Katawa Shoujo Forums

This is going to sound really strange, but I was just sitting around listening to a bunch of people in a restaurant. One of the things I do is ethnographic research, so I tend to do the necessary framing in my head when not otherwise occupied. And then it hit me: Leaty's Iwanako from Scenes 3 and 4 ...

It does indeed read like one of the Mirror Shoujo versions — Shizune with Emi's personality.

Thinks those thoughts anyway

Damn it brain... Stop making me scared...

Hey, you've come to a place where everyone has damage, so try not to scare us as well!

Sure, you can argue that in order to fully do that I'd have to pull a brythain and tell everyone's story forever, and honestly you'd be right. :shock: If I told everyone's story forever at the level of detail you, my dear colleague, have done — well, I'd be able to cram in a couple more PhD theses,...

Rin's granduncle was Osamu Tezuka, a famous manga artist who lived in Osaka. That's why in 'After The Dream' she retires to Osaka.

Well, if she really wanted to forget about it, she would either not have told Hisao at all or told him not to tell her the next day. I doubt she would have expected him to lie to her - if she had, she probably wouldn't have hooked up with him. Besides, even if you're correct, he also lied about ano...

Readers may find that I've drawn much obvious inspiration from my fellow writers :) Perhaps more important, the title is drawn from Flann O'Brien's 1939 masterpiece of similar name. O'Brien was really Brian O'Nolan. His other book, 'The Third Policeman', is also a masterpiece of subversive humour. ...

I think it's becoming increasingly obvious that Kagami doesn't want to remember what upsets her. She's already sabotaged her own memory on numerous occasions, and I find it hard to believe that this latest slip-up wasn't intentional. If that's the case, then Hisao is trapped in a lose-lose scenario...

Here's a convenient link to the story index on its cover page (because the discussion was so extensive that the link was scrolled away). Also, since nobody's said any different, let's go with Leaty's proposal. :) Iwanako: Mean Time to Breakdown — Prologue (Scenes 1 and 2) (from Wed 01 Jul 2015) — Ac...

Every time I'm wondering what kind of PE Rin does, I remember [this video].

It's inspiring in itself. He doesn't really look like Rin, but I see a bit of Rin in him, and come away thinking of how much she might accomplish.

I am so very happy that this is still going on. It's not a very dramatic scene this time, but a subtle transition, a continuation of narrative, with links to the original corpus. Thanks for the update! (Oh yes, update year is useful sometimes, because some of us can't figure that one out if a lot of...

@Wildecat - I've read the social chameleon theory on these forums a handful of times (possibly from you), and I don't particularly believe it. I firmly believe that Hisao had a sense of self at one point, but his heart attack and extended stay in the hospital obliterated it and turned it into the s...

That's good Rin there. Somehow fairly well in character, interesting to think about, fascinating to listen to. Nice!

Edit: read through a couple times more and decided I liked your Akio and Takashi as well.

This is the tenth section of the fourth part of the redacted archive of Kenji Setou. In which Kenji thinks about remembrance, and finally says goodbye to an old friend.
