Yeah, I was pretty sure I knew how to get the Shizune end by now. I was gonna do: Yes to self-introduction, Aggressive move in Risk and take their side in the Lilly/Shizune conflict. The 3-choice question during lunch with Misha/Shizune, however, I dunno. I suppose ask about Shizune's deafness? I've done that one before, though, and it does (seemingly) nothing. I asked about the library my first time because I thought it'd lead to Hanako (which I did get my first time). What does the final choice do ("I think I got everything I need to know")?
Anyway, starting now.

Oh, HO! I remember now. I forgot about this decision because it didn't appear in my 2nd play through. It must not become an option unless you play aggressively in Risk (or do the self-introduction? but I don't think that question really affects the game much). It seems to be the main factor in branching off towards Shizune or towards Hanako/Lilly.
Wait for Misha and Shizune to come to a decision.
Read my book.
I did the latter the first time. And I never got that question at all my 2nd time. I guess it's what really starts you down the Shizune route. Doing it now!
Oh, and I'll add that I picked the 3rd option on that lunch question this time. It seems to make Misha and Shizune happy. Choosing "Ask about Shizune's deafness" does nothing because he feels too awkward/nervous to actually ask about it.

FFFFFFFFFFFFF- Yuuko works at the tea cafe place too? What the hell?! I hate her enough as the librarian. GAH.
This is awesome. I love how every time I play it's almost like a completely new story. I'm surprised (again) by how different the Misha/Shizune route is. Like spending the day missing class with them, instead of wondering where they were. It even makes you miss the conversation with Muto about what to do. Interesting.
Just joined the student council. Wooo It sucked having to be mean to Lilly...again. This route is actually quite a bit of fun, regardless. I find myself liking Misha a lot more than Shizune, though. I imagine Shizune probably takes on an adorable tsundere relationship with Hisao if you pursue her, but still. Misha's much more attractive.
LOL oh god. Misha/Shizune invade Hisao's room. I had to pause at this new decision when Misha asks about my meds.
Try to dodge the subject
Kick them out of my room
AWESOME. This is like the decision that appeared on the Emi route (Run faster or slow down). I might have to play a couple more times to see the different responses to the different answers. Quite amazing how thorough Chapter 1 is, with a surprising number of different scenarios/scenes.

Okay, sweet. Finished my 3rd complete play through. I definitely have to say that one was interesting. It seemed to be the most "selfish" route, in that almost all of it was spent with Misha/Shizune. In Hanako's route, I spent a considerable amount of time with nearly every girl (some more than others, but not the point), until the end. I thought the ending was nice. The fireworks were quite well done, and it made me like Shizune a bit more. Though what happened to Misha? She was up on the roof with them too, but it was like she wasn't there. Was she just watching the fireworks away from them? I thought it was sweet how Hisao was talking to Shizune about wanting to date her, knowing she couldn't hear him...but how did Misha not overhear that? WHERE WAS SHE. lol Overall, I will say it's the best Chapter 1 ending because it's the only one where Hisao admits to falling in love already.
Now I have 92% complete. Missing 4 scenes and 1 song. I also noticed something VERY odd (possible glitch). After my first play through, in my Extras' Library, I noticed I had both Hanako's and Lilly's ending scene. I didn't pay any attention to it. But now that I've realized their name only fills in when you get their ending scene, I decided to watch Lilly's...since I know I haven't gotten it yet. Sure enough, I had never seen that ending before. Why does it say I have it unlocked? I should have had only Hanako's, Emi's and Shizune's at this point. Meh. Regardless, I think I will still try to achieve Lilly's ending legitly.
And that also leaves Rin's end and MANLY PICNIC. Goodness this is a fun VN. Crazy how much content there is in just Chapter 1. I am impressed and pleased.

k, found someone that has already made a Chapter 1 route map:
[SPOILER=Serious, ultimate spoilers inside this one. Do not open unless you have played once or more already...or if you're a f'ag who doesn't care]

Looking over it, though, I've found you do NOT have to follow those listed routes exactly to achieve the desired ending scene. For example, I achieved Hanako's route by picking some different answers as listed. You just have to answer a certain way on the questions that really matter. The first question in the game is completely worthless, from what I've found.
And looks like I was right about how to get Rin's end. I figured as much after playing my 2nd time, since Emi and Rin are so close. I figured if I answer "Take it easy" when running with her I'd start to move towards Rin rather than Emi. Now I just gotta try it.

Okay, yeah. After thoroughly looking over that route map and considering everything I've experienced in my three complete play throughs, I've found this game is definitely quite loose with your responses. Which is impressive because it really makes what'd you think happen, happen. There's not really any "set in stone" routes in Chapter 1. For example, you could still have the heart attack while running with Emi and end up with Shizune, depending on the earlier and approaching choices. That means there's MANY different ways to achieve endings. It's surprisingly realistic. And I think it's safe to say the first 4-5 (at least first 3) questions don't have ANY effect besides changing some dialogue.
Oh...and, how long am I going to keep talking with myself I wonder? No one to discuss things with ever. ;_;

k so I couldn't resist playing more tonight. Decided to use Skip Mode now, though. I've been playing through it all manually previously, all three times. Now I'm just gonna use Skip to move to the decisions and get the rest of my missing scenes. Found the MANLY PICNIC end first.
OH MY GOD.

Missing 3 scenes and I have all the songs now.
