Okay, I would recommend it, but only with very special conditions met:
1) It's on sale;
2) You're starving for otome and/or you've read too much good otomes, so you need to lower your bar to hell a little (my case);
3) You can push through not very good english;
4) You can turn off your brain and enjoy the game that so bad it's kind of good.

I have a weird love-hate kind of relationship with this one. I played the mobile version a long time ago, so maybe there's some nostalgia mixed in in there too.

If short, story ranges from unbearable and "tf am I reading" to "awww that was actually kind of cute". Also, all routes have really dumb moments in them, but some more than the others. And Tokiwa is the best boy, argue with the wall. Music is ok, graphics are the best thing about this game - very pretty. Here's a few quotes out of context to give you a taste of this glorious translation:

• "From the ditch I went back to Kikuya"
  
• "Our post-coitus talk went well"
  
• "Then I was penetrated on the shrine grounds" It's a running theme by the way. Almost every route has some boinking in the shrine.

And now long version with some spoilers.
Okay, you should know now that this game is dumb. And sometimes boring, and has quite a few yikes moments. And characters can be pretty annoying. Here's some of my thoughts on every route and characters.

MC

• it's a miracle she can even walk, spineless that she is.
  
• i hope she drinks enough water, cause I'm pretty she's constantly dehydrated from the amount of crying that she does.
  
• she's dumb, like really dumb. For example, Kagerou route. Fell in love with courtesan -> found out other women want to buy him -> "How could I not understand such simple consequence". Cause you a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idiot, honey. Your last brain cell was super lonely in that nugget of yours, so she left too.
  
• this extreme ideas of "modesty" and "innocence" piss me off. Like in Kagerou route - they already slept together, but she's too "shy" to kiss him on the lips? Or Kagura route - they're married for fk sake, but she can't say to him she thinks he's handsome? Ridiculous.
  
• favourite phrases: "Huh?" and "Ngh!.."

Kagerou

• there is tsundere and there is toxic abusive prick. He's more of the second one.
  
• sexual assault ain't romantic .
  
• in his route everyone around MC lied to her, made her believe she's dying just so this stupid, proud, stubborn man-child could accept his sister's offer to buy his freedom. That's kinda ♥♥♥ up.

Kagura

• he truly is Kagerou teacher. Like how he taught him how to sexually assault women because you can't understand your own stupid feelings!
  
• but he's more experienced. He can act possessive too! Yikes.
  
• hate to admit that his route had some genuinely cute moments. Like the moment with the book - proud Kagura asking others to help him cause he wants to help MC. Or how he literally gave her money so she could buy him, because he just wanted to see her more. That's sweet. Or how MC had some character development ... -ish. "I'll proudly walk my path even if I can't be with you, because you inspire me" - dramatic af, but pretty cool.

Takao

I'm conflicted.

• can be fun and cute. Can be way too arrogant, possessive and obsessive. Like a child with a toy.
  
• double sexual assault! From Tokiwa and then from Takao. You spoil me, truly.
  
• big twist is possible incest? What fun.
  
• story felt really rushed towards the end. Also, it's like devs forgot about CG, cause like half the route without them and then BAM! three in a row.
  
• endings are sweet though.

Hayato

• why are you here?
  
• possessive creep obsessed with virginity and "purity".
  
• I felt NO chemistry between him and MC. At all.
  
• it's just boring. And dumb. And rushed.

Iroha

• was my favourite when I played on mobile. What can I say, children are dumb and I was no exception.
  
• treating MC like a child. Talking about "teaching her about pleasures of Yoshiwara". Yikes. Pretty creepy considering the possible age gap.
  
• in first ♥♥♥♥♥ chapter he's talking to her how if she can't get dude hard, she won't get his precious jizz to get her preggy. Uuuuugh.
  
• they want you to believe that the twist is her possibly having to sleep with Kagerou or the whole arranged marriage thing (which, btw, was solved by Iroha literally threatening to kill any new fkboy of hers). Well, no! The big twist is that in this route she's the horny one and Iroha just like "naah".
  
• This route. Is. So. DUMB. "Why did you wanted to sleep with Tokiwa?" cause who wouldn't , "Because...because I like you!". I'll give no context for this one.
  
• 2 season is so unnecessary. I hate Azusa. And I hate Iroha a little bit more, cause he's a complete ♥♥♥♥ in season 2.

Tokiwa

Jewel in a trash. Best boy. Maybe because his route was a like breath of fresh air after the other ones, maybe because I have huge weakness for blonds, but he was my favourite.

• he just so cute. A bit childish, a bit simple, a bit sad, actually kind. Idk, just cute.
  
• didn't try to force himself at her in the first meeting. Was actually worried about her getting safely back. Yes, the bar is that low.
  
• didn't try to sexually assault her for the whole route! First few meetings they were just cuddling. Cute.
  
• When he kissed her for a first time wasn't even sexual. Also he said "This one is not for sale", "I'm not playing games or flattering you, I just thought I wanted to kiss you". ADORABLE!
  
• proud, but not arrogant. Has his principles. Like he refused to become top courtesan just because Takao is injured. He wanted to achieve his dream with his own effort. Admirable.
  
• the cutest confession.
  
• MC actually wanted to sleep with him, but he was reluctant, cause he didn't want it to be just like with other clients. And here I thought it was illegal in Yoshiwara to make sense.
  
• best route, hands down.

Anyway, it's a fun game to lose your mind. 10/10, I hate it!
