Oh and by the way, Sakuya’s boobs became larger in the new episode… And I thought she was a flat-chested loli in the first ONA. I guess I’m thinking too much. Anyway, thank you downloading and enjoy this fine anime!

Sorry for the delay! Here are the final 4 episodes of Myself; Yourself.
Life’s being tough lately. The reason why this release is delayed is because these past few months aren’t really forgiving and we had to take care of our personal issues. Well, me slacking off is half of the reason why the releases are late. Haha!
I would like to apologize to sho and his team at Moetaku Fansubs for not participating actively helping out with their project. Sorry, man. When I’m free, I’ll drop by to your channel. I really miss your channel’s brand of humor. ;_; Also, congratulations on your very good work on True Tears and good choice on picking up Kanokon!
I also want to congratulate and give great thanks to gx9901, Jo-kun and Kururuhime for their awesome help in completing our first series. Without them, this project would have never been possible. Thank you very much comrades!
SHiN_aKuMa: “Am I being sentimental here?”
gx9901: “Yep.”
Jo-kun: “You’re sentimental.”
Kururuhime: “Yep, no matter how you look at it.”
SHiN_aKuMa: ;_;
Anyway, enjoy this series as much as we enjoyed fansubbing it! Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Oh and don’t forget to read the final Translator’s Note at the end of episode 13. Batch torrent will be available in a few weeks.
Thank you for your support and enjoy!

First Half
I’m gonna make this short and simple as this is my least liked route out off all the ones I’ve played. Basically, Sana tries to befriend Shuri again while also acting like a huge hippie. Nothing worth noting really…
Second Half
I’ll also try to make this short… Sana continues befriending Shuri until he succeeds 1/3 of the way. When he finally gains Shuri’s trust it’s now Shuu’s turn to act tsundere >.> Over the course of the 2nd half he acts hostile to Sana… During this period Sana and Shuri create a website about the nature park and stick posters in their school. And after their initial “date” on one Sunday they finally are a couple. Sana asks for Shuu’s blessing but he’s still not friendly to him. It’s revealed later that Shuu loves Shuri, in an incestual way =.= Great, the incest plot reared it’s ugly head again =.= So by near the end of the half we see Shuu and Sana fight over for Shuri. Shuri, who’s torn between Shuu and Sana decides to break up with Sana. You have a choice to break up or not.
Bad end
Sana angsts that he could not do anything about this situation as he and Shuri exchange farewells. The next day Shuu and Shuri are absent. Yuzuki talks to Sana after class about the two. Their parents called her and informed Yuzuki that Shuusuke locked himself inside Shuri’s room. It is unknown or it might be me not understanding a thing if Shuri was with Shuu. All I know is Yuzuki asks Sana to help those two. She says it’s not to late to save them. Sana is still in angst mode so he thinks he cannot do anything to help so he says sorry to Yuzuki and runs off. Cue bad end. Cue epilogue. 3 years have passed and Sana went back to Tokyo I guess. He recieves a postcard from Aoi wherein the picture is from the new beach resort of Sakuranomori. The end.
Good end
Sana refuses to break up and tells Shuri to run away with him and they do so until Shuu caughts them in the train station. Shuu beats the hell out of Sana while Sana acts all tough and says he won’t fight back because Shuu is his best bud and that his punches don’t hurt. When Shuu is about to deliver the finishing blow(he tries his best to kill Sana BTW >.> 
he stops and says that he can’t really kill his best friend. And in that one instance they’re all back to normal as they run along during heavy rain laughing like nothing really happened =.= The day after that Shuu announces Sana x Shuri couple in school and Shuri makes Sana kiss her as some sort of proof. After classes they go to the beach and kiss some more =.= Cue happy end with Shuri singing in the background. Cue epilogue. 3 years have passed and the nature park was restored to it’s original state. Sana and Shuri are studying in college while Shuu became the physical education teacher of Sakuranomori HS. The end.
Comments:
Ugh, incest =.= I didn’t expect this plot to be used in the game too since the difference between the anime and game was huge. Like I said before, this is my least liked route. Not only am I not interested w/ Shuri but also they made Shuu into a raging incestual idiot >.> Now his image is ruined, I wished I didn’t played this route =.= Also, I don’t like Shuri and Sana’s hippie crusade… Can’t the writers come up with anything more interesting than “I want to protect the environment because in reality I just want to protect our friendship”? Well, I guess the only thing worth noting in this route is when Sana finally managed to get a spine and punched Shuu(although it looked like it was a cheap shot to me >.> 
Screenshots
I’m just gonna list things from the first and second half, they may or may not be in chronological order >.>
First Half
- Shuu meets Hina at a convenience store. He chases away the kids who were bullying Hina. Hina doesn’t seem to like Shuu’s help at first. But then she thanks him as they leave the convenience store. Hina introduces herself. Guess her age(she is 10), she’ll be extremely happy if you guessed wrong(that is if you choose 12… if you choose 8 then she’ll be angry >.>
- She meets Shuu again when you accompany Sana to sightsee. You introduce her to Sana. A decision will pop-up and choose to introduce her name properly(choose Mochida Hinako and not Hina or Hinako Mochi >.>
- She meets Shuu again who is with Shuri. The two are doing some shopping with Shuu hauling two bags/sacks of rice weighing 10 kilos each 
Man, Shuu is strong I remember carrying 2 bags of rice weighing 3 kilos each and I barely able to take them home from the market >.> Anyway, Shuri invites Hina to come to their house but first they need Shuu’s permission. Of course I choose to invite her Shuri and Hinako become instant buddies. Hina tells Shuri it’s fun to have a sister like her. Since Hina is a lone child, Shuri offers to be her sister. Hina is happy but she really wants to have a real sister not a psuedo sister >.> Shuri then tells her to marry Shuusuke then she’ll really become her sister. Of course Shuu doesn’t like that idea
- She then sneaks into Shuu’s school for the first time and Shuu asks what she is doing. She says she’s inspecting schools, Shuu tries to convince her to leave at once but Hina notices he is hungry. She offers Shuu a chocolate if he takes her for a tour of his school. Of course I choose to take the chocolate ^_^
- When Shuu and Shuri are racing to get to the school firat, Shuu encounters Hina. Choose to walk along with her.
