Don't forget to read these short stories, they are quite essential for understanding all the characters.

Anyone think Setsuna totally steals this song from Yuki?

Good shout

So, I feel I woefully laid out instructions to installing the VN, all I'll say is if anyone neeeds helpat any step post here and we'll see what I and others can do to help.

>long awaited

Happy birthday, Setsuna. Even though I love Kazusa, I can't help but admire Setsuna too.

Yeah, I'm a Kazusa guy too but I think I'll post all Setsuna pics for a while.

honestly good to see you back. :3

And as good as the Kazusa Vocal tracks are in the OP, she can't touch Setsuna on vocals.

nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=885021
This was just the most heartwarming thing I've heard. Hearing Kazusa happy in love really melts my heart.

reminder that Setsuna lost.

Happy birthday.

>tfw can't understand nip

Onething I liked about the VN so far, the bit where Kazusa was all serious about how she wouldn't let Haruki fuck up the Sound of Destiny solo under her tutelage and that she had faith in him, was REALLY touching.

No kissing or hugging or declaration of love, just being there for him, believing in him and absolutely refusing to let him fail.

Also that episode was adorable.

Everyone lost.

You know, a love triangle that ends with both girls getting together and leaving the male MC with nothing is an idea that should be explored.

If you're not a /u/fag, you should still want this for the shitposting that would ensure.

>tfw can't understand nip
Just listen to the last two minutes. You don't need to understand nip to feel it.
>Onething I liked about the VN so far, the bit where Kazusa was all serious about how she wouldn't let Haruki fuck up the Sound of Destiny solo under her tutelage and that she had faith in him, was REALLY touching.
Well, the adaptation handled the first half pretty good.

He should've just married them both, would've saved a world of a melodramatic headache

Well, one thing I think that sets this apart from most other love triangles is that Kazusa's and Setsuna's relationship is just as important as how they felt about the boy in the traingle.

It doesn't work like that and you know it.

Word on the last thread was that the ultimate ending was Haruki marries Kazusa in the room she first kissed him in, the Piano room.

It sounded fucking amazing.

Yep, their friendship is a real thing. These four months they were together would influence their lives for the next six years at least.
>Why does someone who knows nothing talk about just me and Haruki-kun?
>Why does someone who doesn't know about us three talk about us two?

5 fucking times? I must be old because I'd have to wait ages to do that.

This is important, it explains a lot of Setsuna's actions and thought processes and also why Kazusa couldn't be with HAruki nom atter what, Setsuna was like a sister to her.

Marriage does happen in both Setsuna True and Kazusa True, but he most certainly meant something like 'why not both', which would never work.

I have a question about the VN.

The options at the top are all japanese, do any of them enable auto-read like VN does automatically at certain points?

And what is that white tag icon that keeps popping up on the lower left.

Also, I can't now but tomorrow I shouldb e able to seed allthe torrentsi n the OP if anyone is struggling.

She has the look of a woman who was once a young girl that never dreamed anyone could lover her this much after her mum left her, that expression just screams 'we'veb een through so much'

I really really love that ending for Kazusa.

>setsuna thread

>5 fucking times?
He had a hard time in that onsen, seeing both girls naked (and a little bit drunk), sleeping in the next room and longing for both of them.

Kazusa is best girl. But so is Setsuna.

Damn.

>do any of them enable auto-read like VN does automatically at certain points?
No, you can enable auto-read in settings menu.
>And what is that white tag icon that keeps popping up on the lower left.
Dunno.

Doesn't that just set the speed of the auto read itself? If not, how do I turn it on' I don't see that option anywhere.

Aren't there like, 3 new heroines in the CC part of the VN? Are they any good? Feels weird to be able to not go with either Setsuna or Kazusa.

I take it the point was to show the reader a 'What if Haruki didn't hurt either of them' scenario?

>She has the look of a woman who was once a young girl that never dreamed anyone could lover her this much after her mum left her, that expression just screams 'we'veb een through so much'
She literally spent 5 years in Europe only playing piano so that Haruki would once hear it. He is the only thing she needs to be happy.

