The artwork has never been the selling point of the series, and “Decisions” is no different. Character designs for Nanoka, Kaname, and some supporting characters are fine, while designs for Koshiro and most other male characters are more rough-edged. The inconsistency in character art quality between distance and close-up shots, which plagued the previous volume, is less of a problem in this volume. Background art, while not bad, continues to look distinctly less clean and refined compared to the character art. On the upside, both character and background art has some good attention to minor details, such as the mark on Nanoka's forehead after she's fallen asleep with her head on a table. Animation in this volume is unremarkable, though this is not a set of episodes which demands much of its animation, either.
