Mental health has fully recovered.” Punching Fish Kawagishi, author of the novel “Life”, experiences a “live-action love game”!
Interview with "Hamikoi," the game!
The maid uniform suited me perfectly.”
Hamkoi – Hamster ni Tsuite Boku to San sisters no Amayami na Hibi” is a live-action romance game with an unprecedented setting: being reincarnated as a hamster and living with three beautiful sisters. We asked a variety of people to play the game prior to the start of distribution.

This time, the experience was shared by author Pachigyo Kawagishi. Kawagishi, whose light novels “Life” and “Sister and the Tentacle” have been made into anime, is in charge of the “Hamkoi” scenario for the “Three Girls Route.
First of all, how did you feel when you saw “Sanyui,” played by Shiori Ikemoto, in action?
She was just adorable! Her voice and gestures are very cute, regardless of the dialogue. You can see Sanyu in various situations, but some of them are too close to each other, which is dangerous from a hamster’s point of view.
Basically, all of the situations are cute, but I especially liked the one in which they were sleeping. It was a very good sleeping figure, and just looking at it, I recovered all my mental energy!”
Sanyui is a pampered youngest character, but she works part-time at a coffee shop. At her part-time job, she shows a different side of herself than she does to her family.
She is the youngest and the sweetest of the three, but at her part-time job she shows a different side to her family. Any suggestions of ‘What’s with this coffee shop, they use maids as uniforms like it’s a matter of course’ disappeared in an instant when I saw her in her maid uniform, which suited her so well. Anyway, I was able to genuinely enjoy the show as a complete outsider!
On the other hand, there are many aspects of the story of the eldest daughter, Marin Ichimaru (Sayaka Tomaru), and the second daughter, Futaba (Momoha Takatsuru), that Kawagishi is not familiar with. The eldest daughter is the mainstay of the family, but actually enjoys cosplay, while the second daughter is a job hunter who is worried about her future. How did you feel about their scenes?
Dreamcast from PlayStation 2
The “glasses Futaba-chan is so cute! The gap between the solid-looking Futaba and …… is great, and I thought that Ichimarin and Sanyu are the best heroines of the series because of Futaba.
Having said that, I think that the eldest sister Ichimarin’s eccentricity fits the concept of this game the best. The game is based on the tricky concept of reincarnating as a hamster, so the older sister Ichimarin is the main heroine who makes you think, “It doesn’t matter how trivial it is! I even feel that way.
Ms. Kawagishi’s excitement is still high. He has always been a SEGA fan since he was a child, and he says he has a “twisted personality. He has been playing Mega Drive instead of Super NES, Sega Saturn instead of PlayStation, and Dreamcast instead of PlayStation 2.
Kawagishi says, “I am better at ‘Virtua Fighter’ than ‘Tekken,’ and my best character was Shun-Tei.
Of course, I would say Sanyu, but I think it’s the eldest sister, Marin Ichimaru (……). What kind of girl is this slightly weird eldest daughter really? What are her dreams? What are her goals? There are many things that were not revealed in the trial version, and I am very interested in the rest of the story. I want to know more about Marin Ichimarin!”
In addition to the third daughter’s route, which Ms. Kawagishi is in charge of, the eldest and second daughter’s routes also reveal their own “secrets. Although “Hamkoi” is set in a world where you are reincarnated as a hamster, it actually includes a mystery-solving element. Finally, we asked him about his overall impression of the demo version.
I was actually very troubled by the sudden disappearance of the big job I had been doing for years. I was depressed and wondered how I could live from now on, but Hamcoy seems to allow me to escape from reality! No, …… I shouldn’t be escaping reality.
Recently, I have published a slightly erotic light novel called “Sister and the Tentacle” (Shogakukan Gaga Bunko), so if you would like to pick it up along with “Hamkoi!”
Distribution is scheduled to begin in mid-July, so be sure to “wishlist” it and wait!
