As mentioned above, this VN is a mass of wasted potential. Yes, there are really good points... but between those good points is an interminable amount of pretty much pointless ichaicha, slice-of-life, and a number of other things that made me want to scream.

First, neither Lisa's nor Koharu's routes escaped the trap of mediocrity that Chris and Rie's were taken by. Sadly, both routes are fairly standard charage romance with predictable turns of events... so predictable I fell asleep during Lisa's route, lol. To be honest, at times I really hate the Japanese's fondness for considering being average to be a good thing. That said, I did like that Lisa's, Rie's, and Koharu's paths all had epilogues that touched on a future more than half a decade in the future, when the characters are set on their new life paths. This is a huge plus... that would have been better off in a more interesting VN, lol.

Kureha's route, on the other hand, manages to escape at least some of the difficulties the other routes had, if only because it is the only route where the protagonist actually has a deep history with the heroine beforehand. At the same time, there were some bad moments - the typical osananajimi 'I love you but you don't consider me to be of the opposite sex!' scenario *sighs* - that left me wanting to tear my hair out. The ending was good - for once they didn't chicken out - and the epilogue went twenty years into the future, which was nice. Sadly, it still suffered from an overall lackluster 'intermediate stage' during which you had to wait interminably for the two idiots to figure out that they loved each other, which is a huge - massive - downer.

Overall, this VN is perhaps the most frustrating charage I've played in a year or more, in its near-continuous failure to use the setting and indulgence in the usual anti-exceptionalism and excessive story archetype use (that felt awkward, to boot). To be blunt, Haruto had the potential to be a first-class protagonist, but he showed up as a third-rate one because they were unwilling to make this a somewhat (it would have only taken a little effort) darker themed story. The simple introduction of an antagonist or the protagonist facing his personal issues without the filter o the heroines would have been a huge boost to the plot, overall. They spent way too much time minimizing the vampirism issue.
