Hey, the old man is kinda cool ! ;_;

Spoiler:

Well I finished Kashiwara's then Chie-nee's arks so far, and despite that I was really anticipating Chie, her route was sorta lacking. The part with the guitar genius old man was unrelated to the whole issue of Chie-nee (unlike Kashi's route with meeting the uncle who gave the guitar of her Father to her), and the part with the yakuza girl made my blood boil. I really despised that girl... And then she even follows them to Tokyo.... Obviously she feels totally obligated to interfere with the issue of Chie-nee's family, despite that she knows her for less than a month. At the latter parts I just ctrl-d through what she says, I so disliked her in the end.
Anyway, I believe the whole divorce thing was a bit overdramatized, I could understand what's happening with my parents when my mom cheated on my dad (I was 8 and my sis 6), yet we didn't take it so badly as the adult Chie. I'm sorry, but I couldn't really sympathize with her in the same situation.
Additionally the ending didn't really solve the issues at all. We didn't see Chie-nee reconciling with her Father, and her baby little brother is still not born yet. I felt the cut where the route ended was a bit too sudden, and I would have liked if these things would have been answered in the end (maybe the true end will answer it, IDK, but don't tell me about it as I don't want to be spoiled). At least the last concert was cool (even Hirakami was playing ).
Kashi's route was nice though.

Well, if you read it correctly, this 'baby little brother' had born when Chie's father new wife was talking to her. You can see it if you look at her stomach ^^;
Glad that you liked Sarina. I found that her development in the ending was. . beautiful. While at the other hand, Chie-nee doesn't have that much impact to me too. But still, after looking at how Chie-nee can symphatized but had a logical feeling of 'resentment' towards her father, I find her story rather. . unique. ^^;

Oh btw, Kirari route is epic ;_; just don't forget to save after you finished the trip.
