CCG writes – “Despite some flaws, Kanon is a very sweet story about love and dealing with deep trauma and adversity. Each of the stories is touching in some way, and at least one route did bring with it some manly tears, though perhaps not as much as later works. It overall was a great first effort, and I’m really glad that I got to read this work, available for the first time in English. The writing and localization is excellent as well, as there were times it felt like a well-written novel (which I suppose it is). If you are curious about visual novels, this is a decent starting point, as it’s good enough to keep your attention while not being so good that you will never read something better. Recommended for visual novel fans and the visual novel curious, assuming the mentioned moral issues don’t bother you.”
