Review | Time to throw in my shitty opinion. Don't get fooled by high rating, good art and the "this is a cool story about psychology" premises. The story is somewhat interesting at times, but most routes are a mediocore waste of time. It does revolve around psychological problems stuff, but discussed problem of each character is abstract and anime-ish, not the kind of problems you'd face in real life: - A girl feels obliged to go out with the protag because she secretly indebted her life to his sister. - A girl gets second personality in her head after a hearth transplant and suffers the inferiority complex towards this second personality. - A girl becomes obsessed with helping people out after loosing her parents (not so unrelatable issue, but the background explaining how she came to that is clishe and illogical to say the least... same with all other backgrounds actually except for Amane) - A girl stays a child in mind after getting a trauma of being locked in a room with her father's corpse for several days. And this girl is a heir to some super-rich business and does not get affection from her mother. And protag comes to this mother's office with a shotgun to make things right. - ... (I skipped the Sakaki's route as it was told to be the worst in some reviews) Like, if you are actually interested in how people overcome their psychologial illnesses, watch Kuuchuu Buranko, that's where you would receive a serious view on the topic. Now that I reminisce on that, maybe I just get salty and biased, because the first route was Makina's: the shallowest and most unrelated of them all and the only reason I continued reading was "it's in top list, it should get good at some point". Sachiko's and Michiru's had good present time plot of how they overcame their issues, but dullest backgrounds of how they got them. Amane's present time plot only existed to start the flashback storytelling. The slice-of-life moments were fun I guess. |
