I would be okay with a Tokimemo ending where our girl becomes the new Undertaker. Actually, this game was called Wrestle Angels Survivor and was released in 2006 for the PS2.

Have you heard the legend of this school? They say when that gong sounds in the old stadium, a phenom will rise to defend love the World Heavyweight Championship!

Tokimemo Girl's Side 2, Chapter 11: Give me that stuff that funk that sweet

2/14: Valentine's Day

Poll results are in, so it's time to show how it happened...


Siren: (I think I'll give the giri chocolate to Harry.)
Siren: Harry!
Harry: ...Oh, it's you. What is it?


Siren: Here, I got you Valentine's chocolate!
Harry: What's with this obviously cheap chocolate?
Harry: Well, whatever, chocolate is chocolate.
Harry: I wonder how many that makes for today?
Harry: I'm such a ladykiller.
Siren: (Well, he enjoyed it... I think.)


Siren: (And then, I'll give the expensive chocolate to Wakaoji-sensei.
Siren: Wakaoji-sensei!
Wakaoji: Yes, I'm here. What is it?
Siren: I, umm, I got you some Valentine's Day chocolate.


Wakaoji: Oh my. This looks quite fancy.
Siren: Yeah, I kind of splurged on it.


Wakaoji: We teachers aren't supposed to accept anything but giri chocolate.
Siren: Oh...
Wakaoji: Don't worry. There's an easy way around this.
Wakaoji: We'll just call this one an expensive giri chocolate. Thank you.
Siren: (He downgraded it to a giri chocolate...)


Siren: (As for the chocolate I worked so hard on, I'll definitely give it to Saeki-kun!)
Siren: (I hope he accepts it...)
Siren: Saeki-kun!
Teru: Ren. Uh, hi!
Siren: Here you go, your very own Valentine's chocolate!


Teru: Whoa, you made this yourself, didn't you?
Siren: I did!


Teru: And you mass produced them too, right?
Siren: What do you mean, mass produced?
Teru: It looks kinda unfinished. There are some pretty lumpy parts.


Siren: Fine! I'll just take these home with me!
Teru: Nope. I'm confiscating them. I'll fix the mistakes myself.
Siren: (Does he always have to be so spiteful? But he seemed happy, at least!)

He... he did?

2/25: Hitting up the flea market for clothes, and then...

After hitting the flea market to try and fill out her wardrobe again, Siren bumps into a now-familiar bickering pair.


???: I told you, I don't need it! I'm fine!
???: I can't just leave ya sufferin'! I gotta help!
Siren: (Is that Harry and Haruhi-chan over there arguing?)


Siren: What're you two doing out here?
Harry: Oh, it's you.
Haruhi: ...Ren!
Harry: She won't leave me alone, I need you to get her off my back.
Haruhi: Ya don't have ta be so mean about it!
Harry: Then stop butting in when it's none of your business!
Siren: Calm down, guys. What happened?


Haruhi: Harry kept sayin' his throat hurt, so I went and made him some green onion juice.
Siren: Green... onion... juice.
Haruhi: Well, he said that green onions are good for a sore throat, so I was thinkin'...


Harry: You weren't thinking!
Harry: No matter how good they are for a sore throat, how could I possibly drink that awful crud?
Haruhi: Just try sippin' it a little, and if ya don't like it, then...
Harry: I can't take this anymore. You talk to her!
Siren: Wait a second, Harry!


Haruhi: Geez, just 'cause it stinks a little...


Haruhi: Blech, this is disgustin'!
Siren: (I knew it...)

When Siren gets home, another e-mail from Haruhi awaits.


From: Haruhi
Re: What do ya think'll work?

Okay, the green onion thing was a mess.
So I'm workin' on makin' a new mix for him, but what can I put in that Harry'll drink?

I was thinkin' maybe kumquat daikon juice.
Don't that seem great for the throat?
It should be perfect.
Oh, and I heard quince is good for the throat too, maybe I'll put some in there too!
And then maybe he'll drink it up!

