Don't get me wrong - it's not awesome. But for the price, you get a pretty good deal. The game is super-linear, not particularly challenging, and has adequate art. (The music's pretty good, though!)
The basic storyline is fairly easy to follow, even if you know exactly zero Japanese: a knight is taking a bath, her stuff gets stolen/scattered, and she's gotta beat up some monsters and bandits to get it all back. Beyond that, you're going to need a better grasp of the language than I have; it's not crazy-hard, but you probably won't know all the kanji from taking classes in school.
There's really not much more to say about it. There's no real penalty for losing, and the entire gallery unlocks when you beat the game. Recovery items are pretty straightforward, with a number and "MP" or "HP" or "TP" in the description; ones that have a really low number are recover-over-time items, and they're actually pretty useful. Spells are, from top to bottom and left to right: heal, def up, atk up, evade up, weaken enemy. When you get new weapons, your techniques change some, but it's pretty easy to figure out which ones are worthwhile.
It wasn't the best thing I ever played, but it kept me interested for an hour or two, and I don't regret buying it.
