This is a very great story that the anime does not convey. People should definitely read the manga to get more emphasis on emotional parts of the story line. The character development is great and you learn a lot about everyone except the main character who doesn't seem to have much of a past but is ok. The five main heroines do not appear as much as they should and there was a lack of involvement with the main character and the heroines. I think there should have been more touching moments between him and the girls to produce and even more dramatic end butyou still get a slight feel. More scenes with him and each individual girls would have produced a more sincere feel. Overall it is a very good story.
