Suki Desu Suzuki-kun: 4nin no Suzuki-kun (2010). Play online

Summary

When I first saw the cover of Suki Desu Suzuki-kun!! 4nin no Suzuki‑kun for the DS, it struck me as a love‑letter to fans of the original manga. The game, put out by Idea Factory in 2010, swaps the OVA’s voices for an entirely fresh cast, giving each of the four Suzuki protagonists a new spin. What really sweetens the deal is the limited edition – tucked inside is a drama CD where the same voice actors reprise their roles, turning the handheld experience into a miniature audio drama. I appreciate how the developers respected the source material while still adding enough unique content to make the DS version feel like a special event rather than a straightforward port.

Storyline

The game lets you play as Chihiro or Sayaka. It follows an original story not in the manga, set during the summer holidays of the characters’ first year of middle school.

The main cast travels to a vacation villa, where they meet two new Suzuki siblings created by the series artist Ikeyamada: Michiru Suzuki, voiced by Sōichirō Hoshi, and Hiroto Suzuki, voiced by Yuichi Nakamura.

The title “Suki Desu Suzuki‑kun: 4nin no Suzuki‑kun” (often shortened to 4nin no Suzuki‑kun) centers on the interactions between the original group and the new Suzukis as they spend the summer together.
