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 fromthe 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.
