The first arc I started was Rin's, but the first one I completed was Lilly's: and I loved every second of it~❤ :P

Nah. My theory I shared earlier was competitiveness of the community. Quite possibly also the fact that it's simply the more exciting choice.
Actually, my reason for choosing to "Take it easy" on my first run was to avoid causing Hisao's death, haha.

I didn't select "Go for it" because I thought if I did, I would die from pushing heart too much.

I just did what I would have done my first time round:

- Introduce myself? Do I have to?
- So, where's the library?
- Promise to exercise? Um...
...


No option but Hanako for my first.

The second time round, I actively tried for Rin - and succeded. (Still my two favourite routes.)

After getting the Kenji ending, I got the Rin route.

It's the only one I haven't replayed.

You were using your head. ;) I just impulsively chased after Emi. If I hadn't, I suppose I would have had a date with the whiskey.

I have a question for you guys. Did your first arc end up being your favorite one/favorite girl?

In my case it was Emi and yes, it ended up being my favorite arc/girl.

Haven't played all arcs yet, but untill now Emi's my first and favourite arc. I'm certain most people will prefer their first arc, but not everyone either.

I got Lilly's good ending on my first run, and while it may not be my absolutely favorite arc, she's still far and above my favorite of the KS heroines. So yes, I'd agree that most will likely find their favorite girl on their first playthrough. Unless you happen to get Kenji's ending, I guess.

For my favorite route, I'd say it's a toss-up between Hanako's or Emi's. Probably the former.

First was Lilly's, I love blondes and she was a very nice person (and the one who I thought I would get along best with in real life), so I went with her. Absolutely loved her arc despite it being incredibly cheesy and cliche at times.

Got Emi on my first playthrough. Wasn't trying for anyone in particular, just made the decisions that I thought that I'd make myself. I ended up becoming very attached to Emi's storyline, which included me being pretty depressed about halfway through. I think I was worried about getting a bad ending, but getting close to Emi made me realize how empty my current love life was and it pulled me deeper emotionally into the story. Played to completion and got her good ending on the first try without reloading. I'm honestly hesitant to start another playthrough just because I'm pretty satisfied with how everything ended.

That'd be a mistake. You'll be missing quite a bit.

I got Lilly's neutral ending first; I accidentally made Hisao drop the subject and pretty much got quite depressed at the neutral ending. Went for her good ending soon enough, though, but I felt that, overall, Lilly's routes were pretty much downers for me. Yep, even her good ending felt painfully bittersweet (read: the airport chase and what came after).

After that, I ended up with Hanako's route and got the good ending.

After Hanako comes Emi. Got to the good ending, although I did reach the bad ending (and loaded it back).
