I read Asahi's route in Snow. The first untranslated VN I've cleared!!

It's a classic nakige, from 2003. Kanata returns to a small village perpetually covered by snow, where he works for peanuts at his cousin Tsugumi's hot springs inn. Like in Kanon, he meets girls that he knew 10 years ago, recollects lost memories, and hears about a legend circulating in the village. This VN is very, very pure, and cozy (including the OP and ED by I've). I'd recommend it to people who can't read much Japanese as well.

However, I was left slightly incredulous. In an attempt to bake sweets for Kanata, Asahi puts whole cans of fruit in the oven, blowing it up. A good meal for her is a bunch of raw vegetables in a pile with ketchup squirted all over them. She wounds Kanata when she tries to wash his back. And by the final week of her story, she's regressed to a toddler who can't move, eat, or speak on her own. I found myself weary, and wishing she would do something cool for once, but I guess that would detract from her retard moe. It's justified, since her true form is a rabbit youkai, not a human, but I hope not all of the characters are like this. The protagonist is donkan himself, so aside from Meiko's wit and silly misunderstandings, there's little to bring spice to the dialogues.