Switch Skip Mode to All.

I love this fucking series, this is why only watching the anime doesn't cut it anymore.

>Are they any good?
They are all great characters.
But only choosing Setsuna gets you to Coda.

Is Touma in CC at all?

No. She is still an important part of CC though.

This is exactly the reason why so many people learn nihongo to read CC and Coda. Even though this story sometimes hurts so much, I'm still attracted to it and I can't explain why.

web.archive.org/web/20160419160331/http://mdzanime.me/2013/12/29/white-album-2-concluding-chapter-coda-rough-summary/comment-page-11/#comment-33648
CC and Coda spoilers. Beware.

Setsuna was best girl. There, I said it.

Kazusa was one. Fight me.

...

Tomo is best girl.

She was quite a bro actually.

/r/ing Setsuna 2.0 getting NTR'd.

You mean Yui or what?

Who Setsuna here

Pretty much everyone. Being Kazusafag doesn't stop you from liking Setsuna too.

...

Yes.

I love the way she dresses.

She is a poor version of Setsuna though. She is just a dumb kind girl with good social skills, while Setsuna is a tactical genius, an angel and a devil in one person.
baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=White_Album_2_Omake/Story02
Just appreciate her way of thinking.

I liked her Closing and White Album versions. Powder Snow is terrible though.

What is white album never heard of it?

It's a shame that adaptation ignored all those remarks. It made Setsuna look plainer and the viewer couldn't understand what Haruki was thinking.

I don't like WA 1 version of this song at all. So, yeah.

She made Setsuna route for me in CC. Great girl, right.

I've never seen WA1.

Is the difference in quality between it and WA2 so large?

Setsuna's birthday was Valentine's Day? I never knew

Depends on the route
But it's true

All that teasing from Setsuna was great.

It's a matter of taste, actually. There is people who love WA1.
But WA1 is a harem with very vague ending, so i don't really like it.

>Is the difference in quality between it and WA2 so large?
WA2 is a beautiful love story. WA1 is like School Days without headcutting and stuff.

twitter.com/wa2_anime

I nearly got a heart attack when they retweeted that Nakamura's post today after years of inactivity.

Also happy birthday, Setsuna. You're the best.

Why did they suddenly decide to post it? There already have been 3 Setsuna's birthdays since anime aired.

There's been surprisingly much WA2 activity recently. Mini Drama, Kazusa vocal collection, now this Coda novel. What did they mean by this?

>sou da na...sou da na~
My fucking kokoro.

Just a reminder that Setsuna was betrayed on her birthday. Twice.

Maybe it's time to adapt CC+Coda, once the director is done with Kuzu no Honkai.

I'm sure it's not happening. But it doesn't prevent me from hoping.

>feel free to come here to say something nice about Setsuna and wish her a happy birthday
I hope her family disowns her and the rest of the world sees what a horrible person she really is. She manipulated & exploited her closest friends making them waste the best years of their life in anguish.

Toradora > WA2

Who exactly did she manipulate?

at least compare it to oregairu or something

Her mother foresaw it!

Still better girl than your waifu

I fucking hate Setsuna. I'm happy that shit happened to her.

It's because you are anime-only.

How faithful is this translation and how far is it translated?

I'm anime only for now too and I love her. But she deserves better boyfriend.

>implying I'll spend even more time reading about the cluster fuck melodramatic love triangle of a shitty MC
It was hard finishing the series especially the setsuna arc. I finished it because it's partly recommended and at the last episodes for Kazusa. I'd rather watch Yahari since it's the same shit but more comedic.

>How faithful is this translation
IC translation is alright. Setsuna route of CC translation is really bad.
> and how far is it translated?
Intro chapter is fully translated. Closing Chapter: common route and Setsuna route fully translated.
The translation is advancing at horribly low rate, like 5 lines per two weeks. It's safe to say that at this rate you would learn nihongo faster.

