About
Mireille Maiorano is the daughter of a wealthy Italian family, raised in an all girls' boarding school far away from the rest of society — until her monotonous life is thrown into disarray after the unexpected death of her father.
Left with nowhere else to go, Mireille is sent to live with her uncle in France — but the man who acts as her escort is the worst person imaginable for such a delicate job. Lyon is a tactless, careless Frenchman who only seems to care about telling stupid jokes and seducing older women, and Mireille hates him with every inch of her being.
At least, she would. She wants to. But life isn't always that simple.

If you let the Story and the alternative end pass by and now try to put its Impressions into Words: Gripped up by the almost angelic Beauty of the Mareille and the severe Strokes of fate that it has had to accept, you want it Take right into her Arm and comfort-satisfied, however, one quickly realizes that she is quite capable of standing up sharply against Attacks.
The Dialogues are quite funny (although sometimes a little long, at least According to my Feeling. But that's probably more or less the Case with all THE UN, which can just be annoying if, like me, you're not quite saddle resistant in English and have to look up the Dictionary over and over again.)
I think this UN thrives mainly on the Atmosphere, and I think the Developers have been very successful in implementing this.
As already written in other Reviews, very little happens in itself-and perhaps it hits you almost like a Blow with the stick to the Head, because of it, when ...
But I don't want to spoil!
Some Of the Dialogues might seem a little cheesy, almost like fallen out of Time (such Boarding schools for taller Daughters, who at 18 Still cuddle exclusively with their Dolls, seem to have really existed once), but that's what it does, well The Charm of this UN!

When I first started this Novel, I was disappointed. The Writing Style is very own and after about an Hour the Characters and their Actions, even descriptions etc felt very much according to Cliché. So I stopped. Well, laaange time later tick off and turned it on one last time, skipsed a lot (if it didn't seem important, only when Bonding-/character development occurred I read again), until the End.
And have my Opinion GEÄNDERT.
For Reference: The First Pass should take about 2h possibly 2.5 h (there are NO decisions for this, with the 2nd There is only ONE. So It's more of a classic VN).
If you can and want to invest this, you will discover a Story here that does a lot of things wrong (e.g., there is talk of a violent Relationship and the Protagonist thinks that she would like to know how kissing feels ... Not very attached to the Topic ...) But it definitely has Potential and with a little more Maturation the next Game could be really Special!
The Story etc. may not be very more one-way because it is so peculiar and I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. Yet behind the Surface are actually hiding interesting Twists and also deeper Characters than it seems. Especially Lyon, who was annoying for me most Of the time and only made Sense, actually developed into a good Figure after the End and I would like to read it again after the first End to see the other ends.
