To Heart 2: March 16

(Street)

Konomi with the dog… and dog food?

(Gate)
I asked why Konomi is here.

“Umm… I thought about what you are doing…”

“There’s nothing wrong in going here.”

She was walking Genjimaru.

(Streets)
She called Charu and Yochie, and they seem to be busy with something. Maybe packing up for their transfer/moving out.

She’s quite bored.

“It’s already spring break, and yet…”

Anyway I guess we will go home together… which means:

image
“YAY!”

She talks about Charu and Yochie.

Apparently her friends invited her to the other school they are supposed to transfer in (which seems to be a temple… Chie and Michiru are going to be priestesses?), but it seems it’s some private school and so money is needed.

image
Now it seems like Takaki is suggesting a dance party… farewell party?

Konomi can do folk dance…

“Something about that?”

To Heart 2 Review (Part 2)

Review Coverage: March 7 to March 13

This week seems to be composed of days where nothing much has happened, but towards the end some heartwarming stories are abound.

Okay, here’s when I discover that indeed, Konomi is in junior high. In Japan, this seems to be the precursor to high school. It’s quite different with our own educational system, so that left me a bit confused. Konomi is also graduating on March 12, that is a Friday.

March 7
An earthquake happened. If this were to be the Sunday when Takaki and Konomi were supposed to go to an amusement park, I guess it’s obviously cancelled now.

March 8
Konomi and Takaki were talking about the quake maybe. Konomi turned superstitious by giving him a lucky item, a blue keyholder. At lunch, Yuji talks about useless crap again, but this seems to be interesting this time… because he seems to be describing a certain “maid robot” that has graced the grounds of their school years ago. Apparently it’s due to research and data acquisition that this maid robot is placed in the school, and the data served as the basis for the new models of maid robots for today. Well what do you know? It sounds like an oh too familiar story of HMX-12 Multi!

Going home, Konomi caught up with Takaki by running wildly. Takaki seems to be stubborn and didn’t worry about Konomi’s health too much. Also, Konomi made some mistake I’m not sure of, which may make her mother angry. Takaki said that they’ll apologize together, and so they did. At Konomi’s home, her mother scolded her a bit, but for telling the truth, she forgives her. The mother she also invited Takaki to eat dinner together.

March 9
That morning, Konomi’s mother gave Takaki more food. She seems to be caring a lot more about Takaki than her own daughter, and it made Konomi a bit jealous. You may think that their relationship is a bit weird, but on the contrary, it’s very strong. That’s why the mother is teasing her daughter so many times.

March 10
Konomi seems to have a little cold, but it’s okay I guess.

March 11
Konomi woke up late again. She tries to catch up to Takaki. Anyway after class, they go home together. On the way, Konomi talks about her graduating junior high. Tomorrow is graduation day, and so she may be going home late. She’s saying this in a somewhat somber tone. Konomi asked Takaki if they could still go home together tomorrow. Takaki promised to wait for her even in late afternoon. Konomi was happy with this, to the point that she got dizzy a bit because she’s jumping around like crazy.

March 12
This is quite an important day for Konomi. It’s graduation time, so we know what that means… Anyway in the morning Konomi reminded Takaki of the promise. And so after class, Takaki went to the junior high school. He waited until late afternoon, when Konomi appeared. Yup, graduation is the time for goodbyes. A classmate greeted Konomi goodbye, in a seemingly crying tone. Konomi told Takaki about how much fun school is, and she’s can’t believe it’s over.

Chie and Michiru will be in another school after graduation. Apparently, Konomi won’t see her two friends anytime soon, and the fun times at school will be over, and so she starts to cry. I suggest you guys read the dialogue in the [March 12->To Heart 2: March 12] entry. If this were in anime form I would be definitely touched. This is IMO the best event in To Heart 2 so far.

March 13
While yesterday seemes sad we see Konomi now recovering. She walks around with her dog named Genjimaru. Takaki joined them for a bit before going to school. At school, Yuji talks about going home together (yuk). Outside, they seem to have a man-to-man talk about getting a girl. Takaki has no girlfriend yet, and Yuji doesn’t seem to like that (YUK!) Yuji also told some things about her elder sister again. Yuji really is quite annoyed at her elder sister.

At home, we seem to hear noises as if there is someone in Takaki’s house! A thief? Takaki quickly turned on the light, and the thief escaped and ran.

And so the second week of To Heart 2 has passed. The week may be quite short, but it comes with a heartwarming scene about graduation, friendships and goodbyes. This may seem like a relatively simple plot, but in real life, it’s really hard to say goodbye. This game really reflects about our real lives.

