Bored at work. 90 minutes until I get off, might as well write something. I am usually one that prefers good art work, so at first Narcissu didn't appeal to me.

http://vndb.org/v10 Name: Narcissu Studio:Stage-Sana Read Time: 3 hours (Full voice read) H Content:None VNDB Premise: The anonymous protagonist is diagnosed with a terminal illness shortly after his twentieth birthday, and is admitted to a hospital in Mito, Ibaraki. There he meets Setsumi, a woman a few years older, who is also terminally ill. Finding that they both reject to die either in hospital or at home, they steal a car and run away together.
It seems like Tragedy is a popular theme now a days. It's been a long time since I last read my "Comedy" type Visual Novel. But tragedy definitely tend to score better drama
If I were to review the Novel it'd be difficult, since it's a different type of scoring type. Art: 2/5- The novel has next to no art, What art there is is merely a banner width screen that shows a vague screen regarding the story, something like back grounds or something. Music 4/5-There is a lack of tracks, but the music is good, memorable and easily recognizable. It's an awesome collection. And greatly make up for the lack of art. Chara 5/5-There is only 2 characters. So there is a lot of ground to cover with this, but it's quite safe to say that both characters are perfectly represented. Logic, Thoughts, Despair. Are all well written, It really brings out the story Story 7/5- Going to give out some bonus points here, The story is great. For something that lasts a mere 3 hours, Something done in a single sitting, the story is extremely well rounded. Well written and ended in a pretty good way. (Your mileage may vary)
Continuing from the premise, You and Setsumi, stole your father's coupe and are running away, though both of you have no idea where you're going other than, a general direction. On the route many problem arise, such as money, gas, medication and of course, your new girlfriend is dying by the second.
not much to say since it's all on video, it's a great novel, and to be doable in one sitting, it's definitely recommended
And so our Journey of 960km Ended..To me it was 15 days of time, to her it was the end of a 22 year Journey...Not the 7th floor, nor her home, Of her own will, she avoided them...In the year 2005 she was one of the 35,000 who committed suicide. .... .... But to me, In reality she loved bikini swimsuits, knew more about the roads than a navigation system, and loved cars, She even had a license. She was always without expression, and would only rarely face you. But once in a while, she would even make this embarrassed pouting face....
This was sad during my first read through of it, and it made me tear up like a sucker the second read through. Thanks for posting this, it's reminded me to finish narcissu side 2nd =D

Do you know what the word "logic" means? You're either using it really awkwardly or you're using it in a completely wrong manner.
