Before playing Maidens of Michael, one should know that this is the eleventh game in the Kiss For The Petals series. No knowledge of the previous ten is required, as the game gives enough context for the player to pick up on the story. I have personally only played the very first game in the series, but had no trouble getting into this one. It appears that very little has changed since then, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Full-length. This is actually the first full-length entry in the Kiss For The Petals series. Every entry prior to Maidens of Michael barely takes five hours or so to complete, but this one takes around twenty or so hours to complete, four times that of any prior entry. This is largely due to the game having more than just one couple featured within. There is a new couple that gets a larger route (about a third of the game), with each of the other featured couples getting a smaller (yet still satisfying) route.

TOO CUTE. The entire Kiss For The Petals series is held up by just how overwhelmingly cute it is, at least in the all-ages versions. Maidens of Michael is no exception to this rule and manages to keep it up throughout each route in the game. Using the free 18+ patch on the Steam version unlocks the spicier scenes. Doing so maintains the cuteness, but without the innocence. Depending on the type of player, that can be a pro or a con.

HD Assets. The assets in Maidens of Michael can be scaled up to 1600×1200, more than what my monitor can even display (vertically, at least). According to the Store page, this is 4x times that of the original game. The assets looked great as a result. A really nice job was done with the upscale, with no visible blurriness or rough edges.

Average storyline. The story is not all that complex here, with the game’s focus being on the love between each of the couples rather than any sort of interesting story. The story is at least passable, although each route is very formulaic. They are all built up with unnecessary drama, only to resolve by the end of the route.

Bad soundtrack. This series is not really known for its background music, and for a good reason. Maidens of Michael has the most boring soundtrack for a VN, truly the epitome of “generic VN music”. I would not be surprised if I heard that this music was recycled from the previous games. None of the tracks stand out from the rest and they all could easily be passed off as royalty-free. In fact, about halfway through the game, I subbed out the game’s music for my own music, soundtracks from other visual novels. At least the opening theme is decent, but nothing too special.

Maidens of Michael is a decent visual novel overall. It may not be strong on the story side, but it definitely makes up for it with its characters and their interactions. The fact that the game is full-length and uses HD assets is definitely a plus as well. Would definitely recommend for fans of the series or for those looking to get into the Kiss For The Petals series.

I love this visual novel! It is a close second to my #1 favorite visual novel "Love Ribbon" the character development and relationship development is just so amazing! My favorite couple is of course Risa x Miya. How could anyone not love those two!? I love this visual novel and I hope MangaGamer developes it into an anime some day! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! Oh! And the opening scene is amazing too! It always surprises me when a visual novel has an opening scene!

I've been waiting for this since 2012.
This game is 100% /u/ recommended.

Edit: Don't forget about the uncensored patch on mangagamer's website.

ReoMai is best ship
Fight me

nice yuri

can't say best, its not, but pretty good whatsoever

This game makes me want to relive Highschool as a gay anime girl.

Maidens of Michael is the perfect yuri VN. Uncensored patch is neccessary and one hand to click isn't difficult to... advance the story.

Mano, lembro que era caro demais comprar esse jogo na importadora, ainda bem que fizeram essa versão da Steam, ficou muito dahora.
Pessoal, essa franquia A kiss for the Petal ou Sono Hanabira, não é igual esses tais Yuri que tem por aí não tipo Citrus, aonde a guria ta la tendo caso com monte de caras, si cansa de ter casos com caras e depois decidi ter casos com garotas assim mesmo rola um NTR. Ja aqui no A kiss é diferente, Yuri é levado a sério sem homens nenhum, as garotas do A Kiss só querem saber de suas sempais, sem nenhuma menção de traição, aqui A kiss é tudo fofo é 100% Yuri momento todo. Um casal que eu mais gosto é as primas Kitajima, o amor que ela tem entre elas são impressionante.
Reo e Mai é como si fosse um toradora, uma garota baixinha Tsundere e a Mai uma Tomy Girl dominadora. Mas também é impressionante é o casal principal dessa empreita, Miya e Risa, nem vou ficar dando spoiler aqui que é impressionante o Enredo desse jogo.
tenho um xanneu de yuri visite-me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaVRLe1aTvAgiMgSWbXaeSg/videos?view_as=subscriber

One of the greatest series of all time.

I totally recommend this game. I got interested because of the OVA release. I was actually Reo and Mai fan but after playing this game, I'm now leaning towards MiyaxRisa pairing <3 <3 <3!! I hope that they'll release the other games here at Steam especially "A Kiss For The Petals – Snow White’s Knight" if I'm not mistaken. I would totally want to play MiyaxRisa route. Seeing Miya jealous will be much fun!
