I imagine in Lilly's and Hanako's routes, Shizune is just cheezed that Hisao is, well, sleeping with the enemy.

Hisao, go with Emi. It's the least pain all around

"Writing for this medium" is the kind of thinking that leads all visual novels to be the same banal girl-centric slop where you pretend you're actually making decisions beyond which emotionally manipulative girl you want to bang. Really, I was thinking of adding more choices in Shizune's ...

It's been a year and I'm bored as shit. When I decided to write for this game I thought that aside from having fun with it I was going to make my route more of a character study than focusing on a plot, because high school plots are dull and transient and it's more interesting to me to focus on cha...

He does get quite a bit assertive later on in the ark... he's mostly just a limp-dick in Act 1. He really lets Shizune and Misha drag him around everywhere. Which happens a little in the Act 1 of ALL the routes, but seems more prominent in Shizune's Act 1. That's actually kind of the point. Hisao i...

You realize you can edit your posts, right? And fix the formatting?

Yes, sucks to be Lilly. Parents that abandon her for her education, and then yank her to Scotland in a way that completely derails her education. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't have the emotional material to realize how hypocritical her parents are. I liked the overall metaphor, that Lilly's lif...

Shizune's route is fine. It's reader-intensive and not a bag of fluff-ball that you cough up in the end of some of the more 'fluff-intensive' route. Shizune explains early on about how 'actions' matters more than words--if my memory serves me right. If you take her word for granted, you'll miss a l...

On the cultural part, there is a large part of that to do with Jigoro - he seems to me to want to see a return to the older hierarchy of Japan, and in particular displays samurai ideals. Interesting thing about that. Jigoro is a consultant. That means that he isn't part of a corporate hierarchy. In...

Not to sidetrack things because we're doing a better job of being focused lately, but I keep reading this as " Licking Shizune but not enjoying her route" and it's freaking me out a little... No, Rin is the cunnilingus route. I... had to look that up. :oops: Does that actually happen? Lik...

No, Rin is the cunnilingus route.

She was supposed to have ended up in Scotland in every ending except her own good ending.

Durn. I liked her coming back. I was hoping she had finally figured out what kind of parents she had.

First off, about Lilly's exit to Scotland. She leaves around Tanabata, which is when Hisao confesses to Shizune in Shizune's route. So, I think in Shizune's route Lilly goes to Scotland, stays for the summer, and then comes back to finish the school year. It's quite possible that Lilly would have do...

In my relationships I've had some nasty blow-ups, Hanako-bad-ending class. Likewise for my friends. But if the fundamentals of the relationship are strong and the people are willing to try to work things through, relationship breaks can be overcome. Just like true good endings are very rare, true ba...

I went through and carefully compared Shizune's good and bad ends, scene by scene, to see what was actually going on and the actual repercussions of the comforting. The differences are pretty subtle (although not in the final effect, of course). In Shizune's good end, Hisao can be gently supportive ...

Shizune's route is a weird one. For my part, I think it's a great path in terms of the story but I dislike playing through it, and I dislike it for basically the same reason that I like it. Let's start with this route's Hisao. He's depressed in all the routes to some extent or another, but in this o...
