It all depends on which end Hisao reaches...

If he graduates from Yamaku as a happy and well adjusted young man with a lovely young woman by his side, he'll probability have little or no resentment. If he has a particularly rough time that culminates with a relationship that went sourer or survives the manly picnic, he could become a wreak and blame his parents for it. Either way, it sounds like his parents paid little interest to him during his teenager years. Sure, the long hours they worked away from home encourage him to become independent at a young age, but the lack of guidance during those impressionable years can't be a good thing. God know what Hisao could have done on those walks through the city at night.

Except Hisao already lost contact with his old friends and classmates and due to his parents working long hours, he didn't see them very often at home either. If Hisao hadn't been sent to Yamaku, I imagine his life to have been pretty lonely.
I'm not sure I agree with that, having been through something very similar myself. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Hisao would have reconnected at least some of his friends once he went back to school.

I remember the first few weeks I was in the hospital, I would have visitors every day, be them friends or family. The week or two before I was released however, even my own parents had cut their visits back to once every few days and no friends came to visit. Reconnected with most of them once I got out and back into school.

We never find out if this would be the case because he's sent immediately to Yamaku and never goes back to his old school. Who knows? Maybe he would have actually given things with Iwanako a shot had he stayed, despite his condition.

I may be wrong about this, but I believe nepotism is not seen as a bad thing in Japan.
Too bad the company headquarters are in Scotland.
Nepotism is everywhere in the world, and if she set high enough, no one in his professional circle is going to bothers her. (because they also here by any form of wirepulling or if they really are mounted by themselves so high, they are not the kind of person to show it or they have no such scruples as they do not identify with the masses)

This is the "middle workers" who are embarrassed that some which were manically start where they end their careers.

Hisao almost never mentions or talks about his parents outside of the intro, and I know that while having no parents is kind of an RPG/VN staple, it's obvious that they are there.

His parents sent him to Yamaku because they were at a complete loss at what to do or how to help, and it was the "easiest" solution that required the least amount of effort on their part. Even with his condition, Hisao wouldn't have had to go to Yamaku at all. The only instance where he has another heart attack doesn't happen anywhere near the school grounds and the chances he's been taken to a different hospital than the one near Yamaku are pretty high.

Being picked up and transplanted to a new life, living on your own at a private academy, especially under those circumstances would be enough to shake anyone. The parents might have felt they were giving Hisao opportunities and a safety net, when the net he really needed the most was the ones his friends and family could give.

While it ends up alright in the end, I can't help but feel Hisao feels some resentment towards his parents over that.

I don't think parents of Hisao see it like that, but it's true that maybe Hisao feels something like that.
Yes their relationship is probably not perfect because they are very absent, but this is true of many parents, right?

It may or may not end up my headcanon that Lilly is trampled at a pep rally (look, her constant proximity to Hanako is mildly inconvenient, okay?!). But it is absolutely my headcanon that Misha hooks up with Miki post-Shizune-route.

It doesn't sound like you harbored anywhere near the resentment over the situation Hisao did.

Headcanon: Akira is the one firmly in charge in her relationship with her boyfriend.
NB: none of the above is a request

At the time I sure did. I've had the luxury of fifteen years of hindsight, though. :)

Well it's funny you should say that, it's a most peculiar thing,
Yes it's funny you should say that.


In my storyline, the two have already reconnected to a degree. Instead of blowing off her letter as he did in most routes, or writing back with something scarcely better, he calls her and says "let's meet and talk". Hisao's old schoolmates are treating her like shit, calling her "poison" and making her an outcast. Iwanako "borrows" Hisao to parade around in front of these people...

...but they don't care. They just like having an omega around to pick on. When Neko decides her future lies in Australia and not in Japan, he doesn't want to leave. Meanwhile, Iwanako has been doing some of the diligence Hisao should be doing, like asking for letters of recommendation from teachers to send to Tohoku University. He finds out, but assumes it was either Neko or Sally doing it, and keeps his mouth shut.

In the end, Iwanako just stops giving a fuck what her classmates think of her, since she'll have a new social group hundreds of kilometers away at Tohoku. When she finds out that Neko and Hisao have separated (which doesn't surprise her in the least), she'll make her move.

I'm not sure about the Miki lesbian thing, (I really don't know her enough yet to know if that makes sense, let alone her being with Misha) but I'm very okay with that image. They look cute together.

In my headcannon, Shizune rejects Misha not because she has an aversion to being a lesbian, but because while Misha is a good friend, Shizune wants a partner that can push her and challenge her.

In fact, given how opposite their personalities are, if they weren't thrust together because of circumstances, I don't know if they would be friends at all.

No, I think she's hetero (like all the girls except Misha), but I agreed with the fact that if even she was bi, it would not mean she would necessarily love Misha.

I concur, my fellow water-based life form.

I'm honestly flabbergasted by the fact that they are so close, considering their personalities conflict with one another's so dramatically. I suppose opposites attract... Just look at all those buddy comedies with 2 characters of completely parallel personas...

... :idea:

Headcanon: Shizune and Misha co-star in a sitcom about a taciturn tyrant and a lively lesbian sharing an apartment together, and getting into wacky shiichanigans.

I saw an opportunity, and made it...

Oh dear. The moment I read that, I thought of a sitcom about a half-blind conspiracy nut and an arrhythmic everyman sharing an apartment together, and getting into wacky he-nanigans. :D (I guess Hoitash would write the script.)
