird, childhood friend, or AlL tHrEe) on...

Another of those visual novels that people love, hate, or love to hate, Would you like to run an idol cafe? is by Winged Cloud, authors of the Sakura series. In this one, you meet three young ladies that could help you run your new cafe... maybe, all of them, actually. And since you get to know these young beauties... feelings for one or all might bloom... Suggest getting on discount or in the bundle (maybe both). While decent enough, it is a bit short.

Short-rushed-bland-boring-unbelievable. Kuu? was a mildly interesting character (until she broke the 4th wall) predicting how the game would end. I want my time back.

one of Winged Clouds overall new entries and gotta say that i really did enjoy it but hey, u know how these things go: it's all up to your personal preference. although, personally for me (on this game alone) the story & choices seem a little 'one way route' and by that i mean the only difference of the routes at the end game is which girl you date or all. also, the dialogue with Kuu at the end about the content patch was pretty cringe (please don't do that again) but overall, these things didn't detract me from overall enjoyin' the game and recommending it. lastly, to the people that like to talk shit bout VN games or Winged Cloud's quality, i ask u this: 'can u make anything better and if so, shut up and show us then'.
