Umi no Misaki review

I have a really hard time buying into the premise: falling in love very very very deeply with 3 girls (actually it's more than 3, you know it yourself if you read it) in such a short amount of time.

Story:3
The main point of the story is a folk tradition that forced the MC to have a certain relationship with the heroines. I find this setting to be very clunky, considering that the MC HAVE to choose someone for the sake of ritual. The progress is also boring: encounter-rejection-acceptance-wobbawobba-final date; times three since the flow is all the same for each heroine.

Art:3
Not a fan, just not a fan. The proportion sometimes warped and there's 3 characters that looked too similar to each other. Shizuku, Soyogi, Rinne; sometimes I confused between shizuku and soyogi when she do not wear her glasses. When it comes to Rinne I sometimes confused whether it's a flashback into younger Shizuku or it' s just Rinne.

Character:3
The premise is so focused on the ritual which is tied to the 4 main casts. This makes another characters only functioning as an extra, with exception of the sensei, girl number 4 and girl number 5. And you know what, number 4 and 5 is already out of the loop since they obviously do not have relation to the ritual. Makes me wonder why they even there aside from forcing age diversity. Among the 4 main casts the three heroines are terribly inconsistent. Maybe, the concept is that "the girl change after falling in love with the MC", but the change is too obvious to the point that they feels like a different character. The drastic emotional change from hate-neutral-'terribly fall in love' in such a short timeline also... do not help with their character building.

Enjoyment:3
The three heroines have similar template in character building and story flow, which makes reading this whole series once feels like already three repeat of the same story. Not an enjoyable experience to be honest. And the ending... My god... It's one level below bad harem manga.

Overall:3
If you're familiar with generic visual novel storyline, that is what you'll get. Encounter-rejection-acceptance-competition-wobbawobba. Yes all that in that order times three. You see one heroine in rejection phase, then expect another two to repeat. One heroine in wobbawobba phase, expect another two to do the same. Very predictable and to cbe honest just boring.