To Heart 2: March 13

(My house)
image
Konomi greets me good morning.

She’s walking her dog (Genjimaru)

image
“I love walking my dog”.

(Streets)
I guess we’re walking together with the dog.

(Park)
“Let’s walk a bit more”

“What’s wrong Genjimaru?”

Genjimaru seems tired.

I have to go now. I say goodbye to them.

(After class)
Yuji will come home with me (yuk)

(Streets)
“Have you got a girl you like already?”

Obviously not yet.

image
“It’s troubling if you don’t find a girl anytime soon.”

Yea as if.

Some talk about his aneki again.

(Home)
(Hmm… I can’t read the text but it sounds like)

A thief? I hear noises…

I turned on the light and… the thief ran away I guess..

To Heart 2: March 12

(Konomi’s house)
“Good morning”

Mother teases Konomi again.

“mou~”

(Outside)
image
“Umm… Taka-kun, yesterday’s promise, remember?”

“So bye…”

(After class)
Going to Konomi’s school… I remember the promise from yesterday.

(Konomi’s school)
And so I waited until late afternoon.

Konomi appears.

image
“Taka-kun, you came…”

“Umm… Taka-kun…”

Classmate “Konomiii… bye!!!” (in a crying tone)

“Bye bye! See you soon!”

“It feels like yesterday, as if we were just starting…”

“Yup, it was fun”

Konomi wants to go back to the school building…

We hear announcements, well we can’t enter the building anymore I guess…

“I really… had fun…”

image
“Walking to and fro with Taka-kun”

“Being with Charu and Yochie…”

“I thought it would last forever, but now it’s over”

Charu and Yochie seems to either be going to a different high school, or moving away, I’m not sure.

“That’s why today is the last time we’re together”

I asked her to say goodbye to them…

“It’s okay, we said our goodbyes enough”

“Besides… I decided to say bye bye with a smile on my face.”

“Because I never wanted to cry…”

“Going home together… I shouldn’t cry”

“I never wanted to cry…” (she starts crying)

image
“But… it’s okay now isn’t it?”

“It’s okay to cry now, isn’t it?”

Konomi cries a lot, I try to comfort her, as we go home together.

To Heart 2: March 11

(Konomi’s house)
Konomi woke up late again.

image
“Umm… the time…”

“Wait Wait!”

(Gate)
She apparently has cleaning duties for the day, but she reached me on time.

“Nice timing”

(Street)
Hmm… she seems to reflect on how school coming to an end.

image
She’s kinda exhausted studying…

She telling me various stories, well… school memories I guess.

She’s graduating, so she may be late tomorrow.

“That’s why we may not go home together tomorrow.”

“Do you have something to do tomorrow?”

“I was thinking, it’s the last time anyway, if we can go home together tomorrow…”

Choice: It’s okay.

“Really?”

image
“YAY!” (so cute~)

image
“Uhh… my eyes…”

To heart 2: March 9

(Konomi’s house)
Konomi’s mother gave me more food?

image
Konomi is getting jealous because I’ve been given more attention this morning.

They have a very comic relationship.

(After class)
Gone home.

(Home)
Went to bed.

This is annoying. I bet there are short days with no events like this, but there are extremely long days ahead.

To Heart 2: March 8

(Outside)
I’m not quite sure, but it seems that Konomi was worried about me during the quake.

image
Konomi offered to play around somewhere after school, it seems that I declined though.

“Lucky item today is a blue keyholder”

She’s superstitious? Maybe just because of the quake.

“It’s cute isn’t it?”

She gave me the keyholder.

(Lunch)
image
Yuji talks about maid robots again.

Some maid robot helping out at a school…

Huh?? Is she talking about Multi??? Whoa!

(To home)
At the school gate, Konomi doesn’t seem to be there, so I went home myself.

Along the way, Konomi caught up, said she was stuck up with some classmate talk and ran to catch up with me

I seem to be talking along the lines of “you shouldn’t have”.

“That’s not I wanted to hear from you”

“Like, are you tired from running? I’ll buy you juice… something like that”

“The kindness is the point”

(Park)
image
Konomi seems to be forgetting something (to buy)? Mother would be angry…

Choice: Let’s apologize together.

“Taka-kun, thanks”

(Konomi’s house)
Well, her mother scolded Konomi a bit anyway. But for telling the truth, mother forgives her.

Konomi’s mother offered me to eat dinner with them.

Mother “Don’t be shy”

image
“YAY!” (She’s so cute when she does that)

Arrgh, we never see how the dinner went.
