Re: What if Hanako became a swimsuit model?

I've been thinking about this is a turned-around light: "What would it take for Hanako to become a swimsuit model?" First thought: is there a community in Japan that would find her burns attractive? I went rattling around Japanese Punk pictures ... and those are the cleanest-cut punks I've...

Re: Emi ending (spoilers for days)

Because Hanako accepts the help more as where Emi wants to hide it. No, she doesn't. She accepts support from Hisao as long as he allows her to also support him. The time Hisao offers to protect Hanako is also the moment he nearly blows his relationship with her. Not completely. When Hanako has her...

Re: Emi ending (spoilers for days)

One of the things I like about Emi's route is its' symmetry. Hisao wants Emi to open up and accept Hisao's help. In order to do this, Hisao has to open up and accept help from others -- either Mutou or Misha. It's also the most complete route. We find out Emi's whole story, pretty much, and in all t...

Re: POLL: First girl you went for

Shizune, simply because the one question on my mind was "I GOTTA know what Misha's disability is, if she has one." Sadly Misha doesnt have a disability :( This thread might interest you :p http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1386 There are 69 pages of disagreement on this, but IIR...

Re: Which girl has the best chance for an LTR with Hisao?

"Please stay" was heavily meant to imply "as long as we're still alive" so unless something goes horribly wrong all of a sudden due to a freak occurrence, I see such a simple request as the catalyst for a very strong long-term bond between the two of them. Interesting. You and I...

In the epilogue, Lilly and Hisao are very much planning on going to the same college.

Which girl has the best chance for an LTR with Hisao?

Starting a relationship at 18 and having it last is a small miracle, but it does happen. Out of the canonical girls, which do you think has the best chance of build a truly long-term relationship with Hisao? By LTR, here I am thinking of 20+ years, marriage, kids, that kind of thing. The big deal. M...

Re: Pairing the Spares?

Hanako x Misha. Look, there both very sensitive, misha is a lot more outgoing and boisterous ( if that's the right word ) but what if she confesses again and is an emotional wreck and wants to shut herself off? It's not like that's completely unreasonable. And hanako is the type of girl to kind of ...

Re: What scene made you "cry" the most

A few thoughts on life after Lilly's epilogue: Lilly has some pretty serious abandonment issues (witness how she demands that Hisao stay with her forever) and repression issues (witness how she does this while knowing her family wants her to move to Scotland). Once she's chosen Hisao, especially to ...

Re: Irreversible

It's not a story about KS, it's a story about reading KS. As such, I thought is was an interesting and entertaining take on the matter. Experimental fiction is experimental.

Re: Is it just me?

I wonder what a sequel to KS would look like? One big aspect of the story for me that I liked was the fumbling, insecure nature of first loves and navigating that. I think maybe this is why I'd prefer a sequel to be fresher characters... Continuing loves are boring. Yes, they're sweet and lovey and...

Re: Is it just me?

I wonder what a sequel to KS would look like? One big aspect of the story for me that I liked was the fumbling, insecure nature of first loves and navigating that. The trouble is, the authors already did that and probably said pretty much all they wanted to say the first time around. If KS was a pro...

Re: First impression of the girls vs final impressions?

And now To derail the thread a bit by returning to the original topic :-) : Emi: First: She's the fun one! Final: Not only is she the fun one, she's the sane one, too! Which is saying something. Hanako First: D'AWWWWW! Final: Hisao m'lad, you are about to discover the joys and sorrows of being in a ...

Re: First impression of the girls vs final impressions?

And I have to admit, with Yuuko, I liked her quite a bit, but she sort of just seemed there in Emi's route. Doesn't do much as the librarian, and shows up once as a waitress then leaves. Cute, but not really vital. Is she ever really vital though? She has the occasional wisdom but Mutou could deal ...

Re: Waitaminute... Misha HAS to be bisexual.

Honestly, the first time I saw the new haircut I thought "why is Misha sporting a baby dyke haircut?"

OH. THAT's why. :)
