I enjoyed this story. It moved quite slowly at times, but it was beautiful and had some interesting coming-of-age drama. I wished that there was a little more character development of Yume's contemporary Angela -- she was one of the more interesting characters in the story, but we don't learn too much about her. Definitely recommend this series. I took a break from it a couple times before finishing, which I do not usually do -- primarily because the story was so slow moving. The opening and closing theme songs were good as well. I particularly liked Kaze NoHana -- it seems like it was a Japanese-style ballad -- quite dramatic and the words were deep and moving.
