Shizuku was the first game to incorporate "erotic content" into the visual novel genre, using the format used in Otogiriso. It has also been described as similar to the visual novel Kizuato, also produced by Leaf, with themes of bloodshed, violence, and humiliation, with a "dark narrative". The game has also been described as a "landmark" for Leaf, in the company's visual novel genre, and mentioned in the anime adaptation of 16bit Sensation. A grown-up Yusuke and Mizuho make a cameo in the anime adaptation of To Heart: Remember my Memories. In this continuity, Yusuke married Mizuho, only for her to neglect their relationship by focusing more on her work as a robot engineer and later dies in an accident. == Notes ==
