Template:Nihongo is a shōjo manga as well as a PlayStation 2 otome game. The manga was created at the same time as the video game, and was drawn by Shiori Yuwa and published in Hana to Yume & The Hana to Yume. The video game used the same character designs and plot in a love simulation published by Capcom in 2004. A sequel to the video game, called Full House Kiss 2, was released in 2006.
Plot
Suzuhara Mugi, a 15-year-old girl, is determined to get onto the campus of the elite Shoukei high school. Mugi is searching for her missing sister—her only remaining family—and she has been led to believe that someone or something on the campus of that school will help her in her search. Unfortunately the strict school security is preventing her from getting onto the school grounds.
However, her luck changes when she runs into Midou-kun, the son of a rich mega-corporation president, and an elite person at the school. Midou is smug and arrogant, but he eventually strikes up a deal with Mugi—he will get her onto the school grounds, but she must come to his house and work as a maid. He lives with 3 other boys, known as the La Princes in the super elite school.
Her optimism and cheerfulness makes her attractive to the four boys. As the manga progresses, the romantic feelings of the boys start surfacing.

Gameplay
Most of the gameplay is focused on housekeeping tasks. Every day after you get back from school, you have chores asked of you by each household member and a finite amount of time to get them done. You do them well or badly depending on choices you make. At the end of the evening, the boys all visit you to report on how you did.
In addition to the chores, you can also 'encounter' the boys in rooms around the house, which can lead to some minigames or just dialogue.
The larger aspect of the game is solving your sister's disappearance. This is done while you're at school, and after school hours. You have to act like a teacher to keep suspicion away, but you also have to investigate.
There is also the dating aspect.[1] Doing the chores well will increase your standing with characters, as will successfully completing the relevant minigame. There are also some scenes with the boys where you have to choose your reactions, which will also make a difference. There are also some events which you can do with one of the boys, usually the one that you have the highest standing with.
