「―そして、物語を読み終えて現実に立ち返るたびに、一抹の淋しさを味わった。」
「堅物な青年。衒学趣味で懐古趣味、そして書痴の青年。けれどもその実体は。夢見る一人の男の子。憧れながらも、現実にはないと諦めて。幻滅と読書と想像の果てしないワルツ。そんな男の子の前に現れたのが。。。」
Most beautifully written thing I've ever read in Japanese. An oneiric experience, I fell in love with Mareni's prose. The text feels rhythmic, never boring despite its sheer density; I joked about it with a friend but it felt like reading a Balzac or Zola novel, but with all the textual complexity the Japanese language can offer. This man could describe the most mundane thing ever, like a cat crossing the street or paint drying on a wall, and I would be BRICKED UP through it all. Now imagine the h-scenes... Also, as strange as it might sound, the greatest appeal of the game to me wasn't even the enthralling nostalgic 世界観, but rather the seductiveness of the heroines. Each of their features is detailed in such a delicate and erotic fashion, I was DROOLING at almost every Emilia scene. Music was very good too. Looking forward other Mareni titles.
