As with the previous two volumes, the keys to the success of “Decisions” are its excellent characterizations, flawless use of natural-sounding dialogue, and exquisite sense of timing. Events develop slowly, precisely, and with great feeling as they build towards a powerful emotional peak in episode 12, though sentimental souls will undoubtedly find other places in this block of episodes which also resonate deeply. None of the characters strike a wrong note, whether it's Koshiro's deep angst, Kaname's reaction to Koshiro, or the fears that Futaba, Nanoka's friend, is starting to have about what is really wrong. As before, Odagiri is still around for a bit of comic relief, but this is otherwise a very serious story utterly devoid of any typical anime romantic hijinks.
