Our take on BlackberryNOVA
Rather than centering on one fixed romance, the story treats college as a setting for several competing relationship routes. It also makes a former love between sisters part of the central romantic structure, alongside newer connections and route restrictions.
What is BlackberryNOVA?
BlackberryNOVA follows Kotori after high school as she begins college and seeks a romantic relationship.
The visual novel presents several possible routes involving Eri, a video-game enthusiast with a difficult temperament; Yukino, a confident anime and manga club president; Aika, Kotori’s sister and a former love interest; and other students. Kotori’s choices can lead to different relationships, including additional and hidden routes, but not every character can be pursued simultaneously. The story includes conflicts involving Eri’s childhood friend Izumi, unresolved feelings between Kotori and Aika, and Yukino’s interest in the protagonist. BlackberryNOVA is a sequel to BlueberryNOVA.
