This is another collection of fan-made comics. It seems like video game series have a bunch of these doujinshi volumes. I know Kanon and Air have at least twenty each. Fortunately for me, Natsuiro only has this one volume.

The cover art is probably the best one I've seen so far in that the characters are pretty close to how the original character designer created them. There are a few more color pages inside, but each shows a little interpretation of the original character designs.

As with the Kiminozo comics, the stories in here vary. Since this game wasn't as deep nor serious as Kiminozo, the chapters tend to be pretty light. My favorite one in here would be the chapter where Tomo-chan goes on and on about her interest in the supernatural and the occult. When Kotaro finally gets the courage to tell her about his experiences (thinking that she's more likely to understand and believe him), she just calls him an idiot. Okay, so it wasn't that funny explaining it, but I had a good laugh.