- She sneaks again this time when Shuu is taking a career exam. She offers to help Shuu in his test. You get to choose which question to ask. I choose the hard question and Shuu will be surprised at how smart she is.
- Hina sneaks for the last time during Shuu’s Kendo battle. After he beats the crap out of the captain of the Kendo club of another school he spots Hina looking around. He goes to her side and asks her what she is doing. She again tells him she is inspecting his school. She notices the guy Shuu defeated staring at him with evil intent. Shuu tells her to don’t mind the guy. Then Hina tells Shuu that she has finally decided! Shuu is confused as to what she meant.
- When Shuri, Hina, Aoi, Sana and Shuu go to the beach choose Hina as your partner for the volleyball game of course. I dunno if I mentioned this before but Shuu always loses no matter which route and which partner Sana or him chooses. After the game Hina tells Shuu to look forward tomorrow. FYI tomorrow is a Monday. Shuu ponders what she means…
- Hina transfers to Shuu’s class the next day and Shuu and Sana and me are surprised at how she’s that smart. During lunch break Shuu tells Hina on the school’s rooftop to address him as either Wakatsuki-sempai or Shuusuke-sempai. Hina is puzzled since they are both in the same class. Shuu explains that even though they are in the same class he is much much older than her and he doesn’t like someone so young as Hina to address him casually. Hina, as mischievous as always, botches Shuu’s name purposely like Bakatsuki-sempai and (my favorite) Shuushuke-sempai XD After class Yuzuki asks Shuu to accompany Hina to her home. Shuu asks why does it have to be him. Yuzuki answers him that it’s because he’s the class rep. and that he knows Kendo, Judo and Kempo Decisions pop-up and I choose to do it(well even if you refused Yuzuki will make you do it anyway) >.>
Cue end of first half. Now for the second half
- Shuu is asked by a teacher to solve a math problem. Hina offers to help you. I accept her help >.>
- The next day when Shuu and Sana are having lunch at class Hina joins them. The two notice her lunchbox has a Yeti-kun picture. Hina tells them that she doesn’t really like Yeti-kun, it’s that her mom just happen to bought them for her. Shuu grabs her Yeti-kun mug and teases her =.= Hina finally got angry and smashes Shuu’s obento(lunch box) Shuu is pissed but he is scolded by Shuri. Shuri tells Shuu to apologize for his behavior, Shuu protests that Hina should be the one to apologiz. Sana tells Shuu to apologize. Shuu ponders for a moment and realizes he is the one who is wrong so he apologizes to Hina. Shuri and Sana also apologizes in behalf of Shuu and Hina also apologizes for smashing Shuu’s obento and offers half of her lunch for him.
- While Shuu accompanies Hina home they are confronted by some guys from another school. Shuu is surprised someone hates him but doesn’t remember doing anything wrong to anyone. He manages to take Hina and escape. After they lost the gang Hina tells Shuu the leader was the one Shuu beat the crap out of in Kendo. Shuu finally remembers the guy and wonders why is he holding a grudge when he beat him. He offers Hina dinner at his house. After dinner, Shuu, tired from all that running just a while ago sleeps right after he takes a bath.
- The next day Shuu is wake up by Hina w/c surprised him since he didn’t remember anything from last night. Hina teases him they did ecchi things last night Actually, Hina slept in Shuri’s room after Shuu took a bath and sleep. She asks Shuu to go out on a date with her. Shuu reluctantly agrees. Hina goes back to her house to get changed and they meet at the train station. The two went out to Sakuranomori’s Sea World. Shuu hasn’t been to that place but he knows it’s a famous place for couples. The two went sightseeing and then shopping. You get to choose w/c gift to give to Hina. I choose a starfish pendant… Hmmm, somehow I seem to have forgotten something important… Hmmm… starfish >.> Hina’s very happy Shuu bought her a starfish pendant. She says that she’ll treasure this gift and the two went on to sightsee more.
- After their date, Shuu catches a cold/fever. He was bed ridden for one day, coincidentally his sister Shuri caught it too >.> Luckily for them Hina visits their house and takes care of both of them. Shuu was sort of drowsy when he notices Hina is in their home. He tells her to go back home because she’s a useless kid… Hina didn’t mind the comment and she continues to take care of Shuu. After getting lots of sleep and drinking the medicine, Shuu finally regains his health the next day. Shuri tells Shuu that Hina looks really worried about Shuu and that they should thank Hina for taking care of them specially Shuu whom Shuri noticed took extra care. Shuu remembers the harsh words he said to Hina and offers to call her and say thanks. Shuu calls Hina and apologizes to her, Hina says she doesn’t mind because Shuu was sick. Shuu was impressed that Hina is that mature to have handled that situation. Hina then tells Shuu that she… she… Shuu asks her for the continuation but she hangs up.
