Review of Kimi to Kanajo to Kanajo no Koi

Nobody said making desicion was easy, about which I knew several days before when I was apprehending Senren＊Banka; but no one ever said it would be that hard as for Kimi to kanajo to kanajo no koi. Knowing that the moment of truth is drawing near, I was lost in comparing Miss Miyuki Sone and Miss Aoi Mukou when Miyuki was practing self-abuse in front of me.

It might not be a question for those being allergic to "netorare" for Aoi's committing cheating. Just for the record, I, getting no excited about "netorare", will not favor it; but I, being heretic against traditional family structure, can accept it for a reason. Regarding that Aoi will vanish without collecting new CGs, Mr Shinichi Susuki could conceive of no other option to maintain his love but embraced Aoi's copulating with others in Aoi route, which was logical to me. For me, I continually reversed myself once a merit/demerit of them occured to my mind. Aoi was faithful indeed, and so was Miyuki; Miyuki was more smart but yandere, while Aoi was, trying not to hurt others, kind; though kind, it seemed that she was hiding so many things without effective communication... I was trapped in oscillation between two heroines until I began to question my position— why and for whom I made my decision.

In a galgame like this, we players make our decisions to influence the destiny of characters and the development of plot. We could make logical desicion, where we, using common sense, follow the coherence of story; or we could make decision for ourselves, prolonging the storyline to let ourselves see more development concerning our preferred character. When we empathize ourselved with the hero of story, these two aims overlap with each other. However, even when we set the "meta" part aside, I am more a philosopher than a poet who fonds of writing a review. Therefore, I get contradictory when wobbling between these aims.

I perplexed as always, Miyuki, saying "happy birthday to you", shattered the wall to charge me guilty for my breaking the vow with her. Recovered from the shock, I started to concretize my own decision criterion and prepare for my click, where I measure the difference between the behavior of one and that of mine under similar circumstance. From this perspective, I do think Aoi could have confessed more, confronting destiny with Shinichi rather than evading from him; I understand Miyuki, her despair when discovered me and appreciate her endeavour for her existence. So, I made my decision, finding Aoi nowhere but keeping her in mind for my lifetime.

I will not say damned "I've read a lot", but I did consult many other insightful reviews of this "Dimensional Confinement" (“次元囚笼”). Many Aoi fans made excellent analysis and suggested that the game was with systematic deficiency that they were forced to harm Miyuki. Admittedly, I did not stop Aoi only for my fear of awaking sleeping dogs and I was wronged by this game. I still would like to diadem it with "masterpiece", not only for the notes I took to acquaint myself with that Miyuki 1 in 3³⁰, but for its thought-provoking nature and the shock I experienced. Let me conclude this with a quote from it.

Life is like a staircase.
You just gonna keep climbing.
Otherwise, if you start to over think it, you'll have trouble taking the next step.
There are no branching paths.
No point in regretting the actions you didn't take.
They say life is a series of choices, but that's nonsense cooked up by the old and bitter.
Yesterday leads to today, and today leads to tomorrow.
One step at a time.
What lies ahead?
You won't know until you get there.
