Katawa Shoujo: Difference between revisions

** It's revealed in Shizune's route that the Student Council is so small because of her attempts to ''play this straight''. Before she became President, the Student Council was quite larger, but didn't actually ''do'' anything aside from hand out mail and surveys. Shizune attempted to get the Student Council to take on significantly more responsibility, but ended up driving off everyone but Misha due to her abrasive methods. Also, in Lilly's route it's revealed that {{spoiler|Lilly used to be part of the Student Council as well. However, it's implied she left because she didn't agree with Shizune's Machiavellian style of leadership, something that is also referenced and confirmed in Shizune's route}}.

** Jigoro, who has nothing but contempt for the council, believes that Yamaku is not much of a school if three students (Hisao included) can run the student body, especially considering that [[What Exactly Is His Job?|Hisao and Misha do not have official positions]]. Shizune, on the other hand, seems to consider most of Yamaku to be apathetic.

** The scene in Act 1 where you meet Emi while going out with Shizune and Misha is called "Short Sharp Shock".

** A paragraph in Rin's neutral ending has a tinge of this: {{spoiler|"It's teasing, taunting. [...] I'm sure it would tickle tantalizingly and I would giggle even though I'm a guy."}}

* [[Inspired By]]: [http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/post/view/1 A sketch.]

* [[Intentionally Awkward Title]]: If you speak Japanese, anyway. "Disability" isn't really an accurate translation of "katawa"; "crippled" or even "deformed" is closer, and the term is just about as offensive as that would imply. The developers are well aware of this, but did not and will not change it for multiple reasons.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: In Emi's route, "These things happen." {{spoiler|It was Emi's philosophy for her father's death and her accident, and how she chose to live her life: bad things happen, so live for the moment and don't get close to anyone. As she confesses that she was glad she met Hisao and that they fell in love, he responds with the same words, because good things happen, too.}}

* [[It's a Wonderful Failure]]: Unable to get onto any girl's route before the festival? Looks like you get to spend your festival time drinking on the roof with Kenji. {{spoiler|And then [[Bad End|you fall off the roof and die]]}}. Go pick a girl, dumbass!
