  Ok I'm not going to lie, if I saw this 2 months back I would think, "Nope boring, don't like dating sims," Then I bought Dandelion Wishes Brought to You, and it opened my eyes to how funny and sweet these games are, they're not just so silly girls fantasy, most of them have a really good story and good/funny charters that you can't help but fall in love with. And this is another, I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did but I love it, I have laughed so much from this game it hurts and yes tears have fallen from my eyes. The art style might not be the best but it's simple and that's nice. I now love dating simes because most of the time they have a better story then some shooters or other games, and the best part is that their is more then one story, since there are different charters everyone will have thier favourites and their least favourite which is the best part. (My favourite is Damien, what can I say deamon boys capture my heart hahah :3 ) So if you want to have a laugh and not rage quit buy this game I will guarantee that at least a part of this game will make you laugh, if it doesn't well done to you, because I'm in stiches. :3

  + I love the humor + Equal opportunity routes + Memorable characters + Great use of magic theme + Interesting lore/world building and magic system + Uses simplified character customization which includes a body type for big gals which is something that is rarely included in games, I was very impressed by this simple choice. + A lot of replayability. The cheat system is a big help to see hidden scenes +/- I got used to the art style fairly quickly, it didn't bother me after an hour or so of playing - Single CG is recycled, romance is very brief - Too many useless spells and not enough opportunities to use them - You only play through your freshman year. It leaves you wanting to play more.

  To be enjoyed both ironically and unironically, 'Magical Diary' is truly the perfect gift for any occasion. Featuring more animes per second, with only a fraction of the overreaching schmaltz found in second-rate indie competitors like 'To the Moon,' 'Magical Diary' pulls out all the stops and delivers a magical, one-of-a-kind experience that'll have you saying "I actually don't hate this...?" for years to come. Is there a demonic wizard bishie waiting in your future? Only one way to find out... 'Magical Diary' gets one Steam Thumb way up from this reviewer.

  I liked parts of this game and disliked other parts. Pros: - Different & unique romance options! I loved that I could go for one of my female roommates. :) - You get to customize your characters hair, eyes, and body type. This makes the protagonist feel more "yours." - The characters get put in absolutely hilarious situations. - Your choices in the plot certainly have a big impact and can lead you to many different routes, so replay value is deifnitely there. - The "magical school" setting is unique compared to some other dating sims. Cons: - I felt like the personality traits were worthless. I saw no point in getting points in the "cute/weird/smart" categories because they don't seem to affect anything. - The magical tests never seem to get interesting/complex. - Art was subpar. The characters all look similar in the face and their appearance doesn't change a whole lot. It starts to feel monotonous. - There are huuuuge chunks of dialogue/description with no pictures sometimes, which gets annoying. With such a cool, magical setting, I would expect to actually see some of the magic going on. Unfortunately, you never do. This is what makes this dating sim way less enjoyable than ones like Dandelion, which go above and beyond with scenery and drawing out pivotal scenes. The only time Magical Diary shows you a picture to go with a scene is if you kiss somebody, which for me, was only twice. Overall: If you tend to like visual novels or dating sims, this one is worth a try, especially if you value the choice to either date men or women. However, don't expect this game to knock your socks off. It's entertaining, but somewhat underwhelming at times.

  OK, so even if you aren't into Harry Potter Fanfics, and even if you're a guy, there's something to enjoy in this game. (You know, so long as you're a guy who is fine with playing a female character trying to get a date in a very LGBT-friendly setting.) The character creator is fun, if a bit limited. The sheer fact that it has a character creator at all is a big advantage this game has, and I have no idea why it's not a more popular idea. Most accessories, however, have to be purchased in-game, and have stats associated with them, so if you wanted to wear glasses, you can, but they cost money, and if you wore some stupid-looking giant star glasses, you might get more of the stats you want... Cat paws look dumb, but they give massive boosts to (nature-related) Green magic, so it's sometimes that old World of Warcraft "killer clownsuit" choice between aesthetics and effectiveness. Choices are very diverse, although some aspects of your past aren't up for your choosing. Most of the time, however, your choices amount to which classes you go to, and which stats you therefore train, with the occasional tests that demand specific skills. The dungeons are perhaps the best part of the game, and are presented in a Wizardry-style, but where your spells are tested as a puzzle. Each school of magic gives different methods of solving a given puzzle, so practically any choice of magic schools will be correct if you just have enough of it to get a diverse enough set of spells. That said, there are some dissapointments. It feels like the dungeon sections could have been expanded so much more, and the game would have been better for it. The spells you collect are like puzzle pieces begging for some clever puzzle they can unlock, and the first few dungeons you go through feel like a warm-up for some truly challenging puzzle to come... and then the game says that you completed them all, and yay for your happy ending. I felt a bit robbed of a chance to have some big climactic moments where that huge book full of spells could save the day, and instead just got a final exam where they checked the size of my book and said, yeah, you passed.

  So, there's a romance path where you basically get to romance Severus Snape. If that weren't enough: gender sensitivity, gender neutral pronouns, LGBTQ relationships, lots of racial diversity (as much as any game with anime/cartoon sprites can have, anyway), and a genuinely cute story on most of the paths. Or a genuinely disturbing one, depending on your options. If you liked Long Live the Queen, or games like it, you'll definitely enjoy this one. (And now to cut this review off so I can go back to exploring as many paths as possible!)

  Studied a lot, still ended up a bad student. Was very suspicious of the winged boy, not sure if he was legit. Decided to trust him. Accidentally a married, lost my chance at wing boy. Spent a long time being sad. Decided to just roll with it. Husband was alright. Still managed to fail every single test despite being married to the teacher. Finished game a complete failure. Where did the last 5 hours of my life go? 10/10 Would be a failure again.

  Accidentally married Snape in a dark dungeon below the school, then continued to wallow in self-pity for the rest of the playthrough until reloading, fixing my mistake, getting sacrificed to the bloodgod, reloading again and spending the rest of my days as a socially awkward lesbian witch. Not that I mind. 10/10, got my bra stolen by the Illuminati at some point.

  Magical Diary is a anime graphic novel roleplaying game set in a life and school simulation. This is a pretty specific genre, but surprisingly there's some competition. After playing through Magical Diary I cannot give it a recommendation. Compared to games like Academagia and Long Live the Queen, Magical Diary is has a story that's too linear, gameplay that's too simplistic, and RPG mechanics that are too shallow. It might be good for younger audiences, but for those who enjoy the challenge of life simulators in a graphic novel RPG experience - this game just isn't going to cut it. I hope that the developer produces a second year sequel to this title and addresses these concerns. If so, I'll come back and edit this review with a qualified recommendation. Until then, play one of Magical Diary's superior competitors instead.
