This is a constant source of tension in Japanese (and lots of other) culture. Why specify Japan ? Because that's the setting of the game, and a place where this sort of thing (the importance vs. impracticality of not troubling others no matter what) is quite prominent culturally. this kind of behav...

I failed Shizune route the first time through. It wasn't even a "mistake" unlike most others, my lust just got the better of me. Haha, I think that's the first time I've seen someone admit that, finally. I suspect a not-insignificant percentage of people retroactively blame Hisao on this one becaus...

Emi and Kenji have high-pitched voices Emi makes sense on that count, due to her size, but Kenji less necessarily so. I always feel like he's more nasal and reedy than high-pitched. I always figured Rin had a low-pitched voice. I dunno why; it just seemed appropriate. I hear her as something like D...

Throughout the route, Hisao is in denial about his heart. He is constantly saying how fine he is, and how nobody else should worry about him, etc. It's really more about the latter part, there — hiding things so as not to trouble others. This is a constant source of tension in Japanese (and lots of...

Yuuko works at the Shanghai and the library. Sometimes simultaneously, somehow. AND nobody else is ever seen to work in either place. And we never see her alleged boss. At least one time that I can remember, Hisao finds one or the other of those places lacking in Yuukos, with some older lady replac...

Emi is eventually headed for a career in nursing, due to her: closeness with/admiration for nurse-kun experience in dealing with what would ordinarily be uncomfortable/gross personal contact out of necessity, as with Rin 's tampons-'n'-such interest in health and fitness generally She manages to tra...

Dunno about you, but I'd make damned sure I had several reminders set up well ahead of time…

It's Rin's body with the head of Nui from Kill La Kill, during a specific scene.

Am I the only one that thinks it makes sense that they both look so similar? In both cases she's got something to, (try) to hide her real feelings behind. With sex, there's the route's main problem, but with her angry face, it looks like she's trying to avoid letting on just how pissed she really i...

Too bad the company headquarters are in Scotland. Having worked in subsidiaries and branches of foreign firms before, I can tell you that this doesn't always mean much. I remember the first few weeks I was in the hospital, I would have visitors every day, be them friends or family. The week or two ...

Well, geez. Now even Suzu has one? How come no one ever makes a Shizune one of these?

*Hisao hit by an inexplicable train*

Rin: "Well, son of a bitch. Wait, when did they put a train track up here?"

Yup. (I recognized the song, but he does credit them in the description.)

Akira : Trouble is, she got her position through nepotism and not by earning it. She knows it, everybody knows it, and she knows that everybody knows. I may be wrong about this, but I believe nepotism is not seen as a bad thing in Japan. One of the concepts I came up with that Hisao's parents are d...

Misha also has a "Kerry-Edwards 2004" t-shirt. Misha picked up a bunch of obsolete clothing items in 2005 for cheap, and she thinks the English on them looks fashionable even though she doesn't think too hard about what any of them mean. For example, she also has a "St. Louis Cardinals — 2004 World...
