About This Game Narumi Kouki, our hapless protagonist, writes a risque romcom for a weekly manga magazine. Due to its content, he's kept it a secret from everyone except the two closest to him: Mihiro and Toa.One day, by a strange turn of events, he discovers that the school's Student Council President, Rokuonji Kaoruko, is actually the illustrator for his manga.The Student Council is looking for a male representative, so he is persuaded into joining. Because he has a secret to keep, he joins on the condition that his manga work be kept confidential. However, Vice President Ashe, unaware of his circumstances, is vehemently against him joining. In the midst of all this, the students' requests and problems keep on pouring in... a09c17d780 Title: WAGAMAMA HIGH SPECGenre: Adventure, CasualDeveloper:madosoftPublisher:Sekai ProjectRelease Date: 26 Jul, 2017 WAGAMAMA HIGH SPEC Download Xbox 360 Iso Let's start off by addressing the elephant (or watermelons) in the room: these boobs are some of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. Wow, they're stupid. Okay.Wagamama High Spec is a standard "rom com" moege VN. You've got the imouto (Toa), the childhood friend (Mihiro), the student Council president (Pres), and the tsundere (Ashe). The MC is a ordinary high school student...who writes the stories to a serialized rom com manga.This "profession" has a ton of impact on the story here, and honestly elevates the experience significantly. In many of these types of VNs (Princess Evangile, ACe Academy, Maitetsu, arguably Clannad and Little Busters) the MC is little more than a paper cutout that gets defined in relation to the girl he's pursuing. Here, pretty much every storyline is interwoven with the MC's efforts in his manga--something he's already achieved personally. The conficts and climaxes tend to involve than manga and the route girl in some way, and the future goals are very literal ("I want to build this series to the place where I can license a TV anime"). It's a pretty unique touch.All that said, it's still mostly a rom-com. The setting is practically nonexistent, there's not really an overarching goal (the manga is doing fine, but during each route the specific goals for it are created, meaning there's nothing like Evangile's "co-ed integration" plotline), the characters tend to be a little interesting in certain ways but they're largely free of conflict (there's one exception, and it's certainly the best route), the typical conflict during each route is treated fairly casually, and gets resolved in a straightforward manner. It's a rom com.There's one route for each character. Toa's route...I don't remember much at all, it's been months since I played that one. I think I liked it. Mihiro's route focuses mostly on her and her family's business; this route has almost no manga stuff. The conflict resolution starts pretty quick, and is potentially some of the most interesting in the VN in that it involves the MC learning a completely new skillset--but it's just cooking, which I don't care a lot about. Ashe's route is unquestionably the strongest, involves conflict over her estranged family and their expectations for her, and has an atypical twist near the end that gets resolved in a kind of cool way (that incorporates the manga). Pres' route revolves the most around the manga and her and the MC's efforts there; the conflict is essentially all about the MC, and feels a bit contrived.6\/10 (if I could remember Toa's route it might be a 6.5). A 5 is a so-so experience, and in a lot of ways Mihiro's and Pres' routes were that. Ashe's is interesting, and the "manga writer" setup is pretty clever in terms of how it affects the writing (the VN has a few of meta moments because of this) and personalizes the MC. Ultimately however it's still a rom-com, and that's just not my style. I'd say Princess Evangile is the closest thing I've played to this, but the significantly larger cast of reoccurring characters, their personalities (not just in terms of who they are, but how people perceive them (which only comes up in Ashe's route here)), the "co-ed integration" plotline (side-by-side with the MC's "get to stay in this school" goal), and serious take on personal drama (frequently family-based) make it a vastly superior experience.. this game cured my depression and loneliness. if you like boobies buy this game.Mihiro's route: 12\/10Ashe's Route: 8\/10 (would be 10\/10 but I hate the ending ;-;)Toa's Route: 6\/10Kaoruko's Route: 6\/10. We are back again with another VN Review!!!Firstly to start off with, this Visual Novel has a very calming and subtle feel to it. And the story of it is your Typical story where the main character is surrounded by girls with different personality in his daily life. But what makes this Story unique is that the story is able to make me root for the main character when it reaches the Climax and hate him when i have to. It allows me to go through a rollercoaster of emotion before i am allowed to reach the ending which for everyone of the heroines, it tells a different story and because of their personality they all have a different point