Confessions – Who and How?

[Napalm]

Hisao is definitely gonna learn signing, I can't think of any other way how he can form a relationship with Shizune, without Misha interrupting...

Shizune: ...
Misha: Wait! Waha~ Not so rough, Hicchan! Wahahahaha~!!

I'l sign up for this anytime, Shizune-Misha-Hisao threesome is the best smex.

Yet ... rolling on with Raita, Hanako I see reciving the confession from Hisao ... especially if she is thinking He will go after Lilly blouse ... would make the climax of her development she will be all moe and surprised saying "But ... but Hisao ... I'm so ... so ..." cue a lot of white knights moe death.

Rin ... as a matter of fact as already drop some bridge on Hisao (I think our relationship is at the level, I like if you are here, The problem is in your pants) so she will casually say "Our Realatonship is at the level on wich I'll make out with you Hisao, I'll hugh you right now but I've no arms to hugh you with." while working on a painting involving puppy, penguing, some guns a petunia and a wale.

Lilly is too classy for confess, but not above some hinting, I think she will send Hisao some mixed signal making him guess (unnless there is some Hanako angst in Lilly path) but i suspect that when Hisao is almost near to spill the beans she will put a finger on his lips and say "You surely took you time Hisao" and then she will kiss him.

Shizuhe ... well I suspect her Master plan is to make Hisao grow enough balls to force him to confess to prove his manliness... but I'm not above thinking their confession will include insult, menace and lot of angry sex.

Emy ... well this depend ... if you are a Slutty Emi follower I suspect she will confess to him or at least propose sex first "Is for your healt Hisao", otherwiseI think she will send him some hint first until she snap "What do you think I try to made you healty for? Because I care about you dumbass! Actually I love you!"

[neumanproductions]

I'm off the forums for a little bit and already i'm missing all the important debates. Let's see here.

Emi: Yes, I believe that Emi will be the one to confess but not until after Hisao gets a peek of her inside the changing room one day. (Hint, Hint) I see it going down that Emi is a little has already started to like Hisao and will confess secretely at first like through little notes or something and one of the path choices will get you to make a descision on who you think sent the notes. If you get the right route then Emi will confess after you confront her about it. Hisao will be the one to make the move about sex but Emi will be sceptacle about it since she is very worried about Hisao's health.

Rin: God I will love this one if i'm correct. Throughout some of the route Rin will be working on a painting that she won't let Hisao see until one day he comes across it in Rin's room while he is nosing around while Rin goes to see Emi about something "important". Rin returns to find Hisao looking at a painting which depicts a girl with short, read hair holding hands in the sunset with someone that looks oddly similar to a certian PoV character. Let the HNNNNGGGs sound as Rin puts on a shy side that you can't understand but Hisao gets it perfectly and embrasses her right there in the room.

Hanako: This has to be the most thought about by most people as it involves a shy character. I am going to side with the majority that believe that Hanako route is going to be more focused on Hanako coming out of her shell rather than be focused on Hisao's love life situation. The proff that she has fully learnt to open up will be her confession to Hisao after she beats him in a game of chess that they made a bet before about that the loser would have to do anything the winner asks of them. You'll have the option to make a certian move that will influence this and if Hanako wins she will end up asking you to be her boyfriend. If you win you'll have the option to ask the same thing or something perverted of course. (hey, my strip chess concept has to get used. I know it will)

Lilly: This is going to be a confession by Hisao, I just really believe it. Lilly is going to break down then about something in her past relating to why she is a foreign girl here at a Jaspanese school while Akira will probably be the one explain to Hisao what fully happened and Hisao is going once again say how none of that matters to him and he would love Lilly no matter what happened in the past. This fits with my theory of Lilly not being a virgin.

Shizune: As Shizune is at the bottom of my list i never gave this much thought. I suppose there will actually be a time on the route where Misha confesses to Hisao but he turns her away for Shizune. Misha understand and that's basically all that happens with Hisao desciding to confess to Shizune at that very next moment after running back to the school from the cafe that Hisao and Misha were just in.

Misha: Now if this was a perfect world there would be a Misha route Unless that is one of the suprises the devs have planned...yeah right. But if this were to happen I would see it as turning out just like the Kozue route in "Snow Sakura" where Kozue is best friends with Misaki who is supposed to be the main girl of this VN. Misaki is in love with the PoV character but it Kozue that the PoV falls in love with. You reaslly have to play this VN to understand it like I do. But the two friends end up splitting up from each other because Misaki finds out that the two had secretely been dating. The rest of the route is spent trying to mend that friendship with success.

Now this would be really, really nice confession. It totally reminded me of this Mishimmie post: http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/post/v ... in%20comic
I also like your Hanako version, it would fit her pretty good.

About Lillys Confession, isn't she half-japanese? I don't think she is a foreigner, she speaks Japanese perfectly at the age of... (~17?), which is a really difficult language, I don't think she could learn it quickly enough.
But I agree with your point that Hisao would have to make first move.