- Next day Shuu is back to school and he notices a white letter in his desk. He figures it’s a love letter and Hina took notice of it. She asks Shuu what is it and I choose to tell her it’s a love letter(you can choose to say it’s a Death Threat Mail ) She then tells him to open it. Shuu doesn’t know how to, so Hina tells him how to open it. The letter says to meet someone in lunch break at the rooftop. Shuu ridicules the love letter and thinks it must be a prank since there’s no name written on it. Hina asks what if the letter is real? Shuu replies he would be happy if it were true. Hina then continues what if that letter is from her? Shuu, clueless as ever, ridicules at the thought of Hina falling for him. Hina w/ a disappointed and angry look storms off the classroom. She didn’t came back for the rest of the day.
- At home Shuri asks Shuu what’s going on with Hina. She never came back for the rest of the day. Shuu says he’s got nothing to do with it. Then it finally hits him… he figures out it was Hina who sent that love letter =.= He then asks Shuri for advice. Shuri tells him age doesn’t matter blah, blah and that it’s Shuu’s duty as a man to make a decision blah blah >.>
- The next day Hina didn’t come to school. Shuu is a bit worried that she might have caught a cold/fever. Lunch break time, Sana and Shuu go to the cafeteria but they were approached by a student telling them someone wants to talk to Shuu on the phone. It turns out the guy with the grudge has kidnapped Hina and Shuu has 2 hours to look for her. Sana asks Shuu what the hell is going on and Shuu tells him that Hina is kidnapped. Sana offers to look for Hina too and the two run off the school. But before they could get out Sana asks Shuu if he knows where to look for Hina. Shuu tells him it’s not the time to think as they have a time limit. He runs for it but Sana yells at him to wait for him This is the moment of truth folks. You have two decisions: a. Wait for Sana and listen to him b. Ignore him and run off.
Bad End
- Shuu decides to run off and leave Sana as he searches the whole town for Hina while it’s raining. Time limit has passed and he wasn’t able to locate Hina… Several days have passed and Hina didn’t come to school. Cue bad end. Cue epilogue. Shuu blames himself for what happened to Hina. Shuri tells him that it isn’t his fault but I guess Shuu still blames himself. Hina didn’t come to school again and during lunch break Sana tells Shuu of a rumor he heard. Hina was actually ok after the incident, she didn’t have any injuries but the mental shock has forced her to not want to go to high school again. Shuu ponders as to what happened to Hina and he regrets for not being able to protect her when she needed him the most. Bad End.
Good End
- Shuu asks Sana what does he propose to do? Sana gives Shuu his cellphone. He tells him that he’ll stay in school and search for clues. That way if he finds out anything he could contact Shuu immediately. Shuu thanks his buddy for the cellphone and for his help as he runs off to search for Hina. He goes round and round but couldn’t find her in the town. He then gets a call from Sana and he tells Shuu some hints on Hina’s whereabouts. Shuu was able to figure out where Hina is and he makes it on time… in an abandoned warehouse he finds Hina tied up. He removes the handkerchief wrapped around her mouth and tells her he’ll rescue her. Hina warns Shuu but was too late and was stabbed in the back by the leader of the gang. I forgot what his name is so… Anyway, the gang leader tells him he will get his revenge for beating him. Shuu asks why he’s such a sore loser >.> The gang leader actually plans to use his performance in the Kendo club to get to a university but since he was beaten he can’t enter it now. Shuu tells him that’s a lousy way to enter a university and tells him to just study hard >.> Anyway, gang leader calls 5 thugs and surrounds Shuusuke. 6 vs. 1 plus blood is gushing out of his back… the odds are against our hero. The thugs attack but Shuu manages to beat them one by one until it’s the gang leader left. Alas beating up 5 thugs with an injury proves to be too much for our hero as the gang leader beats him up. Shuu is down for the count as some thugs regain consciousness and beats him up. Hina cries for help and tells the bad guys to stop, at this rate they might kill poor Shuusuke. Shuu, after taking a lot of beatings slowly loses consciousness… When the gang are satisfied they now ponder on what to do with Hina. The gang leader says she must be silenced since she witnessed this event. Shuu hears this and he regrets that he wasn’t able to protect Hina as his consciousness fades away he hears a voice… It’s Hina and we are treated to a montage of flashback scenes of Hina and Shuu’s happy days. Cue Shuu regaining consciousness and uses his willpower to stand up like your typical shounen hero >.> He says that no matter what happens he’ll protect Hina… The gang leader can’t believe Shuu’s up for round 2 as he calls for his thugs to attack Shuu. Shuu goes Rocky Balboa on them and beats the crap out of the thugs and finally beats the gang leader. Shuu goes to Hina’s side and tells her that it’s okay now… but then gang leader still wants to fight and takes out his knife. Shuu, with all his remaining strength one hit KOs the gang leader as he collapses to Hina’s side. Hina is crying and asks Shuu why does he have to go all this way to protect her. Shuu tells her it’s a man’s duty to protect the one he loves… Yes, Shuu finally admits he loves Hinako and tells her to continue the conversation that was left hanging before(the phone conversation) Hina tells Shuu if he’s really serious. He says yes, Hina tells him she’s 6 years younger. Shuu tells her he doesn’t care, what matters is he loves him ^_^ And then suddenly… the cavalry has arrived =.= We have Shuri(w/ a bat ) and two policemen storming the warehouse. As expected from fictional law enforcers, they always come late after the battle is over =.= Also, WTF where’s Sana?!!(some best friend you are… you should have joined w/ Shuri and the cavalry =.=) Shuu is surprised Shuri came to fight. Shuri tells him that as his sister, she can’t forgive those who hurt him and Hina. She tells him the ambulance will be here any moment as she leaves the two to wait for the arrival of the ambulance. Hina then tells Shuu if he can wait… she wants to grow older before they can be serious. Shuu tells her he’ll wait for her and as he waits he gives Hina her first kiss ^_^ Cue good end w/ Hina’s chara song as BGM. Her chara song is nice BTW I like it out of all the chara songs I’ve heard from this game. Cue epilogue. 8 years have passed and Shuu and Hina are happily married. Shuu works for a company and Hina works as a teacher in Sakuranomori HS. Hina is now 18 years old FYI. The couple talk about the past and Hina’s first kiss and they live happily ever after >.>

A message to our beloved captain, SHiN_aKuMa
ASAMI HOSHINO IS STRAIGHT!!!
