I was perusing aarinfantasy and saw someone made a thread about their spoiler free review of this game... I was like, "WHAT!?? IT'S OUT? AND NO ONE TOLD ME?!".

So, yep! That's right, parade girlies. Their newest entry, lesson, is finally out! 

Here's

if you wanna check that out. I'd put all the info stuff like I did for my Luckydog1 English translation post, but boy... I sure am lazy and bad at Japanese. But what I can tell you is it seems you can buy promotional stuff related to the game, like prints and such! I guess the artist is the one who did Room No. 9 and Lkyt., Nikadou Shino/Norizane. You can also fill out some questionnaire thing too? There's also the synopsis and info about the two main characters... just some interesting stuff on there to take a look at!

You can either buy the digital version

on Fanza/dmm.co.jp, or if you're old fashioned...

on Getchu! I assume you'd probably have to use a proxy service if you're outside of Japan, though. For Fanza, you have to use a VPN set to Japan, and blah blah blah... buncha hoop jumping stuff. They just don't want our Western dollarydoos! It's an outrage, I say! An outrage!

But either way...  I so want to buy this! I loved No, THANK YOU!!!. Maybe as a Christmas present for myself? 

And well, since No, THANK YOU!!!, Room No. 9, and Lykt. got translated, I can't wait until this one gets translated too! It'll probably be a while... oh well. That's just the way it goes.

I SAW THIS ON REDDIT!! The game looks kinda dark-ish, I'm not into the top's character design BUT the bottom seems okay, it kind of reminds me of Room no.9 cus y'know, only 2 characters and is kinda dark, also by Parade.. and I really liked Room no.9! So I think I'll also give Lesson a chance if anyone uploads it at any point.

I bought it on semi-impulse about a week ago, and I'm really enjoying it so far! I'm about halfway through, and I love the 2 main characters' dynamic. As far as I can tell, it's not too similar to Room No. 9. I'll see as I keep playing though!

I'd upload it here if I knew how! However, I do encourage people to buy it if they have the money. It's about $34 USD right now!

Oh man! I just checked the Fanza link, I have no idea why it puts a "%20" at the end of the URL when you click on it. Just erase that, [and if you've set your VPN to a Japanese server] it'll show the product page!

It's weird because when you hover over it, it's the correct link address. Oh well.

I just finished this game... god, what a masterpiece. Seriously. The twists man, holy shit.

I guess for a spoiler free, semi-restrained review...

This game is up there with Shingakkou for me- kamige status. It wasn't nearly as long or involved of a playthrough as Shingakkou was, but goddamn the writing is amazing. It's not exactly a "date these 5 love interests and bang them teehee" thing like a lot of BL VN's are... it's more a story of how deeply these two people are intertwined in each other's backstories/lives. Goes deep as hell.

This game really hits you hard if you've been a victim of pretty unsavory stuff, and/or you've had a rough ass upbringing. But damn, if it didn't make it better. There's so much thought in the writing. It's incredible.

I love Kento and Yoshino. Kento is just such a likeable character. I wish he was real so I could hug the life outta him. Yoshino's... complicated. If you know, you know. But I still like him a lot and respect him despite that. I'd have a drink with this poor bastard. Someone give this fucker a hug too... he deserves as much hugs as Kento does.

I think this is parade's best game yet. I really liked NO, THANK YOU!!!, but lesson easily outranks it. 

If you guys have some shekels to toss at them, please, do it. This game deserves your dollarydoos.  

I really can't wait for this to be picked up and translated... probably by MangaGamer again. I'd definitely buy it.

CONGRATS ON FINSHING THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks very promising! I already finished shingakkou and the plot was SO GOOD, so if you're saying it's around the same level then I'm quite excited for it as well :O
