A [[Visual Novel]] created by Flying Shine in 2003. ''CROSS†CHANNEL'' is an [[Eroge|H-game]] for PC with a [[Bleached Underpants|clean version]] available for [[PlayStation 2]] and [[
Self proclaimed "Love Aristocrat" Taichi Kurosu attends a school called Gunjou Institute with his fellow members of the Broadcasting Club. Gunjou is a place for people who, based on an adaption exam, have an abnormally high adaptation coefficient. This means that the government has deemed them unlikely to be able to adapt into society. Taichi himself has an adaption coefficient of over 80, which is thought to be impossible.
Line 40:
* [[Conflict Ball]]: Kiri has a death grip on one for the majority of the game. {{spoiler|She does have a reason, but her actions are still not helping the situation everyone is in.}}
* [[Deconstruction]] : Isn't it interesting how all these tsunderes, cuckoolanders, emotionless girls and whatnot are all living together in a community for ''those who cannot function properly in society?''
** [[Golden Ending]]: deconstructed as pointed out by Youko {{spoiler|the hundreds or thousands of times Taichi has repeated the game has resulted in countless [[Bad Ending|bad endings]] for Taichi and there IS no super happy ending out there. And ultimately she is proven right in the game's [[Bittersweet Ending]], where everyone but Taichi gets sent back to the real world, Taichi remains in self-imposed exile, and its left questionable if a few people who he sends back will ever fully recover and become functional members of society (Touko & Youko in particular.)}}
* [[Dartboard of Hate]]: Except replace "darts" with "[[The Archer|crossbow]]" and "dartboard" with {{spoiler|a doll of Taichi}}.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Taichi suffers some pretty major [[Sanity Slippage]] throughout the whole game, but he comes closest to this in {{spoiler|Youko's route}}. After his realization, he finally decides to truly become [[The Atoner]] and {{spoiler|return everyone to the original world.}}
* [[Destructive Romance]]: Taichi {{spoiler|and Touko}} used to be in this type of relationship. Taichi was basically using her as an experiment to see just how much he could break her while retaining his sanity, {{spoiler|and Touko was so desperate for love and attention that she just decided not to ''care'', [[Yandere (disambiguation)|so long as it wasn't with anyone else.]]}} And when he decided to ''break'' the relationship? [[Woman Scorned|Hoo boy]]...
** {{spoiler|Or at least that's how Taichi thinks of it in retrospect. At the time, it was an experiment to see if he could be a normal human being. It failed, and part of the reason why is that in a place like Gunjou he has no one normal to interact with. The basics still apply, though, as Touko becomes more and more obsessed when during her route the relationship is restarted.}}
* [[Diabolus Ex Machina]]: {{spoiler|Miki's route. Oh ''god'', Miki's route. Even [[Ninja|Youko]] dies in that one.}}
Line 109:
* [[Utsuge]]: Especially in the final weeks.
* [[Wham! Line]]: At least for Kiri: {{spoiler|"[[Broken Pedestal|Your Nii-san was a horrible, filthy rapist]]."}}
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Youko nearly pulls off one in the final week, figuring out what Taichi is up to she aids him without question in sending everyone else back to the real world. Then when only the two of them remain she torches all the saved records from the hokora then captures and plans to kill his "saved" self and live forever in a perpetual loop with him as a phenomena, with his reset self none the wiser to what has happened and incapable of learning the truth. Only a brutal last minute [[Hannibal Lecture]] by Taichi allows him to turn the tables and force her to leave instead.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Largely averted, as everyone and their dog notices Taichi's pure white hair and remarks upon it as strange. It's also a kind of a plot point.
