īut Maki’s and Kouichi’s routes honestly felt disappointingly average to me. I believe Hiroshi’s route is by far the best one of the four in themes, execution, character development, everything. The routes are extremely varying in quality. The, uh, map one of them drew just may be one of my favorite piece of art from the game. A really nice extra which I wish more games would have! The director, writer, and artist comments were also fun to read. Each voice actor for a main character gives their thoughts about their character. After a route, parts of the staff comments section are unlocked. Of course, there’s the No Thank You-button which is a nice change from how you normally make choices in visual novels (though there are still normal choices in the game). NTY has many nifty features! Like being able to save your favorite voice acting lines. It won’t be something I will remember for a long time, and I have no desire to buy the soundtrack. It fits the game and atmosphere well, but it’s nothing too special. Some of the best CGs from the game are actually from bad endings. I do really like that important bad endings get a nice CG every now and again though. When there are CGs though, they’re beautiful. Something that’s a shame is that there aren’t enough CGs for pivotal moments. The character designs are generally sleek and realistic-looking. Even grew to like it! That’s just me not being used to anything but typical anime style, though. I’m not a big fan of the ‘shiny’ character art, but I got used to it eventually. If Haru wasn’t as great as he is, NTY wouldn’t be nearly as good. I can’t praise him enough. He comments on literally everything that he notices and he thinks everything is fun and interesting. It really is quite a change from a normal protagonist. Or he just makes up an incomprehensible nickname like Bunbun. It’s all adorable. He can’t remember anyone’s name, so he calls them by any feature that catches his eye. Haru is so descriptive about literally everything in a very childish way. Haru is by far the greatest thing about NTY. “The man who washes his asshole out with the company bidet, Ryu Kurosawa!” “B-Boobs! Boobies!! Boobs! Boobs! Boo! Booobs!!” ‘I spoke to Pops’ crotch as I patted it gently. Even though he’d probably lose to bandage dude in a contest of height, penis size, general attractiveness, or number of women he’s slept with, I think Hiroshi’s more grown up and I like him better!’ ‘The powerful bond between fellow virgins is nothing to laugh at!’ And most importantly, Haru is extremely quotable: Most protagonists are mind-numbingly bland, after all. He just may have become my favorite protagonist, an achievement that… really wasn’t very hard to get. A game that has many good assets, the best of which may be its awesome protagonist! I can’t fault NTY for my own mistake.Įnough about that though, let’s talk about the actual game. It just wasn’t all it was hyped up to be for me. And thankfully, what I got wasn’t average and certainly not bad. Going in, I was expecting a very good visual novel with a compelling story something better than just another average BL game like the disappointing DRAMAtical Murder. I tried not to be, but it was hard. The Japanese-speaking fans were talking this game up a lot. I was slightly hyped before I started NTY. And I’m not talking about the abruptness of some of the H-scenes, although they made my bus rides very interesting, to say the least. Drama, comedy, action, mystery… NTY managed to surprise me in more ways than one. No, Thank You is a game that encompasses many different genres. This is the story of Haru and the memories he makes during the hot summer. He is taken in by the man he protected, and starts working at his bar and the behind-the-scenes detective agency. Haru jumped in to protect a man that was about to get hit by a car, and as a result he is now amnesic. No, Thank You is the story of a young man named Haru. Spoilers will be posted in white text in between brackets, like so.
