kj1980 - thank you for your summary. I really wish there were more of a market for games like Da Capo in North America, because I know that I (and many others) would love to play them. I really wish I could understand enough Japanese.
The "dream" ending I was dreading most was more along the lines of "and they all woke up from the dream as if nothing had ever happened".
I guess I was not aware, though, that it would be illegal for Nemu and Asakura to be married, given that there is no blood relation. I certainly realized it would be wierd, though, and that many people would *perceive* it as being wrong. (Then again, in some cultures, people would perceive marrying your first cousin as wrong, also.)
But of course this begs the question... (speculative spoilers)
Oh geez... now I'm getting worked up.
Episode 22 was awesome, by the way - thanks to AonE and HQA for the early Christmas present. And once again, I can't wait for the next one! This series is amazing; I agree with Keitarou20: anyone who gave up early on Da Capo is really missing out.
