Kenji, Hisao and Shizune have met at the entrance to Hisao's room in Shizune's Act 4. Kenji is attempting to communicate with Shizune. Hisao: "No, stay out of this. I'll have to translate anything you say to her, and I'm not sure if I could even handle it. And she'll probably misunderstand it, and ...

The part that bothers me is Shizune, and how she treats others. Paraphrasing Shizune, actions speak louder than words. Her actions show me that she only cares about Hisao a little, and doesn't care about Misha at all. The only two people who have been brave enough to try to get close to her. I don'...

Man, that just left me with a huge smile on my face. :mrgreen: I really want some more stories about Taro. No pressure or anything. I second that request! The only thing that made me kind of sad was the scene with Miki and Taro on Mount Aoba. Please say that after graduation Miki doesn't have to be...

ETA: One thing I forgot to mention is my annoyance at Miki running into Hisako in the hallway. She was pretty badly OOC during that scene, I think. Miki is not Emi, nor is she a blank slate on which you can overlay Eminence. That is a very pointed, acute, poignant comment. :) Totally agree. Althoug...

I think the Student Council actually still comprises all the class representatives, because that's the way the school probably has it set up, being a Japanese school. What's happened in Yamaku's case is that Shizune has basically given them all leave of absence from council meetings. They still have...

I think what it shows is that people are similarly distributed in terms of glass half-full/empty no matter what their circumstances are. Still as human as any other kind.

Interesting premise for an AU with the most obvious points being: gender swapped Hisao and Miki for Emi . The text is uneven (typos etc) but Hisako's character comes across very clearly; she can make minor missteps but she's nowhere as dejected and self-loathing as the original, although perhaps she...

I disagree on the "Shizune loves Hisao" part; in the bad end she doesn't seem broken up about it at all and doesn't try to fight for their relationship or anything - she just ends it. This is true of all the girls' bad ends. And so we return to that ironic echo. Shizune thinks about what she could ...

Singapore? Bangkok? Hanoi?

Try Googling this: "Light of the South"

I guess I'm a little late to the party, but when it comes to talking about Shizune, the party never stops. ... At the end of the day, she actually is very much like Jigoro - she's terribly disappointed when people fail to live up to their potential, and does what she can to try to jolt them into ca...

This is the second section of the fourth part of the redacted archive of Kenji Setou. In which Kenji tries and fails to be an international superspy (just kidding) and reflects on growing old. Kenji 4: The World Turned Upside-Down (October 2020-June 2021) I was in Southern Light for three months. I...

Well this feels incredibly... Japanese. Too Japanese. I understand what you're trying to do, but you have to remember that the majority of your audience is neither Japanese nor well versed in Japanese speech. You're writing in English and this just isn't how people talk in English. This whole thing...

If you can read a long rant from Shizune where she actually calls people useless and disgraceful for not doing things the way she wants them done and not see any hint of Jigoro, even after Hisao says that it's like Jigoro's words coming out of her then there's no use continuing this conversation. S...

The one time Shizune sounds like Jigoro at all is when she's parodying him to Hisao. Go back and re-read the part where she's telling Hisao about the old student council after they get back from her house. I've read it, and re-read it. Where is the similarity? Edit: actually, I think the reason mos...

... I thought it was fairly obvious that Shizune shares many of Jigoro 's traits. Even Hisao manages to pick up on this. I don't quite see it. Jigoro is dismissive of Shizune (in many ways) and very critical about appearances. About the only thing they have in common is that they don't really say a...
