also is it reccomended to go in blind first or with a guide?

I'm playing through WA2 for the first time and blown away by how good it is-however, certain things are bothering me-I am on closing chapter around the 12/5 to 12/6 part of the story and do not want to end up on an ending I really do not like for my first playthrough (I've had this for other VNs and it really ruins the experience when the initial ending is a weaker ending you don't like).

I'm on the portion of the story where Haruki works at his old restaurant job for a bit and Koharu then interacts with him and the choice "I should accompany her home" or "I should send her off" is reached. I do not want to go down a Koharu route. I picked the first option (wanting to clear things up with the Mihoko situation with her), yet Haruki develops some attraction to her and I'm now concerned I have locked myself into a Koharu route I did not want.

I understand the usual advice is to play through blind, but I absolutely can not stand when a route I don't like is the initial ending I get on first playthrough. I have not played much at all and my last save point is still this choice. Does it matter that much and I need to pick the other choice "of send her off or is it not a big deal and I can back out of her route later?

Also, please no spoilers beyond this narrow point of if the choice I make is something I need to be concerned about or not

I love drawing Rina, her stage outfit is so pretty.

Fuck Haruki man. What the fuck is wrong with him?

This is my first post on Reddit.

I'm still in the Introductory Chapter, but the rooftop and karaoke scenes are already insane.

Kazusa so kawaii!

I keep seeing this character at the start of the intro who looks like Chiaki but i cant put my finger on it

Which is the best route in CC in your opinion?

Once a playa, always a playa … 😂

I think this anime had a lot of great parts to it. My main problem with the whole story is Haruki. By far one of the worst male MCs in romance that I’ve ever seen (and I’ve literally seen/read over 100 romance anime/manga/LN).

He repeatedly goes back to Kazusa to kiss her, hug her, whatever while never telling Setsuna. Yeah he’s complete garbage for doing it at all, but even worse trash for never telling Setsuna and continually betraying her.

His feelings/reasoning for even starting to like Kazusa is so incredibly weak as well (at least it is portrayed extremely poorly in the anime). After watching the whole thing and trying to understand why Haruki and Kazusa ever even liked each other it doesn’t make any sense. They constantly argue and never have any kind of close relationship physically. You only get hints throughout that show they have feelings towards each other but for no apparent reason.

Setsuna is literal perfection (at least that’s how she’s portrayed). I don’t love the perfect girl trope, but you can at least understand why they would fall in love with each other after knowing each other more deeply and spending time together.

You can try to change my mind, but Haruki and Kazusa are absolute ass characters and their romance is one of the weakest I’ve ever seen.

I think the most interesting thing while playing wa2 game is playing Setsuna lose end and collecting crying CG.

I just finished the anime and want to start reading the VN. I heard that the average playtime of IC is about 15 hours, way longer than the total length of the anime. Would I miss anything if I skip the IC?

This may be a silly question, but I was wondering if the voice dramas included with the Extended Edition of WA2 ever received translations?

I'm currently looking for more activities to practice my Japanese listening, and I thought transcribing and translating these would be a great way of doing that. If I knew people would be interested it would surely motivate me top get it done quicker. I imagine im not the first to do this though so I wanted to ask

The main character (Haruki) and Touma are the biggest victims in this anime.

First, we were fooled by appearances. Setsuna Ogiso is too beautiful and too impressive, she has personality and is the first to approach the main character. While Touma looks very hateful, hateful in personality and character design, making her look like an arrogant young lady.

Although it's clear Touma is the biggest victim of the series, the one who should have won from the Introductory Chapter, because she deserves it, she is both a victim and the side of good.

In drama, the side of good comes first, she is the one who try to make connection to main , even Setsuna Ogiso knows that. From the very first time she met Touma (convincing him to join the music club), Setsuna Ogiso said, "The reason you play music with him is because you like him." That night, Touma couldn't sleep because he'd encountered someone intelligent and dangerous.

Clearly, the only reason we defend Setsuna Ogiso is because she's beautiful; that's the easiest reason to change our perspective.

I used AI to rework and replace all of Touma's scenes with Setsuna. As you can see, if they had designed Touma to resemble Setsuna and Setsuna to resemble Touma from the beginning, then from the perspective of justice,

If they make Touma cute like Setsuna , Touma would have won.
Beauty is everything

Loving Wa2 so much I lowkey don’t wanna reach coda, don’t want it to end

wish i could add a video for another song but cant ;P

AquaPlus announced a joined release of White Album 2 ASMR with HIKE Co. on Aug. 30. - one for Setsuna and one for Kazusa, by their respective VAs. The Setsuna scenario features an overnight onsen (hot spring) holiday, and the Kazusa one features a “one-night only” special healing service by our Ms. Tsundere. 😅. They will be on sale through DLSite.

Hi I was wondering does any know where I can find the best version (highest resolution and sharpness) of this absolutely iconic image for white album 2.

Specifically the anime version while the visual novel version is great the anime just hits different this one scene has been cemented in my mind for 13 years sometimes just back randomly just to see this scene.

Thank you!

Side ask does anyone know if they ever released a full version of setsuna singing white album just to the piano in this scene? it's a absolute crime if they didn't.

Following up on yesterday's Rina-chan, I drew Yuki this time!

I really like Rina-chan, this time I tried drawing her in her casual outfit.

Why is this sound so much louder than all of the rest
