The story touches upon some issues that many people have to deal with in real life, ever so slightly. Though that's the case, it still has the ability to impact the reader and perhaps- get them to think about it.
As you read through the story, you'll get drawn in by the characters, art and the story itself.
Chinatsu and even the side characters are developed in a pace that is realistic and does not seem rushed (nor too slow), which is a refreshing aspect of the character development. . As for the art, the details in scenery are absolutely beautiful, which is a positive since it would create a relaxing setting for the both the reader and the story. (Although it also aids in recreating a hectic scene).
Last but not least, the storyline. Although some parts of it seem a little exaggerated at times, some of those events can happen in the real world, just- very rarely. Sometimes, I feel like there are too many coincidences happening inside the story, but I feel rather satisfied even with that. It's kind of like saying- "Life isn't perfect." Which the story clearly portrays without being cynical or (too) cruel. Through the story of Fuyuki's grandfather, the reader will learn that, everyone has their own problems and some of them may run deeper than meets the eye. So the least they need, no matter how strange or unreasonable their actions are- is an ear that will listen from a relative or anyone that cares.
All in all, everyone should give Chinatsu no Uta, a read or two. : )
