SonoHana Light
It's a nice little introduction into the Sono Hanabira franchise, however it arguably might be more suited to people who are already fans of the franchise. It plays out the same way as the main entries, but without the lewd elements. Frankly, there is not much to it. Girl meets girl, they attract each other, but their different personalities cause them to clash (while tying them even more to each other), there's a bit of drama (but nothing major) and at the end, they're pretty lovey-dovey (while still having differences). The absence of sex scenes, with nothing (like a bigger or more dramatic storiy) to balance it out, is a rather noticeable flaw. This makes "Remembering How We Met" a nice all-ages alternative, but certainly not the highest point of the franchise. What remains is a sweet and cute little yuri story and that has always been Sono Hanabira's main appeal. If you like such things, then this VN could really be to your liking (especially if you don't like hentai, which would render the majority of the series unappealing). However, if you're not already a fan of Sono Hanabira (possibly even then), it might be better to wait for a sale. Aside from having a rather low-key story, this VN is very short and doesn't even contain choices (although since there are never different routes or endings, they've always been rather pointless in Sono Hanabira). By now, there's another game in the franchise available in English, called "Maidens of Micheal". It's much bigger and better than this one and previous SonoHana titles and worth playing even without the lewder elements (although it has those too). I sure hope that it will get on GOG too some time.
