Oh well, this is my web page so I would put what I want, reading it or not is your own desire. You can consider the first part as a review of this game, but watch out! I may spoil some scenes at the end, so don't read it if you haven't play this game yet. First of all, I love this game! It completelly drag me into this drama and make me feel like I am really the main character in this game. The anime is certainly the best I have ever seen. The music tone is perfect in the game, it fits each situation nicely. For example, when you first meet Mayu, you get a nice piano version of he main theme (of course, she is the heroine in this game!) Then, at the end where Tomoko find out you are hiding Mayu, the music tone change to scary with well lightling sound effect. The ending sound is very good too, in my opinion, I feel it is better than the one in Double Cast. The next thing I like is the voice actor/actresses in this game. Remember the scene where Tomoko finds out about Mayu and her angry explode? I must say because of the effort the actresses put in, I can really feel Tomoko angry and the pain Mayu suffers. I also like the story a lot, although I was a little disappointed at the end (I will explain later), but this is one of the story that I will never forget. Here are some complain I heard on the net, they are true to some extance, but not completely true. I will try to explain each of them: "It is too short! I finished it in two hours!" My argument: "Well, I will give you 4,800yen and why don't you try to buy any anime that is over an hour? This is true, Japanese aninamation is very expensive. A 45 minutes animation of LD can cost at least 6000yen. Two hours+ of anime in this game for only 4,800yen is an unbelievable price." "But isn't this a 'game'?" My argument: "Okay, I give this to you. There aren't that much gaming factor in this game when all you do is choose option. I do suggest you always do research before buying any games." So, do I belive this game is perfect. No, not really. I do fell there are areas that can be improve. 1. I do think the game is short too. But I know this game definitely reach the limit with only two disc. I am saying I would rather pay double the price for it to become four or five disc. 2. Some of the bad endings are plain lame! Even I like Mayu over Tomoko, but I feel very sorry for slapping Tomoko four times just to get four of the bad endings (she has her revenge because she slap back six times)! I feel the bad endings should be more reasonable. However, these little flaws do exist, but they don't stop this game from being a great game. The Yarudora series is still a big success. Yarudora series do revive the already dead carton/advanture genre. I feel that if the yarudora series do continue, it will easily make some of the best games ever. And I would hope there will be "Kisetsu Wo Dakishimete 2"!! Now, I want to talk about the characters in this game. I feel the characters are all well design in this game just like any other good anime. I like Mayu the most, let's start with her. Mayu I feel attracting to her even before I play this game by looking at pictures of her in game magazine. I feel she is very cute and beautiful. Look in my picture gallery to find her pictures, you'll find lots of good one! Mayu certainly has lots of face, try to play through the game more to find them all! Mayu' s personality is not giving no matter how worst situation is. Just look at the way she search her memory, she constantly trying with or without help. Mayu doesn't have any evil in her mind. When you choose to go the book store with her to find out info about uniform, she will find a book all right...... but it is an adult book. Mayu doesn't feel anything wrong with it. This type of girl is usually consider naive, that's why you must protect her. For strange reason however, she like adult book....... When I say I was disappointed earlier on, I don't mean the game itself. I was disappointed because Mayu is only a fairy. Before I played this game, I already know the general plot of this game. At that point, I thought I would be able to revive her in a good ending, but such thing is impossible. Mayu will disappear no matter how hard you try. I was disappointed but not sad because Mayu was dead even before the game started. Now that she only come back as fairy for a short time and in this short period, she already bring good to you just like a fairy would. Tomoko The girl who cosider herself as your girl friend. Even sometimes she is angry at you, but don't feel she is annoy or anything. If you look at her deeply, you'll find out she is a very cute and good girlfriend. The reason she gets angry is because she is jealous of Mayu. Although not the heroine of this game, but seeing her good ending is still not easy. Sexy lady The character who has no name even you get her good ending. I think she is a nice lady, but maybe because I am more traditional about choosing girl friend who is below your age, I would choose Mayu and Tomoko over her. Strategy- Before I go any further, I must say that I will not give out exactly