-gx
First of all… Curse you Nanaka!!! from Asami Hoshino with Love. Really, the first image you’re gonna see in Shuu’s prologue is that damn Nanaka >.> Why oh why does she have to be Shuu’s main girl? >.< We get to see little Shuu and little Nanaka talk about little Sana who left Sakuranomori. Shuu makes a promise with Nanaka that he’ll protect her and everyone else while Sana is away… cue Shuu waking up. He was suddenly woke up by Shuri who’s too close for comfort >.> Shuri tells Shuu to do his errands. End first day. Cue another dream sequence this time all Shuu sees are flames/fire… He wakes up the second day and is asked by Shuri to deliver something to the Yatsushiro shrine. He’s hesitant at first but decides to go anyway. He meets Nanaka at the shrine, you have the option to talk to her or not. When Nanaka receives the package she coldly tells Shuu to get off her sight. Shuu obliges but suddenly his head feels intense pain. He passes out. When he wakes up he sees Nanaka w/ a worried look. Damn Tsundere >.> Anyway, after Nanaka confirms Shuu is ok she asks him to leave.
3rd day Shuu meets Hinako in a convenience store. He sees two kids bullying her and he goes off to the rescue. Hinako doesn’t seem to appreciate Shuu’s help and she doesn’t look like she fell in love in an instance like in the anime >.> Anyway, when things have calmed down Hina asks Shuu how old she thinks she is. Depending on your answer you could raise a Hina flag >.> Next day he and Shuri went off shopping. They meet Asami who is a friend of Shuri. Asami happens to live in another town and she took her pet Corgie named Shi-chan to the veterinary. The 3 chat for a while and Shuu has the chance to raise the Asami flag by commenting what kind of animal person is Asami. I think the right answer was she’s a dog person >.>
The day after that Shuu meets either Yuzuki or Sana. Forgot already but Shuu meets Sana the same way Sana did in his route. Basically you get to see how Shuusuke thinks in these situations. After this event I’m unsure what happens chronologically so I’m just gonna list some highlights that I remembered.
- Shuu meets Asami again in the train station and he sees Asami and Nanaka arguing over something. He can’t hear them clearly but he gets to ask Asami what’s going on. Asami tells him it’s just a little misunderstanding and reveals to Shuu that they are cousins o_0 Yes, Nanaka and Asami are relatives, cousins to be exact.
- Asami and Nanaka are rivals. Nanaka is always #1 while Asami is #2 in any subject be it English, Physical Education, etc.
