Mind you, this is my first Visual Novel of any sort. One thing to note - they linger a lot on the characters, which makes it more like a compressed anime series in some ways, and less like a manga or novel. In the end, the reader takes out what they put into it. For me, the ending wasn't a total surprise... but it was still disheartening. Personally, I suspect the combination of music and character design are what caught my attention, and kept it, even if the story can drag out a bit, especially at the end. There's an innocence to the title character which is.. well, untoucheable, even at the end when any such innocence should be gone. Extremely depressing story, though, as much due to setting as to how it progresses. But I enjoyed it, even if I got my mood brought down. Again... that's as much the music as anything.
