>let me tell you the story of tanabata
This is an obligatory scene in every VN from the late 00's isn't it?

It is certainly heavy on info dumps, especially when Meme starts talking about ancient history, but I don't think that ruins it. In every scene with Futami and Konome, there was obviously unresolved conflict there, so I expected an explanation sooner or later. The only real complaint I have is that they didn't have any CGs for Saku's vision at the end of the common route. You have to use your imagination because they just didn't have the budget to illustrate it, lol. In that sense it has kind of aged poorly.

Futami route (what I've read of it so far) seems extremely... tender. It's about two awkward people who skipped over a lot of important steps in their relationship because of outside circumstances throwing them together. They both try to be considerate of the other person's feelings, but sometimes being so considerate actually ends up hurting the other person more, because politeness is a sign of distance. It might be a bit overwrought with the way it simmers in sentimentality, but that's just Shumon's style, and Futami is an endearing character so it's not like I mind spending more time with her.
