The topic of romantic and physical love between siblings (in this case, two very different sisters who first meet when they were about 18 and 17) is treated in a very sensitive and earnest way. It never gets cheesy or lewd and clearly has it's focus on describing and discussing the mental and societal struggles of two persons in love who happen to be sisters. The character development is perfect.
Even the H-scenes are very tasteful and the text for them is completely lacking the moaning and panting hell many other H-vn use. They are placed at logical points in the story and don't leave the impression to be there as a f**ping template. If you bought this vn for these reasons, you won't like it. It's serious stuff - seriously.
"Love Ribbon" is at the very top among the many vn I read/played.
There are only two endings, the "bad" one depending on just one of the very few choices relatively early on. It doesn't matter at all. After all, this is a novel more than anything else.
