Well first, my recommendation comes for the type of story that it handles, 18trip is not a rhythm game but it does have cool music and idols going through traumatic events and weird stuff like aliens and reincarnation Sorry if there are any mistakes,eng is not my first language

Also this is a little intro from me, its not very professional its just for anyone who is curious about it without giving a lot of details The story follows the MC (Momiji ♀️ or Kaede ♂️ you can choose the gender of the protagonist, but the other still exists as the sibling)

The MC decides to help their childhood friend, Kafka, to revitalize tourism in their area managing their own agency and creating 4 groups, each one in charge of a specific area, and all with the theme of different times of the day

R1ZE The morning group, i would say that the main theme of this group is new beginnings, all of them were already in charge of their HAMA ward, Except for Ten hes just there ig

Kafka Oguro Ok first this guy has Chiaki kobayashi as his seiyu i love him a lot, he spent his childhood in the hospital due to his illness, i would say hes one of the funniest characters in the game, he is the MCs childhood friend so he loves them sm

which can be read as romantic tbh bro has an obvious cursh) He also has beef with Yukikaze as he is the MCs cousin He is a genius who has some pretty crazy ideas to achieve his goal of making HAMA the best tourist area

Ten Murakumo Another enstars seiyu here with Yoshiki Nakajima, this is the kind of character that the whole fandom claims to hate, but its a lie bc we love him as a well written character

Ok now, this guy is a piece of shit, he doesnt like to work, but is constantly doing various jobs (ill let you find out which ones when you read the story) hes constantly dating girls that he dumps later (we should beat him for that(

Hes not the kind of character who expresses his thoughts very openly so you will have to read between the lines sometimes to understand him I apologize for his behavior 🙇

Yukikaze Kamina - CV: Toshinari Fukamachi He is the MCs cousin, genuinely the sweetest guy ever, he wants to be a big brother to everyone around him He is a professional ice skater, besides that he is a great cook and likes to play tcg

Personal note is that at the beginning he was the character that least caught my attention but now he is one of my favorite characters fr he melts my heart i think it is impossible to hate him if you hate him you die and go to hell

Renga Nishizono - CV: Jin Ogasawara Best Guy in the game (hes my fav) Renga is a model/celebrity, at first he seems like a very proud and arrogant person, but under that hes a very lovable guy with a dogboy type personality

Without spoilers he has a very interesting lore very explored in main story, also ten seems to have interest in him uhh wonder why...

Lu Liguang - CV: Masaaki Mizunaka Chinese Mafia guy who despite looking tough cares deeply for others around him, if you are wondering which characters have crazy lore this is the guy you are looking for

He has bunnies that he loves sm and he is very real bc he respects women not like others cofcof ten cofcof He also seems to have some problems with renga and doesnt seem to like him mm i wonder what the reason is im sure its something completely normal

DAY2 The afternoom group, they all go to a prestigious high school and yeah they are the only minors they all are 16 They all have a passion that is very important to them, tbh i would describe them as an autistic teenager group but i wont elaborate here

Akuta Isotake - CV: Shuichi Uchida A film lover that wants to be intergalactic director, he is a silly, loud and positive guy, his films have pretty crazy scripts and he wants to achieve greater fame

He is good at encouraging others, but he also carries his own problems He is my second favorite i need to take care of him and give him all the good things in the world god hes so cute

Kiroku Kinugawa - CV: Yugo Sato A very shy artist who makes very unique art, it seems that sometimes he speaks with the puppets that he usually carries in his hand Some crazy lore here too so i dont want to spoil 🙇

If you like this guy you are lucky bc the two events centered on day2 focus on him, and his last card is currently in gacha!!

(Pause bc im reaching tweet limit i will be back soon!!)

Nanaki Nanamegi - CV: Takeo Otsuka A popular pretty boy with passion for music, most of the in-universe songs are composed by him, BISEXUAL KING (but i think the explanation for that would be spoiler help)

He is sensitive and very connected to love He is also Kuguri's younger cousin!

Muneuji Kaguya - CV: Toshiki Kumagai Bishounen boy who likes astronomy, he is a member of the student council, and despite his handsome appearance he often wears an space helmet

Really good student, polite but sometimes airheaded, he is really interested in space, and that interest has certain motives ... Also he is Ushio's childhood friend!!

Ushio Kurama - CV: Hayato Dojima Ushio makes sweets and desserts, the reasons will surprise you, he is an unfriendly guy who is constantly criticizing others (especially adults), but he is good i promise He is a fudanshi (yeah he likes bl im not joking )

He has a favorite ship from a manga (one of us fr fr), and he is smart bc if he finds something from a ship he doesnt like he just blocks and moves on, you should do the same He is Muneuji's childhood friend!!

EV3NS The evening group, we have reached the idol part, but they are not normal idols, they are a group of prisoner idols, each one was arrested for a different crime Their part of the story has some themes about oneself and love

Raito Kitakata - CV: Haruki Ishiya Ex-delinquent from a wealthy family with good people skills Very important, he is aromantic!! this is an important topic for the character and one that is talked about in the story

I have too many things to say about him, but i think its better to read it yourself, in my opinion, hes one of the best written characters in the game
