''[[A Kiss for the Petals]]'' (その花びらにくちづけを, ''Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o'') is a series of [[Girls Love]] [[Eroge]] [[Visual Novel
Currently five couples star in this series. In the [[Visual Novel|Visual Novels]], the couples' [[Relationship Upgrade|Relationship Upgrades]] happen very early in the plot and most of the plot deals with [[Eroge]] scenes as well as how their relationships progress emotionally. There is also a spinoff [[Doujinshi]] series called ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120203155616/http://axypbworld.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/xenocross-volume-1/ Music Box of Memories]'' released in October 2011 (available officially in English) that brings all of the characters together along with a few new ones as they work to produce a science-fiction film.
The five couples are as follows:
Line 9:
'''Nanami Oda/Yuuna Matsubara''' (pictured)
A [[Sempai-Kohai]] pairing between Nanami, an [[Ordinary High School Student]] and Yuuna, an [[Ojou]] as well as a [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]. This couple is first introduced on opening day when Nanami accidentally tears her skirt. At that moment, she meets Yuuna and Yuuna uses her sewing kit to come to Nanami's rescue. Nanami ends up joining the student council with Yuuna and eventually [[Caught
Nanami and Yuuna star in the first game, the sixth game, two light novels, and two drama CDs (one released, one upcoming). This couple also plays a role in a [[Web Serial Novel]] found on Fuguriya's website. A [[Fan Translation]] of the first game [http://sonohanabira.countpacula.com/ has been released]. A translation for the sixth has begun.
Line 17:
This pairing is a [[Kissing Cousins]] pairing between Kaede, a [[Shrinking Violet]] and Sara, a famous model/TeenIdol. Their story begins with Sara transferring to Kaede's school and also living with Kaede's family. Sara reveals to Kaede that she harbors feelings for her from when they were childhood friends.
Kaede and Sara star in the second game, the fourth game, two light novels, and one drama CD. [[Fan Translation|Fan Translations]] of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102075953/http://petalsgarden.axypb.net/2011/01/09/sh2/ second] and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102063624/http://petalsgarden.axypb.net/2011/07/22/sh4/ fourth] game have been released.
'''Mai Sawaguchi/Reo Kawamura''' (pictured on [[Intertwined Fingers]])
Line 23:
With this pairing we have Mai, a [[Dogged Nice Guy|Dogged Nice Girl]] and Reo, a type A [[Tsundere]]. Mai and Reo don't get along initially until one day, Mai misses school because of sickness and a worried (but trying to hide it) Reo visits her that same night.
[[Even Better Sequel|By far the most popular couple]], Mai and Reo star in the third game, the fifth game, three light novels, two drama CDs, and an adult [[OVA]] (based loosely on the third game). To commemorate the anime, a [http://www.youtube.com/user/fuguriya ten-part (work-safe) audio drama series] has been uploaded by Fuguriya at YouTube ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmpu9uQv2Ic translation for this has started as well]). In addition, an [[Updated Rerelease]] of the third game was released with bugfixes, script fixes and updated music. [[Fan Translation|Fan Translations]] for [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102075446/http://petalsgarden.axypb.net/2011/03/16/sh3/ the third] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102085418/http://petalsgarden.axypb.net/2011/08/16/sh5/ the fifth game] have been released.
'''Runa Houraisen/Takako Suminoe'''
Line 29:
Runa/Takako is a [[Teacher-Student Romance]] pairing between the [[Wise Beyond Their Years]] [[Kidanova]] Runa and her [[Moe]] teacher Takako. Things start out with Takako introducing Runa to class when Runa steals a kiss from Takako in front of everyone, declaring to the class that Takako now belongs to her.
Runa and Takako debuted in a [[Web Serial Novel]] found on Fugiriya's website. The web novel is significantly tamer than the [[Visual Novel|visual novels]] although it does contain [[Lolicon]] content. A translated English version can be found [http://www.mediafire.com/?5jyyii5hnzz here]. This couple stars in the seventh game and one light novel released December 2009, and the tenth game and another light novel due in December 2010. [[Hotter and Sexier|These two items drop the relative tameness of the original web novel completely]], but their significant age gap is not as controversial as expected outside the fandom. A [[Fan Translation]] of the seventh game [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102074344/http://petalsgarden.axypb.net/2011/11/22/sh7/ is done]. This couple stars in the ninth game (the tenth if you count Hanahira) as well.
'''Shizuku Kirishima/Eris Shitogi'''
This time we have Eris, a [[But Not Too Foreign|half-European girl]] paired up with the [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] Shizuku. Eris [[New Transfer Student|transfers]] into Shizuku's class from overseas and Shizuku finds herself instantly smitten by the tall blonde girl.
Eris and Shizuku star in the eighth game, the tenth game (or eleventh, if Hanahira! is counted) and one light novel released in February 2010. Both novels are [https://web.archive.org/web/20140914194502/http://wiki.yuriproject.org/tenshi_no_hanabira_zome currently being] [[Fan Translation|translated]].
