#KATAWA SHOUJO SHIZUNE ROUTE FULL#

Misha may not have a lover, but she has two great friends who will be there for her when she needs them, the same way she was there for them when they needed her. Likewise Hisao wants her to be happy, and deeply cares for her. In Katawa Shoujo, Misha eventually learns to accept that while Shizune may not love her the way she would prefer, Shizune does care a lot about her, and wants her to be happy.

#KATAWA SHOUJO SHIZUNE ROUTE FULL#

The world is full of people, plenty of people who are single and are looking for someone to love. It's called Oneitis, and it is like a disease. But thinking like this, pining for someone we can never have because that person is 'The One' is unhealthy and dangerous. Sometimes we meet The One, but that person is already taken, or doesn't see us that way. It's as simple as that.ДЄnd you know what? This is where I take a page from Dr Nerdlove about 'The One.' The One is the person we feel is our soul mate, our other half.

Misha likes women, but Shizune likes men. The Shizune route is the story of how, sometimes, the person we love just doesn't love us back because of reasons beyond our control. And Misha is not the downtrodden friend who gave Shizune her everything only to be relegated to the sidelines once some new guy came by to stick it in Shizune's vagina.

And just because Hisao was the lucky guy to gain Shizune's love, does not make him the asshole that 'stole' Shizune away from Misha. But that does not make Shizune a bitch that just uses Misha only to drop her once Hisao comes along. Is it sad that Shizune didn't return Misha's feelings? Well, yes. Misha's feelings for Shizune are just as real as Hisao's, and the game acknowledges it. It was not just Shizune, it was Misha too. Misha and Shizune are, no matter what route he takes, the first two girls who attempt to make Hisao feel welcome in Yamaku, the ones who try to bring him out of his shell and misery, to embrace his life. When Hisao had his first heart attack, he felt his life was over, and so he acted like a dick to his friends and the people that cared about him, eventually losing everyone but his parents. Hisao, more than anyone, knows the pain of losing friends, because he himself lost his friends when he spent five months in the hospital to treat his arrythmia. When Misha was hurting because she felt it was better that Hisao and Shizune be together with herself out of the picture, Hisao went and showed her the true value of a friend. And Katawa Shoujo illustrates how wonderful Phillia is when Hisao dedicates an entire day to just being with Misha, showing her how much she means to not just Shizune, but to him as well. In the end, what is wrong with Phillia? Friendship is a beautiful thing, it is wonderful. It's how we deal with our attractions that matter.Д«ut just because the people we love do not love us the same way, does not mean they don't love us. Hisao admits he's falling for her at the end of the first act.) We do not control who we are attracted to, it just happens.

(Point of Trivia: Shizune is the girl whom Hisao is quickest to admit he is attracted to. Hisao became attracted to Shizune, and Shizune became attracted to Hisao. Misha was attracted to Shizune, but Shizune was not attracted to Misha. My point is, people are attracted to different kinds of people.ДЄnd just because you are attracted to someone, doesn't mean that person will be attracted to you. Some men find Kim Kardashian to be a loose tooth and would rather date Emma Watson, while some men find Emma Watson to be over rated and would rather date Pam Grier. Some women want a Justin Bieber, while others would prefer a Steve Buscemi. Some people prefer their partners to act a certain way, while others prefer their partners to look a different way. And of course, we have to account to a person's individual tastes. Androphilia is sexual attraction towards men, gynephilia is sexual attraction towards women. Asexuality is an absence of sexual desire, but not an absence for romantic companionship. Sapiosexuality is finding a person's intelligence to be attractive. And of course there is bisexuality that inclines towards homosexuality, and bisexuality that inclines towards heterosexuality. There is, of course, bisexualiy, which is an attraction towards both genders. It is naive to merely say that everyone is either straight or gay and be done with it. Human sexuality is a complex subject, much more than we credit it to be.
