One thing that I'll note feels a touch odd is Misha's handling of Emi, given that there's canonical indications that she likes Emi x Hisao, too. But, then, she is dealing with a Hanako that's in a rather fragile mental state right now... And, to steal a quote from your posting in my own thread... I ...
The interesting thing is that Hanako's slowly realizing that she has a few potential friends other than Hisao and Lilly. The sad thing is, I see where this trainwreck is going, and it's nowhere good for Hanako, at least not in the short term. Mind you, if Hisao gets back with Lilly, which is looking...
Where does Akira abuse it? She's old enough to drink legally and she doesn't get drunk in a single scene. Alcohol isn't seen as a drug in Japan anyway. Quite the opposite, it's an essential social lubricant. The part where she's several beers in, in a public park, and also a fair amount of what sur...
Suicidal ideations, however, are not normal, and are a sign of mental illness. (Not saying that depression counts as her "official" disability though. It may actually be her real one, much like how Hanako's real disability is her anxiety and depression, but it's probably not her "official" one if sh...
Not all drugs are illegal, and alcohol is a legal drug. And Akira canonically abuses it, and you can see the canonical moment where Hanako starts abusing it (during her birthday party), by using it as an anti-anxiety drug. Also, this is probably a thread for NekoDude, given what he's doing with his ...
Here's the soundtrack, FWIW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAXfhWUFIGA&list=PLHT97Xg067fC17Yw_mBIoeOhx8w1cElcg&index=1 Meant to get it posted yesterday, but didn't get around to it. The reason for the last two songs (which haven't appeared yet) will become apparent a month (minus a day) from now, I...
Out of curiosity, were you aware of the age rules for admission to Japanese school? http://www.esri.go.jp/jp/archive/e_dis/e_dis170/e_dis162.pdf is my source: For example, primary schools in Japan accept entering students on April 1 and children who are age 6 by that day enter primary schools for th...
I was thinking something along the line of neuroplasticity (because it's obvious that there's a defect with her eyes themselves). In any case, I was thinking that sight for her would simply not be a sense that she has - sight to her would be something like what, say, telepathy is to other people, a ...
Also, given that she was blind from birth, would her mind even process the lack of input from her eyes as seeing black, or would she just not have pathways in her brain to handle input from her eyes at all?
Akira doesn't really mother Hanako all that much. Not that squicky. Lilly does mother Hanako a lot. Quite squicky. Even if it weren't for the squick factor, I think Hanako's undercurrent of resent for Lilly's treatment of her would get in the way of any kind of romantic/sexual relationship. And, the...
Let's get Emi and Hideaki to be friends somehow. (We know Shizune doesn't swing the right way for this horrible, horrible idea to work.) Then... use the Motherlover thing, although with a gender flip on one side. Meiko x Hideaki, Emi x Jigoro. You're welcome. Is there anything you base that assumpti...
