this is very sweet thus far; i watched 2 eps of the anime a few years back, so i already know whats gonna happen

im still in the very beginning and im having fun thus far; the characters are all very distinct and have good personalities! however i really, really dislike the cute girls doing cute things trope, and unfortunately it has lots of that thus far. despite that, though, im very excited to see where this one goes!

started off a bit slow, the story drags on too much but nevertheless, I'm still excited to see where it takes me!

Finished! What a great start to the series, setting up a very creepy stage. Coulda done without the monologues with the anime levels of emotional angst/waffling though; there were definitely moments where it went on too long and dragged down the story's pace a bit.
Excited and scared for part 2~
