In either case, yeah a surprisingly serious route. The shift from going from San’s route to this, or the fact that a game about pigeons made me cry. In the end, Nageki remembers that he’s actually the ghost of a student who committed suicide in the library and he disappears after thanking the heroine. The other people don’t know that he even exists. The heroine notices that she’s the only one who ever talks to him and thinks he’s being bullied, but later finds out that she’s the only one who can see him. Eventually they start talking and it turns out that they share interests in books. The heroine sees him a lot after she joins the library committee, but everyone else seems to ignore him. The quiet antisocial guy who spends his time in the library. It was around here that I learned to stop questioning this game. Eventually, San tells the heroine that his true goal in life is to find the mythical seven-coloured pudding and they both drop out of school/ travel the globe to find it. The heroine takes them instead (…and they increase her intellect for some reason). Most of the route is spent on having San destroy things while raging about pudding until a track meet where the heroine saves him from Shuu trying to give him steroids. He also has an obsession with pudding, but doesn’t recognize real pudding when he sees it. San is probably the most feral of the bishie selection, but he’s head of the school track team and can somehow outrun everyone (including the heroine). After one playthough of this, I realized that this was in no way, shape or form a normal game, so I figured I’d just get San out of the way. Obviously the best looking guy in the game. The heroine tells Sakuya that he should follow his dreams and the route ends with Sakuya heading home to stand up to his father. He tells her that he wants to be a musician (…does anyone else see this going downhill extremely fast?), but his father won’t let him because Sakuya needs to become head of the family/ do important rich people things. New years, he runs away from home and the heroine finds him dying outside her cave house. He even invites the heroine to his fancy Christmas dinner party (which is subsequently crashed by San in his search for pudding). However after the heroine hangs out with him for a bit and makes him do peasant things, he becomes less of a bocchan and more of a tsundere (a little bit). He starts out with bossing the heroine around (since she’s forced into being vice president) and being a stereotypical rich kid who believes that everything is for peasants. However, I think this is mentioned once and then completely forgotten about, so really it’s not that important. He’s also the student council president and brother to Yuuya. Anyways, he’s the stuck up pigeon who’s rolling in money (though I have yet to see a bird actually roll). Why? Because his suggested voice is Ishida Akira. But who would want that? xD Spoilers start here. Just in case you aren’t mentally prepared for romance with birds and need to visualize actual bishies. Each of the …er, bishies (?) have their bird sprite, but also get a human looking one for “inexperienced players” as well that is briefly shown in the beginning. Oh also, I don’t think she has an ‘official’ name, so I’ll just refer to her as the heroine. As stated before, she lives in a cave for whatever reason and that’s all I can tell you about her really. Moving on to the actual storyline, you play as a human girl in her second year of high school. I’ll probably keep the route summaries to one paragraph because really, there’s not much to talk about. So really, most of you could probably play this yourself. The game is pretty short and (unfortunately unvoiced with no CGs), but it’s free and there’s even an English patch. I think there’s a version that costs money too, but I played the free one. It’s even popular (the word popular here is interchangeable with ‘weird’) enough to get a drama CD with most of the suggested seiyuu. For a brief history about this, it actually started out as a doujin game but become extremely popular for reasons I don’t think I’ll ever completely understand. Welcome to Hatoful Boyfriend, the otome game where you live in a cave and all of your love interests are of the feathered variety. So I know I said I would have the S Class post next, but then I was distracted by the prospect of dating pigeons.
