Honestly, a visual novel about cleaning product idols is such a bizarrely genius idea that it loops back around to being cool. It's a perfect example of how gaming can turn even the most mundane stuff into something unexpectedly engaging.
Only Japan could make me care about dish soap's idol debut, and honestly, I'm here for it. This kind of weird, charming marketing is exactly why I keep an eye on their gaming scene.
