When the alarm goes off the next day, I find myself waking up without much complaint. I guess my body's learning to anticipate this new schedule. I also fell asleep rather early last night. I never really had any sort of routine before. It’s kind of nice. I’m halfway through taking my pills before I...

A back-and-forth debate on whether or not I got Rin right? Meh, I'll take it. I would say that I was going more for EclipsiumRasa's interpretation, but it's really hard to get that across, especially from Hisao's point of view. Remember, on this route, Hisao met Rin, helped her carry some paint, and...

I think the only story of his I actually know is that of the Grinch - and that mostly because of the Jim Carey movie. I'm so sorry. Really, I am. At least that one wasn't quite as bad as the movie for "The Cat in the Hat." Here in the U.S., he's pretty big. I first learned to read on the "Easy Read...

I mean that they are intentionally slighting Hisao and her relationship with him by refusing to use his name. Hisao doesn't realize this because Lilly (surprise!) lies about it. Perspective Time! You are parents of a lovely daughter. Your daughter is blind. For various reasons, you had to leave for...

It may be the fact that it was kind of half finished (someone left the team in the middle of it) so the side characters (Hideki in particular) didn't get any kind of development and there was almost no conflict other than Misha being a little depressed (and those drills. cmon why did they have to g...

I'll be honest, I'm jumping into the middle here, but the one thing I want to point out is the reason they might not be able to go north for the hoidays is that Lilly specifically mentions that they had already sold the house in preperation for Lilly and Akira leaving Japan. Fair enough. Yet anothe...

And on the second matter, I challenge you to a derail-a-thon. (Much to Silentcook's despair...) That's an excellent way to get yourself temp-banned (or worse). Especially with you discussing Lilly vs. Shizune when there was a thread explicitly established to be the closest to an appropriate venue f...

Let's consider this: 1. Hisao enters Yamaku during early summer, so it is safe to assume that all storyline takes place during the particular season. 2.The end of Lilly's timeline extends to the end of summer--possibly to early fall (based on the CG art of the epilogue). 3. The little field trip wi...

Climbing the stairs, it occurs to me that the roof is a pretty stereotypical romantic location, and it is just the two of us. Is she planning something? No, that couldn't be it. I don't want to ruin our friendship over something so silly, so I'll let her make the first move. It's safer that way, sin...

The distressingly familiar sound of the alarm is an unwelcome wake-up call. I never kept any exercise routine before; to have one forced upon me is more than a little annoying.   Shutting off the alarm, I stumble over to the dresser and contemplate my options for swimming. My parents must have been ...

The entire time I've experienced Katawa Shoujo, I still have NO idea what "Shicchan" Or "Hicchan" means.

The choices are simply another element of the narrative. Each arc uses choices differently. In Lilly 's Route, you can fail a mere six scenes in, but the failure doesn't manifest until the end. There are three significant choices, and you need to get all three "correct" for the good ending. In Emi '...

I wake up to a blaring alarm way too early in the morning. I must have never changed it after the disaster that was my last run with Emi. I fumble for the snooze button and the alarm shuts off, but it's too late. I toss and turn to try to get back to sleep and wake up at a sane hour, but I'm already...

Love does exist, but it's not something you find - it's something you make. Both of the people involved need to be mature enough to approach it properly. Both of the people need to be properly invested in the relationship. But it does happen. You may think you have particular preferences for a girl ...

Thinking on it, it looks like we have a general theme going: Different girls appeal on different wavelengths. (Yes, bow down before my impressive gifts of perception!) Some girls appeal primarily to the emotions, while others primarily appeal to the intellect. Lilly's appeal is primarily an appeal t...
