What's this all about?
'Five in Frills' is a story of a young girl named Minami Ishikawa working as a maid in an old mansion. Locals say that mansion is a rotten place and usually try to avoid it. Do they have reasons or that's just some sort of a local legend? Time will show.But first she has to meet the other four maids working there already.
And I'm so unsure about the proper tags to be used here... It's not that much drama or horror, to think about it

Next novel, if I ever make, should be much less trouble.
The sprites are okay (I'm happy with them), though Chikuma is almost emotionless.Backgrounds are worse, some of them were made in great hurry and I had to use one BG from the free assets.
Didn't have enough time to work on UI at all.
Could be worse, though. As somebody said - the goal of Nano is "done", not "pretty".
