My project for YaoiJam 2022!
The initial version of this VN was completed 2 months between July 1st and September 1st 2022 (Though I have plans to continue to update it in the future!)
It was super interesting to see what I could accomplish in 2 months! I've documented the progress if anyone's interested in seeing how everything went on a week to week basis.

MY LORD I LOVE THIS GAME, MY OBSESSION WITH YAOI IS SEVERE AND THIS IS THE MOST YAOI IVE EVER EXPERIENCED, CREATOR THANK YOU SOSOSOOSOSOO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS, CONSIDER ME AS THE BIGGEST FAN BECAUSE IM LITERALY SITTING IN MY ROOM GIGGLING FROM HAYDEN SAYING HE LOVES ARLEY
Esta en español?😔
this is such an awesome game, its the first bl game ive ever played and ive been looking for similar stuff for like 30 minutes x3 the characters r super likeable and its really cute! thanks ekkoberry :3
i am a 28 year old black man working for road construction and wanted to relax playing a game. i do not regret it.
youre so real unc
I just had to name myself as Jagdpanzer E100.
very good
Ahhh so cute!! Thank you very for drawing him!! :0 <333
Your welcome!! I can’t believe u replied to my comment ur one of my fav game devs ever and your art is sooo good I’d love to see more JKHA content if u can!!<333
I appreciate the fanart a lot!! And aah thank you >< I'm flattered-- And more is on the way! I'm currently working on expanding out the game, actually! The script has more than doubled in size with a bit of a bigger cast-- I'm hoping to release it sometime this year!!
that sound so cool!! I'm so excited to see this game get expanded on, do you have any ideas for what you're doing or any estimate for a release date?
A couple more side characters and weekend segments, along with a couple more shenanigans going on and a couple more POV sections (like at the end of the current version of the game).
Most of it's written already (I've got about another 10k to go (?)) and I'm now just working on the necessary art assets although my speed's slowed down a bit now I have a full time job ><
Ideally I'd like it out for JKHA's anniversary (Beginning of September) but I'll just have to see how things go-- Not to plug, but I do have updates over on Patreon if you'd be interested! (My progress posts are free so I don't think(?) you need to sign up to see what I'm up to? www.patreon.com/c/ekkoberry
Hi! I’ve sent you an email at ekkoberry@gmail.com regarding a request to translate Just Kiss Him Already! into Chinese.
I’m leaving a comment here in case the email didn’t reach you. Thank you for your time, and for making such a lovely game!
i saw a youtube video of the yuri version of this game so i got curious to try the yaoi version
Tuffest Game ever
So cute! I love it!
YOU SHOULD TOTALLY MAKE A 2 !!! IT WOULD BE LIKE SO COOL
CINEMA
Very cute game thank's
i love how you can name your character anything it made the game so much more screenshot worthy
This was so cute >:D

I loved how the notes kept changing was rlly fun xD
( Tho idk what happens with them at the end lol, is that intentional? Kinda confused me )
Also thank you Nala for the advice.
O jogo tem versão pra português?
In Spanish please 😞
Cute VN, I liked it.
никогда бы не подумал что жкх может быть таким милым
bakugo and deku?
no
OMG LOL
no
yes
no
Habra una actualización para jugarlo en español? / Will there be an update to play it in Spanish?
MAKE A SEQUEL PLS!!!😭
I really enjoyed the contrast between Arley and Harden — they totally give off that fun "happy-go-lucky x student council president" vibe, and it makes their interactions so entertaining. I also love how blunt the MC is — it's honestly hilarious at times for some reason and adds a fun layer to the interactions. Moreover, Nanala is honestly way too relatable. The story itself is light and enjoyable, but I do wish there was more fluff and tension to spice things up a bit. It feels like there’s so much potential for those extra romantic moments. Still, I had a great time playing!
emmett is my name (not the one saved on my pc) and i got so fucking scared on how they knew dude i wish someone had seen my facial expression
HOLY CRAPPATRON STARTED THE GAME DESTERYAY AND FINISHED IT TODAY AND EIGDJUGHDS THAT WAS SO FARTING GOOD I WANT THAT ROMANCE OMFG BADDIE (On a more serious note, that was f-ing beautiful.)
They look like bakudeku 😭
no
yes
BKDK MENTIONED
where
the comment
OMG YESS THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT
no
their like the prototypes of bakudeku 😭
I love it
i love the caracthers, but the story is kinda mid and the game would be better if it wasnt a romance beteewn Hayden and Arley
uh wdym
thats the whole point bruh
it was probably on purpose but this feels like an AU of the gays from "unfriendly hater"(vocaloid song).I used to be obsessed w it so I get why I love ts sm now...
OMG I WAS THINKING THE SAME THINGG
I got a notif that the game may make my computer tweak out and surprisingly it actually did.But ts FIREEE worth the tweaking out
This was so cute, Nanala is my fav
This is a really good game
bl game with a gl sequel??HELL YEA
It was a very cute, relaxing, and warm. Also the characters are really well-written. The characters are like the characters of a series. I really loved them all. AND the story was very good, and it was long compared to other games, which I liked. I really like that characters have different expressions not like rest of the other games. Other games have the same expression and don't have any good characters that make you love them and are very boring. I really advise trying this game. ❤️❤️🙃👋Bye
gosh is this a good story. not a game, story. visual novel in its 2implest form, no interactions, just dialogue and sprites. but GOSH is it a good story, the beginning is just enough to tell what role each character takes, who does what and so on, while still being short. BUT when the game reaches the halfway mark... i dont even know how much times i bit my nails and paused to process/react to something in gmae. 10/10 gmaes
is the character we play as is a male or a female? Im so confused
pretty sure its a they, so enby i guess
you can imagine its either i think but i like to imagine the character is enby
Had a fun time "playing"? this game lol. About an hour of run time. Give it a try but, if you don't want to, watch me do it instead!
peak
hhhhhh does this remind anyone else of the song unfriendly hater?? i love that song and i love this game so badly so i say this is a win
Started the game for 1 minute and that was my immediate first thought glad I'm not the only one
