I am not going to kid myself that three different narratives featuring the same main male protagonist with different female protagonists are something that works for me. This is probably one of the reasons why I do not play VNs because I would find that following the path of having only one female protagonist each time is too boring. I like it when the main protagonist is put in a situation where they have to decide how to deal with their conflicting feelings, and then they just simply have to choose one person. I mean when the show plays around with the different possibilities instead of there being only one way to go. Furthermore, I was not too fond of the main male protagonist in this show. However, I found the girls much more interesting. So I would have rather had one more sophisticated narrative where all three girls revolved around the main male protagonist than this style with three simple narratives that only feature one female protagonist. If I took the individual narratives, animation, and soundtrack, then my impressions of this show would probably be around average. However, since the concept does not work, I think it is weaker. Otherwise, I found the best part and the best girl was the first one. 4.5/10. (22.02.2017)
