Hisao was a genuinely concerned, albeit misguided individual who on one occasion failed to respect Hanako's boundaries. Not some toxic plague rat that crawled into her room and vomited on the floor. They both came away from that situation with regrets, Hanako for saying things about her friends that...

The witty dialogue was great as usual, though admittedly, I did have a little trouble slogging through the chapter. In my defense, I blame it on the math . Derivatives and the like were some of the most life-sucking things I had to deal with in high school. Brought back torturous memories. The girls...

Arguably speaking, from a canonical perspective, none of the girls are definitively heterosexual, though I suppose that is almost always the presumed default. Even in Shizune's case, it could have simply been a situation in which she just didn't have those kinds of feelings for Misha. We don't reall...

Odd. I could swear we did this one already, as I just read it recently. But looking back, we clearly did not. And now here I am, trying to fathom what inspired me to read it in the first place. Not to speak on its quality or anything - that's for the meeting. Just that I don't usually click on rando...

I don't know, I find the experience of reading these kinds of things kind of... fascinating . My parents and I visited a meteor crater when I was a kid. The thing was over a mile in diameter. I don't have any memory of the event itself, but looking back at the pictures they took while we were there,...

"Hrm. Yeah. KS had the potential to be one big black hole of suck, didn't it?" Eh, so do all works in life. This is just the kind of stuff that gets thrown into the crucible. These kind of reinforce my impression that KS was in itself almost a parody of things like School Days and the lik...

Stories like these only solidify in my mind the idea that KS started out as more of a satire of the romantic VN genre than a heartfelt story more or less grounded in reality.

Of course, the devs could have very well just been fucking with everyone.

It was a fun little story, though gods, I don't know how Hisao managed to bed all those girls.

And not directly related to the story, but I got a kick out of the exploitable image.

Ugh. I think I just had an aneurysm. I'm going to have to give this one another read through at some point, once I've recovered.

Not liking how Emi is acting here... Hisao is right about her having to want to change. But I'm wondering what just might make her come to turn around on her own.

Hm. I suppose I'm a little more optimistic regarding Rika's state of mind at the end. Unless I read into things wrong, most of her worldview was impressed on her by her boyfriend, whose death pretty much reinforced those beliefs. She similarly tried to impress them onto Hisao, and almost succeeded. ...

I've been shipping Hisao with Hanako this entire time, so I hope to the gods that this chapter means what I think it means. (I'm not sure what I think it means.) I liked seeing her interact with so many different characters, though. It shows how much she has grown... and how much she hasn't. Miss Yu...

I liked it. Got a tad over the top towards the end, but hey, she was drunk. I hesitate to call this a crossover, since while you're borrowing elements (or THE element) from Papers, Please, nothing about the KS is fundamentally changed.

Also, GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Ah, I thought it might have been an infatuation thing. The word "love" is tossed around so easily these days, particularly in works of fiction, KS being no exception. In the context of the VN, there never seems to be any question about whether that love is "true," despite the sho...

To be completely honest, I'm still kind of skeptical about Hisao having fallen out of love with her like that, even after everything that has happened. I understand that he's gone through the coping process and everything. I mean, I'm not a certified Love Expert, but that kind of feeling doesn't jus...
