Why can’t this be Sawako route?

 

[quagzlor]

damn man. Sawako's backstory reminds me of my home life. basically why i want to be fully independent and away from my family

 

[Pandawanka]

Kinda weird that Sawako is so heavily featured in Ogata's route... Missed development. Or did the author already get all of Ogata's development out of the way in the regular canon route?

Do take note that pantyshots in this manga are extremely rare. I think there have been two so far.

@Talismaster
Exactly how I feel!
I actually really like Sawako, but since it's part of Ogatas route it kind of ruins the experience for me.

 

[pokefairy]

Man I wish Sawako X Ogata was a real option here because Sawako is pretty much in love with Rizu anyway.

Still on the fence about the multiple endings deal but I actually like this story arc

 

[LordoftheKeep]

plot development that was missing during the entire run now crammed into the end...

 

[LordoftheKeep]

@pokefairy the multiple endings is probably to squeeze out an extra few volumes...one per character maybe

 

[larcek]

gosh darn'it, why does Uruka only get such a short epilogue and here we are on Ogata Route Deluxe...

but yeah, i guess you'd need 10 Chapters or so to implement Romance Development that didn't happen before...

im confused why does Sawako spend the school day at the nurse office? or whats that panel implying?

 

[MoonHermit]

@Pandawanka Yeah, Rizu's development regarding her most serious issues (largely related to her previously low ability to understand emotions and lack of expressions) was mostly finished in the regular route (though all 5 routes are parallel ones, each one just as valid as the others). Sawako being featured here has to do with expanding upon Rizu's progress in developing a bigger sense of empathy, understanding how someone else feels and trying to help them. Just because it's the "Rizu Route" ending doesn't mean it has to be entirely focused on her alone, right? While the following routes haven't been released yet, we can't be sure, but I assume not all of their chapters will be solely about their respective girls, to add variety and acknowledge events outside of the essential ones (which would explain how each ending came to differ from the others).

@Yuukecchi She didn't feel comfortable being in (middle) school because all of her (middle school) classmates shunned her for being "too smart". While she probably did attend lessons and/or study properly, I assume most other times she would choose to stay at the nurse's office, a safe place she could easily go to (the only one, really, emotionally speaking) by telling the teacher she wasn't feeling well.

@MoonHermit coming in with the explanations

 

[justforthelulz]

I like that Sawako's initial reaction to an accidental panty flash courtesy of her own mother isn't embarrassment that she's exposed to Rizu/Yuiga, but concern about the food.

@MoonHermit Cheers to a level headed person with a good explanation!
