Hearing otome games, many people might imagine peaceful stories shortening the distance with someone they like little by little. However, “Kimi ni Madoi, Kimi ni Oboreru.” betrays that expectation in a good way. Because not only the joy of falling in love, but an earnest fate where one must seek someone in order to live forms the axis of the story, emotions are naturally drawn into each and every choice and conversation. Immersion is high enough to read through while thinking “What would I do if it were me?”, and it is a work where heart-throbs of romance and tension affecting life are depicted in an exquisite balance.

This work is an ambitious title that incorporated male-female Omegaverse as a theme for the first time as an Otomate work. While cherishing familiar royal road settings, because the worldview unique to this work is carefully built, not to mention people who have touched Omegaverse works, even people enjoying this genre for the first time can easily enter the story. Point where emotions wavering between instinct and reason, feelings caring for the partner, and unavoidable fate are intricately intertwined, allowing you to feel a depth that cannot be tasted in a simple romance story, is a major charm.

The protagonist, who lived without a verse nature for a long time, is suddenly informed of being an Omega, and her own life changes greatly. Furthermore, she must accept the harsh reality that “without a pair, I cannot live until age twenty-five”, and is forced to make the decision to search for a partner to become her pair in order to live. Amid that, the development of returning to her hometown for the first time in five years and reuniting with friends who were once close is extremely impressive, where nostalgia, confusion, and new love feelings intersect little by little. A sense of distance born precisely because they are partners who know the past, and feelings carried by each give depth to the story, allowing you to fully savor even the charm of human relationships that cannot be told by romance alone.

The charm of this work also lies in not relying only on dramatic developments. Casual conversations with characters, changes in gaze, and distance shortening little by little are carefully depicted, so the accumulation of small events eventually connects to great emotion. Feelings guided by instinct and the desire to love someone by one's own will collide many times, and that conflict reflects the characters more attractively. Before you know it, you will want to know the continuation of the story and want to witness the destination of each and every person's feelings until the end.

“Kimi ni Madoi, Kimi ni Oboreru.” is a work where not only can you enjoy sweet romance, but a heavy story directly facing the unavoidable fate of destiny leaves an impression. Various emotions such as sadness, heart-throbs, hope, and anxiety overlap beautifully within a single story, and the more you read through, the attachment to the characters deepens. Not to mention people who like otome games, even for people seeking stories that move the heart greatly, it can be called a work equipped with charm to be absorbed in until the end that I definitely want people to touch.
