There, despite my constant complains about everything, I decided to pack everything up and put it out.

Do note that although it’s completely translated into English, the editing is incomplete, and the efforts invested in this game vary. It’s clearly not a proper “release”, but more of a “giving up” on finishing this. This is a decision made at the end of October after roughly 2 months of stagnation, when it has became clear that this project will not be going anywhere.

Due to the substandard quality, it’s advised that those who will feel infuriated by bad English should avoid this. For quality reference, I’d say the unedited portion is it’s at the same level as Sono Hanabira 3 and 5, if you’d read that, you’ll be fine. Even though we’re unable to finish this to the end, I still hope that some of you can be able to enjoy it, or at least enjoy parts of it.

Comments from a couple staff:

From Kastel:

If you liked subarashiki hibi, you should play ikikoi

From mizuha:

eika best imouto haha

From Kathar:

A fun, light on story, heavy on character interaction drama where all four girls have two things in common: they think you are an idiot and they love you anyway. Whether you go for the onii-chan obsessed little sister, the tsundere cousin, the pure-hearted delinquent or the quirky maid, you’ll find a mix of funny and heart-warming moments. I hope everyone enjoys going through it as much as I did.

FAQ

Q: Is there a good story, preferably one that includes blood and explosions?

A: No, this is a comedy oriented moege. It’s catered to an M audience, the protagonist get abused by tsunderes all the time, pretty much a hit and miss for people depending on their preference.

Q: Help, my game running at 1fps.

A:This is a problem that occurs on the original game as well. Unfortunately, I have no clue at to why it happens, and I wasn’t able to recreate it either. But its been reported by people who had this problem that restarting the computer works. If not, uninstalling first, rebooting(or log off user then login?) then reinstall works. After narrowing things down, I assume the “trick” to this is only restarting the computer instead of reinstalling. No other “tweaking” other than a restart/reboot proves to work. Some reported success on the first restart, some reported success on the third restart.

There are those who cant get it fixed regardless either, hopefully someone finds out what causes this.

Asides from that, keep it installed inside your computer. Maybe one day you’ll click it and it decides to stop breaking.

Q: Text doesn’t match with voice in x scene

A:Get the latest version of the patch here. This generally happens if you got your patch elsewhere.

Q: This cursor SUCKS / How do I switch resolution?

Q: My font selection choice is empty! What do!? / The menu bar above does not appear for me, I can’t work on step 3 to use the correct font.



A: Put this file into your ikikoi save folder, which is located at:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\枕\いきなりあなたに恋している\

For windows 7

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\枕\いきなりあなたに恋している\

For windows xp

This will force the game to use the custom font. Only do this after you installed the custom font included in the patch.

Q: Are there any alternatives to the Ikikoi Custom Font?

A:Yeah, the game uses the same engine as Grisaia. So you can install GrisaiaCustom.tff that’s used in the Grisaia translation project and you’ll see a choice to choose GrisaiaCustom in the font selection drop down.

Q: ERROR 1503 WHAT DO

A:Please.

Q: I’m a computer retard how do I use the No-dvd (This is an actual question raised repeatedly)

A: It’s a no-dvd, where do you think it goes? In the game folder. What do you think you should do to make it work? Click it.