So, think it'll work?

Haruhi

Haruhi is obviously the girl that Harry deserves.

2/28: Goodbye, hello... and goodbye again.


Siren: (Today, we say goodbye to all the graduating students.)
Siren: (The speech by the representative of the remaining students was pretty moving.)

You may or may not remember this from Tokimemo 2, but many Japanese graduations not only have a valedictory speech, but also a speech from the students that bids the upperclassmen farewell. It's just hard to take it seriously in Tokimemo 2, because Homura and Mei mess up the occasion by calling each other out... or by Homura taking over the ceremony and using it as her confession.


Siren: (Alright, all of the cleanup's done! All that's left is to bring the gym key back to the faculty room, and--huh?)


Siren: (That's the second-year who gave the speech.)
Siren: (Did something really sad happen to him?)
Siren: (He looks like he was cut from marble like a Greek statue. Painfully so.)


???: Hmm?
Siren: ?!?!!


???: Good afternoon.
Siren: Uh, good afternoon. I, uh, I was just--
???: Locking things up, right?
Siren: Uh, yeah. Sorry.
???: Why are you apologizing?
???: Oh... am I frightening you?
Siren: N, no, not at all.


Tarou: Majima Tarou. 2nd year.
Tarou: People tell me that my face and my name don't match very well.
Siren: Well, they're righ--wait! I mean, um...
Tarou: You laughed at me, didn't you? I'm pretty sensitive about that, you know.
Siren: I'm sorry!
Tarou: I'll forgive you if you tell me your name.
Siren: Oh! I'm a 1st year student, Fudou Siren.


Tarou: Hmm. You're pretty cute. Don't you think so yourself?
Option 1: No way!
Option 2: Actually, yeah.


Shyness and humility really haven't been part of Siren's personality this playthrough, why start now?


Siren: Actually, yeah. A little bit.
Tarou: I knew it. But let me tell you something...
Tarou: You're nothing special.
Taro: Bye.
Siren: (...)
Siren: (...What a jerk!)

I feel like Siren has dodged a bullet by being confident enough to offput the Obvious rear end in a top hat character.

3/1: Oh right, Masaki is still a character


Masaki: Ren.
Siren: Oh, hi Masaki-senpai. Good work today.
Masaki: You too. You've gotten pretty good at this, haven't you?
Siren: I still get in trouble a lot, but I get by somehow...
Masaki: You learn fast, and you're doing great. Not like me.


Masaki: So anyway, I'd like you to trim these roses for me.
Siren: Haha, yes sir!
Masaki: Thanks!
Siren: (Now, let's see...)
Siren: Ow!


Masaki: Crap, I almost forgot to tell... you.
Masaki: ...Guess I'm too late, huh.
Masaki: I was gonna tell you to watch out for the thorns and the slugs, but...
Masaki: Wait, what am I doing just standing here?
Masaki: C'mere.
Siren: Um, okay.


Masaki: Alright, show me where you're bleeding.
Siren: Umm, I can do this for myself. You don't have to.
Masaki: Quit complaining!
Siren: O, okay!
Masaki: When I was new here, I did the same thing.
Masaki: I figured it wasn't a big deal and left it alone, so the manager and Arisawa got real mad at me.
Masaki: It ended up getting infected, and just thinking about it makes me feel kinda sick.
Siren: Ugh... I see now.
Masaki: Yup. And I can't just stand around and let that happen to your hand, too.
Siren: Masaki-senpai...


Masaki: Alright, that should be good.
Masaki: After you get home and get out of the shower, make sure to disinfect it again, and--
Siren: Haha, I'll be fine. You shouldn't worry so much, Masaki-senpai.


Masaki: ...Can it.
Masaki: Does your finger still hurt at all?
Siren: It feels fine. And... thanks, Masaki-senpai.
Masaki: You're welcome. Now, let's split up these roses and I'll trim half of them.
Siren: Okay.

3/3: Praised for a perfect week by Teru, of all people

After a perfect week of studying...


