Of course, it is the japanese original.
I actually already played it a lot one and a half year before, but at that time I knew not enough Kanjis in order to understand most of it.
In the meantime, I lost my savegames and thus recently started to play it again from scratch.
The game itself is at least interesting. You play from the point of view of one of three sisters and most of the time you can change the point of view instantly to one of the other two on them. But depending on the current situation, the choices for this "zapping" are also sometimes restricted...
Of course, you can only make decisions for the character whose view you are currently in. All three live together, but at daytime they go separated paths: The oldest sister works in an office at a company and provides the three of them with the money they need to survive, the middle one goes to college and is well known at the tennis-club there and the youngest still attends senior high and is close to graduation.
But because they live together and to some extent also share their feelings, soem decisions in one sister's path causes unexpected results in another one's.
However, you'd better not expect a simple and happy story in Doushin despite its cheerful looking graphics in typical CROWD style. There may be best endings for each of the sisters, but they are at least as hard to get as they are in XC2.
Particularly figuring out when to switch to whom in order to prevent or cause what is the real challenge in this game.
