Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - PSP Game Discussion Thread

[Okashira]

Thanks a lot for the summaries,

Spoiler for Universe:

Kodaka getting ready to "open the door to a new world" made me I think that I still have a smile in my face, hahahaha.

[frivolity]

Somehow, it seems that LN authors reserve the married-with-kids ending to one of the less likely girls. OreImo did it with Ayase, while here it's Rika.

[mironicus]

But Ayase was the girl that Kyosuke favored most from the beginning.

And Rika, too. Just read the "Homoge Club" Chapter. Kodaka likes her cuteness and looks, she is more approachable for him than Sena and Yozora.

"A good way to put it would be to say that she has the beauty of a lone flower blooming atop a hill―― and if I had to say whether I liked it or not, honestly, it's right in my strike zone..."

CG artworks that hasn't been posted here yet.

Spoiler for CG:

Yozora & Sena 'date'.


Sora flashback scene that makes Kodaka realize Yozora is Sora when she did the same pose retrieving a pamphlet that went fly.


Maria came to Hasegawa house to train to become Kodaka's wife for the bridal photo session.


Kobato asked Kodaka to accompany her to buy a cloth. And instead she wanted to buy an adult underwear.


Maria was asked by other people on the supermarket when she was left alone to buy dinner ingredients on the wife training, while Kodaka and Kobato went to other floor to buy Kobato's cloth.


If we chose to shop with Maria instead, after shopping Kodaka and Maria will go to clothing floor and Maria went inside each fitting rooms to find Kobato, who was trying an adult underwear.


Kiss scene for the bridal photo session with Maria.


The usual fight between two lolis.


Kodaka talked to Kobato why she didn't want to become bride model to substitute Maria when she was agree to it before.


Kodaka and Sena tried to do folk dance with Yukimura sang the song. It ended horribly since both never done it before and they kept stomp each other's feet.


When it was decided to replace Kodaka as a groom, Rika asked Yozora to wear boy uniform to see if she were fit to become a boy.


After Maria said she wanted to come to Kodaka's house and the rest of the club also wanted to come, Yozora finally hesitantly admit she also wanted to come after being teased by Sena and Maria.


Two lolis sleeping next to each other because it's already their bed time, even though the rest of the club was just trying to have a party.


The photoshopped picture Rika made for Kodaka on Maria & Kobato ending.


Another loli fight. IIRC, they wanted to take bath together with Kodaka since Kodaka won the jankenpon so he went first. Yozora on the back was trying to give Kodaka towel or something.


The fifth day on Kashiwazaki private island after the club had to endure living without electricity, water for the toilet, and food for some days. Stella came late due to the bad weather.

I thought the same thing when I got the Rika pregnant epilogue XD

Both are less favorable than the two main heroines from the respective series (Kirino and Kuroneko on OreImo x Yozora and Sena on Haganai; and both Kuroneko and Sena was more popular/favorable than Kirino and Yozora, respectively ), they also the one that the main character like based on looks. Though on OreImo case Ayase 'hates' Kyousuke because he is a hentai (from her perspective) while on Haganai it was Rika hentai side which made Kodaka keep a distance from her

[bakAnki]

One more set of CGs

Spoiler for CG:

This good scene didn't last long since a wind shut their fireworks in an instant and kill their mood.


Yozora was sleepy and she slept too close with the fire they set (the electricity on the island was off) and no one pay attention to her since the others were talking about folk dance. You can guess what happen after that since it was more or less same like on the LN/anime.


Self-explanatory, I think


Yukimura came to Kodaka's house to observe him in order to become a real man.


"He is a guy, he is a guy, he is a guy"


Depending on your choice, you'll get this one instead of the above


One of Yukimura's end. Didn't pay attention to this one so can't write a summary/explanation of it >3<


Yozora and Sena came to Kodaka house but they were fighting as usual so Kodaka had them to help him. If you choose Yozora to help him cook, you'll get this CG. I don't understand the detail but it looks like she cooked things unusually, even on the commentary Kodaka couldn't answer when Yozora asked for his opinion of her cooking and Sena said that she shouldn't cook even when she became a wife in the future.


Again, Yozora and Sena were fighting who should get a bath first. If you chose to told them to went together, you'll get this CG. There's something wrong on the bath room that made the girls scream and Kodaka checked on them.


Kodaka hugged Sena to proof that he really care about her after he confessed to Sena.


Kodaka came late to the photo session, and he was shocked to see Sena pregnant and there's a bishounen on her side. So he screamed something (later on epilogue we knew it was "that baby is mine", hinted that they did it) and it made Sena embarrassed and take him outside. Sena was pissed but when Kodaka said he'll protect Sena and wouldn't give her to another man, she became happy.


Sena normal end. Kodaka and Sena were in relationship but the other beside Yozora didn't know about it. Sena was little bit pissed when Kodaka said she is his (on different take of above picture), saying she wasn't Kodaka belonging and for her Kodaka is just mere little bit more special boy compared to other boys on their school who were her slaves. Hearing this, Yozora then teased her with that Kodaka is a free man, so the other girls started to went for Kodaka. Looking at that, Sena finally said, "Move over from my Kodaka!" while chasing Kodaka who ran from the club room.

These summaries are great. Now if only we could find someone on Youtube with walk through's of all the routes with subtitles.

you probably should take the blame on namco bandai, LN to game team.

