Which ending do you consider to be the most canon?

[Forever_ambivalent]

I dunno, but people seem to think the unseen harem end is the most canon one

Well, see, this one makes more sense. Hisao actually has the skills to get there, and that way, none of the girls are left out.

Well, until his heart gives out from all the exertion, anyway.

Nah Rin, Hanako and Emi require a lot of attention.
Unless the harem end just means that they are all just friends without benefits.

That's "True Companions". A harem is he beds all of them, either at once or at different intervals.

Only the Lilly Neutral-End might allow that.

I agree that that's most likely, but I can see a way to do it otherwise. It requires assuming that Lilly stays for Hanako's sake in the other routes, though.

Start with Emi's bad end. At that point, you interact with Rin, so there's a jumping point for helping her break herself. Break up with Rin afterwards because you can't stand her. Now go for Hanako. She rushes into sex with you, and then you manage to pull a Misstep out of the jaws of victory AFTER having sex with her... and she burns her bridge with Lilly, too. Cue Hisao and Lilly comforting one another, but this Hisao's becoming more than a bit of a bastard, and Lilly slowly realizes it, and breaks up with him (and then ends up fucking off to Scotland). Hisao decides to go for Shizune, who KNOWS he's a skirt chaser, but is desperate enough to actually go for it, then it ends up working basically like the canon Shizune route, and he takes the bad end path because, hey, awkward sex with a lesbian.

That isn't a harem, it's a nightmare.

Awww, you missed a great chance there. "That isn't a harem, it's a scarem."

Good scenario, but it needs one last thing. Perhaps a nice boat? Yes, that sounds perfect.

Perhaps a nice ship instead?

[Oddball]

Nobody seriously thinks a harem ending is even remotely possible for the game. Not a single person. Don't pretend that you do.

Well, that 'unshown harem ending' option is logically impossible, since if it weren't shown, it couldn't be canon. Duh. Also, if nobody can seriously think so (since logically impossible), then clearly nobody can pretend without being non-serious.

[SpunkySix]

I see what you did there.

Kind of confused why that was even an option, seeing as nothing unshown in such a context can even be canon.

Not just a nice boat, it has to be a nice boat.
The kind of boat that makes people stop and say "That's a nice boat."

[Potato]

Come on, tone down the stupidty.

Okay, here's a serious question... who the hell voted for Emi's bad ending?

A sensible person. I mean, how likely is it in the real world that an uprooted, frustrated teenager is really going to successfully endure through her shit? Rin's weird. Hanako's reclusive. Lilly's dishonest. Shizune's big on contests. Emi's actively hiding things, dodging questions and problems, and being frustrating as hell.

Me and every white girl on the Internet both have something in common right now... we can't even.
