They did an amazing job with the writing here, and without their hard work I don’t think this would’ve turned out as impactful as it did. I do want to give credit to the localization team. I would love to do a deep dive into what makes this title tick, and I may do that in an opinion piece down the road, but for today I will be keeping things as vague as possible. The game has many branching paths in the story and some very unique mechanics thrown in here that really make it stand out from anything else I’ve ever played. Y OU and ME and HER: A Love Story is one of those Visual Novels that the less you know about the story going into it, the more you will get out of it. Now this is the part of review where I usually do a more in-depth take on the story as a whole, but I’m not going to do that this time. He finally convinces Miyuki to help him, and this sets the three of them down a path in which they will never be the same again. Shinichi agrees pretty quickly since he thinks it will help with her gamer brain.
Aoi wants to be friends with the two of them since she doesn’t have any. She is the school’s “Queen Bee” and he feels she is far out of his league. Shinichi hasn’t interacted with Miyuki since they were kids. Soon his childhood friend Sone Miyuki arrives and tells her that Shinichi is her boyfriend just to get her off him. He thinks she has a serious case of gamer brain, or as some call it in anime circles, chuunibyou.
She says her name is Mukou Aoi and she goes on about needing Zappy to recharge and how this will trigger flags for later events. She suddenly falls off the platform and lands on him just like the scene in the game and conversation follows along with it as well. It’s the same girl he saw in the Visual Novel game on the phone!
He thinks he’s just launched some kind of Visual Novel on the phone then he hears a girl’s voice coming from a platform on the roof. Suddenly a girl appears on the phone saying she needs some Zappy (sex) to recharge her battery. The phone stops ringing before he can answer, so he checks the call history, and only GOD has called this phone. The phone is ringing and the caller ID says GOD is calling. Shinichi is heading to the school roof to meet a friend when he suddenly spies a cell phone lying on the ground. He is an earnest young man just kinda floating along through life without trying to stand out too much. The story follows a young man named Susuki Shinichi. I will attempt to explain the ins and outs of this very unique Visual Novel with no spoilers, and we’ll see if this a journey worth taking. The truth is that nothing could’ve prepared me for the ride this title took me on. The Visual Novel was developed by Nitroplus, after all. When I took on YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story for review, I knew I was going to be in for one wild ride.
