To my surprise, I had come to care greatly for Shizune, whom I had always considered the antagonist of Lilly (my first true Shoujo love!). It was several weeks before I had the time to play again, and I ended up replaying Act 3 just to remember what had happened and get back into the spirit of things. It seemed particularly mocking that Hisao’s last words were along the lines of “I thought of all the choices I could have made that might have led to things turning out differently.” You gave me one choice, Game. But nope: after four drawn out chapters of angst, the game ended with the trio basically never talking to each other again. I was surprised the game continued into Act 4, and I thought that maybe there were further choices up the line that would enable me to redeem it. Instead they fell straight into bed and I was horrified. I chose to comfort her, envisaging Hisao putting his arm around her and letting her cry, and then talk, and maybe hug. Yet while I was browsing for pictures I could use, I came across this one:Īs I first spent more time with the duo in Act 1, I was secretly hoping that there would be a storyline where I ended up with Misha. I have always loved the way she throws back her head and laughs unapologetically at the top of her voice: Wahahaha! She’s currently the background of my phone, and she brings me great joy every time I see her.
Let me first say that I absolutely love Misha. Shizune’s path was a little different from the others because I couldn’t finish it over the course of a few days. When I first went through it, I made the terrible, heart-wrenching decision to comfort Misha. As expected, this contains massive spoilers for Shizune’s plot, so be forewarned. It’s exhausting and time-consuming, but rewarding to do justice to the amazing characters of Katawa Shoujo.) I’m pretty tired, but I still want to write my traditional post-game blog. Well, more correctly I finished it about 40 minutes ago and spent that time re-writing part of the wiki. It’s 7am and I’ve just finished Shizune’s path. Another blog post that comes either very late at night or early in the morning.
