This was a very disciplined and tactful representation of the art of psychoanalysis, however I have a few stylistic caveats. As much as I enjoyed the dynamic between Miko and Byakuren, I would have preferred that a more thorough analysis have been done of the underlying HISTORY of Taoism and Buddhism in Japan, as not only a religious movement but as a politicized crossbreeding of Church and State, rather than merely exploring the superficial differences in practice that might account for the temperamental preferences of the newlyweds. The effect that this must have upon their child Futo is alluded to but with extreme prejudice and underrepresentation, and this only further reinforces the theme of Hikikomori that you introduced early on but left unresolved. The decision to involve the therapist himself in the drama is a daring critique of the myth of psychoanalytic objectivity, however I am afraid that by the end of it audiences might be left with the impression that he has descended so far into the madness of his patients that he has rendered himself irrelevant by leveling. The use of violence is artful yet at times egregious, only given the subject matter. Rest assured, I have given this touching narrative five stars under the Overall category, since this is all most the sum of the stars that I have ascribed to all the other categories. Please feel free to play the other Visual Novels herein, especially since twenty minutes from now you will have no possible effect upon their rating. Regards, Rinzai.
