Favorite bit so far was the Meeting of the Imoutos, which I had never thought about happening. Sometimes a joke strikes you out of nowhere, and I found myself laughing for about a minute straight when it turned out Raido's seemingly more normal sister is prone to exaggerated fantasies too. Can't tell you why that hit me so hard, but it did.

It kind of makes me sad the reviewer didn't know there's already a fantastic Like a Dragon/Animal Crossing crossover, with the incredibly detailed minigame Dondoko Island within Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. It may be with humans and not cartoon animals (mostly) and features best boy Ichiban rather than our beloved Dragon of Dojima, but it's definitely an animal crossing experience Very Happy

Enjoyable return for the series. The animal crossing intro didn't do much for me, but got some laughs when it crossed over into Yakuza Laughing

I missed this quirky cast and Aharen and Raido's adorable romance (coupled with Aharen's lack of personal space and Raido's tendency to mental extremes). Now we've even got a Nao Toyama Gyaru who is just as wholesome and dorky as everybody else!

Raido was born to play immersion gaming and get lost in it. Animal Crossing by way of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios and CD Projekt Red indeed. Also his idea of a drunk person is so...Raido.

I love how Raido's sister is prone to delusions as much as he is...and finally meets Aharen's little sister.
