STORY |
| Kagami Makoto is in his 3rd year of college when he inherits the estate of his late grandfather and starts planning out what he’s going to do with his newfound home. However, his plans are foiled when his childhood friend Iyo, who turns out to be a zashiki-warashi, introduces herself, looking exactly the same as he remembers her from over a decade ago. Then, a woman named Kikyou, who claims to be a demon, also appears before him.
After that, it isn’t long before a pretty detective at the police department comes knocking on his door, imploring him to take up his family’s duty of helping wandering spirits pass on to the afterlife and assist the police with any and all supernatural crimes reported in town. But when a case that’s bigger than any of them ever imagined comes his way, will he be able to handle it? With the power of clairvoyance, an ability passed down through his family that allows him to see spirits, maybe he and his demon familiars can pull through, and he can be a proper successor to his family’s legacy. |
CHARACTERS
Takigawa KotoriVA: Akino Hana A girl who attends a school close to Makoto’s house, who chooses to become his assistant after he helps her out of a rough situation. She has an unnaturally strong sixth sense, which allows her to see ghosts, though her abilities are still flawed compared to Makoto’s. However, she can sense spirits near her, which is an ability that is wholly her own. Kotori is a bright, cheerful individual with a smile that never fades, but is sometimes so straightforward that she confuses those around her. She sees Makoto as an older brother of sorts and is constantly concerned about his safety |
 |
IyoVA: Mamiya Yuzu Though her outward appearance is that of an innocent young girl, she’s actually an ancient zashiki-warashi. Iyo supports Makoto with her vast reserves of knowledge, a fact that is not lost upon the inexperienced young head of the Kagami family. As a zashiki-warashi, she supposedly brings fortune to everyone who resides in the same house as her, but her twisted personality and tendency to tease others makes that hard to believe. Iyo is a hardcore gamer and seems to stay in her room, on her computer, at all times unless there’s food on the table. She mainly prefers online games too, where her dominant personality is fully unleashed. |
 |
KikyoVA: Misonoh Mei Kikyou is a demon who was conjured by Makoto’s grandfather, the previous head of the Kagami family. Normally, a demon always accompanies their master into the afterlife, but Kikyou somehow remained behind in order to support Makoto. Demons are invisible to the naked eye and possess powers beyond human comprehension, but neither of those applies to her. Generally, she appears calm, kind, and reserved, looking exactly like an ordinary person, but when she gets mad… |
 |
Fushimi AzusaVA: Kawashima Rino A newly promoted detective who Makoto meets due to his new role as head of the Kagami family. The Kagamis have been working with the police for generations, receiving rewards for helping them close cases. Azusa works for the 13th Division, a branch that specifically deals with supernatural cases, and only began believing in ghosts upon meeting Makoto. Initially thinking she was sent off to a dead branch due to her lack of faith in the paranormal, she now lends her keen insight to the goal of helping wandering spirits move on to the afterlife. |
 |
AoiVA: Ohkawa Mio The first demon created for Makoto. Her cat ears and tail are unique to her, presumably formed due to Makoto’s odd tastes. She was born with the ability to read the memories of both people and objects, which is of great help when hunting down clues to crack cases. The only problem with her is that she’s a real firecracker, and rather feisty, so she often brings a whole bundle of problems with her. |
 |
FuyouVA: Misonoh Mei The second demon created for Makoto. Curiously, both her appearance and personality matches Kikyou’s, perhaps due to how much she means to Makoto. She knows how to do any and all housework and is the only one of his demons who can be seen by an average person without a sixth sense, which makes chores like shopping a cinch. However, due to that, she has no special abilities whatsoever. Of course, because she looks like Kikyou, seeing her angry is… quite a sight. |
 |
IrisVA: Fujisaki Usa The third demon created for Makoto. Unlike the other demons, she wears western clothing and always carries around a stuffed toy named Axy. Iris is a telepath, a fact that allows her to link the minds of Makoto and all his demons in order for them to communicate more easily regardless of distance. However, precisely due to those powers, she has trouble speaking directly to people, so she stutters and stammers quite often in person. |
 |
Hijikata YumiVA: Hijikata Yumi A junior who attends the same university as Makoto, although their long-standing relationship stretches much further past that. Unfortunately, the two of them are rather distant and awkward around each other at present because of certain circumstances… Yumi appears very bold and headstrong at a glance, but is actually quite shy and a bit of a late bloomer, even coming off as stiff and cold to the customers at the cafe where she works part-time. She completely lacks any kind of sixth sense, which means she views the world in a different light from Makoto. Still, despite everything, she desperately wishes to improve her relationship with him. |