of view which you can tell the character development in this game really shows you how they came to like the main character and it ensures you know everything you need to know while leaving some in secret for you to guess, which turns out into an amazing outcome for all the Heroines. THUS FOR ALL VISUAL NOVEL LOVERS, especially those who love Slice of Life Visual Novel like If My Heart had Wings or A Sky Full of Star, I RECOMMEND YOU TO TRY THIS WHOLE HEARTLY.. Looking through the reviews for this game, it doesn't seem like any really address what it actually is, so I'll attempt to answer that.Wagamama High Spec is a VN that stands out in two areas, comedy and art. The fact that the art is gorgeous should be obvious from the store page, a lot of detail went into the sprites and it shows.The fact that this is primarily a comedy isn't really obvious though. I spent 29 hours playing this, and of those about 25 involved me laughing out loud or grinning like an idiot. The cast of characters is well rounded, and most of the humor comes seemlessly from the character personalities and the dialogue between them. That is to say that the jokes aren't forced in. I would even go as far as to say that it feels like the story gets caught up in the characters' pace, it just naturally gravitates towards hilarious interactions.This is a feel-good VN through and through. It's not a thriller, nor will it give you "the feels." It will however make you laugh until you can't sit up straight.The story is well written, though not exceptional. The scenarios aren't particularly new or interesting, and the writers managed to drop the ball on the endings of most of the routes. The romance is cute, and admittedly more realistic than standard VN fare in the way the relationships progress. Despite the obligatory flaming about censorship (Can we just get over it already? Please.), this game handles sex and sexuality much better than most VN's I've read. Sex is not taboo, it's a part of a healthy relationship and for ****'s sake, by the time you're ready to proclaim your love to someone you should be ready to kiss and have sex.All the buildup wether that be a steamy exchange or the abrupt "Let's \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 for no apparent reason" that you find in VN's is left in tact along with any pillow talk afterwords. All they did was replace the hentai slide show + erotica with a black screen that leaves no doubt as to what just happened.That said, none of the romances were particularly heartwarming or moving, they were just cute.Of the four routes, I rated them 8, 7, 7, 6, which is pretty decent, though none blew me away.My biggest complaint with the novel is that the writers completely dropped the ball when it came to finishing up the routes. A good epilogue can cinch the route, and stay with you. It's what you'll remember when you think back to the game a year later. I think that the routes could have been at least a point or two higher across the board if they had gone for a big finish. Instead they usually had a cop out, which is just sad considering I can immediately think of ways the ending could have been impactful and meaningful in 3 of the four routes.Due to the lackluster endings, really I'll just remember this as an extremely funny game, where the journey, not the end is what matters.If it weren't for the comedy gold in this novel, it would be thoroughly mediocre, however it's just so enjoyable overall that I give it a 7.5 out of 10.To enjoy the novel to the fullest, I would suggest only that you end on Kaoruko's route and don't start with Ashe's.TLDR:If you enjoy VN's this is worth a buy just for the laughs.. This is a cute and funny visual novel. Lots of comedy. Lots of cute girls. You play as a aspiring manga writer, who writes a rather risque romcom for a weekly magazine. And then, through a series of events, he discovers that the Student Council President is a colleque (his illustrator: Mr. Deer). He decides to join the Student Council, and somehow ropes his childhood friend and his sister into the Council, too. Too bad the Vice President hates his guts... (mostly because he walked in on her changing in the Council Room).It has a decent plot, nice characters, and great art. About the only downside is that one of the love interests is your sister. Not step-sister, your full-blooded sister.Would recommend getting it on discount, but it is a good read otherwise.. Ten minutes into the game and I already found a Skyrim reference. 10\/10All jokes aside, this game is turning out better than I was expecting. I can't give a decent review about the story at this point in time as I havent gotten very far yet, but I can say that the visuals and bgm are some of the best I have experienced in a visual novel. The voice acting is also very well done, and I havent stumbled across any translation errors as of yet. If your looking for a Slice of life\/Comedy\/Romance visual novel to play, then look no further.P.S. Theres still quite a bit of fan service included in the steam version ;)P.P.S. If you are a part of the "Flat is Justice" group, this game is not for you.
