9.5/10. This is quite literally one of the best stories I've ever seen. Not the best, but it's up there. Is it cheesy? Yes. Is it sappy? Yes. Is is filled with way to many anime cliches that try too hard to be funny by being self-aware? Maybe. All of this works, though, in some way it all comes together and Just Works(TM). But my favorite thing about this story is the fact that I never quite could guess exactly what was going to happen and how. Sure some things became apparent before they happened, like SPOILER and SPOILER SPOILERING, but everything I could guess was properly foreshadowed and never in a suepr-obvious way. The juxtaposition of happy and sad, funny and serious, really comes to play to make this game feel much like real life, although a somewhat idealistic and quirky version. There are many free-to-play VNs with donation options, and I wish this was one of them.
