I really enjoyed this visual novel. It's actually been quite a long time since I binged a visual novel as quickly as this, reading the entire 9:16 it took me to read this in a single day. I'd personally recommend going into this VN as blind as possible but it has a few touchy subjects that will make it hard to read for some or just plain make people want to avoid it 

With that out of the way...There's a lot I can talk about here, but I'll keep it relatively short so I don't go into too many potential spoilers or anything. This story is a well-told slow burn romance slice of life drama coming of age story. It's written extremely realistically. I could see everything in the story actually happening, so there is no struggle with any level of disbelief due to how characters act or any situations that come up.

The art is gorgeous in my opinion and features moving sprites including lip sync. While it's not always perfect, it works the majority of the time. The music is understated but used extremely effectively, and I adore both versions of "sun shade" (the OP and ED). Systems are fairly straightforward and don't feature anything unexpected in a visual novel like this, I do appreciate a chapter menu though to more easily traverse if you were to forget to save or wanted to backtrack more easily.

On the negative side, the pacing is a bit inconsistent - especially post-climax where it drags a bit. The story also takes a bit longer to wind up than I would have liked, but it was still done very well and I'm honestly unsure if the story would've been better if it ramped up faster. While the ending wrapped most things up pretty cleanly, I wish the epilogue had jumped a bit further into the future to see how things were going, but that's a pretty minor gripe.

Overall I'd recommend this visual novel to any yuri fan who is interested in a grounded slow burn slice of life drama story. I'd even recommend this to non-yuri fans as something they should pick up to maybe give the genre a chance.
