I ended up liking this series, even though based on volume 1 I thought I was going to be rating it a 6/10 at best. I still can't really justify giving it a higher rating than 7 simply because while the time-travel elements of the story end up being interesting and exciting in the last volume, and volume 2 drops some mysterious tidbits, the beginning of the series didn't stand out that much from other high school manga, except for the basic premise. There was a bit of fanservice here and there, and while one moment was kind of funny, it kind of detracted from ... the story for me. In the end, though, I liked how this series wasn't just about romantic love, but other kinds of love, and dealt with themes of how we make decisions in life without always knowing all the ways that our lives are affected by those decisions (for better and worse). Having the protagonist see the world through the terms of a visual novel also connected well with the theme of choices, as anyone who has played them will know.

Oh, this story annoys me. The story really just started picking up and then I run out of chapters to read. Imagine being in a Bullet Train going 200mph and suddenly just stopping. That an equivalent feeling and isn't exaggerating at all...

It's kind of weird at first because I wasn't expecting this to involve Time Travel. It's kind of an interesting scenario. I do find the two contrasting personalities to be interesting.

The Otaku girl is nice. I don't like her brother even though we've seen so little of him. I just wish it was a girl at most. I like the idea of the Otaku ... girl having a little sister and their relationship is very distant and they rarely see or talk to each other. I do wish we got a long time of seeing the Otaku girl being a loner at school and seeing people talk bad about her. It makes it more interesting when a new Popular girl starts standing up for her.

The Time Traveling girl is interesting. She hasn't gotten a chance to shine by herself. I hope she does in the future. It is interesting to me that the story doesn't just have her be some cool tomboy character that doesn't care about the fact that she's into other girls like I see with most Yuri stories. It's kind of nice she's just a really energetic girl that even herself was confused about her feelings for the MC.

Overall I hope for more from this story and hope it gets a bigger audience. It's really just a nice story.

At first, you’d think it’s going to be a wholesome shoujo ai GL story with Pure-chan as the “supposed to be future lover” to Akira. The art was really nice and the girls realtionship is adorable since they are both polar opposite’s to keep you reading more of the story. However when Akiras brother Ruri pops out of nowhere as a hikkimori and tries to break up the couple (this is new to me since im use to the classmates, childhood friends or colleagues who do this action in nearly every romance manga I read), it went confusion hill for me. The reason for this ... is because it goes back and forth from the girls past and future too much. I mean yeah Ruri is trying to erase the fact the girls got to know each other before but I was getting a massive headache like for god sake, which timeline do you want to show mate?! It just felt so flippity flop the whole time like my brain can only take in so much even when reading!!! As well they added in random characters on side chapters like why didn’t they add them into the main story too? Even I wouldn’t mind a second Yuri couple to cheer on!

Again this is a adorable highschool girl romance story guys besides those hiccups, read it!
