Our headcanon's gone so deep we have headcanon about the headcanon KS's characters have WE MUST GO DEEPER Hisao's headcanon is that if he writes back to Iwanako and Iwanako actually replies, he'll use up his second chance and die on the spot. This is the real reason why he can't bring himself to re...

Okay, many people passed over Boundaries there, and then dewelar came in with this scything (though not too scathing) and very perceptive critique of A Walk in the Park . I'm actually very thankful for it. Author 'privilege' invoked: I shall attempt to explain, in weak and halting phrases, how this ...

'Misses, Two, Often'

Over the last few months, I've heard and read people in various conversations wondering about what Yamaku was like before Hisao arrived. Clearly, our initial viewpoint is biased because it's Hisao-centric. There are a number of fanfics that address this, but there is still a lot of space to be fille...

This is a piece of hidden lore. Is it part of ' After The Dream '? Well, Kenichi thinks so. But then Kenichi is... one of a kind. He's not a reliable narrator. He suffers from two other problems: 1) he has chronic random synaesthesia, in which the senses are mixed up; and 2) the paperwork says he i...

Wonderful! I love the careful characterisation.

(With a couple of typos... for example:

“And for what it's worth, I the outfit is cute. Light colors work on you.”

Rika wasn't a person to get surprised easily and did a god job at hiding it when it happened.

Yes, Lilly talks a bit strange now and then, but that's something she never said once during her route. Heh, we made the decision to sort of do our own transliteration. So Hanako thinks of Lilly as saying that, though it's not literal. A long time ago, my first friends at Yamaku w h ere Natsume and...

Sweet Jesus, are we finally going to get something Post-LNE where Hanako gets with Hisao!? Unfortunately, If I remember my early AtD history correctly, this story will (eventually) end with Hisao "sleeping underneath the stars" and Emi "gone running"... I hope I'm mistaken, and this turns out to be...

I have to take a short break of about a week (ha, right) and so I'll just summarise the state of the present Book Club meeting, on ' Hisao Nakai—the man and his times '. There are now five pieces (someone nominated a fifth): Reunion: Hisao and Akira Avoid the Family — by FluffandCrunch Classroom Gam...

Literally the entire story is terse. It's narrated and scripted with all the enthusiasm of an excerpt I'd find in the reading portion of a college entrance standardized test. Like I don't mean to sound vitriolic but I'm genuinely baffled that anyone could possibly advocate for it. I advocated for i...

Chapter Two: Later It’s been a month since Lilly left. We still talk, but it’s painful to tell her about Hisao. She wants to hear that he is recovering, that he is becoming his own person, but all I can tell her is that he is undergoing cruel and unusual therapy. Shizune keeps putting motivational ...

All the same, there's something appealing about the concept of an in-universe Greek Chorus, who voice our sentiments, and mirror our hopes and expectations for the characters. Now that's an interesting concept. We've already seen how Nurse is with regard to Emi, but we aren't given much of it. It's...

Thanks for the shout-out! Always feels good to have made a contribution. You've written something pretty powerful in its own right so far, and I'm looking forward to much more. At the end of the hospital scene, however, I thought of this: it's more along the lines of "Can you SEE past the past?"

I thought it was a bit creepy. I mean, I understand the premise, and I like it. It came off as ridiculously meta, but only because it was supposed to, I believe. Some of the dialogue felt just a little too inorganic though. But maybe I just haven't been in the workforce long enough to ship my stude...

Well, I didn't see that coming. I kind of want to see this further explored, because it's so ridiculously complex from a developmental standpoint. So, we have TimeSkip/Misstep/SingleMom!Hanako (possibly) starting a (secret?) relationship with TimeSkip/Hanako/Shizune!Hisao, although Hisao (probably?...