which option you need to choose to get endings. I don't think that is consider fan. I only will will give hints for each endings and it's up to you find out how to get it yourself. Believe me, you'll be much happier to do something by your own power. To start off, I want to mention a strategy book by V-Jump. This book contain strategy for both "Double Cast" and "Kisetsu Wo Dakishimete" and it only cost 980yen which is very cheap. What I like about this book is that it doesn't give you exactly what option you need to pick, it only show a branch tree. So you'll know certain scene exist, and you'll have to figure out how to get it. General strategy for good ending- There are five in this game. Two for both Mayu and Tomoko, one for sexy lady. The key with good ending is to see if you meet the requirement for that character and what you choose to do at the end. For example, when Mayu run away, you have to choose which way you want to find her: Left or right? Only one of them is right, the other way will result of losing Mayu (not necessary bad ending however). General strategy for Mayu- Even though she is the heroine, seeing her good ending is not hard task at all! I got her good ending the very first time I played this game! You'll always see Mayu no matter how hard you try to avoid her. She will always love you, the difference is how much she love you, normally or deeply. The major key with Mayu good ending is FLOWER. You will have two chances in the game to pick up a pedal of the sakura flower. You will need this pedal for both of her good endings. Then, you will always go to the path where a guy break a sakura tree. In that scene, you'll be able to see how much Mayu love you. If you get the option to save Mayu that mean she love you very much. General strategy for Tomoko- Tomoko's good ending are harder than Mayu, not that she doesn't love you as much. The first key with Tomoko is declare your love as soon as possible. Try to help Mayu, but not love her. The second key is tail key holder, it will play critical role with Tomoko. General strategy for sexy lady- She is more like a secret character in this game. Notice that you only have a chance with her after the second time you play through this game. There only two important points for her, first is you need to choose search Mayu at the first night, then you should see sexy lady while searching for Mayu. Then the next day at work, choose to date Tomoko. On Saturday, you'll feel confuse between Mayu and Tomoko, you should choose go home and you'll see sexy lady again. From that point on, it only a matter of choosing the right option to see her ending. Days walkthrough- In this section, I will attempt to break each section down and explain the branch system and how your decision will affect later in the game. Notice that there are more choices you can make the second time you play. The explainination is included the extra choices. Instead of breaking down each section into days, I feel it is easier to use each save point as a chapter. Here is the list for each chapter: Chapter 0 - The begining chapter where you start out walking with Tomoko and discover Mayu Chapter 1 - At night where you are still working Chapter 2 - At college Chapter 3 - On Saturday where you will see either Tomoko or Mayu Chapter 3a - A sub chapter if you choose to invite Mayu to stay over night Chapter 4 - On Monday in college, Mayu will always stay in your home this night Chapter 5 - A small chapter where you leave home to college and see Tomoko Chapter 6 - The climax of this game with huge mutiple branch Chapter 7 - Kind of like a secret chapter, it only happen in Mayu second ending Chapter 0- At the begining when you walk with Tomoko, her feeling would not change even if you deny she is your girl-friend. Then when you see the Sakura tree you have to make a choices that will determine rather you can see Mayu second ending or not. If you want to see Mayu second ending, choose "ghost". Chapter 1- You will always see Mayu no matter what you do at the begining. At the end when see Tomoko, this is a huge moment. Never slap her unless you are going after one of those four bad ending. Mayu will disappear at the end no matter what you choose. If you like Mayu, try not to let her run off however. Notice that you can skip this scene some time, but that is not good if you are after Tomoko. You can impress Tomoko by telling the truth and she will accept your apology Chapter 2- In the begining, Tomoko will cover your eyes. Answer "It's Tomoko!" to impress her. When you are at work, you can choose date Tomoko by trying avoid answerning when your uncle say Tomoko is your girl-friend. Notice that even you choose to date Tomoko, you can still avoid the date by not approach her, but that will mean you can't see Tomoko's good ending. Chapter 3- Normally, you will go to "Four seaon" tea shop. When you are there, you will be able to choose date with Tomoko? Or help/meet Mayu? When you choose Tomoko, try to impress her by saying "I was silent because you are beautiful." Then later under the sakura tree, if she want to kiss you, that mean
