Highschool Romance



Highschool Romance is a 2015 romantic Visual Novel developped and published by AJTilley.

Shoji, a male student, has been sent by accident to an all-girl school. Oops. But Lea, the head teacher and principal, has an idea: dress up Shoji as a girl and pretend he is one. Thus starts a journey of friendship and romance for Shoji, as he chooses between a sassy athlete, a shy class rep and Lea herself.


 * Artistic License Linguistics: Shoji sounds like a boy's name, and he is supposed to be a girl. Naming him "Shoka", as in the suffix "-ka", like in Japanese form for female names, would have solved the inaccuracy.
 * Although using false information in a school is probably very risky and illegal, both for the student and personnel. That would have caused more trouble than necessary.
 * Can't Hold Her Liquor: Hoshi, during her karaoke trip with Shoji. Lampshaded by him.
 * Gratuitous French: "C'est la Vie"
 * Mood Dissonance: If Shoji decides to have lunch with Selina, Hoshi will appear a while later, looking sad and hurt at the whole situation (Shoji thought so himself), even though her sprite shows a smile on her face.
 * The epilogue with Hoshi is pretty romantic, even though a sombre piano piece is playing.
 * Plot Twist: Selina, on the common route, puts Shoji in a compromising situation by asking him to take a shower. If he, Selina will say that
 * School Festival
 * Teacher-Student Romance: Lea and Shoji, if her route is taken.
 * The Reveal Prompts Romance: When Shoji
 * Unknown Rival: Played With. Hoshi is really bad at being a rival to Selina, as the sporty girl says many times. It doesn't help that Hoshi is not really jealous of Selina, who wants Shoji's love and is trying her best to antagonize her "rival."
