Review	After going through Mamiya, i've heard this VN from the same company had better character work and mystery buildup and i sorta agree despite not liking it as much (even though i found it interesting how certain storytelling elements here would get reused and even deconstructed in Mamiya). The highlight of the VN for me really was the melancholic atmosphere but i also enjoyed the comedy that you would get at times for things to not feel too heavy, even with a few minigames thrown in. The mystery reveals were pretty cool as well but the climax in the final route felt a bit simple for me after all the character work. Overall, this was a pretty interesting and atmospheric BLge and while i didn't like it as much as Mamiya, i'd recommend it because you might like it better depending on the aspects you're looking for. Borderline great VN. Ranking down guys: Sakura>Itsuki>Hinata. Ranking down routes: Sakura (best character work for me)>Hinata (really good mystery reveals)>Itsuki (plot wasn't that unique for me).

< report >I really agree with your review! And with the rankings, too. Sakura felt especially compelling to me, with a greater character depth that the one I'd have expected at first.
I'd say that, even though Hinata is the poster boy, Sakura's route, place in the story and backstory with Aoi make him the "true" one. His endings felt like the real deal, even if they don't happen if you follow any of the other routes. I remember crying with them. He really deserved better. :'(
