If you think it's the best way to present the series, then I'm fine with doing Tokimemo 4 last, chronology or no.

I'd go with Teru, honestly. The way he gets all huffy when his dad shuts down his plans is kind of adorable.

There were the odd Wiccans in middle school though they tend to drop the overt witchiness once they realized magic didn't work like it did in The Craft

Magic's all fun and games until you accidentally summon Andras.

I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that noone will have an ending as amazing as Serika's. It wasn't easy.

All this talk about Teru made me want to see his route, so I finally caved.

I'm not even done yet but the first birthday present he gives you is a capybara stuffed animal holy poo poo :kimchi: Teru confirmed for best boy

VOTING FOR TERU.

The text in the fan translation isn't really clear, but IIRC the reason he gives you that is because he thinks that your character looks like/is like a capybara. Weird, but you know, still cute! I'm pretty sure he mentions something to that effect on a Zoo date. So, you know, a love story between trolls.

Capybaras spend most of their lives in the water!

Ya know!

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!"
Yeech.

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?

As much as I like Teru, I'd skip it if it meant Tarou would be my brother in law. So, I'm closing my eyes and pretending the evil twin theory never happened.
