Katawa Shoujo Forums

So I want to know when you all think misha started liking girls, did she just start with shizune? Or do you think it was a longer thing that she's always really known about?

Also as a little side question who else apart from shizune do you see misha going well with? But the rulse are: 1) it has to be believable, so you can't make up wild goose chases as a back story, it has to be clear and believable backstory. 2) it has to be a girl in katawa shoujo and can either be a side OR another main girl.

Aaannnnddd...... BEGIN!

I don't really know if Misha's inner coming out started with Shizune. She mentioned in the 'comforting scene' that Hisao is her first time with a boy.
But if her sexy times in the past took place before or after she fell in love with Shizune I can't tell.

I would guess before, seeing as she seems really hooked on Shizune.

True but there always is the possibility that she tried to forget her through mindless sex with other girls.

Are we really putting this much thought into a side character's sexuality?

Misha has always liked girls. She didn't turn gay, because that's not how it works.

It's implied by dialogue that part of her reason for attending Yamaku was to escape bullying due to her preferences, so she's been (sort of) out since before she attended Yamaku. Dialogue also implies that she's had at least one relationship (or at least sexual encounter) with a woman, who was not Shizune.

She's pretty gay. Hisao's just too thick to realize it until he gets flat out told about it.

Apparently.

That's true, but realizing that she was could've took a while.

That's new to me, maybe I should reread that bit.

Also true.

This is kind of where speculation breaks down.

As far as we know.


Anyway, she probably started as soon as she developed enough interest in human genitalia to make the call.

I couldn't give you a scene number or anything, but it's part of Shizune's route. It comes up in the discussion about why she's at Yamaku, when she mentions that she's there on a scholarship. She doesn't come right out and say why she was bullied since we're still maintaining the illusion that she's not gay at that point, but there's not really a ton of ambiguity to it in retrospect.

Dialogue during Emi's route also suggests that she's picked up on the fact that Misha likes pockets more than pool cues, and they don't even share a class. It doesn't seem to be much of a secret.

Where is that? I missed that cue.

Miss too many and you'll be out of pocket too…

So that's why I can never sink it...

I'd love to know what he's supposed to have picked up on prior to being told the backstory…

Yeah, I certainly couldn't see anything. She actually reminded me a lot of a friend of mine... and I'm pretty sure she's not.

Yeah...Pretty sure nobody picked up on it until she told it. xD
