No, but then there's a bit of a problem, I imagine that her anger is something comes out unpredictably, in outbursts she can't control, rather than as something "constantly hidden" in the back of her mind. I don't think Hanako needs to feel constantly angry inside in order to have a very negative v...

If we don't interfere, would Shizune, four months of Hisao into Rin's route, realize due to some event that she might after all see more in Shiina than her closest friend? Would we know, from how Hisao and Rin are total loners at this point ? I don't think sexual orientation works that way. Lilly i...

There's still the rest of her life where the only person that cares about her is Akira. Are you kidding? Lilly's the only one of the girls who's stated to have a lot of friends. Sure, she doesn't do more than socialize with most of them, but Lilly's social skills will pretty much ensure she'll neve...

Thanks for the comments, people. An absolutely excellent conclusion to her story, Guest Poster. Bravo for it. I finished Hanako's route earlier today and felt cheated of a proper story. It felt really bad, actually, and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you. That's kinda harsh. I thought Hanako's...

As Mahorfeus mentioned, Lilly was aware she was in a no-win situation where, no matter what she'd do, someone she cared about was going to get hurt. Lilly's parents want her to move. Lilly's been raised in a traditional Japanese way that says: "a good daughter obeys her parents without question". An...

You could so that, but you could also say that now since she has Hisao around to be with her, will she branch out and want to talk to other people? Hisao and Hanako actually talk about that during her ending. She says she knows she's shy and isn't sure she can talk to others the same way she can ta...

Happy anniversary, Katawa Shoujo. And lovely artbook to boot.

When you are going through Hanako's arc she is quiet and never really comes out of her shell. She has a panic attack and never makes any friends outside of Lilly and Hisao. She eventually falls in love with Hisao however, never-the-less she never does anything outside of interacting with Hisao and ...

Like another poster previously stated, I came here with the recommendation from TvTropes that, "This is literally the single greatest piece of Katawa Shoujo fanfic this troper has ever read. I can't describe it properly. Really, I can't. Just read it." I can safely say that I was not disappointed i...

Xanatos, did you know Shizune used to be popular and Lilly was disliked? I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true. The first person who stood up for Lilly was Lithium, about three years ago. I'm not really all that surprised. Shizune's Act1 part was widely considered the best. She had the large...

Returning IT, I think Hanako is neither mentally nor emotionally unstable, she's only really shy and afraid of what people think about her. As she say in her route, in the past she had no problem being alone, the real problems started when someone (Lilly and Hisao) showed interest in being her frie...

I tend to rate the girls by damage. Hanako being unarguably the most hurt and damaged, with Emi second. Lilly is the least damaged, although I like her right under Hanako. But generally, I go for the person I'd like to make smile the most. Hanako is definitely the girl I'd love to make smile more. ...

Happy New Year. Gee, time flies. I remember eagerly anticipating KS's release last year. Only a few days until the full version's first birthday.

For me, that was a major bummer - for years (after the demo, before the game came out) I was hoping she really WAS like that! But no... the fun and mysterious Rin only exists there, in Act 1, and also a little bit on Emi's route. (I wonder what was the reason for the "change"? I haven't read the ki...

Of course, the biggest reason for that is the fact that Kenji's mostly unaware of the extend of Hisao's interaction with the female part of the student body.