Siren: (My studies went great this week!)
Teru: Hey, are you getting smarter these days?
Teru: You're looking more and more like a real student.
Siren: (Yay!)

That's... praise, I guess.

3/5-3/9: Finals


Siren: All that studying paid off.

1st: Hikami Itaru
14th: Saeki Teru
15th: Onoda Chiyomi
18th: Fudou Siren
(HUGE GAP)
229th: Nishimoto Haruhi
292nd: Hariya Kounoshin



Teru: Not bad...
Siren: Hey, Saeki-kun!
Teru: Nope, cut that out. No playing nice.
Teru: You think you can stay at the top of the class by being soft?
Siren: .....
Siren: (I can't let him beat me!)

3/11: Rock show with Harry


Siren's wardrobe has changed a lot since the great wardrobe purge of 2008, but the flea market has allowed Siren to put together a Sporty outfit - which Harry appreciates.


Siren: (Am I a little late? Harry's... over there!)
Siren: Sorry, did I keep you waiting long?
Harry: You're late! What would you do if we were about to start a show, huh?
Siren: I'm sorry!


Harry: The next time you pull this crap, you're fired!


And then he immediately drops everything he was talking about and compliments Siren's clothes. Typical.


Harry: Oh man, I can't wait. Let's get in there!
Siren: Yeah!
Harry: I'm so excited...!


Harry: Yeeeeah, concerts are just the greatest!
Harry: The cheering just drives me crazy!
Siren: That concert was great!
Harry: Right?! People say that visual kei is just about the look, but the songs are great too!
Siren: (Yay! I made a great impression!)


Harry: It looks good today, right?

It took me a few tries to figure out what he would like, and I am somehow unsurprised that the best option was poking at/staring at his hair.

3/12: Exposition from Harry


Siren: Hey, Harry!
Harry: Need something?
Siren: Want to walk home together?
Harry: Sure, I don't mind.
Siren: Cool, let's go.


Harry: Did you know that the lighthouse on the coast has a legend to it?
Siren: What kind of legend?
Harry: They say that couples formed at that lighthouse will live happily ever after.


Harry: A mermaid princess and a prince met there once upon a time...
Harry: And they lived happily ever after, or they never saw each other again, something like that.
Harry: Well, it's just a story.
Siren: (Hmm? I feel like I've heard that story before.)

3/14: White Day


Yuu: Morning, sis!
Siren: Morning, Yuu-kun. You're up early.
Yuu: Well, yeah. Today's White Day! I have to give all these gifts out.
Siren: Starting this early?


Yuu: I got a lot of chocolate.
Yuu: It sure does suck to be so popular!


Yuu: Anyway, this is for you, Sis.
Yuu: I gotta get going. See you later!
Siren: (I didn't even give him anything, but he gave me a gift anyway!)


Harry: Yo.
Siren: Hi, Harry. What's up?
Harry: Here you go. This is for Valentine's Day.
Siren: Th, thanks.


Harry: That takes care of the last of it!
Harry: Ugggggh, I think I'll take a break on the roof.
Harry: Later.
Siren: (Hmm, this definitely is a giri gift.)


Wakaoji: Fudou-san.
Siren: Oh, hi Wakaoji-sensei.
Wakaoji: This is my thanks for Valentine's Day.
Wakaoji: The vice principal approved it and everything.
Wakaoji: Bye!
Siren: (Hmm, this is definitely a giri gift too.)


Teru: Hey there, hi.
Siren: Hey, Saeki-kun!
Teru: Can I grab you for a second?
Siren: Hmm?


Teru: This is for you, Ren. For last month.
Siren: Yay! Thanks!
Teru: Yeah, uh... do me a favor and put it away fast.
Siren: Sure.
Teru: Good.
Teru: ...Later.


Siren: (I wonder what he gave me?)
Siren: (An assortment of homemade cookies.)
Siren: (Wow, they're so well made! They're delicate, like a pro made them!)
Siren: (I need to practice how to do this myself...)

