The story is set in a futuristic world dominated by augmented reality and artificial enhancements, offering a unique take on the concept of blindness. While it features multiple branching endings and compelling revelations, some reviewers noted that it occasionally retreads familiar ground, leading to a less engaging conclusion. Overall, the narrative is praised for its refreshing approach, likable characters, and avoidance of typical anime tropes, though opinions vary on its overall execution.
- “With the story set in a future where augmented reality and holograms are the norm, and people are born with an artificial cornea in order to live in this new world, the meaning of the word 'blind' no longer refers to those without sight.”
- “There are a number of interesting revelations, and the story branches into multiple endings, each with their own epilogues.”
- “A poignant story of two people coming to understand the perspective of each other.”
- “This story starts off well, but progressively just begins to get unbearable to read.”
- “I should have listened to the few comments I read; I figured this story would fit into some niche interest of mine, and while it does have a slightly nice setting, that's all it has to offer.”
- “Late in the story, it does feel like the story starts to retread some of the same ground when it needs to be wrapping things up, but for the most part, it’s a very compelling story.”
