I can't easily see Hanako striking up a friendship with Misha. While Misha's friendly and non-judgemental, as has been said, her tactlessness could easily trigger Hanako's apprehensions at random. There's also the matter of Misha standing out a lot. (even moreso than a tall blonde like Lilly) The co...

I don't think she'd even get that far. We're talking about a country with a history of segregating its schools and workplaces and that has had a cultural fixation on cleanness and purity. (openly flaunting disfigurements would cause quite a bit of discomfort) If Hanako'd even get the confidence to a...

Look at her in Lilly's route. She's happy all the time she starts to make even more friends and even is going to go on a trip with them. To me when it comes to cannon info she's better off in Lilly's good end then she is in her own. She's not happy all the time. She has a breakdown around her birth...

Pretty much this. Japanese are some of the most highly educated people on the planet and without finishing high school Hisao'd be extremely unlikely to get a decent job. Especially since any job involving physical labor is already off his list.

Note that Emi is, objectively, a little rude or at least a little foul-mouthed. TheHivemind admitted that this was a little trait of himself that ended up leaking into the route.

I didn't really see that as Hanako accepting Hisao's help, but more like not really being in a position to accept or refuse.

Hanako doesn't need a white knight, not at that point or at any other. As the nurse points out after Hanako's breakdown: she simply needs a friend.

To help someone overcome their greatest fears and demons and to see them improve and have them love you and all. It's essentially one of the most beautiful things in life. Actually. This is probably why i'm a HUUUUGEEE Hanako fan and not an emi fan. Hanako's route isn't about Hisao helping Hanako o...

am very angry at the fact that such a cute bouncy girl turns into a emotionless jerk who gets away with things because she can say sorry and have sex So...out of curiousity; what exactly WOULD she have to do if an apology isn't good enough? Anyway, you rather obviously failed to grasp Emi's issues....

Ofcourse she's shy around everyone, she has burn scars and is embarrassed. But even whenever it is shown Hanako talking with other characters, she has seemed to be frightened more by Hisao more than anyone, in the start atleast. The only person Hanako interacts with is Lilly who is her only friend....

Did they? Admittedly some routes wrap things up more than others, but "wide open" usually implies cliffhangers that my version of KS didn't have.

Like others said, Rin's very difficult to write properly. Both her way of thinking and her way of speaking are so unusual that writing her is probably a matter of instinct. Without that connection, every single line you'd have her speak would be a puzzle you had to figure out. It's hard to write a f...

So, I think Hanako is naturally shy and somewhat prone to anxiety. Without that tendency, she could very, very easily be the type that puts her bullies in the hospital, and then over the years, slowly mellows out. I'm not sure if I agree with the idea of an extremely agressive Hanako. (or even an a...

I guess a better question, which the post just above mine merely reinforced, is "should it"?

Is a post count really a milestone though?

I believe the devs mentioned once that Hanako's right eye actually does function like it should, since they were asked before whether Hanako was half-blind.
