Same here. Every time.

It might just be me, but I can't not think of Susan Boyle when I hear that song. It kinda takes some of the drama out of it

I don't care for Les Mis. I feel many arguments with Hanako would ensue.

The first time I saw KS was when my older brother showed me him playing it. I was pretty uninterested at first and blew it off. I never expected it to come back for me a year or two later when I saw one of my favorite YT'ers playing it. He played through the Lilly route and I got instantly hooked. Soon to have my heart stolen by Rin. (Then later Suzu from Scissor lips)
My name may be "Gravy", but that doesn't mean I like gravy.
I have Narcolepsy.
Favorites in order:
Rin, Suzu, Emi, Lilly, Hanako,Mishaha!, Shizune

You see, that's what splits most KS fans down the middle.
There are those who start reading because the story seems interesting and thought provoking... then there are those like me who started reading because they thought "AHAHAHAHA CRIPPLE ROMANCE THIS'LL BE GOOD" and soon found themselves hooked

I believe he's a cameo from Measuring Shadows, a VN by a couple of the KS devs that didn't launch. Molly is also a cameo from that VN.

For me it was my students going, "Hey man, you gotta try this shit..."

I knew Molly was from Measuring Shadows. Come to think about it that's all I know about Measuring Shadows. Is their any more information about it. As for the guy, I wasn't sure if I was just failing to recognize a named Yamaku student or not.

Is it odd that how I got into this thing started with skepticism of how it is VN written by westerners and thought 'who the hell thought up of this offensive use of word for a VN title?'
Partly, I was expecting some crazy story-less H-stuff. Glad I was wrong on that

Actually, I didn't know it was a VN written by crazy westerners. I thought 'who the hell decided to dig out this offensive term for a VN' too, but I thought they were Japanese until AFTER I went through it. I went through Shizune's route first, so I didn't get it straight away. Only when I went to the website and read the backstory did I discover the truth...

Thanks to the wonder of Shimmie tags, I recently discovered that the guy who Molly is always seen with is called
Florian.

See I wasn't sure for a long time if it was supposed to be Takashi or not.
Katawa Shoujo. We came for cripple porn. We stayed because of the deep and moving characterization, the insight into their plights, and because we grew to love them.

There's also
this picture, on which Florian is tagged and seems to appear in the bottom panel (drawn chibi-style).

Nah, that guy is too tall to be Takashi. But you know, it's interesting how often Takashi appears alongside Molly on the Mishimmie. I think it's safe to say she and Takashi are good friends.

Well… RAITA is Japanese, and he came up with the title, so…
