Aokana - Four Rhythms Across the Blue, known in Japan as Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm , officially abbreviated as Aokana (あおかな) and translated as Four Rhythms Across the Blue, is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by Sprite and released for Windows on November 28, 2014. The game was ported to the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. The plot follows high school student Masaya Hinata as he coaches fellow students Asuka Kurashina, Misaki Tobisawa, Mashiro Arisaka, and Shion Aoyagi in the sport of "flying circus", wherein competitors travel through the sky via shoes with anti-gravity properties. Depending on the route taken, Masaya can enter a romantic relationship with either Asuka, Misaki, Mashiro, or Rika Ichinose, a student from a rival school and his neighbor.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Aokana is basically the Super Bowl if every player involved had some emotional childhood trauma or insecurity and the halftime show was a televised re-run of Oreimo. Tbh the visuals are super crisp and stunning but the story is so-so ... After Asuka route alone I felt satisfied with what it had to offer, the rest is just fluff. Still recommend if its on sale and you want a moege about flying tag I guess.
A very enjoyable visual novel and definitely worth trying. The pacing is a bit slow, but it gives the game a calm and relaxing feel, with a good mix of school romance, sports, and comedy. The visuals, animations, and music are all very well done, and the voice acting is especially good. The story isn’t overly complicated, but it does a great job of making you care about the characters. Overall, it was a really pleasant experience, especially for anyone who enjoys romance and slice-of-life games.
You really have to love sports for this one and I am not a fan of that but I still enjoyed Aokana. The teacher really saved this for me, she needs her own visual novel. If you are looking for something with romance this is not really it so don't waste your money BUT it is silly, so if you like that then do waste your money. I will be honest the mc is boring but the characters around him are what makes this a pretty decent visual novel. Anyways, the music, art and comedy was 10/10. (FREEDOM FROM THIS FINALLYY)
