In one sentence, Aokana EXTRA1 is a VN that shows off insane production values to showcase the insane moe levels emitted by a certain Arisaka Mashiro.
They had produced something truly special with the track played on the menu screen, at least for the first half of the track. Perhaps the tone for the first half of the track was not very fitting thematically and emotionally, but it is a pleasure to listen every time EXTRA1 is launched.
Aokana as a moege is one of the rare moeges out there that does not heavily rely... Read more »
Specifically, from what I recall:
- The notion that ""skinship"" between girls is now okayand Masaya gets aroused by the sight of what he assumes to be Mashiro about to kiss Rika. Probably wouldn't feel jealous if he saw them fucking each other either.
- In his internal narration, Masaya expresses hopes for Mashiro's chest to grow bigger... Read more »
Easy 9/10 just for the sheer quality the game brings, 10/10 if you are a Mashiro fan like me.
There pretty much zero FC related stuff though just slice of life
IF you love Mashiro, you will love this.
Therefore, for an expansion of a single route in a VN I will say it's worth to buy this, and even if you didn't like the character who is getting all the attention here I'd say that this VN for all its worth, is not a buy you'll regret (that is if you don't have the price inflated).
As an expansion or an ''Extra'' the new OST it's rather fenomenal.
I can't get over how good 皆がいるか (Mina ga Iru Kara) sounds, it's really good, definitely the best OST in all AOKANA IMO.
Retains the same feel as her route from the VN though it lacks the exciting FC focus that made up the backbone of the original. This is made up by the comedy being a bit more on point, the diabetes inducing sweetness (and that’s not a phrase I use lightly) that Mashiro displays here and the ridiculously high production values; probably can’t go a few minutes without stumbling across a CG here. It’s a fairly light-hearted underconfidence story but the fact that it’s fundamentally Mashiro’s story with her taking up most of the viewpoint and interacting with the rest of the cast (and therefore less time spent with the mediocre bland protagonist) made it decently entertaining.

In my review of Aokana, I mentioned that sometimes the romance scenes were overly long and tangential, distracting from the good parts - its realistic portrayal of the mental and emotional aspects of competition. Mashiro's route was definitely one of the bigger offenders, but not to the point where I felt like there was no merit to reading her route. Here, though, that issue is cranked up to eleven - no, twelve. This is pure, saccharine romance with none of the substance that made the original unique and memorable.
I suppose, if you were into Aokana for the romance (And why? There's hardly any there!), you'll enjoy this. For people looking for an experience akin to the original, avoid this like the plague.
