Having played all but Emi's, this is definitely my fav. I played it first, and liked it a little more than Hanoko's, which I liked significantly more than the others. Kudos to whoever was involved in it.

For some reason I thought Hisao only has heart problems in the third H-scene because he was being overstimulated in a way he wasn't used to, what with being blindfolded by Lilly and depending more on his other senses instead of just his sight like he usually would. I was under the impression that his heart started acting up because the stimulation was too much for it to handle, or something like that.

My guess without looking up the specific is simple radio frequency incompatibility which would prevent Lilly's phone from working in Scotland. Obviously there are multi-band phones that can function in multiple countries (though they usually also need a sim card swap to a local carrier), but Lilly doesn't strike me as the type of person to worry about such things.

Possible since it looks like that Japan is not using GSM while it is rather common in America and Europe.

That's because you haven't played Emi's route yet.

I finished Lilly's route about 1 hour ago now and while I've only played Emi's route before, which made me a bit misty, while Lilly's route had me wiping away a few tears when she was leaving and they said farewell at the gate.
Anything that affects me enough to produce tears is worthy of a 5 imo.

There weren't really any time were I facepalmed due to the things characters would think, say and/or do unlike Emi's route where Hisao seem to having trouble putting 2+2 together towards the end.
But what I really think sold it for me was Lilly's personality. An absolute sweetheart. They was it's described how she does everything calmly and gentle really help me paint a picture of her in my head.
And the naughty scenes where also very appropriate and tasteful imo and never went too far or being too unsuitable. However I am amazed that they dared to have sex in her summer cabin the first time with Hanako sleeping in the next room (or atleast not too far away). Poor girl probably wouldn't know what to do if she walked in on them, lol.

Depending on how well something is written, I automatically get sucked into it more and more. In case of Lilly's route, I was all giddy like a school-girl in the end but once the main menu music starts playing I just want more and start to pout for a minute or two before getting over it, lol. This is my very first VN to read and DAMN YOU for being so well made and just eating away all my free hours of the day!

LOLOLOL you're right i would feel really bad for hanako... which i don't remember there being any confirmation that she was sleeping. She may have been listening in in horror D:

Nah, just before the love confession, Lilly tells Hisao that she calmed her down and managed to get her to sleep while himself was sleeping.
Guess that she planned it all. Feminist conspiration is EVERYWHERE.

In a proper eroge, the situation would have led to a threesome in a matter of seconds

somehow i don't think that would be proper, but it definitely wouldn't be uncommon in JP VN's lol.

Hanako does tend to give them some space afterwards...

Just another proof of the evil feminist crual plot.

More seriously, it is said several time in both Hanako and Lilly path that Hanako just don't know how to lie. Since she seems surprised (at least a bit) when Lilly announce to her that she confessed; I don't think she was awake and have heard them.

With only Rin's route left to play, i have to say that so far Lily's route (especially the writing by Suriko) impressed me the most. It simply had everything from beautiful romantic scences to utterly heartwrenching twists...


Just an overall masterpiece.

PS:
Thank you Suriko for doing such a good job. I cried a shitload of manly tears over this route.

Yeah this is my fav route. Interesting to see the majority of people put it as their very fav. I assumed the opinion was more divided than that.

I think Lilly's ending was the most well-made of the other ending (haven't played hanako's though). I expected it to end just like that after credit scene, but surprisingly it got more scene and it really clear things about both character's future. I mean, it's the only ending that clearly portray that they are (at least that's what I thought) settled in their relationship.

Well, I would give 5 stars if Emi's route were not affect my personal feeling that deep. So, I give it 4 stars, owning the 2nd place. ^^

Favourite moment:

It's a strange feeling. A mix of surprise and sorrow, yet also of the deepest gratitude I think I've ever felt.

That one phrase gets it, I think. It captures something right.

Bravo.
