After School Affairs: Hidetaka Sera, Season 2 CGs and Review

*WARNING: mini-spoilers ahead*

Hidetaka kind of pissed me off in the first season... He's manipulative and downright rude sometimes... but season 2 has started off better, I think. While he still uses the MC and can treat her harshly, he's softening up a bit and showing his affection more freely. The antagonist of "Dormitory of Adults" - Rui - absolutely infuriated me! I know they were trying to make her similar to Hidetaka in personality, so having two of them was just pushing my buttons. Overall, it was an engaging story and certainly kept my attention. Just prepare to want to punch the wall or a pillow or something... In the past, I've enjoyed both endings for each character, but I really preferred the amorous ending over the climactic one in this case.

After School Affairs: Rikiya Mononobe, Season 2 CGs and Review

Rikiya has been my least favorite character from this series. That being said, it's rare that I ever find Voltage's first-released characters to ever be that great - mostly because they're usually cocky jerks. Rikiya is a little different from this mold because he is not so much cocky as he is pushy. In the first season, I found him to be more stand-offish but this season his pushiness has definitely come out. In some ways, it's kind of cute because he's breaking the rules because he cares about the MC so much and he gets her to go out and do things and not worry all of the time. On the other hand, someone like this in real life would be unbearable to be with for me... My anxiety couldn't take it...

Now aside from his personality, I did like his Dormitory for Adults story. The conflict might be pretty unrealistic (at least in my experience), but (*spoiler-but-not-really alert) it was cute how he unabashedly proclaims his love for the MC as a result. There was a secret part of me that wanted things to go the opposite way, but I really enjoy thinking about the "what-if" scenarios in these games.

After School Affairs: Kiyonori Taishi, Season 2 CGs and Short Review

I have to admit: Taishi grew on me. From his main story in Season 1, I was not all that impressed, but his two other stories were actually pretty good. He's still a complete dork even in the second season, but that dorkiness is endearing now rather than just kind of creepy. Seeing him branch out more with the students and how he really stands up for the MC in this season got him an "A" in my book!

After School Affairs: Side post - funny moments from NPCs

I have to admit, when I played the prologue of this game, I wasn't every invested in it, so it's been sitting on my iPhone for months while I kept passing over the character's main routes and instead starting side routes in other games. I finally broke down and started playing this game over the weekend, starting with Kenzo Yasukawa, the school nurse (because I'm a nurse!). I have to admit, the routes I played were better than I expected. Without going into too much detail, I have a few funny moments I wanted to share.

(Warning: spoilers [kind of] ahead...)

After School Affairs: Shinichi Kagari, Season 1 CGs

I think Shinichi is my favorite character of the bunch. His route is surprisingly funny (despite his personality being the contrary). Whenever he pushes up his glasses, they flash, and they kept playing on that throughout the route. My favorite moment was when they make an obvious acknowledgment of it:
