Which is cool if the stories gradually approached that point in time from chapter to chapter, but if all other chapters took place over the course of like one and a half week, a time-skip of more than half a year is probably a bit sudden.

I've given a training course on game making once and one of the attendees was a guy who acted almost exactly like Hanako. (he wasn't burned, btw) Wouldn't say a single word unless you asked him a question in which case you usually did get just that...a single word. And most of the time barely above ...

Pure undiluted slice-of-life can be tough to end properly since it's often just "snapshots" in people's days, rather than episodes leading up to a climactic event. If you didn't have any ideas (vague or detailed) on where you wanted to go when you started the story, I'd suggest putting all...

His personality wasn't changed so much as the accident and the experiences in the hospital brought out a more somber and brooding side of him. Drastic circumstances change people. I always think that I could be dead any minute for many reasons (accident, murder etc.) and I have decided to never regr...

Was it really the episode at the airport that made Lilly stay? I mean, it was the reason she didn't board the plane, but in the hospital Lilly once again brings up the reasons for migrating and she only mentions her parents and her sister. I got the impression Lilly's departure was never something s...

Thanks. Glad to hear you enjoyed it and I'm flattered you made an account to post that.

I think it would take her a little while to get settled at another school. Or rather, quite some time. Yamaku was, for all intents and purposes, a very safe environment where everyone had their "defects" and thus, despite feeling otherwise herself part of the time, Hanako was one of many. ...

A better question would be: "What have I ended". The answer to that would probably be something like "the original discussion".

Hanako would choke Shizune nearly to death if Shizune did want Hisao did to Hanako in her bad end. And frankly, out of all the characters, Shizune would be the most likely to just waltz into Hanako's dorm room and drag her out on her birthday, because she's been kinda using that approach on Hisao a...

Shizune is far too confrontational and lacks empathy. Shizune would have utterly broke her. I don't agree there. If anything, Shizune could have been an extremely positive influence on Hanako because of her automatically assuming the other person is similarly intelligent, capable and valuable. In t...

I kid. Well said, and you are right, Hanako does need some support but not a rescuer, though maybe you'd also agree with me that it could have been anyone to help her climb out of her rut, not Hisao or Lilly specifically. Hell, if anything Shizune would have done a better job than Lilly because Lil...

Fair enough. It's hard to objectively debate other people's fanon.

I personally believe that Hanako will leave Yamaku in better shape than she came, but she'd still have a lot of trouble functioning correctly and her social phobia would still be there...frankly, I think even after Lilly's/Hanako's route, she'd still have her baggage, but within her small social cir...

I almost wish this really was a video game and we had complete control over a protagonist, but that probably would have taken too long anyway. Do people really want a protagonist who acts flawlessly in a game like KS that badly? I thought the point was that the player wasn't some perfect person, bu...

More naïvete and cluelessness than actual stupidity since (assuming the player makes the right choices) Hisao does learn from his mistakes and owes up to them no matter what route you take. Also, about Shizune-route Hisao...there's little dispute that at the end of Shizune's route, Hisao is probably...