- The Tarot Cards for Shuu are:
a. Judgement - as always… Nanaka
b. The Star - I was at first mislead with this card since I thought this was Asami since the Hoshi in her Hoshino means Star >.> It turns out this was Hina. The card was described as full of hope and brightness. I guess nothings a dull moment when Hina is around
c. The Lovers - betrayals and some other negative things. Having finished her route I can see why this is Asami =.=
- During the end of the first half it is revealed that Shuu doesn’t remember the fire incident He experiences what anime Nanaka experienced… memory loss due to shock. Shuu was FYI at the scene of the fire incident and tried to rescue Nanaka. He fails and gets injured but was saved by someone. Shuu was hospitalized and doesn’t remember why he’s hospitalized. Nanaka tells everyone to not tell Shuu about the fire incident since Shuu wasn’t able to do anything and telling him might make him feel miserable so Nanaka keeps all the pain to herself… Anyway, Shuu finally remembers and apologizes to Nanaka. This somehow makes Nanaka soften up. I was quite confused at this turn of events as this scene was the last one for the first half. But now I understand why they made Nanaka soften up…
Second half, cue OP. Shuu is hungry and Sana invites him to buy some Jam Dog in the cafeteria. They eat lunch at the rooftop and they meet Asami there. But first Shuu chokes because he ate too much Jam Dogs and Sana offers him to buy drinks. Shuu asks Asami why she’s here and she tells him that she’s searching for her fork. You have the option to raise the Asami flag by offering her to search it together. Asami thanks Shuu for his help in finding her fork so off she goes while Sana comes back and brings him some juice which tastes bad and Shuu asks Sana if he’s planning on killing him with that drink
The next day he is asked by Asami to meet her in the place where it’s famous for couples. There Asami confesses to Shuu that she likes him 
Shuu is surprised but he tells her he can’t answer her feelings. It’s not like he has someone he likes so he tells her that. Asami, surprisingly accepts Shuu’s answer and tells him that she can wait for him to fall in love with her
Next scene, Shuu meets Asami in another town. Shuu is in that town to help carry heavy stuff while Asami is a volunteer. BUT she’s not taking care of old people but she teaches little kids. A couple of days after, Asami invites Shuu to go back to the place where she teaches little kids. Shuu obliges and after the end of the day Asami asks Shuu to come to her house w/c is near the train station. Shuu is quite surprised to learn that Asami is rich after entering her house. Oh her parents are not at home FYI 
Shuu gets to see Shi-chan again and he’s impressed at the numerous trophies on display all of which belongs to Asami. He then notices that Asami’s name is written in Kanji. Asami tells him she hates her name in Kanji(愛沙美) so she changed it to Hiragana(あさみ). She interprets her name in Kanji as someone who is least loved and beautiful. Shuu kinda disagrees and tries to convince Asami that that’s not the true meaning behind her name. Anyway, they go to the train station after that. They have a little chat before the train came so it is revealed that Asami’s intense rivalry with Nanaka stems from the fact that she doesn’t get any love ;_; Since they are cousins it was inevitable that they’d meet in family reunions and every time they meet it’s always Nanaka who gets praised even Asami’s parents praise Nanaka. With that said, Asami tries so hard to beat Nanaka but unfortunately for her Nanaka is unbeatable >.<
After that, we get to see skirmishes between Nanaka and Asami from time to time until we get to the point where Nanaka has had enough of Asami pestering her and tells her the reason why she’s clingy to Shuu is because she thinks Nanaka likes Shuu and if she successfully takes away Shuu from Nanaka then she could “win”. Of course Shuu happens to be present in that conversation w/c makes Asami furious and slaps Nanaka. Nanaka in return slaps Asami. Asami storms off while I made Shuu go after her. Shuu catches up to Asami who is constantly apologizing to Shuu. She says she’s angry because what Nanaka said was half true… She did indeed confessed to Shuu because she wanted to take away Shuu from Nanaka but like all cliched love stories she fell in love with him in the process. She didn’t thought she could possibly fall in love with Shuu but the fact of the matter is she is truly madly deeply in love with Shuu right now ^_^ After that, we get to see Shuu in his room pondering at the recent events.
Next day and Shuu meets up with Sana and Aoi. They have a little chit chat until Shuu notices Asami standing in the Cherry Blossom tree… He tells Sana and Aoi to go ahead and goes to where Asami is. He asks Asami what’s she doing there and it looks like she’s inside her own world… She tells Shuu that she likes this place and that she could hear the Cherry Blossom tree talking to her… Shuu after realizing he’s gonna be late leaves Asami. During the break he goes off to the school rooftop and fell asleep. He was woke up by Yuzuki and tells him to go with her in the teacher’s room. There she makes Shuu read some pamphlet about the legend of the twin hills. Once upon a time there were twin sisters living in Sakuranomori. In an effort to please the villagers the two competed. The elder sister performed a dance while the younger sister sang a song. The villagers preferred the younger sister and the elder sister furious that she was defeated killed the younger sister. She buried the corpse under the Cherry Blossom tree and she herself disappeared never to be seen again. Shuu ponders why Yuzuki made him read that and it seems Yuzuki knows he has problems with Asami. Shuu asks how she knew and she tells him that when Shuu was asleep he kept murmuring Asami’s name >.> Anyway, after reading the story Shuu is a bit worried since he’s thinking this might be some premonition of sorts of what would happen…
After school is over Asami comes to his class and asks Shuu to go with her. They are at the famous place for lovers again and this time Asami asks Shuu if he likes her. This is it boys, the moment of truth. Depending on Shuu’s answer you will get a good or bad end. As always lets go with the bad end.
Bad End
Shuu tells Asami half-assedly that he likes her. Asami notices Shuu’s half-assed answer and asks him who does he like better. Asami or Nanaka? Shuu tells her that he likes both of them and that he can’t leave any of the two of them. Spoken like a true harem lead >.> Asami is disappointed with his answer and goes off. The next day, Asami is surprisingly absent in school and so does Nanaka… A week has passed and the two are still missing… Yuzuki notices Shuu is worried so she tells her to finish his test and she’ll tell something to Shuu. Shuu goes to the teacher’s room after the exam and Yuzuki tells Shuu to take a walk. Yuzuki aks Shuu why the school’s uniform is black. Shuu answers he doesn’t know so Yuzuki tells her because it was to match with the Crow’s color. There she tells him about the pamphlet she gave. That story is unfortunately inaccurate. After the elder sister killed the younger sister the elder sister asks for forgiveness to the Mountain God. He thought about letting the villagers decide her fate but when he saw that the elder sister looks to be really sorry for what she done, he turned her into a crow so that she could escape. Unfortunately she tried to escape but she always find herself coming back to the Cherry Blossom tree. Shuu wonders what is the significance of telling this to him. Yuzuki tells him that he must have thought of Asami killing Nanaka right? Shuu reluctantly tells her no >.> Yuzuki tells him that she likes to think that scenario couldn’t happen. Shuu and me are left puzzled as we wonder what the hell happened to those two… Cue bad end. Cue epilogue, many days/weeks have passed and the two are still missing. Shuu and Shuri are discussing this as a Crow gets Shuu’s attention. Shuu and me wonders what happened to Asami and he kinda wonders if the Crow was Asami… He says a goodbye to Asami(the Crow) as the bad end finishes.
