The only thing I can comment about is how realistic the setting is. Nothing feels fantasy like in it. I almost got anxiety watching them interact, as if I have to bear consequences of their actions, that realistic it felt. It's not a romance in the generic sense, it's a psychological session, asking you questions even when you don't relate to any of the scenarios. The ever building tension was high enough to keep giving me shivers, yet the beauty of the animations kept me hooked.

The way the pacing and narrative went by, just makes me feel it's the beginning of something so miniscule, ... yet that something is paramount for all the characters involved. The subtle tension of keeping others happy by sacrificing your own hits so close to home. When you think after years finally you can open up, everything comes back crumbling down on you, the world feels suffocating and irritating. And that was really beautifully shown here. It's not a fantasy, it won't have you giggling and laughing, but in tears, not even giving you a chance to recover, because it knows, it's not a story about Asamura and Ayase, it's about every kid who bottled up their emotions, romantic or not, for the sake of someone else.
