The continuing saga of Takuya Aihara and his unlucky sex changes.
Take on the role of Takuya Aihara, the unlucky chemistry student at Miyanomori High School, who has a tendency to get caught in bizarre chemistry accidents that cause him many problems. When a strange chemical turned him into a girl last year, he had a bizarre string of experiences as he learned “how the other gender lived.” Now, one year later, he is enjoying his high school life with Asuka, his steady girlfriend. But unhappy days are around the corner, as chemistry club member Chisato uses him as a guinea pig for a new experiment, which changes him into a girl once again! As a girl, he will find himself much more popular than before, but with practically everyone around him (both male and female) yearning to have sex with him.
Meet the old familiar faces, as well as many new characters and erotic plot lines. The shy boy Kouji, whose virginity Takuya took last year on the roof of the school, bides his time waiting for his chance. Then there’s Mr. Sano, the teacher known for his interest in his female students, and he’s got his eyes set on Takuya. What will he do when he encounters Maiko-chan, a girl whose confusion about men has led her to prefer girls? What about the shy Megumi, who confesses that she’s in love with Takuya’s male self? And while all this is going on, Takuya’s trying to keep his tenuous relationship with Asuka intact, which isn’t easy, to say the least. The biggest danger is that the changes to his body will become permanent if he doesn’t change back soon — but how can he find a way to become a man again?

Plot—-
The plot is very similar to the first one. The Main Character becomes a female again, then must find a way to return back to normal. While completing tasks and interacting with various characters most of them being new. The pacing is well done, although some of the scenes feel like they are being dragged on for longer than they should or just that there are too many adult scenes. The characters are well thought of, some of them are very likable although a few newer characters will just make you wish they weren’t in the game to begin with. The story is so similar that there is barely anything original going on, some puzzles are original though even if they are annoying. The Story again is very linear and very easy to follow and understand. Length is much longer than the first game. In fact it’s too long, by the middle of the game you will find yourself asking when will it be over.
Presentation—–
Visuals are great same artist who created the artwork from the first game. Nicely done. Music is also well done even though i had a feeling that it was somewhat similar to the first game’s soundtrack. The Sound FX sucks, its exactly the same as the previous one and gets super annoying after a while.
Mechanics——
Being a Visual Novel the ease of use is great, click the button to progress and use the mouse to pick your choices. Due to the length of the game and the fact that the story is very similar to the first game lowers the replayability. There are still many different endings to choose from but the game long and somewhat boring at times.
