Kenji aside, I ended up with Emi. Despite my discomfort at her younger appearance compared to the other girls you could pick, I enjoyed her route nonetheless. Emi's cute, but with her route, it's definitely a personality thing for me. It also helps that her friend Rin also has an interesting route in her own right.

Hanako. I'm usually drawn to more introverted characters, especially when I was younger. I know it's pretty short, bit I feel like it still pulls you in pretty deep with the time it has.

Emi. Because you don't simply refuse to run after a cute girl.

It so happened she was Hanako. Well, I really felt I must help her so I did it (I got bad ending though & then I looked good one).

That bad ending really caught me off guard and I felt pretty bad afterwards.

Felt same. It really hurted especially when you tried your best. I didn't use any guides I got this route myself. Anyway, I didn't expect for first time it ends up right there.

Emi, and IMHO, I think her good ending is tied with Lilly's for most cathartic.

Shizune because she was deaf like me but also the least favorite in the fandom.

I had him start with the "worst" route to leave the best route at the end.

I must say that it wasn't bad, I liked it but I almost didn't feel the romance compared to the other routes of other girls, the best thing about her route was Misha's character and the writing of the route was interesting.

Hanako is the first and last i will do. Finished it a few days ago, followed my instinct and god damn was i not disapointed. I typed up a mildly unhinged rant about it on the reddit but the gist of it is that it was a beautiful rollercoaster that portrayed human relationships much more realistically in my opinion than anything i consumed before (despite the fact that i consider seeking out and experiencing media with solid characters to fill the void left my total inability to form IRL relationships one of if not the most important aspect of my life) and that while it didnt challenge the views i held about those, and that it didnt yet bring as much raw enjoyment as the only other piece of art i would call equal (Night In The Woods) did, it is by far the one that caused me the most thought.

The feels do hit incredibly hard, and as i'm typing this, i am procrastinating reading Sisterhood, which should complement nicely the elephant dosage of copium i am huffing to convince myself doing her route is better for her long term.

I would recommend playing the Rin route since it deals with communication and existentialism.
Rin is maybe on the autistic spectrum or directly.

I loved his route
