Line 6: Kouhei Kagami is an [[Ordinary High School Student]] who also happens to be adopted but can't seem to fit in with his family even after living with them for most of his life. He feels he's going nowhere, [[Brilliant but Lazy\|forced to keep up the image of a model student]] when in reality he just wants to be left alone and [[I Just Want to Be Normal\|do whatever he wants]]. Over the course of the story, he meets three girls who all need his help: ~~ostracised~~ostracized, introverted Aeka, cool and distant idol Mizuki, and "Cat Sidhe Nekoko", a mysterious girl who appears out of nowhere and throws his life into disarray. Each of the three possible routes has Kouhei dealing with one of the problems faced by many high school students in [[Real Life]], such as [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin\|bullying, drugs, and interpersonal relationships]]. Naturally you can't save them all so Kouhei must choose one and leave the others to their own fates, but such is the [[Blessed with Suck\|curse]] of being a [[Visual Novel]] protagonist. ''[[Yume Miru Kusuri]]'' also goes one step further and addresses some of the knock-on consequences of these problems like depression, suicide, family troubles and, in a rare twist for a [[Visual Novel]], {{spoiler\|pregnancy}}. Beneath all of its ~~humour~~humor and heartwarming moments, ''[[Yume Miru Kusuri]]'' is a rather dark game and doesn't shy away from [[Anvilicious\|dropping some anvils]] regarding social issues and conventions that some [[Visual Novel\|Visual Novels]] take for granted, although [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]. It also has its fair share of surreal moments. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''[[Yume Miru Kusuri]]'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[A-Cup Angst]]: Aya is as steep as a cliffside and Kouhei teases her about it relentlessly. * [[Adults Are Useless]]: Teachers will refuse to intervene in the problems of students, parents seem to neglect their children because of jobs or other troubles, and policemen are generally ineffectual. Subverted in the [[Happy Ending\|happy ends]] with {{spoiler\|Kouhei's adoptive parents who end up repairing their relationship with him with a little help from the girl of his dreams. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming\|Dawwwww...]]}} Line 98 ⟶ 97: * [[Suspiciously Vague Age]]: Lampshaded with Aya when Kouhei claims that she ''must'' be over 20 despite her obvious loliness. She has no idea what he's talking about. Not that she has a sex scene, but it does otherwise apply. * [[Those Two Guys]]: Misaki and Takeshi. * [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli]]: Aya * [[Traumatic Haircut]]: Kyoka tries to do this to Aeka. Aeka tells her to stop beating around the bush and [[Get It Over With\|just kill her already]]. * [[Trojan Gauntlet]]: In Aeka's route, Kouhei must break off mid-way to the sex to run and buy some birth control. {{spoiler\|He never did it in Mizuki's route, and the result is [[Babies Ever After\|quite obvious.]]}} * [[Unreliable Narrator]]: At several critical points on Nekoko's route, most significantly {{spoiler\|her sad ending}}, Kouhei himself is high on fairy dust, and gives uncertain information to the reader and himself. * [[Utsuge]]: Probably not on the same level as [[Key Visual Arts]] but whether they're tears of joy or anguish, it will wring them out of you.
