![]() The protagonist is the only exception, and he's both intrigued and a little disappointed that his eyes don't work on her.Īs with Shin, the protagonist starts out already dating Ikki, but despite the fact he's the playboy character, he hasn't actually gotten very far with her. Shortly after eye contact is broken, women come to their senses. But there is no doubt that Ikki's condition is supernatural given the way it works. His condition is a little weird though, in that other than Orion and the protagonist's magically induced amnesia, supernatural elements are sparse from storyline to storyline. By the time we meet him he's been like this for several years, rotating girlfriends and figuring even if he can't find anyone he likes he might as well have a little fun. Ikki cannot have a normal relationship with someone who is constantly under his sway due to his "condition" and he's annoyed by that. In other words, his story is more about him than the relationship between him and the protagonist, and I never quite got the feeling that Ikki loved the protagonist for herself rather than simply being the only person who can resist him. His route is largely a story about a good looking young man with the unfortunate ability to charm any woman who meets his eyes. ![]() Sure, the player and the protagonist have a lot of questions, but Ikki's route doesn't feel like it has a problem beyond what recovering the protagonist's memories would solve. This is largely due to the fact the plot doesn't seem to have much in the way of suspense beyond the fact she has amnesia in the first place. ![]() While Ikki's route has a level of mystery about it due to the player's amnesia, it doesn't quite manage the oomph of Shin or Toma's. She doesn't always succeed to the degree that she'd like, but the dialogue options offer some creative ways to avoid answering questions. The protagonist wakes up at home with no memory and does her best to hide it from those around her. Ikki's route is played much the way Orion's opening dialogue leads you to expect. ![]()