Good End
Shuu tells Asami with confidence that he likes her. Asami is not convinced yet so she asks who Shuu likes. Nanaka or Asami? You have the option to choose w/c… Choosing Nanaka leads to a bad end Of course I tell her I like Asami the best! Anyway, IIRC she’s glad Shuu answered the correct one ^_^ Having averted a bad end we go on the next day. Shuu and Nanaka are having a chat about Nanaka’s hair. Which Shuu comments smells nice. Asami comes in and asks Shuu to go eat lunch together… After school ends Shuu forgots something in school and goes back. There he notices 3 people… Sana, Nanaka and Asami Shuu goes to their side and asks what’s going on. Sana is furious that Asami tried to cut Nanaka’s hair He tells Shuu to keep an eye on her lest she cause any more trouble to Nanaka. Shuu asks Asami what is going on and Asami cries that she can’t control her feelings. When she heard Shuu complimenting Nanaka’s hair she felt the need to cut it so she can’t be beaten by her again
After that, Shuu goes home. In his room Shuri comes in and asks Shuu if he is dating Asami. Shuu says they are and Shuri asks if he loves her. Shuu says of course and then Shuri asks then what the hell has he been doing? Shuu is confused as to why Shuri asked that. Shuri heard from Sana about the attempted hair cutting incident. Shuri tells Shuu to do something about it. That girl needs some love and Shuu is the only guy who could do it. Shuu tells Shuri that him alone is quite a statement and even asks Shuri that they’re friends right? Shuri tells him that yeah, they are friends but friendship =/= love. Shuu is the only guy that could give love to her 
Asami’s parents couldn’t give her love, her friends couldn’t give her love only Shuu can! Shuri tells him to man up and that it’s his turn to guide Asami to the path of good >.> Shuri tells Shuu he has been guided by his family and friends and now it’s his turn to return the kindness to Asami who is the one person who needs his love the most. Shuu finally understands his position and he goes off to see Asami despite the heavy rain pouring that day. He manages to get to her place and rings the doorbell. No answer… he rings and even calls the phone but no anwser… He finally hears a loud noise and decides to go in the house. He discovers Asami trashing her own house with an angry look. Decisions pop up! You have 3 choices on what to do. A. Slap her out of it. B. Talk to her. C. Hug her. Choosing B will lead to yet another bad end So choose either A/C w/c ever you feel. I choose C since I don’t like violence on women >.> He hugs her tight but she struggles until she has calmed down. Apparently, the reason why she’s became all frustrated and angry is because she and her parents were called to the principals office. The slapping incident with Nanaka was reported by some students. Asami feels she has disappointed her parents and her parents seem to not care about it as they went off to their work after they came back home. This is the part where Shuu tells her he loves her, he’ll be by her side, he’ll protect her, etc. Asami breaks down and hugs Shuu and pours her heart out. Yes! You’ve finally gotten Asami for real!
The next day, Shuu, Sana and Aoi are walking to school. Sana and Aoi notices Asami is near so they tell Shuu that they will go ahead. Shuu wonders why and he meets up with Asami. Asami thanks Shuu for all the things he has done for her. Shuu gets a little embarrassed and tells her it’s nothing. Asami thanks him that she finally realized that she is loved. She thanks Shuu that she was able to meet him and receive his love. Shuu tells Asami that he finally knows the answer as to why her parents named her Asami. Even though she’s least beautiful she is loved most. Even though she is least loved she’s the most beautiful or something like that >.> Cue Happy Ending with BGM sang by Asami. Cue epilogue. 3 years have passed and Shuu and Asami are happy living together in a small apartment while studying in a university. Shuu asks Asami if she will grant him his wish. Asami asks what is his wish. Shuu tells her that he wants to marry Asami. Asami tells him before she answers that he has to fulfill her wish first of staying by her side forever and loving her. Shuu tells her isn’t that the same as his wish? And the couple laughs and smile as the screen fades away. Awwwwwwww~ ain’t that a cute and happy ending? ^_^

With introductions over it’s time to reveal Aoi’s route. Why Aoi? Because she’s my fave character in the anime, I just love her squeaky voice <3 Also, she gets the least development in the anime and I feel like she has an amazing back story…
Aoi route:
First things first ;_;
Anyway, day one is kinda like the anime. Sana goes back to Sakuranomori and goes to the Yatsushiro shrine. There he meets Nanaka and he doesn’t recognize her of course. You have the option to speak or not speak to her. I choose not to speak to her coz I am not aiming for her =.= To cut to the chase, Sana gets slapped for asking who she is right there in the shrine unlike in the anime where he gets slapped in school.
