The original DE is still one of my favorite games of all time. It’s truly a masterpiece.

The author really likes her male MCs to be very wishy washy and in their own heads a lot. Makes them come off as a bit creepy sometimes, I think unintentionally. That being said, the manga was fine as a light fluff you’d read a bit of here and there. A whole anime episode of it is like trying to make a bunch of cotton candy your dinner. Fluffy and sweet but it gets old well before you’re done.
