Fox Hime A fox spirit's bittersweet first love

You follow Yan through college days, bookstore work, and slow conversations with two girls who will not say plainly what they want. Mori has stayed with him since he was a child, sometimes quiet like a refined lady, sometimes brisk like a rabbit. Liya carries a weapon everywhere, knows a lot from books, and has little practical experience with people. The pull is simple: one guardian who may have to leave when he grows up, and one newcomer who wants to understand why a deity stays with him at all. It ends bittersweet, and short enough to finish in an evening.

The look does a lot of the work here. Backgrounds and CGs are well-drawn, the main girls are presented with Live2D movement, and menus and loading screens get semi-dynamic touches. You spend your time reading over those illustrated scenes while Mori changes manner from soft to sharp. There is light teasing and glimpsed underwear, but no adult scenes despite the tags. There is also no voice acting, so the music and expressions carry the mood. For visual novel readers who like cute fox girls and gentle daily life with a sad edge, that combination is the reason to try it.
