[Illusion of Itehari] Mostly spoiler-free DLC review (minor spoilers)

SpoilerDiscussion

Context

In the JP release of Utakata no Uchronia, there were two DLCs of short stories. In the US release of Illusion of Itehari, the first DLC was included in the base game (Menu > Extra Content). The second DLC is available on the Nintendo eShop for USD $9.99.

These are mostly text stories with voice, comparable to the Short Stories in the Gallery. You can access them from Menu > Extra Content. They are slightly longer than the stories in Extra Content Vol 1 and contain CGs. It took me about half an hour to finish all of them.

Yashiro

Plot: >!Yashiro and Hinagiku agree on a date but he had to bail due to work. It's late when he's finally free so he lets himself in through the window again lol. Hinagiku pulls him into her bed to hide them from Awayuki (?!), but the story ends before anything spicy happens!<.

Commentary: It's cute. Contains some more detail on Yashiro's internal thoughts during some events of the game. >!Tsuyukusa giving him all the sweets is NOT generous, because from Tsuyukusa's DLC 1 you find out Tsuyukusa does NOT like sweets hahaha!<.

CG: It's the one you see on the eshop. It's cute, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Tobari

Plot: >!Hinagiku was staring at Tobari's face while he had a nap. He pulls her close. Cute moment complimenting each others appearances!<.

Commentary: Spent a little too long recapping the politics of his route. At least they flirt with each other a bit?

CG: >!It's a closeup of Tobari's face!<. They are close...-ish? It's ok.

Awayuki

Plot: >!Hinagiku and Awayuki go to the tea room, then to the tailor. Hinagiku asks Awayuki to choose a dress for her. She has trouble with her dress and asks for his help in the dressing room. Awayuki helps her but warns her not to tempt him!<.

Commentary: >!OMG flashing the wrists is so scandaloussss!!! lol!<

CG: A slightly aggressive CG of >!Awayuki holding her chin!<. Pretty good for Awayuki fans. Nothing spicy >!like the end of his route though!<.

Yori

Plot: >!Yori whines about work meetings!<.

Commentary: lol

!Can't feel too sorry for Mr. Snide himself catching snide comments from other nobles. All of his complaints about Karatachi apply to himself too!<.

CG: Surprisingly wholesome. >!Hinagiku kissing Yori's cheek!<.

Tsuyukusa

Plot: >!A noble's car crashes into a commoner's market stall and starts berating him. Hinagiku stands up to the noble and supports the merchant, while Tsuyukusa fixes the car. Tsuyukusa notices Hinagiku sprained her foot and carries her to seek medical attention!<.

Commentary: Very slice of life. One thing newish: >!Tsuyukusa does hold a tiny sliver of resentment for beign Hiragi's "spare", and confirms with Hinagiku that she doesn't want Hiragi over him!<.

CG: It's just okay. >!Tsuyukusa princess-holding Hinagiku!<.

Verdict

Is it worth $10? Not really, no. Might be worth $5 for Yori's story alone if you don't hate Yori.

My biases are Yashiro > Yori > Tsuyukusa > Awayuki > Tobari if that helps you evaluate the objectivity of this review.
