The whole thing with fetching Dad's soul from purgatory briefly just seemed kinda shoehorned in so the writers could say they utilized all their set pieces, like they were obligated to not abandon the supernatural element of their game if even for one route. The non-acceptance of the incestual relationship in Konami's route was refreshing and Konami is a lewd girl alright, but I didn't like how it was handled at all by Aoi. So there's some stuff I can discuss but not too much, y'know?

I watched someone stream through SakuSaku and caught pretty much the entirety of Konami and Tina's routes, plus most of Ann's. Also I really loved the second opening 'Distance'. Overall the game is pretty good and worth a shot, it's not worth 100% it though only worth at least playing Ann's and Tina's route. Mio's was okay, I'm not much of a huge fan on the childhood friend trope. It's a shame since I really like Yuuri's character design but her route was bad. I don't want to go into it too much because it's a route you have to play it for yourself.ДЇinally, gotta agree on both Yuuri's and Mio's route. I came into it expecting a lot of fluff and adorableness only to come out almost in tears. Onto Tina's route, definitely the best 'true' route. I really wished there was a lot more with her being involved and having more scenes of the MC being with her in a relationship as couples instead of shoehorning it in the end making it lackluster and unfulfilling, still I really enjoyed her route. Another thing that was disappointing for me was the lack of Eleonara sex scenes. However I do wished they made it like a super ambiguous secret thing instead of straight up revealing it in the VN's opening which would've made it a much more interesting route. Again, I really like the split-personality/shared body trope and it gave a bit of an air of mystery around Ann which was okay, but again nonetheless I like that trope. Next, Ann's route was really enjoyable for me it was a fun route and I really loved Ann's personality and quirks. Their relationship as lovers had a lot of other people denouncing it as a taboo and that it isn't right and it isn't something you should pursue was really good, especially when it came to when their mother found out and they had to break up made for a good tense and dramatic story. Whereas in Konami's route it's pretty explored a lot as a taboo as the main theme of the route to me was the MC coming in terms to falling in love with Konami as a women because at first he didn't see her anything more than a sister he loved as family and it being a taboo. Most visual novels would either just make the sibling the MC is in the relationship with to be non-blood related or a cousin, or they wouldn't go into too much about the aspect and have the MC date their siblings anyways with not much drama to it.

Speaking of tropes, the way they played with the controversial blood-related incest was pretty fresh for me at least.

I really enjoyed SakuSaku it played with some tropes I enjoy like the split personality/shared body trope. If you're a fan of romance VNs then I'd suggest giving it a shot. If it had a fandisc I'd want to read it just to see more of the characters, and as the first VN by Palette that I've ever read, It's made me more interested in buying 9 Nine (which is also by them) than I would've been otherwise. I also really liked the art and the soundtrack, too - both fit the VN really well, and a lot of the CGs were especially good ( like this one and this one). IMO it was consistent at doing that and while it wasn't amazing, or life changing or anything like that, it was an interesting enough read that like you say, was funny and dramatic enough to keep my attention and interest (Hanako for example was hilarious IMO). At the time I was reading it, I was going through a pretty stressful period IRL, but yet every day when I'd read, it would leave me with either a smile on my face, or a warm, comforting feeling, and in the end I read VNs for that purpose (to help me relax). I have happy memories of reading Saku Saku.
