Molly is another character who deserved a route
Is molly one of the girls in last part of Shizune's route?
meh, didnt find them interesting.
Looks like I'm late to the party on this. So far, the game is pretty fun, but I'll be honest and say I have no clue what I'm doing. I think I'll just click what sounds about right and see what happens.
ACT 1
Also, since the game has so many endings, is there a good time to save, or a route to take through Act 1 so I haven't yet locked myself out of any line?
ACT 1
The game of Risk took me by surprise, why do I get the idea that the choice there was more important than it let on. Also Kenji is somewhat paranoid.

Don't worry about it Commander. Skip feature will plough through text you've already read so multiple playthroughs is a breeze.
*salutes*
I'm so going to be stuck with being "that X-Com guy" now. Not that I mind, there are much worse things to be stuck as.
Thanks for the tip, fighting aliens might have to take a backseat today thanks to this game... What an odd pair of games to alternate between, come to think of it.
So like McNum I'm late getting into this game as well. I just got around to meeting Emi. I'm definitely not sure what to make of this game so far. I'm constantly paranoid that whatever choices I'm picking have far more weight than they appear to have. I have so many save files hah!
And I'm quoting the lyrics because I made this my ringtone last night.

Why does this not surprise me at all? Hahaha.
Wait, what?
Oh, it's been misinterpreted. I meant I was playing both concurrently.

That way the terrible monsters can cripple your character so he can go to Yamaku.
Damn GAF. Just finished the Lily route. A lot of twists towards the end hit close to home for me. I'm glad I got the good ending to cheer me up a bit. I think with it leaving off on the bad ending would just have me stare at my screen for a good while in depression. I'll do some more playthroughs but I don't think my first experience will be topped.
Does the game ever say what Misha's disability is? Might try for Shizune to find out. I'm curious.

Based on her personality and behavior, I'm pretty sure Misha is at least a little mentally challenged. I'm glad she didn't have her own route. TheWell, finished finally all the routes possible.
Amazing game.
Here are my lists:
Routes:
Lilly>Hanako>Rin>Emi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Shizune
Girls:
Lilly>Hanako>Emi>Misha>Miki>Rin>>>>>Shizune
Last Words:
-Lilly waifu material.
-Why u dont have routes Miki and Misha
That is all.
forced and awkward sex scene
I really liked her character, though. Out of all them, Misha's "voice" was probably the most distinct and fun to read.
You're not alone, strangely enough.
Except that DS kicked the shit out of me as soon as I left the tutorial zone and I've been scared to go back. Damn you, casual games!

I played it start to finish in one sitting.... I think I liked it. I wasn't sure which girl to for in Act 1 and accidentally ended up with Emi, but that was okay because I liked her anyawy. Emi's arc hit a little too close to home though and her issue kind of pissed me off but I was satisfied by the end.

I'll admit that Lilly is truly waifu material, but nothing shall end my Hanako love.
By the way, has anyone had the Skip mode glitch on them and actually not skip text you've seen? It's happened to me a bit and I just decided not to use it.

I don't think Mischa has any condition. In Lilly's route we find out that you don't need to have any disability/medical condition to attend Yamaku, it's not a private school restricted to those with medical needs just one that is capable of caring for those that do. In Shizune's path we learn that Mischa is recieving a reduced tuition fee because she is studying to become a sign language teacher (on some kind of scolarship?)

Agreed. Though there might just not really be enough to her to make an interesting route out of... even though she's definitely a cool person.-Why u dont have routes Miki
That is all.

Emi's mum DLC = me retracting any negative statements I may have made about Katawa
Just went for my first jog in years.
Playing a sedentary character with a heart defect kinda made me realize the sedentary lifestyle I've been living the last few months isn't doing any favors for my own heart.
I figured, what the hell, I've got time and energy to kill and it's kinda nice-ish out there for once.
So, thanks to Katawa Shoujo for nudging me into give jogging another shot. It's not as bad as I remembered it.
I guess you can count me among those who were "MOVED TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON BY MAI WAIFU ;_;" then?

Oh yeah, MILF material with Emi's mum.
So DLC with Misha, Miki and Emi's mum please.
But I suppose Emi's mum
You call it mentally challenged, i call it fun and extravagant character
Apart from 2 or 3 tracks (fucking afternoon track, not only is mediocre but also too high in volume compared to the rest when you play the game) the rest of the soundtrack is amazing. Caged Heart, Nocturne, Friendship, Innocence...

is dating the doctor, if you read carefully what both of them say

I had a counterargument all typed up, but I don't want to rain on anyone's parade. I don't even want to be right, anyway.
I love that they released the soundtrack for free. Can't get enough of it.

I don't have a parade. This is a discusion board so I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to share your opinion.

It'd be odd to release the game for free but charge for the soundtrack :lol

I listens to that religiously. Every day. It gets to me every time.
You can't sign for someone that is as bright Shizune and be mentally challenged.

According to developers, Misha is in Yamaku because one day she broke her fingernail and her parents seriously overreacted.

Because I think I'd like Misha more if I was wrong, and I feel like I'm arguing for the sake of arguing. But since you insist:
the facts you pointed out from Lilly and Shizune's routes don't really invalidate the question of Misha's mental health. Given the realistic light that KS shines on its characters, Misha's naivete, obliviousness, and over-the-top mannerisms seem to go beyond "quirky." In Shizune's route(I think), there were a number of times where the author went out of their way to point out Misha's odd behavior: flapping her arms/hands, slamming doors open, jumping up and down, utterly failing at volume control, etc.
It's like the "10000 year old witch/god/vampire in a loli's body" cliche, except reversed. Even if we're told that she's fair game, it still feels all wrong.
Also, I think I read somewhere that Misha was originally written as having some kind of mental disability. I'm having trouble finding it though, so don't put too much weight in this.

Sure you can. Look at how she utterly fails to grasp the significance/tone of Shizune's words.
Well, they could have simply not released the soundtrack. It's free in both price and effort.

Rin is even more oblivious and quirky, she just isn't loud. When the person you spend 90% of the time with can't hear you I wouldn't be surprised that somone would develope some exaggerated physical queues in order to attract attention. I felt Her talk with Hisao about her feelings for Shizune and the following distantce and quiteness she maintained showed that she has the ability to be reserved in her personality but she just chooses not too.

I want to believe, but I can't. Maybe I just need to replay Shizune's route with your perspective in mind.
Same here man, such a moving track.

Two of my friends got inspired to go jogging and get into shape because of this game.
I was also inspired to get back into shape, but I'll go back to what I know will whip me into shape, boxing. Now, I'll feel the pain of a bulimic person (I can't wait till the day I stop vomiting during boxing).