[bakAnki]

Btw, every time you get the good end for each girl, you'll unlock an omake story of respective girl. The omake story will be on their respective point of view, some are related but others stand on their own.

I already forgot the detail so here's the basic summaries. Yozora's one are about her attempt to make Kodaka remember she is Sora by doing stuffs, the only thing I remember is she addressed herself with ore.

Sena was the story of her taking secret photos of Kobato and at the night trying to sneak into her room when they were still on the island (she made a TWGOK joke, "Kobato-chan, I can see the ending"). She met Rika instead so she cancelled her plan.

Maria was trying to find Kodaka one day. She tickled Kobato who didn't tell her but once she tell her where Kodaka is, he already left. Then Yozora and Sena fooled her by saying Kodaka is went somewhere she can't reach and praying to God wasn't enough, so she had to bow down every time she saw a frog; in the end Kodaka went back to the club room and it made Maria happy, while both Yozora and Sena reaped what they sow (IIRC Rika's test frog slipped to Sena and Yozora's uniform or something).

Rika trying to 'attacked' Kodaka on his room on the private island but instead she had to deal with Maria who sneak to Kodaka's room and sleep with him and later Kobato who need someone to accompany her to the toilet. At one point her story and Sena's connected.

While Kobato's one was she went outside the villa on the night and met Yozora who afraid to go to the toilet alone, and after that she found Sena who was bathing and avoided her and in the end she met Kodaka.

Here are over 60 videos of gameplay, showing complete routes from Sena, Yukimura and Yozora and Maria (still Rika ending is missing).

You can save the videos, they have numbers for playback order in the filenames.

[mironicus]

Now the Rika route was published (see the link above the posting).

It's interesting to see how seriously and straight Kodaka confesses to Rika. He confesses many times to win her heart. Well... the outcome is the pregnant ending. Yozora/Sena is only girlfriend ending.

I really would like to see that translated, because I want to know how he developed this feelings.

Really late reply, but I just got my copy recently.
As to how he develops his feelings... Well, he doesn't, afaik. Right from the very start, you could confess to Rika without any monologue to support it. I haven't gotten any ends yet (except the sister end), but I'm still on Yukimura route and am TRAUMATIZED. I wasn't planning on this... I was gonna avoid the BL route forever and yet... T.T

[Mystic_Vegetto]

Just wondering but how exactly do you play the game? Kinda looking for something new to play and was thinking about possibly getting this game. It seems you still have to make choices, but what's that system where it seems Yozora and Sena are on Screen but then you have the other club members in boxes around them? What kind of system is that and how does that play out in determining which of the girls you're aiming for? Are there any other gameplay mechanics that can be explained?

[roankun]

It's kinda like the OreImo two-shot routine, if you're familiar with it.
Basically, instead of the one-on-one conversation and choosing to say something or keep quiet (OreImo), you get to choose WHO to say something to or keep quiet. They're both timer'ed, and personally, I prefer this over OreImo's system, because you can save in between.

There's a tutorial accessible from the main menu featuring Rika And Yukimura, and iirc, there's an Map system, where you choose who to talk to; the choices system, you know the usual in VN's; the tsukkomi system (not sure of the name, which is what I explained above; and the Aru Aru system, which is... useless. It basically asks you to move the analog when there's one of those stick mans on screen, and as Rika said, it does absolutely nothing at all. I'm not even sure what it's for -_-"

So, yeah, I suggest getting the game. It was a fun play. ^^ (But the common route is waaay too long. -_-")

A bit late on this, but:

Spoiler for Yozora x Sena:

YES!!



WIN!!


Now i can die a happy man

That's called Rinjinbu System (隣人部システム), IIRC. At that point, like roankun said, you can select one girl to specifically talk with them. On that "choose your girl" part you can hear them talk (to other girls or mumbling with themselves). When you choose a girl it doesn't mean you instantly trigger the flag for her, sometimes you need to talk to other character to trigger flag for the girl you want to be end with.

There's also a keyword system you can unlock throughout the game to get more endings. To unlock this you need to talk with the right girl on the Rinjinbu System or choose the right choice. But the keyword system you unlocked couldn't be kept for the next play through like ORE Item on OreImo Portable, except the keyword to get Yozora If ending.

Agreed, it's fun and sorta needed, but it doesn't need to be that long >,<

And I was expecting for more romance build-up through out the girl's specific route but I was disappointed on that matter

Aren't most of those the EXACT same pictures (even the url links ) I took and posted above and on previous page?

I even posted *crappy* summaries for some routes on previous page

yozora x sena is very good,but i would have liked to see a sena x kobato pairing;a big breasted blonde+a petanko loli one would have been nice.

There is no Kobato route, unless you take into account the Imouto Battle Royale thing and the tie-in with the Maria route.

I quote the wiki, "ぶっちゃけ小鳩ENDはなく、マリアENDが２つ、理科ENDが１つとなっている。 "
"There is no Kobato end, there are two Maria ends, and one Rika end."

Exactly why I like it better than OreImo Portable. Having to replay it multiple times just to get the true end was annoying, and the only true end I got without a walkthrough was Saori's. -_-" Compared to that, I got all the CGs and endings in Haganai without a walkthrough, and only now do I use it to get the two branches that I missed. (So, in the end, I'm still walkthrough-dependent, huh? )

Yuri I approve! Sena's yuri vibes are just plain awesome even after the shocking, but non surprising revelation, in volume 4 "hint, hint".