They bring out the worst out of each other. It doesn't help his friends are a bunch of bitches except for sideburns bro.
>WHAT DID YOU SAY SIDEBURNS ABOUT LIKING KAZUSA INSTEAD OF SETSUNA? YOU DON'T SAY THAT STUFF MAN
>d-don't do that y-you already have setsuna. don't be like me the super popular guy
Fucking eggshells man. If they were actually good friends he would've supported his decision regardless, suggest alternatives, and consulted with the two girls. It wouldn't have ended in such a mess. But no, they decide to get pissed at him for even trying to question his decisions.

They are also Setsuna's friends though. They support her. And they are really great friends.

I'd just remind that even Takeya the Womanizer rejects the girl the second she badmouths Haruki for no reason.

...

No, they're you're typical Anime friend. No sense of actual camaraderie just cheesy moment pushed in to show they're friends. The very same friends who becomes suddenly antagonistic when you make a bad decision. Examples of good display of friendship is Youjohan and Tari tari.

Anyways, even if they do support Setsuna, they never really consulted the MC about what he actually wants. They fucking lash out at him talking about or thinking of it. As if the concept of breaking up didn't and shouldn't even exist. I count three times that happened and I watched it this week. It's one-sided and there's no room for discussion. I think the MC is a dumbass for not breaking things up for a breather. But then I realize people surrounding him are pinning him down with their "support" for both parties and shooting him down whenever he tries to weigh his feelings.

That's exactly because you're anime-only you don't understand a thing about Haruki.

>The very same friends who becomes suddenly antagonistic when you make a bad decision.
They never were antagonistic.

Happy birthday, Setsuna.

If an adaptation can't give you a substantial glimpse of his character then he isn't worth shit in the first place. Shirou is from a shitty VN but you can determine how fucked up he is by the end of a cour. Sure it's not deep but it's not some empty slate who's only noteworthy characteristic is "I'm an indecisive guy who likes to nag at people because I'm a responsible former class rep" and ends there.

He is not indecisive though.

#deathtoSetsuna2017

This novel is really made for reading several times. She actually WOULD always look for Haruki's seat during her concerts.

happy birthday, Satsuna!

Haruki: "What are you doing? do you know what time is it?"
Kazusa: "... what happened to your face?"
Haruki: "Answer my question first, I was the first to make one."
Kasuza: "...I was waiting for you in your room, and because you were pretty late in coming back, and your phone was turned off..."
Haruki: "Ah, I turned it off, sorry"
Kazusa: "I decided to wait outside for a bit, then walked to the station to try to meet you, and thought that maybe I missed you on the way, and hurried back.
I couldn't sleep since you weren't coming back, so I decided to wait awake, and repeated the first step.
I think I repeated the whole process like 5 times?"

Haruki: I'll stay at your side no matter what. Even if I have to abandon everything else.
Kazusa:... you're not being serious
Haruki: ....
Kazusa: don't tease me like that
Kazusa: even though I know you're lying, I still believe it a little, and it makes me sad
Haruki: Do you hate the idea of being with me sad? Do you dislike the idea of being with me that much?
kazusa: Idiot! don't misunderstand things on purpose! I hate when you do that!
haruki: sorry
Kazusa: it's like waking up from a dream, and getting sad because of something you can never have
haruki: Kazusa...
Kazusa: don't talk about impossible dreams, there's a limit to cruelty
Haruki: unfortunately, you're off the mark
Kazusa: Eh?
Haruki: I'm not lying, and I'm not teasing you either
Haruki: I'll really stay with you no matter what from now on, no matter where you go. Even if that place is Vienna
Kazusa: !?
Haruki: The pianist Kazusa Touma, or just the regular Japanese Kazusa Touma, I don't care which one.
Haruki: I'll support you from now on, I'll live for your sake from now on
Kazusa: haruki... you... are you........ insane?

We both freeze where we stand, but not from the winter air surrounding us, and not from happiness either, but from the pressure, the despair and the depression weighing us down

Kazusa: if you grant my wish, you'll have to leave someone else's dream behind...
Haruki: I'm fine even if I have to leave Japan, leaving overseas might be harsh at first, but I have confidence I'll manage to get a job
Kazusa: I don't mean that...!
Haruki: Don't worry about my family, they never cared much about me in the first place
Kazusa: I don't mean that, you're pretending to misunderstand thing again!
haruki: yeah...
Kazusa: What about... Setsuna?
haruki: ....
kazusa: you... no way.... are you serious?