Great emotional story. Highly recommend

My chest feels heavy right now.
This was a visual novel that just drew me in right from the start with a sentimental, nostalgic atmosphere. A young man moving out on his own, after inheriting the house of his grandfather, where he spent his childhood summers. And then suddenly learning that he has lived his entire life without realizing that he can see the supernatural. An ability his grandfather also had.
Not that this story is all tranquil, but if you like the starting point of that plot, then I say go ahead and buy this, it’s well worth it.
The VN is high quality and polished in every way. There is no animation, except for some dazzling effects, but there are more transitional character images than most visual novels, both in normal scenes and ero scenes, which really did a lot for the overall feel of quality. And also, the voice acting is of especially high quality.
The story has choices that all matter for entering routes, but just go with your gut feeling the first time. If you want a guide to enter other routes on subsequent playthroughs, then I recommend the one made by “h a e r t s” on steamcommunity.
I do have to point out that the game has one notable flaw. Parts of the different routes reuses material, meaning you have to play through the exact same scenes again. Or sometimes what looks to be the same exact scenes, but then suddenly has one or two changes about it. One route barely has any unique content. One route has a lot of unique content. And two of them are kinda in between. I don’t know if I should tell you why, but there’s a few reasons for it. Still, it’s unfortunate.
With that said, after finishing all the endings of this game, I just can’t give it four stars.

Ive played a lot of visual novels and i have to say this one is very special.
It starts out like most where we see the main character move to a new place and get to meet the other characters in the game pretty standard for most visual novels.
Then the main story starts to clear up to what it can be not too far from the beginning and what the protagonist needs to do and we see how emotional the story can be. Get to meet new characters as the story progresses and get to know them and the mystery that ensues to be the main focus and shows a gritter story then expected that sucks you in wanting to get further in the story and find out what happens next.
As the story progresses we learn more about the characters and the solution to the mystery and what needs to be done and see each characters reaction to it all . As the mystery comes to a close more info is revealed and the deeper emotional situations come into play and experience it all the sadness the joy and the choices that have to be made.
All the routes are very well written as well one route however doesn’t really compare to the rest but they where a joy to see. Even to have a great route story for a character i was not expecting to be that great but i was presently surprised. Tho i have to say all the routes follow the same main story with a few twists for the routes sake nothing unheard of for visual novels but the endings for each route are all different and very heart warming and brings a tear to your eye.
The art is absolutely well drawn and very detailed and helps portray the importance of certain scenes. The music is very well made perfectly expressing the sadness and joy and draws you in with its tune. The voice acting is very well done as well you can hear the emotion for every scene be it sad or happy or just goofing around it fit the characters perfectly.
I have too add the h-scenes were very good and didn’t feel random or forced some even were important to the stories progression or fit the route and character but all in all very well done
All in all was a very very well made story that was full of laughs and joy and sadness and curiosity on what happens next but leaves you with strong feelings in the end that left me both happy and little sad but very satisfied.
Came to play a regular visual novel with a good story left with a special visual novel with an excellent story. this one is sure to be on my top visual novels i have ever played

This is one of those visual novels that will always have a special place in my heart. The characters are charming, the artwork is great, and the stories are impactful. It’s hard to get into why it’s so impactful for me without spoiling things, and for that reason, if you’re interested in reading Nanairo I implore you to avoid spoilers like the plague. It’s not that the moments that shouldn’t be spoiled lose impact, but I feel that the payoff of not knowing what’s coming happens to be so much more rewarding. One scene in particular left me so devastated, that I argue it alone would qualify Nanairo as a nakige (crying game).
Anyway, the main character, Makoto, takes on the responsibility of his predecessors in helping the lingering spirits of his town move on. He is essentially a detective. Throughout the course of the story he acquires some assistants that help him investigate how to best help the spirits he encounters move on. As such, there are elements of mystery, horror, and the supernatural present, but there are also plenty of slice of life moments mixed in too. Not to mention there is also a fair amount of humor as well. All those elements mix together to create a very fun and emotionally engaging read.
Nanarin makes good use of its CGs and music, both which contribute to the impact of very important scenes in the game. I’ve already mentioned that the artwork is well done, but the sex scenes are great (and some are great in ways you wouldn’t expect) as well. Usually the genitals in visual novels that remove mosaics are poorly drawn, but the artist(s) did an excellent job drawing them. As such the sex CGs are much more high quality and enjoyable.
There are 4 heroines in the game, and five different endings. There are a fair amount of choices to make in the game. However, there is a guide on the game’s Steam community that keeps spoilers to the minimum possible, if you feel inclined to use it. That said, it took me around 30 hours to read all the routes, though your time spent reading may be more or less. Either way, it’s safe to say it’s a medium-length visual novel with a long common route. That said, Nanarin is easily worth the price of admission, especially when you consider the quality art, story, characters, and impact it can have on you. It’s not an exaggeration to say I’ll never forget Nanairo Reincarnation, and I definitely want to read it again. I highly recommend it.
