Have you read (at least, made aware of) Brogurt's fanfic Mendacium?

Short summary: Post Good End Hanako cheats on Hisao

What are your thoughts on that?
Honesty I haven't, but I will put it on my reading list.

If you look up the interview I did with Shintai123 on YouTube you'll hear my standee on dan fiction... But give me a but to read this one.

:o

And by all means, do not think that this post is any sort of indication that I don't want it to be read. I most certainly would like it to be read, and even better if its faults and triumphs are addressed and commented on.

I'd read it, but I'm very distrustful of fanfics.


Also your avatar makes me want to punch you in the face.


Fuck you, Gary.

Maybe not the best place to ask, but I'll give it a shot. According to the Kickstarter page for the art book, it says that after the convention and all online orders are taken into account that you'll sell the remaining books online. Now that AX is over, any indication on how many books are left and when they might go on sale? I really wanna get my hands on one. Where would I best look out for news regarding this?

Well, Hanako cheating on Hisao doesn't sound very realistic nor romantically beautiful to me, so I guess I won't be reading that fanfic anytime soon. Well, this is a topic dedicated to questions about Katawa Shoujo though, so let us don't go offtopic.

After that thought crossed your mind you should have refrained from clicking the submit button in the first place

I always have more questions that when I end up on the question thread. Oh well, I guess you'll see me popping up every now and then with a question or two.



Anyway, this is a question specifically for those who composed the soundtrack, which was absolutely stellar by the way. So atmospheric and descriptive, probably one of the best OSTs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. My question was: A lot of the songs are listed as having multiple contributing composers. How was it working with others on the same songs? Did they bring different things to the table?

Guest wrote:Hello. I've finished playing the game now. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Here are some questions I feel compelled to ask about the production of this fascinating game.

In Emi's route, if you 'misstep' while visiting her house, is there a reason she grins sadistically? This one frame seems out of place while the rest of the game seems to interlock perfectly. It's almost like you wanted to use a different frame of Emi gritting her teeth and didn't have one - is this the case?

In Rin's route, is there any way to avoid blowing up in anger at Rin? Or is it simply destined to happen?

Is it possible to die from your heart condition at any time in the game? I understand it is possible to fall off a roof.


Are there any scenes in this game which are not listed as in the game until you discover them? I could have sworn I had seen all of Act 1 - and then, I stumbled across new scenes in it. I mean specifically 'Nc5xb3'. Are there other secrets?

How can you view the credits without clearing a route?

Does Rin shave, or is it natural? And if she does, HOW?

Why does Misha not play Risk? Risk with only 2 players is very boring.
You could find out the answer to most of these questions by just playing the game, but here we go:
1. Too lazy dig up the exact cue, it can be a visualization error or just in your head. Dunno.
2. There's no way to avoid Hisao getting angry at Rin
3. It's not possible for Hisao to die due to his condition in KS
4. There are no secret scenes. Nc5xb3 is not a secret scene.
5. You can't view the credits outside of reaching an ending
6. I'll leave that up to your imagination
7. Misha does play, but she's terrible.

Looks like unfortunately you're out of luck. Almost the entire print run was sold, so there's not enough books to bother setting up sales stuff for.

Here's a question that's probably been asked, and probably been answered, and is probably buried somewhere in the giant stack of information associated with Katawa Shoujo.

Where in Japan is Yamaku supposed to be exactly? What region, I mean.

I'm sure it was said somewhere, maybe even in the VN itself, but my brain is betraying me.

OK, here's a more specific question.

When does the Yamaku 3-day break actually happen? Trying to establish a timeline has been making me crazy.

I'd also like to know when exactly they celebrate Tanabata. I looked it up and there's a range of days it could fall on depending on region and local customs.

Speaking of Tanabata, how come only Shizune's route had it?
