The decisions you make affect which path you get.

You usually fuck the person who's route you get.

That feel when you finish rins path.

[Kain]

It's happy, but fuck if her route isn't horribly depressing.


RIN FANART AND SUCH, GO!

Spoiler:

[C0FFINCASE]

Miki's weird, she only ever appears in a few scenes, but she has a name, and a defined personality. She's also hot as fuck,

Right? she's a very compelling character dispite having such a limited role and she is hot as fuck. I guess they thought she'd be to similar to Emi but really they're pretty distinct from what I can tell.

Also fan art = awesome.

[Kain]

I have tons more.

Gonna do them in semi-random order, and then post general stuff. (General = Kenji, Mika, groups)

[HTML]

I thought Miki was a lesbo.

Made me sadface irl

[Kain]

Miki is confirmed bi.

[C0FFINCASE]

Lilly:

Spoiler:

Fucking hell Lilly. Seriously what the fuck?!
Argh, rage!
I almost cried. Do you know how hard it is to make me cry? I watched two men die and I didn't cry. Two! A fucking fictional girl in a video game captures and ruins me in a damned afternoon.
edit: I assumed I was done, appreantly there is more, even if things right themselves this was an emotional rollercoster I didn't need.

[Kain]

This sounds like a good time for Lilly fan art.

Spoiler:

[C0FFINCASE]

That...was...AWESOME!


So far she's my favorite, even if her story nearly destroyed me.
Doing Rin's now.

[Kain]

Rin's will destroy you so much more dude.

[HTML]

Is there an alternative route after beating the game?

[Kain]

Nope .

[C0FFINCASE]

Rin's will destroy you so much more dude.

No want be sad again.

[Omlett]

The anal scene was pretty awkward...

[C0FFINCASE]

Rin: Awnsers door half naked.
Is she really going to be all upsetting? I've enjoyed/understood her purposed lack of identity and trouble with changing and self-doubt because I have long had similar feelings. Actually I can't speak as half as well as I type.
Not done with Rin,up to gallery thing.

Spoiler:

Its fun, and maybe I'm compelled to share now rather than later, even if no one read it, that this is my life. Not that Rin's life is my life but Hiaso's maybe. Its not exact but this situation this fall in love with an artist you can't understand, push her and be there for her as she finally moves forward towards whatever future it is she's supposed ot have. Actually its hilarious to me that I know this relationship so well, my artist wasn't so quiet but just as confusing in a different way and it was as awkward to continue to be her friend when I wanted more as it is to experience Hiaso and Rin.

[Kain]

You're not in the woods yet, cowboy.

[C0FFINCASE]

You're not in the woods yet, cowboy.

Dude that was not harsh at all. I enjoyed that so much. My actual situation stayed in limbo, this resolved into happiness. Why aren't real people as wonderful as this?

*Realizes that all have good, bad,and nueteral end meaning I have to play through twice more

[Kain]

The bad endings hurt, a lot.

[C0FFINCASE]

The bad endings hurt, a lot.

I figured. I don't really want to know what Rin's or Hanako's bad endings are like but I want 100% so I have to find out I guess. The solution to these problems is more fan art.

[CL0V3R]

I actually think I liked Shizune's bad end better.
Just finished both ends. /isslow

Really? I didn't like her story at all.

Spoiler:

Also how you going to sex your girlfriend's best friend during emotional trauma?

time?

I think that's why I liked the bad end better.

Spoiler:

I play both ends for completion normally, took the bad end first. I like that in the bad end considering she finally admits she needs to change, wanting time alone, both Misha and Hisao leave Shizune. Hisao isn't stuck chasing her and Misha doesn't have to be in that weird awkward feelings toward Shizune / being used by Shizune zone. She finally sees she can't always push people around to get her way and she's stuck all alone for not realizing sooner. That's why I like the bad ending better. I love that Hisao just gets up and walks away from her leaving her sitting on the back steps of the school. I think I must have really hated Shizune. Maybe I'm just bitter she didn't seem to care when Hisao said "I love you" at the end. Or the fact I still feel she came off like a bitch most of the time and really took Misha for granted. Either way I did not like her or her story for the most part.

