I've always wondered who Jigoro's biographer really was. He keeps saying 'she' is late, but subsequently when both Shizune and Misha turn up, Shizune goes into the house with Hisao. I submit that by elimination, Misha is Jigoro's biographer. I would wonder, if not Misha, what kind of person would vo...

As Hisao himself notes, Jigoro has an analytical stare even while he's acting an asshole. Jigoro, neither hypocrite nor jerk, but concerned father, devious schemer, not a nice guy but determined to hold his family together. Well I'm accepting that into my list now. And perhaps worse, relate a lot t...

Playing through KS again, I've begun to suspect that Hisao, although supposedly the POV character, is prone to inaccuracies and exaggerations. That implies that we can't always take the facts implied by his words to be canonical, although the words themselves are canon. In September 2007 in Shizune'...

After playing through Shizune's route again, I've decided that Jigoro was really 'being an asshole/jerk' in the sense that he'd decided to act one in order to test Hisao's responses. Shizune knows this, and tolerates it. Misha is clueless but goes on with it because she likes Jigoro. Jigoro's actual...

Meanwhile, I also think of Miki and Hanako as having come from the same orphanage, where Miki used to beat up the kids who teased Hanako, while Hanako pleaded with her not to be so violent... Except Hanako was bullied at school, not at the orphanage. She mentioned she actually liked that place and ...

Actually, that brings up an interesting question. Do you suppose Lilly would play something akin to a text-based RPG, but verbal? Or perhaps D&D? In between running three restaurants, she puts her legs up and her earphones on and plays text-based RPGs converted to sound. She also has a tactile inpu...

I can also see Yuuko to be into video games. Like strategies; a little bit of Crusader KIngs 2, Rome Total War(1 not 2), Civ 5, etc. Yuuko secretly partitioned Kenji's drive array and stashed her favourite games there. She always leaves for work after him and gets home before him, and gives herself...

From Shizune's route, I see Hanako not so much as having mundane flavour-of-the-month obsessions with games. I see her as having emotional attachments to games that mean something to her in terms of who she played them with, or the associations they bring forth. She plays chess with Shizune because ...

Akira refers to Lilly as "Lils" all the time. Lilly isn't fond of it, but she tolerates it from Akira (and Akira alone). That sounds strangely familiar... I'm not sure why. I may have read it in a fan fiction, but I can't be certain. Earliest one in this forum is by chaix here , and subsequently Gr...

In my headcanon, everyone knows his name — except us. (This may actually be canon, though…) My theory as to why Nurse goes by "Nurse" is that is actual name is something hard to pronounce, embarrassing, or embarrassingly hard to pronounce. My theory is that his name is actually 'Kango' or something...

Well, here I am awake at 3 AM because I finally figured out the last piece to put in place for my first draft. That means I'm only a day or two behind my usual schedule, and if that holds true the next chapter will probably be posted on Wednesday or Thursday. Things I have learned this week: - I ca...

Aaaaaaahhhhhh niice Bryth! I'm just casually wasting time, then -BOOM- new post. So of course I check it out and omg its suuuzuuuuuu!!!! :D I too have caught the fact of Sora's true identity! It must be love, they say love is blind. Could it be that I am losing my mind? I love myself a good rhyme i...

I think Lilly cares a tad about her appearance, that, and Hisao wouldn't let her get grandma glasses. Probably. I imagine her with very lightweight memory-titanium frames that are actually honeycombs containing radar-imaging nanobots. When people look at her, all they see is a trendy young lady wit...

Here begins the third part of the saga of Kenji Setou. Kenji 3: Distant Drums (2015-2020) 2015.04-2015.12 — Year 1 (1) — Kenji becomes a father 2016.01-2016.03 — Year 1 (2) — Kenji learns a lot about friends and family 2016.04-2016.09 — Year 2 (1) — Kenji's daughter turns one, and Hisao says many th...

However, any prescriptiveness in English is along the lines of providing the description and requiring that someone learning the language stick with the existing usage. Contrast with, say, French, where there are influential bodies that explicitly create new words, sometimes even explicitly resisti...