You can tell it more with the voice acting, but he's definitely affectionately teasing Siren about her less than great chocolate skills.
Source: Growing up with a sister about my age, where we would mercilessly look for openings to tease each other.

Tarou's route is completely awful. A PUA is a good analogy. His favorite stat is Charm, and he acts affectionate to girls to get them to go on dates with him, all while you have to pick responses that make the heroine completely oblivious to the fact that he's an rear end in a top hat with a whole, "I don't believe he's really like that!". Then when you get to third year, he dumps you with a "I just wanted to get a date with an underclassman off my list, sorry you were dumb." If you choose to pursue the relationship, the next thing you do is serve is be forced to serve tea in Cafe Alucard to him and his girlfriends for 180 days (lowering your stats tremendously), and keep getting events where he is an rear end in a top hat and you picking the "I still believe in him~!" option. I've never gone down the route past the dumping you at graduation event, but from what I've read, it eventually turns into a "You are an angel that loved me, even while I was the scum of the earth, and now I will change for you!"

Remember, girls cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality and their entertainment must be carefully monitored. If a girl reads a book or plays a game with a jerk in it she will be helplessly attracted to them for the rest of her life. Never let the girls in your life consume potentially harmful media!

Teenagers are impressionable and like it or not not everybody sees through the nonsense, as nice as that would be. If it makes you feel better I also feel that eSports "celebrities" act as horrible, horrible role models to young men for similar reasons, it's all just incentive to make poor decisions lauded as "the right thing to do."

Obviously I'm not advocating censoring what media is and isn't okay to consume but having garbage like this around as an "ordinary" relationship trope is pretty hosed up.

But enough of this segue- thank god our Siren is telling that rear end in a top hat where to go and how to get there :hellyeah:

The word "hate" is feeling really weak right now. I understand the whole bad-boy-fixer-upper trope in other genres: Redemption can be a pretty powerful storytelling theme, after all. However, if you're going to write something like that, the rear end in a top hat in question needs to realize they're an rear end in a top hat, work to redeem themselves, and earn their happy ending. If they don't work for it, then giving them a happy ending anyway is unreasonable.

If the guy can't redeem himself in the context of his own redemption story, then what the gently caress's the point?

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

Sounds like quite the spectacular failure, based on that synopsis, as Tarou seems less like a fixer-upper and more like a villain in a Lifetime original movie. I could see it being a clever parody of the cliché, but that doesn't seem tonally consistent with the rest of the game.

Tokimemo Girl's Side 2, Chapter 12: Being the hunted one is no fun

Holy crap, it's been almost a full month since my last post. Tomorrow night I leave for a two-week vacation, so I'm forcing myself to post this so that I don't go an entire calendar month without posting. September 8th marks 6 months since the event that led me to post less often, so I'll try and use that landmark to rededicate myself to finishing TMGS2, then moving on with the series.

3/19: Oh yeah, Masaki is a character in this game


*ring*
Siren: (Hmm? Who's calling?)
Siren: Hello?
Masaki: Hey, it's me, Masaki.
Siren: Oh, hi Masaki-senpai. What's up?
Masaki: Hey, you doing anything on Sunday?
Siren: I don't have any plans.
Masaki: Cool, wanna go to the mall?
Siren: Yeah, I do!
Masaki: Ooh, that's what I like to hear.
Masaki: You're a great kid, you know that?

I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to make this line not-creepy, and I think I failed. Sorry, Masaki.

Siren: Let's meet up at Habataki station, okay?
Masaki: I'll try not to mess up.
Siren: (Masaki-senpai asked me out on a date!)

As a note, this is pretty much how Masaki's route goes. It's... not very interesting, to be quite honest.

