Game Notes

After finishing the Murasame route of Senren＊Banka: a sword spirit who kept watch for five hundred years, the line "I'll cut your every worry down where it stands," and how a being who was no longer human won back a human happiness.

Thoughts on the Chris route of ensemble's Hana wa Mijikashi, Odoreyo Otome: a cross-dressing kabuki onnagata and the proud noble girl Chris, who fall in love as two maidens and stay together even after his secret comes out.

Late February 2024: I opened Jisheng for the first time, and learned for the first time what a visual novel was. Over three days I read all four of Bailushe's Linghua yuri series—and the last, Nanzhi, happened to release on the very day I caught up.

After finishing Nagareboshi -a wish star-: Mikoto, Kanata, their fleeting summer, and why a god came to long for the most ordinary human happiness.

From an android being delivered to a daughter finally acknowledged: revisiting Philia and Jude's journey toward their destination in Stella of the End.

After finishing ATRI -My Dear Moments-: Atri, Natsuki, and that bright, fleeting summer by the sea.
