I still stand by Shizune being the best girl from this game, but I always thought her route was a bit of a disappointment compared to the others. Plenty of great stuff in it, but nothing like the others. ESPECIALLY Rin, whose story is just something else entirely and has a resonance that few other VNs do.
Honestly though, and this feels shitty to say, I didn't know that this game was made by westerners when first playing it and I don't know if I could enjoy it the same after realizing that it's not Japanese. But Rin will always stick out as a special character.
