HoneyComing

HoneyComing (ハニーカミング, HanīKamingu) is an adult Japanese visual novel developed by Hooksoft which was released on June 29, 2007, for Windows.

The gameplay in HoneyComing follows a plot line which offers pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the five female main characters.

There have been three manga adaptations based on HoneyComing published by ASCII Media Works and Kadokawa Shoten.

Every so often, the player will come to a "decision point" where he or she is given the chance to choose from options that are displayed on the screen, typically two to three at a time.

Amusement Mode is intended for beginners where each of the heroines will have a favorable impression, and an icon on the screen shows the player how far in the game they have progressed.

The Feeling Mode does not have an icon to show how far the player has progressed, and is seen as the typical setting for an adult visual novel.

HoneyComing's story revolves around the protagonist Kōichirō Ogata, a male first-year high school student who does not have any interest in matters such as love or romance.

Since the school used to only have female students, there are certain classes oriented towards girls which are still required to take, such as lessons on love and romance.

Each lesson, two people (of the opposite sex) pair up to make something, such as a meal for example, and they must form good communication if they intend to pass the test.

During these lessons, students from Aikyō, and a nearby affiliated junior-high school, are combined for a total range of six grades from the lowest to the highest.

Each time, forty new students from either school are chosen to take part in a special class for the Love-making Lessons.

The students in the special class this year include: Kōichirō, Asahi, Clarissa, Mio, Yuma, Marino, Kaoru, Masanori, and Hiroko.

The art director for the game was Shitano, but the character artwork was headed by Makako Matsushita, and Racco.

The full game was first introduced in Japan as a limited edition version on June 29, 2007 as a DVD playable on a Microsoft Windows PC.

[10] A version of HoneyComing without adult content playable on the PlayStation 2 was published by Kadokawa Shoten and released on September 3, 2009 titled SweetHoneyComing.

The first series is written by Jōji Kamio, with illustrations by Makako Matsumoto and Rakko, and is published by GoodsTrain under their TwinTail Novels label.

The book includes a promotional illustration gallery, a character and story introduction, interviews with staff and voice actors, and more.

[26] Five character song CDs under the main title of HoneyComing First Impression were released; each CD covers one of the heroines from the game.

[32] In the October 2007 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, poll results for the fifty best bishōjo games were released.