Anyway, he meets Aoi on the next day IIRC. Pretty much the same scene in the anime w/out Sana commenting on her boobs. Sana decides to go to the beach and take a walk. He meets Shuri. They seem to get along well until the conversation drifts to Sakuranomori’s um, commercialization. It seems like it has become a tourist spot so many buildings were built recently including a hotel. Shuri asks what Sana’s opinion is and he says it’s good coz it’ll be much more fun to put it in simple terms. Shuri doesn’t like what she heard and goes off. Sana chases her and tries to stop her but gets slapped. Poor Sana, slapped twice in row…
On his way back home he meets Caramel Onee-san in the park. You have the option to speak or not speak to her. As much as I like Yuzuki I didn’t speak to her since my priority is Aoi.
The next day he goes for a walk again but this time he takes his camera. Yes, Sana actually has a hobby and that’s taking pictures with his camera. The camera is analog BTW coz Sana hates digicams and he used to “borrow” his pop’s old camera when he was a kid. He bought his own when he was in Tokyo. Anyway, he meets Shuu along the way and they have a nice little chat.
Next day after that IIRC is when Sana goes out. He meets Asami Hoshino outside Aoi’s place. She was visiting Aoi coz she forgot something in school(forgot what that was) so Sana tells her that he’ll give it to Aoi. When the day is over and Aoi comes to Sana’s place. Sana gives the forgotten thing to Aoi.
I’m really a bit fuzzy with my memory but I think after a week long of doing nothing but sightseeing in the town Sana goes to school. There he meets Yuzuki again and they have a little chat. When classes start, he is introduced as the transfer student. Scene is almost like the anime.
After that I’m quite unsure what happens exactly. A few notable moments are: Aoi was revealed to have a hard time waking up… Shuu and Hinako met earlier during the one week vacation. Yuzuki and her lesson about “knowing” and “understanding” w/c is a pretty important thing in her route I guess.
Oh and this time I feel really sorry for Sana for putting up with 2 tsundere’s in his class namely Shuri and Nanaka. Yes, Shuri is still angry about the beach incident and it’s up to you if you want to befriend her again. Nanaka as always, doesn’t want to do anything with you. She remains that way until the end of the game coz I didn’t try to make amends with her. Another surprising moment is when Shuu gets nominated as class rep. along with Nanaka. This happened coz Shuu skipped classes and a classmate(who has a grudge with Shuu) nominated him. You have the option to disagree with the nomination for class rep. but that would raise the Shuri flag so I kept quiet about it. A thing of note, even if you actually disagreed Shuu will still end up as class rep.
Sana still dreams about Nanaka from time to time specially about the past. There are many instances were you could be close to her but I dodged all that. What else… a shocking revelation is Asami IS straight. She comes to Sana’s class one time and asks Sana who Shuu likes. Yes, you heard me she asked about Shuusuke not Shuri. Another surprising note is that Sana doesn’t know Aoi is a good cook =.= He was surprised how Aoi made a delicious Beef Stroganoff even though Aoi have never heard it before and she even mispronounced it as Beef Strogyonyoff… ;_;
Anyway, the first half of the route is me chasing Aoi. I managed to make her cook dinner for me everyday. Comforted her when she tells Sana that she’s scared of sleeping because she might not able to wake up. Helped her wake up in the morning. Helped her borrow keys to the girls locker room coz she forgotten to bring it. She’s a really forgetful person just like me ;_; Another note is when Shuri notices Aoi looks really bad one day. Aoi tells Shuri and Sana that she just didn’t have enough sleep and everything was ok. I managed to invite her to play in the beach. Shuu called Sana to accompany him, Shuri and Hinako at the beach. Why did Shuu invite him? Cause he’s afraid people would gossip about him enjoying time in the beach with his sister and a loli >.> He also tells him to invite Aoi… There in the beach Shuri proposed a game of volleyball with accompanying punishment to the losing boy. There were two teams, I choose Aoi as my partner of course against the Wakatsuki twins. Hina is the referee BTW. Amazingly, we managed to win despite Aoi is a clutz(actually her clumsiness is what made us win) and team Wakatsuki is composed of athletic twins… Shuu swims as punishment for losing. Why Shuri isn’t punished? Well, it’s because she made the rules that only the losing boy would get punished.
Second half of the route I get to see OP2 w/c is Ivy. I managed to finally erase Nanaka from Sana’s head and spend the first half happily with Aoi but happy things have an end… Sana remembers the past where Aoi tells him that she wants to become a writer for picture books. She’ll write the story while Sana will draw the pictures. Sana asks Aoi if she still wants to be a writer. She says yes and Sana is impressed that Aoi is thinking way ahead whereas he doesn’t have a dream or ambition… This is were Aoi starts to make breakfast, obento(lunch box meal) and dinner for Sana. Sana feels embarrassed that Aoi is starting to cling to him. He still feels that Aoi is just an elder sister or something and does not have feelings of true love ;_; Sana manages to upset Aoi to the point she doesn’t go to his place anymore. Shuu notices that Sana has finally realized his stupid mistake and gives him a wonderful advice. Sana and I can’t believe that Shuu could come up with such an advice. Cue in Sana searching for his inner feelings and realizing he is indeed in love with Aoi ;_; He goes to her house and tries to talk to her. Aoi, upon hearing Sana say “sorry” runs away. She doesn’t want to hear anything from Sana. Sana chases her and tells her to listen to him… He says he is sorry and that he really loves her ;_; Aoi cries tears of joy, she thought Sana would say he doesn’t like her. A misunderstanding but in the end everything went fine… You’d think this is the end but there is more to it.
