LOL why did you make Lily be into puppets? XD

Did you think she'd be a good kindergarten teacher?

And the reason why the girls like him...is cuz of plot convenience

Let's Play: Katawa Shoujo [Chapter 12: Theories Are Now Cannon]

Question: What makes you think Hisao is able to attract those girls to him (the main characters that is)? Do you think if someone in real life had Hisao's personality that he'd get a girlfriend as easily as Hisao in Katawa Shoujo? If it contains spoilers from the game, put them in a spoiler bar please.

Fun Question (optional): How do you feel about Congress confirming that pizza is a veggie? If you want, choose one of the characters in the game and imagine how they'd react if they heard the news on Congress.

Back to Chapter 11

Next is Chapter 13

I'm not exactly sure about the girls just being attracted to him because he's normal. I guess it kind of makes sense considering that:

I guess I can agree with the normal theory in terms of him attracting girls. But what makes him keep them is his conscious (or unconscious? Considering you help him make decisions in the game) effort to open himself up towards these girls and change himself.

As for the whole Pizza thing, I always wondered why they considered it a vegetable whenever that's brought up. Isn't the base of a pizza some kind of bread? Vegetables are merely toppings on a pizza. You wouldn't call cake ice cream a fruit if you had a cherry on top of it would you?

I... don't know.
He's a graphic novel protagonist. Decisive flexibility and lack of emotion are his modi operandi. I seriously can't give you a straight answer.

Fun Question (optional): How do you feel about Congress confirming that pizza is a veggie? If you want, choose one of the characters in the game and imagine how they'd react if they heard the news on Congress.

Common sense seems to be the antithesis of politics. The more political power you have, the wider your responsibilities spread, the more aspects you must consider, the craftier you need to get to stay afloat, the less you can focus on more simple views.

They ruled tomatoes as vegetables for tax purposes. Tomatoes aren't vegetables. But you need all the cash imput you can get to keep the government running. And tomatoes are grown similarly to most vegetable crops. So, might as well lump 'em in that category.

Kids aren't getting enough vegetables in their diet. We're getting the flak from that. Need to cover our- hey wait a minute. We labeled tomatoes as vegetables. Tomato paste is a key part of pizza. Them little suckers love pizza. And I mean there must be some nutrients left in there somewhere. Clever idea: Pizzas count as vegetables now. Problem averted.

That's a gross simplification of course, and it probably makes more sense if you work in those political circles, but you get the idea of how crap like that flies. There's always a crumb of logic to be scavenged somewhere.

Also, is that the only thing you had to say about the Chapter? XD haha. It's perfectly fine with me actually.

Lilly as a kindergarten teacher? Definitely, I really believe she would qualify over any other person including the actual teachers at the school like Mr. Mutou (the science guy- OHHHHH just came up with a clever joke next time!)

But for the puppets.. despite me joking and editing about it, I find the concept pretty creepy. Kenji really does have puppets to amuse himself with and Lilly can't just sip tea for hours when Hanako is busy reading a book in the library. Makes me feel like Hisao is in a disabled school with a looney hospital alongside it lol.

In answer to your question I think that Hisao really does act like a very empathetic person to the girls in question, even if he does fuck things up later on in the routes (Hanako's sex scene comes to mind). Still, he's just a teenager, not an adult. Sure, he says stupid crap sometimes but he certainly knows how to talk to girls as equals, not as some sort of unattainable goal. This, I think, makes him attractive in the sense that the girls find him relatable.

As for the pizza thing, I'm pretty sure it only applies to tomato sauce, and nothing else. Still, it's pretty dumb.

Another member had the same problem, but all you need to do is drag the broken image and then scroll down or up, then back to the image to finally see it. Not really sure why it does that- but if dragging doesn't work then refresh the page. And if that doesn't work you might need to delete your browsing history and/or cookies off the internet.

Hope this helps and thank you along with everyone else for posting. (Also am sad that the images I work hard on are the ones not showing up. They're working fine for me at least, but they do tend to be white so you just have to drag is all for most cases.)

I.. actually tried dragging and scrolling... and refreshing is always my first attempt at a fix. I was literally getting a 404 when trying to browse to http://imgur.com/ . I'm a bit of a paranoid geek... I clear my history and cookies daily.
But everything is working fine now, so maybe it was a fluke. Never happened before that.
**edit** also, I did the multiple browser thing with it, just to be sure. Same result in Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Opera.

If someone in real life with Hisao's personality could get a girlfriend that easily, the "Forever Alone" meme simply wouldn't exist, because *everyone* would be dating someone.

Although it would be nice to talk to her in the class but since I don't know her I wouldn't ask her because as a shy person myself I know that sometimes people trying to force you to socially interact isn't the best idea and it just makes you hate the rest of the people there.

I think I would want her to join the group but if she were to give one of her indicators that she wouldn't like to then I would leave her be. I'd probably want her in the group because she would seem lonely I suppose and if she seemed puzzled we could help her. I'd probably convince M&S by saying something like "I do believe that its unfair that you should dislike Hanako simply on the premise that she is a friend of Lily. It also doesn't make sense as I am also a friend of Lily yet you have no problems with me." Then I would go and invite Hanako before they could answer. Also I understand the lack of PM. I saw that there were a few new posts but I didn't check for some reason.

I can't really say what I'd do in this situation. These character are just very weird to me.

