I think the storage shed scene is easily the worst part of Emi's route, and probably the worst part of the entire game. It's painfully unnecessary, awkward, and immature. But, it doesn't influence the quality of the rest of the route or the rest of the game. If you didn't enjoy it, just forget about it. Pretend it never happened, and press on. Emi's route is definitely still worth playing to completion.

Funnily enough, I thought the Storage Shed scene said a lot about Emi's character: she's impulsive, adventurous, and often regrets her decisions, but she'll give it a shot once.

That said, they're never doing that again.

I'd definitely say to see it to the end.

It wasn't my first route, and it's not y favorite, but I'd agree it's probably one the best to start with. It gives you a nice entry into the world without making you an emotional wreck like some of the others do.

It isn't the best part of the game of course, but i didn't hate it. I mean, when you just got into sex, awkward experiments are bound to happen. We all get there at one time or another. It is also typical for Emi's character. Gotta love her for that

@ Oddball: Emi's route affected me more than any other route. Probably because it reminded me of my own life. Everyone will react differently on each act, but they are all amazing.

Fair enough. I probably should have said that it's less likely to make you a wreck than some of the others. Usually when people talk about routes that make them feel bad, Rin's or Hanako's seem to be the most commonly mentioned.

Like you said, though, not every arc affects people the same way.

You must finish Emi's path! Like so many others have said, your near the end, and the end is quite rewarding.

Thanks guys! Oddly I couldn't start another route if I wanted to... I just tried to today and had this nagging feeling like I just abandoned her.
And since I'm near the end, I might as well finish anyway. Once again, thanks everyone! I'll update as to which ending I get.

It's not uncommon. The writers made sure you invested a lot of emotions in her. (Ultimately to no end, of course, but it forces you to stick with that character until you're done.)

REminds me - I've not seen her bad end, yet.

What you did there, I see it.

Yep. Totally sounds like something teenagers would do.

Just finished. Luckily I got the good ending. You guys were right, after the shed scene and the brief part where Kenji comes up, it does pick up again. I really enjoyed her story.

Also looking back at the bad ending, you don't want to see it, trust me. Its totally heart breaking. XD

"Ultimately to no end" Excuse me but what? I don't think you played the same route as I did...

Same here, actually, but for different reasons - it made me realise what utter failure I was with my life, that even a girl without legs could manage better than me. And now I make Emi proud.

Emi´s route was the first I ever finished, and I think that the anal scene is quite realistic: I know people who will not try this kind of stuff again because of a painful first time. I mean, girls, ya know.

But... I think it´s an underdeveolped route. I mean... Emi is childish, her anal sex scene comes with bad timing, is not really sexy, and in the end, she acts like a year-more mature girl than shee looked in the entire game until the last scene.

I was happy to win the good ending, but somehow it disappointed me.

Hanako´s route hit me right in the heart, and I compare tose two routes, which makes Emi´s even more shallow.

Good luck man, and give Emi a good poke for me.

Honestly, I found Shizune's path to be very disappointing.
