Katawa Shoujo Forums

Well since I started a thread on dates:

Emi: Probably would glomp, kiss and cuddle with Hisao as much as he would let him get away with it. And maybe puppy dog eye him into letter her do more, cause it is not sexual harassment if she does it.

Hanako: Holding hands is probably about as much as she would feel comfortable doing, she'd probably run away with Hisao tried to kiss her in public.

Lilly: She is a proper lady, hand holding, light kissing and maybe holding eachother.

Rin:Poor thing, can't hold hands. She's probably kiss alot and lie down on Hisao's lap.

Shizune: Tough one, on one hand, she is someone who likes to keep her feelings close to herself, on the other, she is competitve by nature and I see her as likely to view love in the same terms. She would porbably be as chaste of Lilly one moment and out do Emi in the serial glomper department the next.

Shizune would be the prankster lover.
Embarrassing Hisao publicly would probably suit her more.
just a thought.

Considering Rin leaned on his shoulder when she didn't even know him, who knows what she'd be willing to do in public once she fell for him.

ten dollars on no established relationships until the end of the school year, so whatever public display they may have had is up to the player's imagination as the credits roll.

oh, and Misha will try to poke your face with her drills if you managed to unlock her hidden route

The devs will have a good time with this if I know them well enough.
Taking the aspect of three months into account yet also understanding that a Visual Novel is designed to speed up the relationship process, I believe that they will utilize a decent segment involving public affection.
Shizune: Yes, I definitely see her using times to joke around with Hisao where others can see.

Lilly: The metaphoric usage that can be utilized because of her blindness works well with the concept of not caring what others see, so they will probably be a little more open in terms of kissing and such. However, Lilly's personality must be taken into account so she will care what Hisao thinks about the situation.

Hanako: The pinnacle scene might just be her kissing you in public and that is where the story ends. (resembles the kiss by Kaede at the end of Shuffle!)

Rin: Yes, I do side that Rin would be more public in the notion and might have a scene that I will discuss in the "Would want thread" as well as here. (I have thought of Rin painting Hisao once but there is another thought that comes to mind. After Hisao has joined the art club there is actually one of those nude modeling sessions. Of course is thought to be common in some cases. Hisao is looking for Rin as she is going to be late for the session when Nomiya is about to reveal the art subject hidden by a circular curtain in the middle of the room. He announces the time to start and Hisao's jaw drops as the model is Rin standing nude with nothing but a sheet covering her lower body. She could then respond to Hisao's actions of trying to cover her up maybe or while he is sitting there in shock.)

Emi: She wouldn't be the one to be embarrassed by dressing up in a cat costume for Hisao and acting like a cat around him in front of the school. Her unexpectantly kissing him after sneeking up from behind as some people are in shock while others see it as cute with another couple in the background having a girl that punches her boyfriend on the shoulder saying, "Why don't you do anything sweet like that to me."

Emi: I agree with the consensus that she'd be the most open and cute about the whole thing.

Shizune: Someone said in the dating thread that she seems more likely to hold hands intensely and make it a silent challenge to see who'll give in and kiss the other first. That seems pretty much right for her from what was seen in act 1. I'dd add that she'd likely throw in other competitions like the one where you had to spend the festival with her and Misha. The loser would obviously have to do some sort of slightly embarassing public display of affection for the other. Sort of like Hisao having to wear a large button saying that Shizune is the best and he loves her or something like that.

Lilly: I see her using her cane less and being led around by you more as well as sweet kisses and slight cuddling.

Hanako: I see a LOT of hand-holding, and maybe the occasional hug until she hits a breakthrough and becomes more confident and lets you kiss her in public. I like the idea that maybe a public kiss would be a good ending, whether for a single act or the game itself. Naturally, more would probably have occurred in private, but... yeah.

Rin: I see a LOT of public cuddling. Also, some kissing. Hers is the hardest to sort out since she's pretty spacey a lot of the time.

Challenges and joking do fit Shizune, but that aside, I'd love for her dere dere side to come out and she'd just enjoy holding him close, something sweet like that. She'd only do this when the two are alone, or if she's really comfortable around him.

Well, from what I know, Japanese society isn't too keen on PDA. Even holding hands in public can be enough to make more conservative people raise an eyebrow, and openly kissing would certainly draw some horrified stares from onlookers. But I think it's safe to say realism isn't a huge concern where KS (and visual novels in general) are concerned, so yeah, carry on.

I could see Rin turning this around by embarrassing Hisao in public. If they went somewhere crowded she'd probably blurt out " But we can't do that in the toilet Hisao"

Oh, I agree completely that I'd think she'd be a sweetheart in private, but we're talking about public displays here.

I was tempted to say something earlier about this, but I thought for a second and realized that it's fiction, so who really cares? Besides, a few of the manga I've read don't really shy away from showing PDA, so I'd label it an acceptable break from reality using artistic license.

Rin: Public cuddling is a definate yes, as well as quick pecks on the cheek out of nowhere.

Hanako: I actually see her shyness as causing her to become VERY possessive of Hisao once the relationship start, with her hiding behind him and clinging to him tightly. Hisao will probably have a hard time getting any time when she isn't clinging to him.

Lilly: Escort position while walking, locking elbows. At first she'll still use her cane, but as time progress she simply hold her cane and lean on Hisao more.

Emi: Drags Hisao around constantly by his hand, trying to get him to do and see things. She's likely to call over a few times when Hisao doesn't start moving on his own.

Shizune: I agree with the teasing in public, but sweetness in private.

I see no problem here. Hisao could easily hold her other foot, while Rin hops forward on one leg.