[Esa94]

Quickly enough? I don't think neuman implied that she would only recently have moved to Japan. It's quite possible to learn Japanese even by oneself – heck, the hardest part is probably learning how to write the language, if not learning to read it. Speaking Japanese and learning the grammar is probably much easier.
Although it's not as if I know Japanese at all. This is all assumptions and guesses.

Anyhow IIRC she is half Japanese.

[NoOne3]

Probably admist painting something, Hisao either helping with the actual painting or with the "usual stuff" from Act 1.

I just visualised the scene, and the only possible result was Hisao modelling for her painting, most likely a nude one.

It's quite possible to learn Japanese even by oneself – heck, the hardest part is probably learning how to write the language, if not learning to read it. Speaking Japanese and learning the grammar is probably much easier.

I've heard it even from some linguist. Japanese is considered by many to be quite simple, as spoken language. Pronunciation is especially easy to learn, since it has less syllables in use than most languages, and mostly the ones popular in almost every language.

[Mirage_GSM]

Japanese is a very easy language to learn. There is so little grammar it doesn't even compare to romance or germanic languages, and if you're fluent in english you already know a large chunk of vocabulary It may take some time to get used to the intricacies of courtesy, but if you're living there for a time it should be possible to get the hang of it quickly.
And being blind Lilly doesn't even have to bother with Kanji!
And Japanese braille is even easier to learn than the braille for the latin alphabet. That's because you don't have to learn 26 six-dot combinations but only 14 three-dot combinations: five for the vowels and 9 for the associated consonants. The Kana alphabets are like they were made for being written in braille...

[vaelant]

Mirage, you're turning my choice of second language away from German. I like easy things to do ^^

[Mirage_GSM]

Well, I'm happy German is my native language. I'd HATE to have to learn it as a second one ^^°

You know i never saw that image so obviously no effect did it have on my choice. But I would be inclined to believe that Rin would be a little more artistict than painting a Hisao who looks pissed off about something. That's why I like my theory; so cute and emotional.

[Grand Haberdasher]

This would also imply that Hisao confesses to Hanako instead of vice-versa.

Oh, I am actually not so sure. It would be way more tricky if a girl confesses her love to Hisao, and the player has to make a choice if he wants to be her friend or if he still roots for another girl... But this is of course pure guesswork.

I doubt that would be an issue. By the end of Act 1 it's clear which girl you're going for.

[Cylog]

I doubt that would be an issue. By the end of Act 1 it's clear which girl you're going for.

Right, I didn't thought of the fact that Act 1 will be used as a base for the other acts...
Alright, I try to sum that up:
Hisao is probably confessing to Hanako, Lilly and maybe Emi. I could imagine that Rin and Shizune work up the courage and confess to Hisao (especially Shizune).

I also would like if Rin painted a more... romantically looking Hisao, the picture just describes the vague idea. Cute and emotional is good.

I've taken a bit of French and 3 years of Latin (inb4lollatin). English is my first language. Japanese is much easier than both of those, and it's unrelated to English. I could form simple sentences out of thin air in a week of Japanese, a feat I honestly could not accomplish as accurately with 3 years of Latin. Those endings are way too hard. But all I need to do is learn Kanji and learn vocabulary (and brush up on grammar a bit, but it's definitely not difficult), and I'll basically know enough Japanese to live in Japan. (Okay, maybe not live in Japan, but read and have conversations with Japanese people.)

Anyway, back on topic. I can totally imagine a heartbreak scene with Misha and Shizune.

Say, for example, Hisao hasn't learned sign language yet. But he loves Shizune. So much so that he cannot contain it, so he confesses to her, of course, with Misha the interpreter. Problem is Misha loves Hisao. So she hesitates when Hisao says those words. Her usual big smile fades, and her hands abruptly stops. She quivers for a second, eyes shaking, and finishes signing the message. She looks down, fists clenched, then runs off. Shizune, worried about her best buddy, chases after her and leaves Hisao without an answer, who of course, has a hard time to cope with this.

Oh also I'll love the devs if they put Itsuki's "ai raabu yuu" voice in there and play it when Hisao confesses.

[AapoAlas]

Oh also I'll love the devs if they put Itsuki's "ai raabu yuu" voice in there and play it when Hisao confesses.

If they do that I hope to dear god that they'll at least have the courtesy of playing Hitagi Senjougahara's "ai raabu yuu" from Bakemonogatari. I damn well love that one, although it is horridly corny. Then again, it's obviously meant to be, so it's even better.

Loquerisne latine? >:3

Couldn't resist. To feign on-topic intervention: sorry, but you all can lay to rest any hope of having voices in KS. We've said multiple times that there won't be, we have written it up in the FAQ, and furthermore we can't just lift material from other licensed sources.
I have no comment whatsoever about any other speculation wildly flying around, though.