'''Kaori Hanemura/Amane Yuuki, Koharu Uozumi/Makoto Toudou'''
What was once assumed to be a sixth couple has turned out to be a [[Bleached Underpants|non-hentai]] [[Spin
{{tropelist}}
▲* [[A Date With Rosie Palms]]: Some of the [[Visual Novel]] couples have their moments.
* [[Baka]]: Reo calls Mai this frequently, even during love scenes!
* [[Bleached Underpants]]: ''Hanahira!'' was created as an answer to demand for a non-hentai entry to the series, particularly from female fans and fans of the drama CDs (which are mostly pure [[Slice of Life]]) and the ''Reo/Mai Diaries'' (which are not [[Ecchi]] at all).
* [[Cast Full of Gay|Cast Full of Lesbian]]: Parents seem to be the only straight characters in this series.
* [[Cast Herd]]: Each game/CD/novel focuses on a single couple. The games feature occasional cameos from other characters.
* [[Caught
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Reo says that Mai is one of the top three most admired [[Onee-Sama]] in the school. Guess who the other two are.
* [[Contemptible Cover]]: For most of the [[Light Novels]].
* [[Cosplay]]: Happens a few of times in the fourth game with [[Meido]], [[Miko]], and [[Catgirl]] [[Cosplay]].
* [[Distracted
* [[Double Entendre]]: Possible English translations of the title include ''To Kiss the Flower Petal'' and ''A Kiss for the Petals''.
* [[Elaborate University High]]: St. Michael's School for Girls is revealed to be quite large in the later games.
Line 74 ⟶ 70:
* [[Homoerotic Dream]]: A couple of the girls have these dreams about their significant other.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: The web novel featuring Runa and Takako manages to stay in the boundaries of [[Ecchi]]. The same can't be said of their visual novels and light novels.
* [[I'm Taking Her Home
* [[The Immodest Orgasm]]: All of the girls, but Yuuna especially.
* [[
* [[Indirect Kiss]]: Surprisingly, this trope is used a couple of times after the characters have already done the more direct thing.
* [[Intertwined Fingers]]: This series absolutely loves this trope.
Line 83 ⟶ 79:
* [[Look Behind You!]]: Yuuna uses this successfully on Nanami, as does Mai on Reo.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: All characters have them at almost all times.
* [[Making Love in All
* [[Marilyn Maneuver]]: Happens to Nanami at a time where she isn't wearing any underwear!
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Yuuna does this to Nanami in game one.
Line 101 ⟶ 97:
* [[Questionable Consent]]: Most of the relationships begin with one girl molesting the other while the latter is still unsure about her own feelings; even after the initial stage, some characters don't understand what "no" means and will keep going until their partners give in and agree to have sex with them. This is especially true for Mai, although Reo secretly loves it, usually [[Incredibly Lame Pun|gushing]] her appreciation.
* [[Rape Is Love]]: The game makers were probably going for seduction but the language used in a few of the sex scenes from the first two games pushes those scenes into this category.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: ''Music Box Of Memories'' introduces Meiling Lee and Yoshimi Makino, who are old acquaintences of the cast. However, Yoshimi is a subversion as she is actually from one of the light novels (but not said to be friends with anyone other than Sara), making her an [[Ascended Extra]].
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Takako and Runa's sister had this kind of relationship when Takako was in high school. They both have regrets about not taking this further.
** The spinoff ''Hanahira!'' has two of these.
* [[Satellite Character]]: Three of Nanami's friends from the second-year class. They are seen in a little-known [[Web Serial Novel]] "Joshikou no Waidan" thirteen chapters long (the last of which was published in 2007), two of the light novels and a few pieces of promotional artwork.
* [[Say It
* [[Schedule Slip]]: A sixth couple has been announced for debut in June 2010 but turned out to be two couples in a new non-H series for release in September.
* [[School Newspaper Newshound]]
Line 112 ⟶ 108:
* [[Secret Relationship]]: Nanami/Yuuna.
* [[Sempai-Kohai]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[
** The intro of the YouTube series parodies the famous [[MGM]] [[Vanity Plate]].
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Applies to every character.
Line 121 ⟶ 117:
* [[Story to Gameplay Ratio]]: Gameplay level is low, even for a [[Visual Novel]]. Whereas most visual novels have upwards of hundreds of branches, these games have no more than ''five'' each. And even then, the correct choices are blindingly obvious.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]:
{{quote|
* [[Squee]]: See [[Yuri Fangirl]] below.
* [[There Is Only One Bed]]: Sara is forced to share a bed with Kaede. Not that Sara minds.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Makoto and Koharu respectively.
* [[WAFF]]: The [[Light Novels]] and OVA play out like this sort of fanfic.
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: In the OVA, Reo gets swirls in the eyes when she tries to sit up too quickly with a fever.
** Reo also gets hearts when she sees Mai dress up in the outfit Reo picks in the fifth novel.
Line 131 ⟶ 127:
* [[Years Too Early]]: Reo says this to a group of girls who try to befriend her.
* [[You Are Number Six]]: The main characters' classmates who have voices are referred to in script as "Girl A", "Girl B", "Girl C", etc. Takako refers to her students who aren't Runa as these names in dialogue.
* [[Yuri Fangirl]]: If a crowd of girls witnesses a [[Yuri]] act, expect lots of [[Squee