I agree with that. I don't know, maybe I feel like Shizune's life sucks enough that I didn't need the bad end, particuarly since the good end still leaves everyone alone.
I am someone's Misha which gives me huge sympathy for her but also makes me want to slap her. In that situation you either take hit for them because of how much you care or you walk away because its not worth it to you, they're not worht it to you. She managed for three years and gets special relationship with her any way which really tips the scale to "take a hit". Fucking get it together.

*Spoilers in white and possibly spoilers not in white*
True but I really feel Misha got the short end of the stick considering Shizune even admits she looked down on Misha and thought of her as a tool for communication. I think had Shizune not strung Misha along to some degree she wouldn't be in that situation. Shizune even "yells" at her and tells her to stop being sad and pushes her just to be all happy again. She even admits to Hisao she was basically manipulating him in the beginning and does it to everyone. That she wants to draw everyone in and maybe it's not a good idea to do so. She continues to do it anyways. She comes off having huge control/power complex. In fact it's another reason why I like the bad end because it seems like Misha finally is like fuck this I'm out. Then during the bad end she talks about trying to be less selfish and says she's going to stop talking to Hisao. He tells her that's the most most selfish thing she can do. Then walks off. Keep in mind she never actually found out or at least it's not explicitly stated that she knew about what happened between Misha and Hisao.Though I think Misha should have been stronger to a degree... but it makes me wonder if she tried to stop being friends with Shizune before. If she had she probably would have just chased her around until Misha agreed to be friends with her again. Just like she did in the good and bad ending, except in the bad end Misha doesn't forgive her. I guess part of me felt like "Fuuuuuck I'd go out with you Misha" ;___; Plus Shizune seemed so hush hush about their relationship that I wonder to what extent did Misha know? I'm sure she knew but it didn't even seem like Shizune really cared about Hisao except when she was fucking him. I think if I had turned off the Hentai you wouldn't even be able to tell there was any connection there.

I guess one of the main reason's I disliked her is she makes no compromises with anyone. It's always her way and everyone else with a different opinion is an idiot or a slacker... Or just not up to her standards. I feel that's just more of an excuse to justify why she should get her way. It's more of an "I do it, so everyone else should have to too!" That's not how good relationships work.

[C0FFINCASE]

Its a horrible way to conduct relationships. I don't feel she comes out for the better no matter which way you go. I wanted better ends. And I agree about the relationship. I couldn't figure out if there was relationship because nothing went on almost ever. Sex =/=love but come on.
She just seems like a terrible flawed person. I don't know if that was the point or what. Lilly and Rin are my favorites. I still maintain I'd marry a woman if she was like any of the female cast minus shizune.
I need the sequel to this. Even if its just a novelization or something, I need to know how each story turns out in the future.

[Reserved]

Haven't played in a while. Might start it back up. Have to finish Hanako. If you know what I mean

LOL.

[Snow-kun]

Finally had the time to start and finish it.
I have mixed emotions after finishing it :/

EDIT:
Any more suggestions of games like this?

[XXX-Chocoholic]

sounds interesting. o...o

So it is a dating sim? An ibook? (interactive book)

or is it like the really old school style rpg?

You guys catch all thebeta stuff that leaked?
Some of it was pretty interesting.

Also anyone else followingthe progress of Love-Despite?(KS spin off)

No. : o I haven't heard any of this stuff!
I'm going to have to check it out.

Definately need to.
Beta stories for some of the characters are subpar. Hannako's is good but only because it's crazy. I haven't gone through them all yet.
Love Despite startedas a sequal to KS but became its own game. It looks like a knock off but I've heard good things.

[Snow-kun]

Someone definitely needs to post more download links.

It's not done. They have a forum and a few sites. I do not know when it's to be released. I'm a member of the forum simply so I'll get updates about release dates or betas.
