Narcissu is an excellent visual novel written by Tomo Kataoka, then translated by both insani and Haeleth. The narrative begins with a bleak outlook but things do improve as the story progresses. Any attempt at describing this piece would be spoiling the experience, unfortunately. Suffice to say that anyone who enjoys a good read or a touching movie should get this right away.