Thank goodness, when I randomly saw this update without notification, I feared the worst...! Glad that ain't the case :D

*Ahem*

Answer: Before persuading Shizune and Misha, I'd consider Hanako's situation first. Completely based on mere speculation of course, but considering she left me to bite her dust with her infamous Hanako Dash in the library the other time, I wouldn't be impudent enough to simply walk up to her and say "Come join us :D", even if I really want her to.

If I wanted to approach her, I'd do it when no one's around.

I'm not sure what I'd do in that situation. As much as I'd like to have Hanako join the group, in that particular situation it would probably end badly (after all, the last time Hisao and Hanako met, she dashed away). If it was a later scene in the story then I'd invite her.

Also, you better choose to talk with Hanako, if you haven't already. If you didn't do that, Lilly and I would be very...
very...
disappointed...

Of course I'd want Hanako to work with us. I'd justify this using the old adage "The more, the merrier." Then I'd invite Misha and Shizune to come up with a downside to letting her join, and promptly argue against it.

And no, it turns out I am not a very good psychic spy. My psychic powers have failed me in locating Derpy, and my spy powers have obviously failed me if a Heavy slipped into the room without me noticing. Apologies to comrade Kenji: I am not credit to team.

Question: What makes you think Hisao is able to attract those girls to him (the main characters that is)? Do you think if someone in real life had Hisao's personality that he'd get a girlfriend as easily as Hisao in Katawa Shoujo?

Hisao is obviously the "bad boy", rebel-type that women are usually attracted to. Just look at him. Total bad-ass. He probably got that heart condition from smoking. Smoking the broken hearts of young, abandoned, physically handicapped girls. If someone had Hisaos personality in real life, they'd be in jail. Hisao is too wild and careless to let the law stop him from getting what he wants. And Hisao only wants to be loved. Even if she's unwilling, underaged, and a dog. That's just his nature, and no one can stop him. Not even God.

Mandatory Second Question: How do you feel about Congress confirming that pizza is a veggie? If you want, choose one of the characters in the game and imagine how they'd react if they heard the news on Congress.

Emi would be repulsed. Misha would be pizza delighted. Kenji would explain how the educational jurisdiction are purposely pushing the odds against public school children while doing whatever they can to save a nickel. How fast food and soft drink investors know that addiction can be strongest when started during youth. How America can only stop the obesity epidemic when America puts a stop to the people pushing it. I have a dream. I have a dream. - This is the part where he would be pulled away while wearing a strafe-jacket.

[Chapter 13: How Long Is Break?]

Question: Would you want Hanako to join your group? What would you say to convince Shizune and Misha to let Hanako join you guys?

Considering how you're already implying that I would hang around with Shizune and Misha, I don't think they hold any common ground together. Misha is practically an exact opposite to Hanako, and Shizune despises her best friend like a fish despises having two jobs to pay for child support. However, if those two were out of the picture, I'd still say it depends on who my other friends would be. Maybe I could hang out with Lilly and her occasionally, but I wouldn't make the commitment a certainty. Just like I wouldn't make a certainty of my ability in finding Derpy. Perception is not one of my strong points. I have failed you all, failed my country, failed myself. A Bart Simpson chalkboard session is in order. Terribly sorry, but I am never going to find her, just as I am never going to find my dignity.

Hahaha that was the joke- a clever joke at that. While it suited the 'punch line' for the screen shot I had above it, the edited picture also explains on Misha's logic. She's likable but you can completely tell she's a bit slow on things :p

Of course I would want Hanako to join the group! <:O How can you suggest otherwise?

I'd probably try to convince Shizune that letting Hanako into the group would make her look good in front of the other students and encourage some of them to join the Student Council. Not sure how well that would work, (and it probably wouldn't) but it would be worth a try.

On the other hand, considering Shizune's *ahem* "respect" for Hanako's friend, things could probably turn a bit sour for everyone if Hanako joined.

Also, I have yet to find Derpy at this time.

EDIT: Also I wonder what kind of disability the Heavy would have to end up in Yamaku. :P

If I wanted to force her to be social, then I'd tell Shizune that the greatest way to destroy your enemy is to turn their allies against them, thus we should all befriend Hanako. But since she might enjoy being alone, I'd just smile at her whenever she was looking my direction until she got comfortable waving a hello at me, then invite her to a group.

Is it just me or does it seem like if you were actually there you'd be a creepy stalker to Hananko?

Where you ask ask "what kind of person thinks like this?" Referring to Hisao's thoughts in regards to Shizune working, I think the answer is a descriptive narrator and not an actual person, which is probably one of the reasons Hisao seems odd as a character, because he also doubles as the narrator and gets to say stuff that an Omniscient narrator should say.
Also, the "OH GOD MAH DRILLS" thing, now I can't stop hearing that laugh whenever I read Misha's Wahahaha's, which is good because before the only laughter I could picture her having was Wario's complete with the voice.

As for the Question
Obviously Misha, Shizune and Hisao are talking about Hanako and Hisao wishes for Hanako to join their group as they work in class. Yet, Misha and Shizune object to that. If you were Hisao (or better yet, if you were in their group replacing Hisao) would you want Hanako to join your group? Why or why not? If you do, what would you say to convince Shizune and Misha to let Hanako join you guys?
If I were Hisao I would probably say, "C'mon she can't possibly be worse than me" I'm pretty confident that would work.
If it was me instead of Hisao I most likely would want Hanako to be at our group because having gotten to be the person without team in the class I know how much it sucks, as to what I would say, frankly I would probably just ask Hanako first and then tell Misha and Shizune that it's happening that way they can't argue with me, though given how confrontational Shizune is I'm not sure if it would work.
