A Kiss For The Petals – Remembering How We Met

Risa Azumi, a student at St. Michaels was instantly captivated when she spotted the new girl, Miya Ayase. As luck would have it, Risa finds herself not only in the same class as Miya, but also seated right next to her. However, whereas Risa is very serious about school and her studies, Miya is brilliant enough to find it all a bore. Since she is able to effortlessly get full marks on all her tests, Miya takes to skipping class, which is something that Risa, who is also class representative, finds completely unacceptable.

A Kiss For The Petals – Remembering How We Met is the story of how Risa and Miya met for the first time and what happened before they became a cute couple. The story focuses primarily on Risa’s recollection of the events, but the viewpoint does sometime shift to Miya. Remembering How We Met is part of the very popular Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o (A Kiss For The Petals) yuri series, which at the time of writing is in its 9th year in Japan. Although it is one of the newest titles in the long running series it is also starting point, for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, because it centers on the initial meeting of the two characters, no prior knowledge of the series is needed to enjoy the story. The story focusses exclusively on the two girls, to the point where other characters are simply referred to as “Girl A” or “Girl B”. It is also a nice introduction to the yuri genre as the game is suitable for all ages.

Using immaturity and a lack of etiquette in the actions of the characters, multiple examples of irony, and the anticipation of Isabel’s father’s actions which all ultimately lead to a comedic effect, de Botton produces a universal experience that brings humor to the audience while commenting on family dynamics.
