Whoosh.

Damn. A22 comes out of hiding to say I'm full of shit. It's almost flattering.

Looked back at my sources, and I was clearly misremembering what I had read. Looks like Aura and Silentcook said that a Misha route would be the most likely route in the (not gonna happen) event that there were more routes. Obviously not monolithic, considering Suriko's answer to a similar question.

There may have been side comments by individual devs to similar effect in AMAs or other interview-like formats, but I was wrong on this point. Apologies to the devs for perpetuating a false rumor.

I always thought "cpl" was short for "corporal" but to be sure, you'd have to ask him yourselves.

ProfAllister wrote:If memory serves, the devs posted in the "Ask" thread that they had considered the possibility of Misha Route, Kenji route, etc., but ultimately decided that it was better to stick to the Original Source Material. So, regardless of how desirable ANY route would be, the Original Source argument vetoes any and all extra routes.

As far as fan works go, sure, why not. Interestingly enough, there only seem to have been three serious fan attempts at an actual Misha route. (I haven't found any others, but your Google-Fu may be stronger than mine.)

1) DrSciencePhd's Route (Completed) - Extremely short in comparison to the canon routes.

2) Doomish's Misha Pseudo-Route (In Progress)(On Semi-Hiatus) - Undergoing a rewrite. Original here. Doomish is evidently extremely busy, so updates are sporadic.

3) My own humble attempt (In Progress) - Only including this here for the sake of completeness. I don't have near the resume of Doomish, but I do consider this a serious attempt. So far, I've been able to maintain a schedule of updating on Thursdays.

Since I'm currently working on one of the three, I will refrain from making any judgment on the other attempts.

...I'm sorry, I've been on the internet a long time and cannot tell if serious.

....more seriously, the reason that she has no route of her own while being very prominent, cute and in need of hugs might be so that the player will be genuinely tempted to cheat on Shizune, because you're sitting behind a screen, and would normally tend to be more logical about it - "Staying faithful will obviously give me the good end, I'll play her own route later to get her naked".
The way it is probably simulates a RL adultery scenario more closely

Lesbianism or at least bisexuality do seem more likely, since it's implied that her crush on Shizune has persisted for years, way past that middle-of-puberty~ish orientation phase. The distinguishing characteristic of a phase is that it fades by itself over time. but admittedly, there's no way to be sure.