3/22: A wild teacher appears among the flowers


Wakaoji: Fudou-san.
Siren: Welcome to our shop, Wakaoji-sensei!
Wakaoji: Oh, that's right, you work at the florist. Are you working hard?
Siren: Yeah, I learn a lot here.
Wakaoji: That's the most important thing.
Wakaoji: You learn how the world works, and you make money hand over fist.
Wakaoji: It's two birds with stone!
Siren: Wakaoji-sensei, how much do you think this job actually pays?

3/25: Date with Masaki


Masaki: Crap, sorry. You must've been waiting for a while.
Siren: No, I just got here myself. Are... are you okay?
Masaki: Yeah... I was up all night writing a report, though.
Siren: Things don't get any easier in college, do they.
Masaki: Not really, no...
Masaki: Ugh, I'm fading fast.
Masaki: Sorry, I need some coffee bad. I'll treat you to one too.
Siren: Okay.
Masaki: And if there's anywhere here you want to hit next, just let me know.
Siren: Will do.


Masaki: Hey, what do you think of this outfit?
Option 1: Alright, I'll try that one next!
Option 2: Hmm, I dunno...
Option 3: Nah, I'll pass.


Pretty bland choices here, oh well.

Siren: Alright, I'll try that one next!
Masaki: It's pretty different from what you usually wear, but I think it'll work for you.
Siren: (Yay! I made a great impression!)
Masaki: I'm glad I asked you out today. That was a good time.
Masaki: I'll walk you home, it's safer that way.

4/1: Rocking out with Harry


Harry: So, you want to hear my amazing voice?
Harry: Alright, you're getting front row seats to a special show today!


Harry: You brought me here because you wanted to hear me sing something, right?
Harry: I'll let you make one special request.
Option 1: I want to hear your best song, Harry.
Option 2: Let's just put in all the new songs!
Option 3: I want to sing a duet.


The best bet is to appeal to his ego, since it's pretty clearly fragile. As a reminder, this is what Harry looks like after singing:




Siren: I want to hear your best song, Harry.
Harry: Alright, that's song number 55573! We're gonna make this place rock!
Siren: (Yay! I made a great impression!)

Harry: Today was surprisingly fun. I could deal with something like this again.

Harry: I had a lot of fun today!

In my imagination, there is a magic switch somewhere in Harry's spiky hair that turns off his bullshit and lets him act like a regular teenage boy, and Siren just found it.

4/4: Second year begins with warning sirens


Siren: (Our second year starts today. I wonder who our new homeroom teacher is?)
Siren: (Oh, here he comes!)
Wakaoji: Good morning, class. My name is Wakaoji Takafumi, and I'll be your homeroom teacher.
Wakaoji: Did any of you accidentally walk into last year's classroom? Because I sure did.
Siren: (So we have Wakaoji-sensei again.)


Siren: Time to head home.
Siren: Oh, it's raining. I'm glad I brought an umbrella just in case.
Siren: ...hmmm?
???: I wish it would stop raining soon.
Siren: (Does he not have his own umbrella? Well then!)
Siren: Hello there.
???: Huh? Uh, hello.
Siren: I'm walking to the train station. Want to share this umbrella?


???: Really? Thank you so much!


Siren: It's kinda lame that the opening ceremony was ruined by rain, though.
???: Yeah... but I think it was pretty lucky, too.
Siren: Why's that?
???: If it didn't rain, then I wouldn't have had this chance to talk to you, senpai.
???: I'm so glad I chose this school. Thanks to that, I got to meet a wonderful person like you.
Siren: Ahahaha, you're going way overboard.


???: Thank you. I can take care of myself from here.
Siren: My name's Fudou Siren. What's yours?
Shota: My name is Amachi Shota. Thank you so much, Fudou-senpai.
Shota: If you see me around at school, please stop and say hi!
Siren: Of course.
Shota: I should go. Thank you again.
Siren: (Amachi-kun? What a polite kid.)

4/5: This year's hallway interlude


Siren: Hey, what're Onoda-san and Haruhi-chan doing?
Chiyomi: Hey! Nishimoto-san, please finish cleaning up before you run off.
Haruhi: Ahahaha, I'll do it later. Lemme off the hook just this once!