Sana and Aoi go on their first date in a sea aquarium. Sana goes to get some drinks and he notices Aoi is missing. He manages to find her and it looks like Aoi does not feel well. Aoi says not to mind her and just enjoy their date. Anyway, at one point Sana tells Aoi to go home but she still insists on the date. When they’re finished buying ingredients for dinner Sana finally notices her high fever. He quickly brings her to her house. Before he leaves Aoi gives Sana her book title the Blue Bird(Aoi no Tori)…
On the next day Sana goes to her house to check on her and her parents bring bad news. She’s hospitalized, Sana quickly goes to the hospital to see her. He asks the doctor what her condition is. The doctor replies it would take a miracle for her to get cured. I dunno what kind of illness that was but it sounds really serious. Sana is asked if he wants to see her and he tells the doctor to wait a minute as he goes to the toilet. There he tries his best to not look sad so that Aoi wouldn’t see his sad face and start to lose hope ;_; He finally musters up his courage and sees her. In her room lies Aoi in a respirator, barely able to talk and tells Sana she’s glad to see him again. Sana realizes that Aoi were giving him hints about her condition. Her sleepiness, that one time she told him that she was afraid of not waking up, that one time she looked really sick but just said she didn’t have enough sleep and of course the recent date incident ;_; Man, Aoi’s route delivered. I’m thinking of 2 outcomes, one is she lives w/c makes me happy as I don’t want her to die and the other one is she dies ;_; Now if she dies then I’ll be sad yet it’ll make her route a really memorable one as her ending is kinda ironic for her character.
After that heart tugging scene in Aoi’s room Sana goes home feeling down. He receives a phone call from her father and tells him to help them decide the fate of Aoi. Sakuranomori’s hospital isn’t enough to cure her so they are planning to move her to a bigger hospital. The chances are still slim but it’s a little bit better than if she stayed in here. Of course if she moves to another hospital chances are it’s far away and Sana might not be able to visit her. Aoi’s dad tells Sana to think about it and hangs up the phone. Sana thinks… and the final choices pop up. A. Let Aoi stay and hope for a miracle or B. Move her to a larger hospital. There are two endings so I’ll split my reactions and comments too. I’ll go first with B.
Ending B(Bad End)
Sana decides that it’s better for Aoi to move to another hospital. He prays to God for Aoi’s recovery. He tells God that he’ll do anything and will sacrifice his happiness for Aoi’s sake. Many days/weeks have past since Aoi was moved with still no progress… Cue ending. Cue epilogue, Sana is at the beach standing there doing nothing. He remembers the good times he had with Aoi and he breaks down in tears. He blames himself for not doing anything and cries. He hears Aoi’s crying voice… Aoi tells him not to cry because it will make her cry too. Sana replies that he’s not gonna cry because of that. This scene was reminiscent of when Aoi was lost in the mountains and Sana found her when they were kids… They both cry until Sana comes to his senses and realizes no one is there. He ponders if what happened was an illusion as the game ends ;_; A thing to note, the game didn’t mention if Aoi died or not but I’m guessing she’s in a coma like state hence why she “appeared” to Sana in the beach…
Ending A(Good End)
Sana decides to make a gamble and let her stay so that he can be by her side every day. He remembers the time when he took Aoi all feverish into her house. Before Sana left Aoi gave him her book. It was titled the Blue Bird(or Aoi no Tori in Japanese…). This book was made by Aoi and Sana remembers that Aoi is aspiring to be a picture book writer. He remembers his promise that he’ll help her by drawing the pictures for her book. Sana decides to complete her book by drawing the pictures. The next day he goes to school and is comforted by Shuu. Shuri also joins in and gives Sana a letter(I guess) made by Shuri and her friends with a message to Aoi to get well soon. As Sana is on his way to visit Aoi again, Nanaka is waiting for him in the locker room. She gives Sana a protective charm, Sana is quite surprised the ice cold queen is worried about Aoi. He accepts the charm and off he goes to the hospital. No change in Aoi’s condition so Sana goes back home. He spends many days completing her book and when the day he finally finished their book he gets a call from her parents. They tell him to come to the hospital quick. Sana runs to the hospital thinking the worst has happened. When he goes to the room he sees Aoi is not in her bed. Bad thoughts have already clouded his mind but he hears Aoi calling him. It was a miracle that she recovered and just in time for her to receive their completed picture book. We get a happy ending! ;_; Cue ending with Aoi’s theme song playing. Cue epilogue, Aoi is reading her book complete with visuals of the book. After she finishes reading she and Sana have a little talk about happiness and how they were both thankful they received each others happy memories or some such. Cue in Aoi kissing Sana as the game ends. ;_;
I haven’t mentioned this but I really liked the theme/lesson of the Blue Bird. In summary, Happiness is just around the corner you just need to look for it. The book’s protagonist was based on Aoi and the blue bird was based on Sana. You can think of Aoi’s book as her recent life story…

Aoi’s picture book
Other Notes:
- Aoi loves to read books but it is a mystery as to why she is not good at studying @_@ Which leads to Sana tutoring Aoi who is a year higher than him >.>
- The charm Nanaka gave to Sana for Aoi in Aoi’s good ending was the charm that Aoi wasn’t able to buy during the Yatsushiro Festival.
