二万分の一の雨粒達 - One in 20,000 raindrops

Edit : oh also almost forgot, the music is one of the best part of this game, as there is no VA so it almost carry more than half of how reader perceive the scenes = = = = = Notes : Playing with English patch by [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/4800570/discussions/0/571541224066188582/]Setsuna[/url] A good short visual novel about high school student last school trip Come with a little interest and yet the story managed to make me very invested since the early part Premise : MC is a loner person in a class that happened to be invited as part of the popular / [i]riajuu[/i] group. Then from the early scenes we could already tell there is more hidden in this so called popular group. Will he stay on his loner way or will he got ropped into the group dynamic? The main things that pulls me to the story is the characters, as they totally carried this visual novel from the start until the end. Although after finishing this in single playsthough (around 2-3 hours), I found myself wanted to see the continuation of the story ( [spoiler]how is Seto side of falling in love with ruri? How MC's growth continuation? will be a spark of romance? [/spoiler] ), but at least the open ending …

The narrator is a cynic who's convinced he sees the world more clearly than everyone else, while his seeming antagonist, the pretty and popular class-clique leader Rurikawa, is so blandly cheerful that her true thoughts are an utter mystery. In the first half, I thought this was a story about living and relating authentically --- about the bitter choice between putting on a mask to fit in, or staying true to yourself even at the cost of remaining alone. But then the game reveals itself to be actually about something different and (to me) harder to accept. One of those stories that I suspect I'll keep chewing over for a long time. (I played the original Japanese version, not the unofficial English patch.)
