Sympathy Kiss is a workplace romance otome game, which means it’s a story-based experience mostly aimed at women. As it’s a romance-themed story, the game is filled with all sorts of characters meant to woo you in numerous ways. That makes for a ton of personalities to craft, putting a ton of pressure on the dev team to keep everyone unique and interesting.

In an interview with Siliconera, Sympathy Kiss Director Hiroe Aoki opened up about the character development process, sharing which character in particular presented the toughest challenges in terms of writing.

Each character presented its own challenges, but the most difficult was perhaps Rokuro Yoshioka. Because he’s extremely wealthy, handsome, and possesses a unique personality, he was quite a demanding character. He seemed almost unreal, like a type of person you would never encounter in real life, so his character development and storyline were the aspects I struggled with the most.
