Done with Mizuki's route from Hareten. Maybe it's just me but, felt like it didn't belong to this game. Like it happened in a parallel universe. The route itself was fine, neither good nor bad.
Spoiler for Mizuki's Route:

I'll wait for your Nazuna impression because I couldn't motivate myself to venture into her route. I found the point in time of the choice selection for it extremely badly chosen. |

Done with Nazuna's route! Overall it was better than Mizuki's but, Ayane's is still my favorite. Drama was handled better and the character development for Nazuna was good with Mizuki playing an important role on it. @Mahou, why did you find the timing of the choice selection badly chosen? For me, there was no better timing. Spoiler for Nazuna's route:

So, I finally finished reading Itsuka Todoku Ano Sora ni, which in total took me about 3-4 years. Even then, I still can't perfectly read what's written there due to Shumon Yuu's writing style. It was a very nice ride though, and I recommend it to anyone with interest in heavy Japanese literature, folklore, and atmosphere. It also has fantasy themes and some awesome battles, and unexpected twists in the end.
My favorite heroine is Futami. But make no mistake, the writer is extremely good at writing his characters, even side-characters. All of them had some significance in the story depending on whose route you take. Perhaps the one thing that left the most impression to me is the fairytale-like story telling during the introduction arcs (the school, tereyuki, yokubari-maou,etc). The beauty of it left very strong impression even with words alone. The kanji wordplays (there're a LOT) were also interesting and so integrated into the story. These two things are perhaps one of Shumon Yuu's strong signature, which is why I love reading his(or her? I don't really know) works. For the next game with his scenario, I'll try reading Kitto Sumiwataru Asairo Yori mo.

BTW, I finished Hareten yesterday. Kanae's route was very touching and it explained the bad end nicely. I'll post some final thoughts later. Spoiler for Hareten Final Thoughts:

I never really have gotten into Hareten like pallete's previous works like Moshiraba or Mashiphony. It's not bad, but somehow i feel like there is something missing for me. So i dropped it after going through Mizuki's and Nazuna's story.

With the plot being character driven there is no way you can enjoy Hareten if you don't like them.

So I managed to finish all but the last route in Mirai Nostalgia.
Out of all the heroines, I like Iori and her route the most. Her tsundere is on a live-threatening level (literally ). Actually her route is the only one that left a strong impression because the others were just too...what, bland? Though I like all of the characters. Also, let me voice this: GIVE ME KANATA ROUTE DAMN IT~~!!! She's my most favorite character in the whole game, and yet why didn't she get a route? I really hope there's a fandisk for this

I'm nearly done with Ushinawareta Mirai o Motomete and uhm ... yeah, the VN likes to be confusing at some points. It's very harsh towards poor Kaori on every single route . Music is alright, characters are likeable and the story is acceptable. I have been able to endure the cruel way of having to see the bad end of each route before the good one becomes available.

Also, finished my first route in etude's latest game Nanatsu no Fushigi no Owaru Toki. So far, I really like the game and it's a lot better than Akizora ni Mau Conffeti. Production values for the game are really high, almost everything has some kind of animation. Love the Opening song by Kawada Mami!
