It's the kind of visual novel people would quick to dismiss as having nothing to show for except anime titties. And yet, this game kicked off a successful brand of VNs containing Gin'iro, Haruka and Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai that, at their core, not so different from this game: full on slice of life galore, school activities and vanilla romance, absolutely nothing over the top. Maya and Midori routes are competent enough to have some believable drama and character arc. The other three routes are of lower quality, albeit Kyou is quite cute. The game walks the fine line between surrounding you with attractive girls and making you feel like a harem light novel protagonist. The storyline is so mundane it can pass for realistic. Slice of life stuff is not what I'm into but I admit VN like this have their place. Also, how does the 1/1 part not in the title?
