Ohh nice, I wasn't expecting you to become an instant fan

It's a really powerful story. The Common Route is very lighthearted, fun, silly, even banal at times; the kind of thing you think won't ever become serious. The rest of the story is a lot more melancholic, though. Akane's route is one of the rare stories that genuinely made me depressed (I tend to just soak up drama in fiction and feel energized by it because I enjoy angst and tragedy and broken people, but the bittersweetness of the Akane route overwhelmed me after a while). Report back with your thoughts if you ever do end up reading it.

I just finished it earlier tonight.