Haruki: I'll save the one most important person in the world to me, that's why I decided.
Kazusa: i-idiot!
Haruki: right now, that probably right
Kazusa: *crying sounds* that's... don't do it... haruki...
haruki: Kazusa...
Kazusa: if you say more, I won't ever be able to live without you...
Haruki: uh... if you say that, it only makes me want to protect you harder...
Kazusa: *crying* so... sorry
haruki: listen, Kazusa, this is something only I decided, if you don't agree and it doesn't make you happy, if you're happier not taking my hand, then... I'll give up.
I only want your happiness...
but right now, I'm only causing you pain, I'm sorry.
but, you'll have to decide.
kazusa: me..?
haruki: probably, for both you and me, whatever the future has for us, we'll only find regret.
So at least, let's decide our own future, let's regret our own decision, if we're betraying someone dear, let's always carry that weight.
Kazusa: be-betray?
Haruki: I've already betrayed. Now you're the only one left.
Kazusa: ....
haruki: if this decision will make your life harsher, of if it'll make it a little happier...
i want you to consider it.
If you give me a positive answer, I'll do everything in my power to open up that path.
Even if I have to make a pact with the devil.

-scene cuts, Kazusa is now in the airport, the announcer says in the voicespeaker that the plane to Vienna is about to leave-
Later we see a plane taking off.

Haruki gets of the train, and when he's leaving the station, he finds Kazusa standing there.
Kazusa:.........yo
Haruki: ah...
Kazusa: it's been a week, how are you doing?
Haruki: the same to you...
Kazusa: me? or course I'm not doing well, because of that horrible choice you gave me, I thought I'd get sick and end up in the hospital
Haruki: that's...
Kazusa: what's with that face? don't tell me you already regreted what you said to me?
Haruki: I wouldn't...
Kazusa: if you regreted, that'd be only natural...
Kazusa: I thought pretty hard about that choice, it'd be weird if I didn't...
Haruki: and your answer is...?
KAzusa: ....
Haruki: shouldn't you give me an answer already? are you going to choose me, or are you going to dump me?
Kazusa: ... I went to the airport today...
haruki: eh?
Kazusa: I wasn't planning to run away and return to Vienna, I didn't even buy a ticket.
Haruki: then, why?
Kazusa: I just wanted to remember.
Haruki: remember what?
Kazusa: the sadness I felt when I left you 5 years ago, the pain that pierced my heart..
Kazusa: and I compared it, to the pain my decision would cause
Haruki: and then...?
Kazusa: don't you want to ask why was i waiting for you here?
Haruki: that's...
Kazusa: you know why, that I know what day is today, that there's a place you must definitely go today.
Haruki: ...

Kazusa: Haruki... you're going to Setsuna's birthday party, am i wrong?
Kazusa: you'll meet with Setsuna, and won't say anything about me, you'll give her a present, eat with her, and kiss her when you're alone, right?
Haruki: Kazusa...
Kazusa: and then you'll regret your decision, you'll think it's okay to leave me behind, that you're fine with Setsuna.
Haruki: I wouldn't...
Kazusa: I know how you are, you'll doubt again
Kazusa: ...but I'll put an end to that.
haruki: eh?
Kazusa: I hurried from the airport, by car, by taxi, and even running here to meet you, and I barely made it.
Kazusa: i came here to stop you.
Haruki: Kazusa...?
Kazusa: don't meet Setsuna anymore... Haruki... betray Setsuna... and choose me. Please... stay always by side...
Haruki: are you sure?
Kazusa: I love you

>Kazusa: don't meet Setsuna anymore... Haruki... betray Setsuna... and choose me. Please... stay always by side...
FUGG

Haruki and Setsuna are already engaged at this point. And yeah, this scene happens on February 14. Once again.

Why would he go so far with her if he didnt love her

He did love her.
