YMMV / Jack Jeanne

Go To

  • Awesome Art: With Sui Ishida in charge of the visuals, it's unanimously agreed that the art in Jack Jeanne is gorgeous.
  • Awesome Music: Fitting for a game taking place at a drama school, the songs are well-sung and varied, from the moving and poignant "Beyond The Plane Tree," the upbeat, catchy "!!!Ghost Party!!!" to the epic and bombastic "Quartz Anima."
  • Fan Nickname: The main character of the one-shot prequel manga Puppet is referred to as Puppet-kun by the fans, since was given no name to reflect the fact that he's been relegated to background roles for Amber performances.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Jack Jeanne is a series that heavily focuses on characters' stories and their interactions. So it's no surprise that there are a few popular pairings that exist outside of Kisa and the main guys.
    • Kisa and Otori is a pretty popular pairing despite the latter starting out as a condescending jerk. However, many fans are very fond of him due to his character development throughout the game and slowly going from a Jerkass to a Jerkass with a Heart of Gold where even someone as pompous as him can't resist complimenting her after their performances later in the game. Combined with occasionally acting as The Sixth Ranger to the main characters, many people wished he had his own route.
    • Fans wished Kasai had his own route due to being a Nice Guy, having a fun design, and for being one of her biggest supporters outside of the Quartz guys. He's also one of the few supporting characters who explicitly confesses his love for her in one of their final meetups which leaves a major impression on the audience.
    • Minorikawa is another popular pairing for Kisa since the former lets up his stern and snarky demeanor when they interact since he's glad to actually practice with someone who's just as earnest and hardworking as him, seeing as he's most likely fed up with how idle his classmates are in comparison.
    • For a pairing that doesn't include Kisa, you have Kai and Fumi. Lots of people tend to pair them due to their past history together and for quite literally being paired together for the summer and autumn performances as they were the main leads. Their contrasting personalities and roles as Team Mom and Team Dad helps too.
  • Foe Yay Shipping: Kisa and Tanakamigi had their interactions oozing with this due to both being upcoming star actors who could potentially take over and be better than Tachibana Tsuki, with Tanakamigi being intrigued by Kisa's talents and believe that she could be the Al Jeanne that could match him.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Mitsuki's mother only appears in his first affection event, but her abusive behavior towards him raises a lot of questions in regards to Mitsuki's upbringing, how it ties into his singing, and his personality as a whole. Mitsuki even mentions in his second affection event that his home life was rough, with it being implied that his mother was a big factor in how it turned out. One would think that the game would go into more detail about this and flesh out why their relationship is so strained, but she never appears again after that.
