There's something about that path that really lances through you.

In order of completion: Lilly > Hanako > Rin > Emi > Shizune
The etymology of this name comes from the Latin: "I will serve," in contrast to Lucifer's Non serviam. Slava Ukraini!

What's that got to do with canon?
I love the interpretation of Pac-Man where he's a just a lowly worker retrieving golf balls left all over the course by the rich masters and the ghosts are all previous workers who got conked on the head and killed by incoming golf balls in the line of duty.
It just... Feels natural. Hisao is the type of guy to try to protect Hanako, but not go overboard with it.
Though I do want to punch Hisao sometimes; he says some really retarded things in both the Lilly and Hanako paths.
His grade A douche attitude towards Emi in Rin's route makes me want to smack him.
I don't remember Emi being in that route in any way that mattered...

So what you're saying is that it wasn't Emi's route? Because he kinda brushes off everybody who isn't the relevant character.

I say overall, it's Shizune's good ending--which means her route is the most cannon to me as well.
Why?
It's what I call as the 'gamemaker'-effect when reading a VN without a definite sequel that confirms which is the canon ending.
The first girl in the VN (outside of IwanakO) you meet and is introduced to is Shizune and so far, her route is the only one that branches up to graduation (which is the 'end' of a chapter in most people's lives). Hisao's character seems to be more conclusive to me, who change from mopey, to someone who is confident enough to step up when the situation calls.
Start with the girl you first meet, ends with the same girl. Gamemaker.
They say they hate Shizune? What is this? BLASPHEMY!

Although it's also worth noting that Hanako is mentioned as standing out before either Shizune or Misha are.
So Hisao beds Misha then separates from Shizune after graduation to hook up with Yuuko? Because that's where that ending absolutely factually goes.
