Isara's route is unlikely going to happen but I like the idea of at least venturing it. After all, manifestos are supposed to correct key issues. The only other thing the anime presented was shady activity, and the fact that Moheji mentioned stuff in the financial commission also had its share of underhanded issues which ironically is another Satsuki thing.


Which brings the question: Was the Satsuki unaware of the finance commission underhanded stuff also prevalent in any of the other routes? From what I read from spoilers I haven't seen particular evidence.

Spoiler for spoiler:

That only happened in Satsuki's route, because there were some kind of internal conflict in the finance department due to various reasons like Satsuki's stubborness for wanting a fair "fight" despite having lost quite some popularity mid way the story due to things like the openly known relation between Yuuki and Satsuki and other things that i forgot.

Spoiler for spoiler:

He has a pretty good plan in Isara's story though and in at the end of almost every route, he has been way ahead of Moheji and lost by a slight margin to Satsuki.

Spoiler for vague but slight spoilers:

Oojima uses the same "Tacos" plan in Michiru's and Chisato stories.
He uses an entirely different plan in Isara story which entirely focuses on the bullying issue, which changes the elections part drastically.
In Mifuyu's route he hardly had something due to all the drama in that route. Oojima had the least chance of winning in this route and he even had to give the elections up at the end.
And i don't recall what he exactly had in mind in Satsuki's route, seeing that politics strangely enough didn't play that much of a role in her route untill the end.

But it's even more unlikely to have any confession at Isara. You usually need a key surrounding event that justifies the interest. [Maybe the hard working effect despite being poor?]

Spoiler for spoiler:

The siblings only show up once in the game and i wouldn't call them that important.
What 4 leaf clover event? Isara uses 4 leaf clovers as some kind of supersititous way of having wishes granted and the clovers were later used symbolically at the end of the route.

From what you guys said, Yuuki just blacked out, there was no speech paper mixup, a lot wasn't actually in the game.

Spoiler for spoiler:

I would say that all the events in episode 5 and 6 doesn't deter Mifuyu's route but increases the chances of it. Because Mifuyu's entire route focuses on the love triangle and the guilt of it.

Might as well explain why Satsuki's plan is not entirely beneficial for low income students like Isara, seeing that it's still a discussion in the anime thread and i can't explain it there.

Spoiler for spoiler:

The problem is that the current scholarship system promotes low income students joining the school despite the bad economical times. She is estimating that there will be more students using this scholarship in the low run (in the game 10% of all the students are in fact low income) . Plus those students tend to have lower grades than the regular students because they have to work for their scholarships and are prone to dropping out as well (the bullying also increases the chance for dropping out but like she has stated in her manifesto, there is no actual solution to that problem). Making them a liablity in Satsuki's case.
In order to stop this trend, she wants to implement a new scholarship system. But to buffer the loss of less students joining the school who somewhat earned back some/most or all (not entirely explained) of the education fees by working, she needs to save up money. And you can guess why now she needed to cut the budget or even disband the less productive clubs.

Also it was mentioned in Isara's route, the upcoming scholarship will work like loan. In which you still need to pay back in the future, thus making it impossible for people with poor families to afford it. Like in Isara's case, it will destroy any chances of that her little brothers will be going to the same school as she did.

Thus Satsuki's plans are purely seen from a financial perspective .
