    A fine visual novel with a few very good routes. The translation is not top quality, but not as bad as you may think it is when you realize that the first "Sempai" was NOT a misspelling.
    I can't agree with the route order for this one, it's a good idea to get the sister after most routes but you will get a lot more out of Sonya if you played the sister before her. All routes would "benefit" a bit from playing sister first but the sister route is probably best enjoyed at the end, after you are already familiar with everyone.
    Yuiki should be played last because it drags on and it would be terrible to play her before the sister. Absolutely terrible. The sister is the true route here so you shouldn't play yuiki before her (I was under the impression it wasn't even possible to unlock her before the sister);

    Every route feels quite unique when it comes to the plot. The "recipe" is the same but the ingredients are very different. Every route has a message or two that it is trying to convey. They drag some plot points too much to convey the message but it ends up being worth it.

    You should absolutely avoid spoilers because they could very well ruin a lot of your experience. And as a last warning, this VN seems the totally cheerful kind but they deal with a few complex topics and situations that are worthwhile but you should know it won't be the typical moege walk in the park.

    Well worth a read, but the VN is quite long. It goes beyond the 10-30h prediction to finish all routes. It's probably close to 50 hours, if you read it in a fast pace but paying attention.