Chiyomi: I can't believe you!
Siren: (Onoda-san sure has it rough sometimes.)

4/8: New mail from Haruhi


From: Haruhi
Re: Must be nice...

I wanted ta be in Waka-chan's class too!

It ain't fair that ya get ta go on all those fun field trips!

Next time, I'm sneakin' my way in! And you're gonna help me.

I ain't takin' no for an answer!

Haruhi

4/8: The field trip, minus Haruhi


Wakaoji: Now, class, where shall we go tod--
Wakaoji: The boat tour is open?! Let's go there!
Siren: Sensei, you should probably ask everyone what they want to do.
Wakaoji: You're right. That's unprofessional.
Wakaoji: So, let's put it to a vote.
Wakaoji: And your vote's for the boats, right?


Option 1: Vote for a walk on the coast
Option 2: Vote for the Bayside Bridge observation deck
Option 3: Vote for the boat tour


Amazingly, Siren's vote actually does determine where the field trip goes. Anything other than the boat feels like a disappointment, though.

Wakaoji: The majority rules! To the boats!
Wakaoji: Alright, everyone, race you to the boarding dock!


Wakaoji: Sailing is so nice. I should come back to this soon.
Option 1: Do you love traveling?
Option 2: What? You're leaving us?
Option 3: I'd love to go on a luxury cruise.



Siren: What? You're leaving us?
Wakaoji: I'm not going right now. My students are very important to me.
Wakaoji: Were you worried?
Siren: (Yay! I made a great impression!)

4/10: Ego-stroking in the hallway


Harry: Sup, Ren?
Siren: Sup yourself, Harry?
Harry: Hey, you know some guy named Amachi?
Siren: I do. Actually, I think he's right over there.


Harry: That punk surrounded by girls? What a freakin'...
Harry: Hey, Amachi!
Amachi: I'm sorry, ladies, I have to go. Someone's calling me.


Amachi: Yes?
Amachi: Oh, hi, Fudou-senpai.
Harry: I'm the one you should be talking to.
Harry: I got some questions for you. Were you in the music roo--


Amachi: Oh, hi, Hariya-senpai.
Harry: Wait, you know who I am?
Amachi: Of course I do. You're a celebrity!
Harry: Seriously? Man, you should tell me this stuff!
Harry: Alright, if you want it so much, I'll give you an autograph! C'mere!


Harry: By the way, call me Harry-senpai.
Amachi: I will, Harry-senpai!
Siren: (Wasn't Harry going to talk to Amachi-kun about something?)

4/20: Hanging with Haruhi


Haruhi: Hiyadoin' Ren?
Siren: Hey Haruhi, wanna stop by a cafe on the way home?
Haruhi: I been waitin' for ya ta say that! We gotta take on the Miracle Jumbo Parfait today!
Siren: Miracle Jumbo what?
Haruhi: I ain't never finished one on my own! So ya gotta help me.
Siren: Wait, what?
Haruhi: So let's get movin'!
Siren: Uh, okay?


Siren: Say, Haruhi-chan...
Haruhi: Yuh-huh?
Siren: Do you know what you wanna be when you grow up?
Haruhi: Uh... well... kinda.
Siren: Really? What is it?
Haruhi: Don't worry 'bout it, it ain't very interestin'.
Haruhi: Super borin', ya wouldn't wanna hear it.


Siren: I really do wanna hear it.
Haruhi: I... I wanna get married...
Siren: What was that? I couldn't hear you.
Haruhi: Ah, it's nothin'! Nothin' at all, I'll just keep it to myself after all.
Haruhi: Maybe I'll tell ya some other time!
Siren: (Hmm... I wonder what she said?)

Next time: You got what I need

So are you gonna tell Haruhi where the "Real Person" setting switch on Harry is, or what?

"There's your problem, you had him set to boy band."

You know, that's like the third love interest I can think of in an otome game that's younger than the protag and named 'shota'.

Yes, I get the joke, but why is it that common?
