Where do I start..- As another fan of the Grisaia series, I was attracted by the style of the artworks and character designs reminding me of the characters from the previous not so related title of the series. I knew what to expect after reading through almost all of the series, besides the Eden that I had to drop and haven't felt like picking it up after getting a bita disconnected after having months passing by and no longer finding myself confident enough about knowing what's been going on.. Hence why I dropped it for now, and instead decided to try this one. I have really enjoyed the pacing of the previous Grisaia titles, so it wouldn't be all that off to claim that I was expecting something similar. True enough to that, the game of words was more or less the same, though the parts that have been giving it the deep philosophic thoughts are gone this time around, along with many of the encounters. .. And I haven't liked that at all. Not only the game feels having too rushed of a story, there's a huge lack of events going on. The entire entry to the Phantom Trigger is quita full of introductions, which makes sense as to allow the reader to feel with the characters, but due to barely any important event happening, there's not much to draw the conclusions from. The characters will have some encounters that are enough to know what to think of them on the surface, leaving them still mysterious deep down.. Which sort of seems to be getting more deep with each entry to the Phantom Trigger series. The artworks are amazing. The detail to each character, not just the artistic but also personality wise is really nicely done, and that's what I care about a lot, so I still got quite a lot despite finishing the reading in no time. Yup, the Phantom Triggers do seem to be some real shorties, taking into consideration that I'm a medium-fast reader, so it's safe to assume that a person who's not used to reading would require about an additional hour or two to finish this one up. - The visual novel is kinetic. There are no choices to be made. It's all based on the plot, and everything is of what you see. There're no alternative routes or anything along such lines as in the previous Grisaia entries. Luckily, or perhaps not so luckily, the soundtrack seems to be very similar and on par the notes as the Grisaia entries, which I enjoyed listening to a lot. Those who haven't, however, will be listening to it once again.. Luckily, for just a while due to what I'd call massive pacing issues. That's to say, the voice acting is done to the utmost perfection. It's nothing to talk negatively of, but instead of some truly professionally done work. That alone was also another surprise that the game's got for me, and that probably carries over in the other entries to the Phantom Trigger's world aswell. If I shall say.. I'd, in the end, recommend this piece of visual novel to everyone who's not into the prolonged types of visual novels, the Grisaia series being the perfect setting example, as well as to the fans of Grisaia.. Because it feels almost the same. - Overall? Yes, I'd go ahead and recommend it.. But I guess, that's merely the nostalgia speaking on my behalf, having my mind clouded over with the ever so positive experiences. That shall cover up the review.. In case I re-read it and notice something missing or something along those lines, I will be sure to edit it- Happy reading! Enjoy the alternative not-so Grisaia!

Interesting story of future mihama students, despite it being the first volume the tone and everything was great. Voice Actor/Actress has done a great job voicing each character My favorite character is Tohka voiced by Sakura Ayane Sakura Ayane has voiced lots of iconic characters from anime such as (Iroha from Oregairu and Yotsuba from QQT) I'm excited for what's to come volume 2
