No, Thank You!!! - PC Game

No, Thank You!!! is an adult Boys' Love visual novel developed by Parade — a subsidiary of the acclaimed eroge studio ClockUp — and one of the most celebrated BL titles ever officially released in English. The story begins with an act of selfless heroism: the protagonist dives in front of a car to save a stranger, takes the hit, and wakes up with no memory of who he is. The man he saved turns out to be Kouichi Inui, the owner of a cozy Tokyo jazz bar called sótano, who takes in his amnesiac rescuer out of gratitude, gives him a job, and lets his coworkers christen him Haru. What Haru doesn't know yet is that sótano is more than a bar — it doubles as a private detective agency — and that the cases they work will slowly draw out memories and truths about who Haru really is, and why a man with no past seems to be very good at things no ordinary person should know how to do. Four love interests — bartender Hiroyuki, detective Ryu, chef Maki, and bar owner Kouichi himself — each have fully developed routes with multiple endings, and the game shifts from warm, comedic slice-of-life into something considerably darker as the story deepens.

No, Thank You!!! features over 3,000 hand-drawn CGs by artist Hamashima Shigeo — known previously for her work on mainstream eroge titles, making this her first BL release — giving the game a visual richness that stands apart from most visual novels in either genre. The game's signature mechanic is the titular "No, Thank You!!!" button: at key story moments, instead of a traditional choice, the game presents players with the option to actively refuse the expected "good route" decision and push back against the narrative — a meta-choice system that subverts standard visual novel convention and opens up hidden story branches. The game is fully voiced in Japanese with an English text localization by MangaGamer, and features quality-of-life additions uncommon at the time of its release including ten quicksave slots, autosave, and an audio auto-mute when the window is minimized. The soundtrack, composed for the game and performed in full, features an opening theme performed by milktub.

Originally released in Japan by Parade on June 28, 2013, No, Thank You!!! received its official English release from MangaGamer on February 27, 2015 — at the time, one of the highest-profile BL visual novel localizations ever undertaken for the English market. This Limited Edition physical release includes: the game and full soundtrack on a two-disc set with two-sided DVD cover artwork, a 40-page mini artbook (7.5" x 5.3"), and a limited edition slipcase. The soundtrack contains 22 tracks. The Limited Edition was published by MangaGamer and sold exclusively through their store and select physical retailers. As a niche physical release from a specialty publisher, complete copies in good condition have become increasingly difficult to find.
