Finally finished Non-chan's route after being held back because of reading other eroge (Shunki Gentei Poco a Poco! and trials of "Tsuki ni Yorisou Otome no Sahou" and "Hananiro Heptagram") and it was very disappointing.

I know that i shouldn't expect anything spectacular because none of the original 5 stories were that good, but they made her story very bad and also her story lacked any real romance, except near the end and the epilogue. Another disappointment was that the politics were almost entirely skipped in her route. Plus there was some minor unneeded and forced drama at 3/4 of the story.
The good thing was that Chisato did not cause any drama and was actually a decent support character, i am complaining for the lack of "piece of heart" that usually should play for these kind of scenes


later edit:

I am not going to bother rereading it, seeing that i still have a bad aftertaste from it last night.

Spoiler for basic summary while being deprived of sleep and didn't like the story, so expect inaccuracies and many left out details :

Like i posted earlier, her common route was mostly about her not understanding what love is. Which is also accentuated slightly later, in which Yuuki finds out she has been getting confession at a daily base but she has been rejecting all of them.

Her actual route was primarily about her new invention that effects the mood of people because it gives off a a nice smell or whatever it was. It helped Yuuki securing his spot in the 3rd place by 800 (?) votes in the prelimaries instead of the usual 600 in the common route.
Later before the first round of the elections, Non-chan turned that machine on again to attract more people during the campaign and something went wrong and it gave the reverse effect for the people around them and it almost went out of hand. After the first round, Oojima ended up being last and Non-chan blames herself for it.

Eventhough Yuuki managed to completly win the 2nd round without the help of Non-chan's invention but with good preparations, she was still a little depressed from earlier.
To cheer her up, Yuuki decided to have a"date" with her (conveniently the others couldn't come, so it became really a date for the 2 of them) and at the end of the date, he confesses to Non-chan (the development to this was like i said earlier weak, because there was almost none) but she postponed giving an answer because it was rather unexpected for her (and for myself as well).

2 or so days later, Non-chan did not show up for the usual promoting Yuuki's campaigning. After a short moment the group finds out that Non-chan has gone to Moheji's side. Which obviously shocks everyone for her "betrayal" and it hurts their campaign as well, because they don't have their instant stage for promotion.

At the end of the day Chisato saw that Yuuki was the most effected by this and after confirming that Yuuki was indeed in love with Nozomi, she gives up on Yuuki and encourages him to believe in Non-chan and talk with her.

So Yuuki heads off to Non-chan and she explains that this "betrayal" was somewhat a blackmail because of her machine from earlier.
It didn't help that this ended up being lazily resolved, so i completely gave up on the plot at this point.
As for the final speech, it was entirely skipped. You saw the group cheering for Yuuki before the speech and it skips immediately to the aftermath..
After congratulating Yuuki for his efforts and hard work, the group decided to leave Non-chan and Yuuki alone. After that there was a short talk between the 2, which ended with Non-chan answering to Yuuki's earlier confession with a kiss.


The epilogue shows Yuuki, now a 3rd years and the vice president, with Non-chan bringing him an actual handmade bento prepared with love (which was a small event in her common route related to her not knowing what love was)

I don't think i am going to read anyone else's route after this. The only thing that i will be checking is if the the psp game is using the anime seiyuu for Kana (Iguchi Yuka) or kept the original pc version.
