"Is It Okay to Fall in Love with an Idol?" is a fresh new romantic comedy visual novel.

To succeed in their debut live concert, romance with the active idols is strictly forbidden... But love flags are popping up left and right, and the members start with MAX affection!

It's a chaotic romantic comedy with a "no dating" rule—a first in the otome game genre (perhaps!?)!

Your Goal: Select choices that increase the Live Success Rate to guide the story toward a successful debut!

Reviews
this was my gateway to otome games. it's quite a short game, however because of that I think it's fairly priced (purchased while on sale). overall, I think it was very cute and the characters are likeable. I absolutely love this art style so visually I really enjoyed the game. the voice acting is excellent! I do wish there was significantly more content and story, but the point of this dating sim was for it to be short. regardless, it was enjoyable! there are multiple endings, depending on which boy you want to romance. I thought it was pretty fun to romance all of them. i was definitely left with wanting more time with the boys. I wish to see more otome games with this art style and content.
Such a cute, short, and funny game overall. If you wanted something quick and lighthearted and you love idols, this one's for you. I do wish the game was a bit longer though. Hopefully Mikimaki can consider adding a DLC that expands the routes in the future. Now to the character thoughts for the route that I wanted to play the most: [spoiler]I like how accessible Reiji's route is. He's the only guy I truly wanted to date in the game (and the only reason why I downloaded this game to begin with), so knowing that his lore is about him an ex-idol that the MC loves and eventually the both of them falling in love with each other is just so peak. Needed more of those two so much I love Reiji a LOT.[/spoiler]
