What impact would there be for starting the four seasons somewhere other than Spring? Obviously, I'd continue by circling back in order, but would it affect the game play much?

Hey! The volumes give shape to the story, so early on you’re asked questions about settling into the city while later you’re reflecting on your year.
You’d be better off playing through the volumes in their written order, but changing/ignoring/swapping the small number of seasonal details (usually about things like the weather) as you go.
