Another nice chapter, good to see Miyoto again. There is no tipping in Japanese culture. Seriously? There's a part of me that just doesn't care... but it's only one sentence. Tipping is actually pretty uncommon outside the United States, since waitstaff are paid appropriately to begin with and not ...

Miyako Kitagawa is Hanako's dark side. That's quite insightful on Lilly's part. Does she realize just how close she really is to falling into that other category with Hanako? Very nice passage, that. Yeah, I gotta agree. She and Hanako both showed some impressive insight throughout the chapter. And...

I really enjoyed this, for all of the reasons already given. It really did read like an extension of Hanako's route in the game. Also, I guess I'll be one of the few voices of dissent here and note that the formatting didn't really bother me. It was easy enough to understand what was going on and th...

That would have been my guess. I think Emi's probably a more likely candidate, though.

I'm not sure it does. It's quite easy to have no interest in religion even though you're quite familiar with it. Assuming Hisao's indifference springs from ignorance isn't warranted IMO.

I got the impression it was open-ended by design so that we could use it with any (good end) route.

Forgive me if I don't care about the opinion of a guy who admitted he hits women. Oh, come on! That's not exactly relevant to the discussion at hand. (and forgive the rest of us for not giving a shit about the opinion of someone who won't even show their face! Get a handle and show us who you are a...

It's the middle of the festival, give him time.

True, but I don't necessarily see the meaningless sex with lots of people as throwing the relationship away... more like next-level masturbation. I wouldn't be happy about it but the emotional connection matters much more to me than sex. That's easier said than done IME. Even if she could really co...

So you'd be less hurt by a partners cheating if they were having an extended loving affair with someone else as opposed to having meaningless sex when you're not physically accessible? Of course I'd prefer neither, but of the two the latter is a much lighter hit to roll with, at least to my way of ...

Also Doomish's story doesn't deserve this kind of bickering. I think we all agree on that.

Fair enough.

That's not to say that Miki is "the bad guy" though, since they're all guilty of part of this mess. A case could be made that Hisao is actually most at fault. Given that Hisao and Lilly were both betraying their agreements with one another I'd say they share the bulk of the blame. Miki's ...

Hisao has no right to be angry at Lilly, afterall he's cheating on her too. How about because of the utter contempt she displayed while talking about him with Miki? Miki knew exactly what she was getting into, and if there's more truth than fiction in her cruel story it was her idea in the first pl...

Hisao cared about Lilly. That was the whole problem. If Hisao still hasn't gotten over Lilly, hurting Lilly is NOT going to make Hisao feel better. I really doubt Miki thought things through to that extent. And, given Lilly's response, I really doubt Miki's the one who'd be the target of Hisao's an...

Undoubtedly, but after the realizations that occurred in the ending, she's not going to care about that, since she found out what really matters within an interpersonal relationship, and all that other sappy shit. She did that already. And I understood perfectly what was happening and why. I just d...
