Do you think Misha will have an H scene?

[Yubiseiharukana]

Unless they trollolol us with a MIsha route last-minute, the only way I'd be cool with it is if it was used a plot device to stir things up in Shizune's route, although I'd hate to see Misha used only as a plot device at the same time.

She already is a plot device at this point.

Cue the denial!

*vehement denial*

Seriously though, I really don't want to see Misha be used just as some kind of device to get Hisao closer to Shizune. If Misha's and Shizune's friendship crumbles over a boy, I'm gonna be a very sad panda.
Also, I don't think Shizune's path will need any stirring up. The fact that Hisao can't actually communicate with her when they're alone (except in writing) is enough of an obstacle. And may I remind you of her trap brother Hideaki we have yet to meet? I think that's enough to work with.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but that happens everyday in high schools worldwide.

Then again, KS is not real life.

Good point, but it also does not subject itself to stereotypes as well. So, the question is: Is Misha the jealous type?

[Palas]

As much as I wouldn't like to see Misha as a "problem" if you are aiming for Shizune, I'd also be disappointed if she was set to be a) an unidimensional character full of derp and "It's so cute that you two are dating! Let's party! WAHAHA~!" b) one of those girls present in many VNs who have an obligatory H-scene, almost as a tutorial. It's generally the teacher, but everything is subverted in KS anyway.

Either way I'd feel she had much wasted potential.

OMG YOUR A PANDA!
but yea i agree at first i didnt like shizune so much but after her route she has moved up my list by a 2 spots. so i agree i think it would destroy the whole plot of the route. in their case i guess one would say hoes before bros xD

Hmm, I wonder. If Misha was jealous of Hisao, because he gets to spend so much time with Shizune...well, I'm down with that. That means they're just a proper talk away from getting along again. But Misha getting jealous because she wants Hisao as well? Hell, no. It's like the plot of every bad soap opera out there.
And I'm getting tired of everything revolving around the guy. (Well, okay, the whole VN revolves around Hisao, since he's the main character and all, but you know what I mean)
estrogen solidarity!
chicks before dicks!

I mean, not every girl is willing to give up her best/only friend just to be with a guy she may or may not have a future with. *shrug*

[Xeoniriel]

I'm almost confident in saying that there would be a random H scene with a stapler before there will be one of Misha since they already said there will NOT be a "Misha route and stop asking." I'm also certain that there will be no threesome, random MishaxShizune yuri, or sex with non-route characters; unless of course the devs are trollzing us to death, which would raise the question why they would go through all the effort of waiting 5 years and maintaining websites, ect.

Girls who ARE willing to give up their best friend for the guy are a minority indeed, as far as I'm concerned. And it's not that everything is revolving around the guy... you see, from Hisao's perspective, only 1 (one) path actually occurs. We see the big picture, but as a story, it's one single story.

And I'm perfectly sure that the devs, if they were to include jealousy in the equation, would make it the other way around. Shizune would be the one to get jealous without Misha even getting to know why - which is far more plausible since, you know, it's Shizune (inb4 G3n0c1d3 reads this and rants). I predict a scene in which Shizune dismisses Misha and hunts Hisao down to get things straight. In tears. And Hisao not being able to understand her. Yeah. This. I see this happening.

EDIT: The inexistence of a Misha route does not mean an inexistence of a Misha ending, this one being considered bad as well.

I agree. Shizune is more likely to be the jealous type, especially if she thinks she may lose Hisao to somebody else, best friend or not. It's already pretty well established how she feels about losing in act 1.

Considering that Misha is her medium, though, how would Shizune express jealousy?

Kick Misha in the dick. Punch Hisao in the cunt.
Write a big ass "I'M JEALOUS" on Misha/Hisao's door.
Make a "I'M JEALOUS" expression.
etc.
