Story is below average, but I would say that the art and production is really what makes the Biman series so memorable for me. I don't particularly recommend this to anyone, but it's not a total waste of your time. Like the other Biman titles, this game uses a moderate amount of ornate prose to create evocative scenes. In a departure from previous games in the series, there aren’t many allusions to Japanese culture, like flower language or folklore – with the exception of a brief explanation about the Kojiki (Japanese Ancient Records).

Now that is the synopsis and this is a far cry from the other Biman games. This time, you get to see the roles of Natsuhiko and Renge quite clearly. As you couldn't really know who and what the characters really are outside of the kaleidoscope as they didn't have much screen time, Biman 5 shows it all in earnest. While the poems and literary references—which use an older form of Japanese—may be difficult for most readers to understand, I had fun looking them up. The quotes and poems appear frequently within the text, usually as transitions between scenes or during running dialogue. Here’s a Japanese version of Crime and Punishment for reference. Abe Yoshio – 取り返しのつかぬもの Hagiwara Sakutaro – 月に吠える Takamura Koutarou – 智恵子抄　あどけない話 Takamura Koutarou – 智恵子抄　あどけない話Intrigued by the mystery, the best-selling author and esteemed detective Sumeragi enlisted Fukami and his friends, declaring their intent to launch an investigation at the heart of the enigma – the private Sansara Academy. Throughout the narrative, you will encounter a range of complex and alluring characters, each with their own motivations and hidden depths. As you delve deeper into their stories, you will be faced with challenging dilemmas that test your own moral compass. The game challenges societal norms and explores the gray areas of morality, making you question the true nature of sin, punishment, and redemption. Several characters created by Hayao Miyazaki are considered icons of the bishōjo boom, particularly Clarisse from the film Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro (1979), Lana from the TV series Future Boy Conan (1978), and Nausicaä from his manga and film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984). [4] Another creator strongly associated with the boom was Rumiko Takahashi, whose character Lum from her manga Urusei Yatsura (1978–1987) gained immense popularity. [5] Cultural critic Hiroki Azuma identifies Lum as a key development in fan interaction and response to bishōjo characters: [6] The development of the bishōjo aesthetic in manga of the early 1980s marked a departure from previous realistic styles, and the emergence of the aesthetic of "cute eroticism" ( kawaii ero) and moe. Compared to other nukige, the Biman series tries to be more intellectual, so readers are presented with poetry, many literary and semi-fictional name drops, and quotes from famous works of literature. There’s also infodumps about Dostoyewsky and a small summary of the book itself as its mentioned during one of the literary club scenes.

It's sex scenes was very well drawn as well, with animated CGs being an icing on the cake. Unfortunately it doesn't exactly turns me on. I think it's the screaming that the Japanese seems to like so much. Don't get me wrong, it is very well voiced and there is no doubt a lot of effort went into it, it's just not my thing. I'm sure others enjoy it though (else it wouldn't be a thing). I'm quite impressed with the endurance of the protagonist, who is able to reach orgasm three or four times in a session. I suppose it makes the scenes more interesting? Today I have finished the first installation, and what an experience it was! To preface, this was one of my first visual novels, so I entered not exactly knowing what to expect. Biman series seems to have a reputation for really well made artwork and CGs, and I totally agree with it. Each character (there wasn't many though) was really well drawn, and beautifully voiced. It certainly deserve praise for the effort put into drawing and voicing them. To conclude I think the series is great and totally deserves praise for the content. I can't wait to finish the next installations and have no regrets buying the entire series on an impulse. In a realm where the horizon bled into oblivion, a solitary scientist, the last of his kind, dwelled within a tower.
