Or they're girls. It's not like Nurse and Mutou got many more votes, and there aren't any other options for het females.

More wonderful stuff. There's nothing earthshaking in this chapter, but I kinda think that's why I like it. As with the rest of the story it's very good at establishing the new status quo. And, more and more, I like the idea of putting the porn bits in a separate file. They're very well-written, min...

Maybe not, but it's probably the most viable combination on the table.

I don't think the point is that Hisao finally understands Rin. I think the point is he accepts she's thinking differently and loves her like that, misunderstandings included. (and honestly, it gives a brighter outlook for their future - a couple of Rin would have serious problems finding its place ...

I didn't have a problem with Emi and her sexuality at all. In all honesty, I feel that Emi and Hisao are the closest thing this game has to an actual HS relationship. Not super serious, kind of lighthearted, lots of hormones and sex. Granted there are serious issues that come up, but overall the st...

As with most things, it really depends on the circumstances. I could easily see a threesome working very well with Hisao, Shizune, and Misha. If Shizune decides she can return Misha's feelings and Hisao's okay with it the connections will already be there; Hisao and Shizune obviously have a solid re...

Yes. It got me thinking very hard about how we view women and the roles they play in stories; I had always thought myself pretty progressive on that front, but in seeing and discussing the reaction to Shizune's route I finally began to understand how wrong I was about that. As a result I'm beginning...

You need Slow Recovery. Check one of the route maps to see how to get it, it's kinda tricky.

She totally cheated. Poor, poor Hisao. My heart bleeds.

I think this would fit nicely into the regular story. It's no more explicit than the bit at the train station, after all, and it's nicely in-character for both of them.

Hmmm. Kinda neutral on this update as well. Hisao's conversation with Takumi was interesting, but the rest was kinda flat. Not bad , mind, but it felt like . . . filler, I guess. In the earlier chapters I really felt like we were learning things about Shizune and/or Hisao's parents, or seeing Hisao'...

I understood it as just what she said. Proper motions. Hisao said (technically what the writer wanted to tell you then) that Shizune sees life as a series of events that can be separated and compartmentalized. The H-scene merely being what she said, the proper way to end her student council with a ...

Thoughts? Am I off-base? I'm not a fan of the character classification (it's apt, but I think all of the HS characters are complex enough that they don't fit into neat little boxes like that), but I think your analysis is spot on otherwise. This. I wasn't sure at first whether A22 was a genius writ...

I honestly felt that Shizune's arc suffered more from pacing and execution issues than from the actual storyline: the climax (heh heh) has the longest "tail" of any other story: unlike the other routes, which end with a short stinger after the climactic moment, Shizune's route leads into ...

Hmmm. On the one hand, I really liked seeing Misha. On the other, she seemed too . . . aggressive? Serious? Not sure what, but off somehow.

But that's a minor issue. I really enjoyed the update, and I think you're on the right track. The party should be lots of fun!

Hmmm. I liked the revision better than the original, but I still think this update is weaker than the rest of the story. Here's hoping the rest has more in common with what came before (which was very, very good).
