Before you buy; A Kiss for the Petals - The New Generation + Discussion

[Kats]

...I've decided to make a post much like the post I made for "A Kiss for the Petals - Remembering How We Met", which you can read here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/397270/discussions/0/483366528910907018/

If the "A Kiss for the Petals" series doesn't interest you in the slightest, no need to read this, and if you already know enough about the series, no need to read either, as I'll just explain some details about the series.
I might combine both threads, as there's details in the first thread I'll need to fit in nicely in here to make it complete.
I will, like in my first thread, refer to the series as "sonohana" as it's much faster to write, and it's abbreviated from "Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo".

General Info

Much like most other games in this series, it's set in a school, same school as all other games, but a different branch of it.
And it's also, unlike most other games, focused on more than one couple.
There's three games like this, being:
Michael no Otome-tachi
Shirayuki no Kishi
And this one, New Generation

As such, they are also longer than most other games in the series, taking about 10-20 hours to complete.
This one in particular takes about 12-15 hours, been a while since I played the JPN version so not 100% sure.

This game has little to do with the other games in the series, though it has a kind of big connection to both Michael no Otome-tachi and Shirayuki no Kishi, but only because of an event that occurs in both of them, though I won't spoil any more than that.
You do find that out pretty early on though.

This one, unlike "Remembering How We Met", has NSFW content, meaning, sex.
Because of that, this title is not getting a steam release.

Would you like this game?

TL;DR
You have to like the girls in the game, to actually enjoy going through it.
As such, I highly suggest you play the demo before buying the game.
There are two ways to download the demo.

Requires account to download demo

Does not require an account to download demo
From the sonohana page on Mangagamer: http://mangagamer.org/sonohana/
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the huge "Download" button, hard to miss it.

TL;DR End

These games have one important deciding factor that will decide if you will like the game or not.
This is the case with most games, but especially this one, and games like it.
If you do not like the characters, you will not like the game itself.
As an example, personally, I don't really like Sara and Kaede, their first game was "SonoHana: Watashi no Ouji-sama".
And since I didn't really like the two of them, it was honestly quite boring to get through their games.
On the other hand, I'm a big fan of Mai and Reo, their first game being "SonoHana: Anata to Koibito Tsunagi".
It was a joy to play their games, all because I liked the characters.

Since there's a demo of this game I highly suggest playing that before you buy it as you will get to meet all characters during it.
There are two ways to download the demo.
