Finished Saori's route, and with it Akikuru.

It was amazing, Watanabe has done it again. Absolutely fantastic ending. If there's one thing he excels in it's perfectly tying up a story thematically.

Definitely my favourite VN of 2016 anyway. If there's one complaint I'd have it's the lack of enforced route order and the effect this had on the narrative, it doesn't have the same sense of continuity that the other 2 had and the individual stories suffer slightly as a result, there's a reason Saori's route is by far the best one.

But the VN still has great characters, hilarious humour, comfy romance, interesting quantum physics ideas and sociopolitical themes, and a powerful conclusion. Very disappointed that there apparently won't be a Fuyukuru.
