Alright I know what the people who are reading this review are thinking right now because i gave this anime a 10/10 rating.


Most of you will not read this since i gave this a high rating or think that I am very much into romance or ecchi genre.
Well yeah I am pretty much into the romance series and i do not give a full 10/10 rating for every romance anime.
First of all there is no reason to hate this anime... I mean I just read almost every review about this. People are just soo fixated on the normal romance ending where the man gets ... the girl and no other girl is allowed stuff.
But this anime is not like that . It has a beautiful writing and nothing and i mean nothing feels rushed in this anime. This anime is very good eventhough people say it got ruined because of the most satisfying ENDINGS of different girls.
I swear man people who hating this are a bunch of cry babies who got fixated on one kind of endings.
Did i mention that the anime does not feel rushed at all. Cause it doesn't .
Every girl eventhough it is only one episode gets a ending with a MC and it is in fact very satisfying. Now you may think ah love bloomed only with one episode or stuff. No it may seem like one episode but it has an awesome character development like you would not believe. Every interaction with the MC and the girl(s) has a whole lot of character development. The story between each individual girl is written pretty well .
Now why this anime is soo enjoyable and get you ready to watch the next episode slowly by slowly is because of it wholesome ecchi content.
I don't mean real s*x . No this is far more greater than that which will make your pp go all the way up in almost every single episode. The way the MC takes photo of the girls in their sexy pose is very wholesome and very fun to watch. I mean come on all the episode made my pp go all the way eventhough there is no horny stuff or something its just magnificent animation and direction of the very erotic stuff which i personally loved very much.
Now the most important thing is the animation which was absolutely great. I mean just look at the quality of each episode it is top notch for an anime which was released in 2012. When i mean great i mean it has top quality stuff and now the important part is the animated body of the girls.
Which was absolutely sexy and very fun to watch.
So all in all I wanted to say that eventhough this has different endings for each girl (which is awesome) this will be the most relaxing and satisfying thing ever to watch in my case and this anime does not deserve this low rating.

It's an anime with a good premise, but the development of the routes is too fast.

The protagonist, who resembles Shinji from Evangelion to some extent, has an interesting personality, and his passion for photography is noteworthy - capturing not just beauty but also expressing the true feelings of a person.

The anime initially focuses on introducing the protagonist, showcasing scenes, the girls, secondary characters, etc. However, it gives the impression that the anime devoted too much time to the introduction and forgot to focus on the girls. Three episodes are concentrated on the introduction, and the events to introduce the girls could have been spread across ... their respective episodes.

The most developed route in this anime is Niimi's. Despite the cliché of the childhood friend, there's an explanation and a slightly more serious issue that creates misunderstandings between the couple, leading to a more realistic resolution. Additionally, Niimi is more integrated into the introduction than the others, so the introduction complements her route.

The other routes are less developed, with a too rapid progression. They could have included more events or a problem that generates discussion or conflict in the route. And we must not forget the lazy and senseless kissing scene in Masaki's route.

The last route, Maeda's, is quite bland and cliché. It could easily be replaced by a route for Uchida, a mysterious and interesting girl whose potential, unfortunately, remains unexplored.

Other characters, like the president of the photography club and Katsumi, are cool, but the photography club members are annoying and disrupt scenes involving the protagonist and the girls.

The sceneries are beautiful, but some used for romantic scenes are overly repetitive.

Each girl's personality suits them well; they are beautiful characters and look great when photographed.

The animation is beautiful, especially highlighting the photos taken by the protagonist, which are beautiful in portraying the girls during their daily activities at school.

The opening is beautiful, with each girl's voices standing out as they sing different parts of the song, and the ending is also pleasant.

The soundtrack, in romantic moments, blends well with the scenery.

In conclusion, the anime's proposal is poorly implemented, despite containing some good elements.

What can I say, in the beginning I was enjoying this show, a lot.

It had some interesting romance going on. Up to the breaking point I would give this anime an 8.

What breaking point? After the episode 6 ends, we get some of the other finals that you could have chosen in the game.

Sincerly, if you are going to adapt a visual novel, just stick to one time line, adapting all cliché time lines does not bring any satisfaction, at least it didn't do it for me.

I felt so let down, when I was watching, first I got really confused because things started to make ... no sense but finally understood that from the episode 6 forward it's only the other ends.

I think this strat of doing "the best final choices" to please everyone ended up being the reason this anime got this score. Could have been an 8, but had to please everyone, not take any risks
