Hatsuyuki Sakura is a Niijima Yuu (a large portion of Summer Pockets and Majo Koi Nikki / Witch's Love Diary are likely his most well known works among English readers) written visual novel that falls well into the nakige area, with some people arguing that it crosses over into utsuge territory. I mention the writer because there are some similarities in his writing across his works, so if you either liked or disliked his other works, chances are this will end up in a similar place for you. It's a mystery with some romance elements, but has an abrasive MC that not everyone will like.

The story is written fairly well, and has its moments where it is funny, serious, and emotional. However, the story is somewhat let down by what feels like a rushed ending, some things not being explained properly as well as some inconsistent pacing. The music in the VN is amazing though, and there are 19 H-scenes present, most of which are fairly good, one of which was creepy, and one was the most hilarious - I still haven't decided if it was unintentional or intentional though - H-scene I've ever read.

Ultimately I'd recommend this to any reader who is okay with a nakige story. That's all the detail I'm going to go into regarding this VN, as I feel like any additional detail past these broad generalizations will lessen what impact the story could have on you if you choose to read it.
