This game is fighting with itself on whether it wants to be a gut wrenching tragedy or the most middling slice of life trope filled anime ever. This games highs are extremely high, but the lows are comically low. The gameplay itself is really fun, but that's only after watching youtube tutorials on how to properly play the game. The in-game tutorials actively lie to you and give you horrible advice. I want to like this game, but the cliche anime humor and filler ruins it for me. I love the world and characters with all of my heart, but the story overall just isn't good. The absolutely phenomenal endgame does not excuse chapters 2 and 4, and the many other smaller moments where the game fails at comedy.
