Mami Lives, Chapter 4: Mami Friendship Chain
Spoiler for Sayaka Route:
Well, this one was pretty much straightforward. That's not a bad thing in itself, and I didn't really find anything objectionable. Since I chose [SOC1B] last time, I went into "MadoSaya begins" and "Sayaka Stays a Normal Girl". What I liked about it is that both Madoka and Sayaka have come to an agreement to take their relationship slowly forward. Basically, I agree with Deikan here. I'm impressed by their decision not to rush things. Especially now that they've both declined to make the contract, the risk of sudden death in combat that was a potential reason to rush the romance was lessened greatly. They have time to take things slowly, than if one or both of them were Puella Magi. Plus, I think it's cuter this way.
Come to think of it, Triple_R, you have essentially achieved here what you were originally planning for "Love Shatters Ice". MadoSaya without the problem of contracts with Kyuubey. Integrating parts of it for Sayaka's route was a very good move. It's the most natural choice in this case, yes?
And wow, those were some impressively long replies you already have there, so I kept mine relatively short.
Good work once again.
