So far I've only read the 1st chap...cant say much about it...just tht hope it isnt like kimiro focus
Look more like Amagami to me plus the main character reminds of Junichi and the main girl looks like a Haruka/Ryoko hybrid.
The first chapter of Sweet Snap seems promising. Still no translated version of Your Eyes Only btw?
So far I've only read the 1st chap...cant say much about it...just tht hope it isnt like kimiro focus
Judging by only chapter 1, it looks like to be focused on Haruka, but who knows. But from what I've played on the PSP, her story(ies) was good, I enjoyed it.

Haven't found one yet, I've only read the RAW ^^
Chapter 1 was the introduction of Aki, Haruka, and Mai...

Btw, I've finally cleared all the girls story, only once each girl though). All of them are good. Hard to pick which one my true favorite, but for me the least interesting are Nonoka and Rina (I've only played the L Suki route for both of them). Hoping the mangas will adapt it well.
Also, just like my friend told, there is Kanon route on the game. Damn that girl is so cute and adorable :heh:

The male protagonist? You can see the "Your Eyes Only" version of him inside the spoiler tag on my previous post but there aren't any picture of him from the PSP game. I like his look on YEO version better than SS.
As pictures of the girls, I saved some from my games. I'd be more than happy to share it here but it may contain spoiler :heh:

But man, all the girls are really cute, so much that I want to take them home. Especially his childhood friend, his sister, and the twintails girl.
Hmm... Sounds like SS is the childhood friend's route.

Nylon and Yuziki N Dash doing echi stuff now?
Chapter 2 is out. Maeda's little sister reminds me of Miya from Amagami.
Yeah, I think Sweet Snap will go to Haruka end since they skipped other girls introduction. But whether it's L(ove) or H(appy) route is still unclear since Maeda hasn't made his choice yet.
Kudou manage to become cool and pervert at the same time XD
Moreover on the game since he's voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa :3
And apparently there will be the third manga adaptation, Memorial Pictures. Seems it will be focused to Kanon and Momoko-sensei, the two bonus characters on the game that required player to cleared all 7 girls to unlocked their route.
http://i.imgur.com/8uzX2.jpg
This one will start on March 12th on Earth Star.
I've also updated the character information on the first post with respective voice actor and two characters I didn't put before.

*sees Haruka's Panty Shot*
Image file saved.
EDIT: Oh, there are a lot of panty shots here, eh?
Now, since the manga version has different versions, there's no canon route for this game, right?

Hmm, join the club with the pervy stalker dude who wants me to be a pervy stalker dude as well, or the club with three girl members, at least one of whom is hot.
This is a choice?
This series seem interesting. I only have read ch 1-2 of Photo Kano already, and I liked it.
Never expect this was originally a VN :D
Seems like I'll have one more thing to get in my next trip.
Btw, the pics are so cute, I can't wait for more XD
Now, since the manga version has different versions, there's no canon route for this game, right?
Is there usually any canon route for love simulation game like this?:confused:
I guess there isn't any canon route for the PSP game. Haruka, Kanon, and Momoko route has an epilogue after the end credit though.
Hmm, join the club with the pervy stalker dude who wants me to be a pervy stalker dude as well, or the club with three girl members, at least one of whom is hot.

LOL.
Well on the game it's needed so you can go to Story L(ove) for the Photo Club or Story H(appy) for the Photography Club for each girl. It is weird if you see it as third person XD
Btw I finally cleared Kanon and Momoko route just now. That was fun, and I think that is it for this game for now, time to move to Haganai Portable X3
Here is some picture I took from the game if anyone interested about the game. These aren't from the main story event so it's spoiler-free :3

Well, AFAIK, Kira Kira has one, Kirari's True End. I actually thought previous love simulation games have canon routes, but it seems they're now getting rid of that feature to appease as many members of the eroge fanbase as possible.
It sure sucks for someone who likes Lolis to have a Tsundere for a canon route, or for someone who likes Tsunderes to have a Shrinking Violet for a canon route.
And BTW, Kanon and Momoko are BOTH beautiful. I like both of their archetypes, namely the Little Sister (being the youngest sibling I never had a little sister, and the closest thing I ever had to one ended up raising me, I kid you not) and the Teacher (I tend to like and attract some of these IRL, though the God of Conquest says this eroge archetype has usually the hardest route).

LOL yea seems like a no brainer don't it:heh:
Like it alot so far but if I had to say one thing I kinda think I would have liked it a little more if there was still a little more tension between the guy and Haruka.
Seems the distance between them just disappeared in an instant after that little talk about the camera.
Now not to say that I don't like it as I'm fine with it nor is it unrealistic as old friends can easily be all buddy like very quickly again after some time but it's manga gotta throw in a little drama here and there at times.
But if I had to say the big plus of this series, it's drawn by Yuzuki N'!!!:bow:
Hope to see the others get translated as well.
The first chapter of Phone Kano - Your Eyes Only has just been released. I'm loving this can't wait for a new chapter.

Hmm... The kouhai route, huh? So are kouhai routes in VNs? How hard are they in general?
Hmm... The kouhai route, huh? So are kouhai routes in VNs? How hard are they in general?
"The kouhai route" thing seems to be the translator note, since Mai part on this chapter 1 is her introduction part on the game, the same with Aki and Haruka. So it still unclear whether YEO will go to Mai route or another girls at this point. :heh:
But yeah of course there is Mai/kouhai route on the game. she's one of the main heroines :D
By the way, there's *I think, I don't know if there's more* 4 routes/endings for each girls, depending the club Maeda (or player) chose and the relationship development along the game, whether you get more heart icon to go to lover route or note icon to go to friendship route. With the exception of Tomoe, Kanon, and Momoko whose not related with club you chose.
Chapter 3 of Sweet Snap has just been released.

The first 10 pages I was like "aww, Maeda, what a mean guy." Then I was like "hey, at least she still knows him".
Oh so he chose Photo Club after all. So story L it is then. And with the event up to this point, it looks like it's going to the love route :3
And props to the mangaka who succeed to make the manga more ecchi than the game :heh:
Good thing the manga got translated, now I can understand some dialogue I couldn't ^^
Btw I did the same thing when I played my first run, didn't chose either one but the game insist we have to make a choice XD
Little gift :3

What is the difference of the two routes in the game when choosing a the club?
What is the difference of the two routes in the game when choosing a the club?
From what I experienced:
- You can get the sub-story of Yuuko (the mysterious girl of Photography Club) or sub-story of Katsumi & Ruu if you choose Photo Club.
- Photo Club makes it easier to get heart icon every morning when the girl met you on the school gate/locker and each time relationship level increased, while Photography Club makes easier to get note icon.
*Heart icon > note icon = Suki/love route | Note icon > heart icon = Nakayoshi/friendship route*
- The story, of course. The main/basic problem is basically the same though, but the details are different.
Both are about her diet problem regarding her club.

Eh... not a fan of 3D CG for VNs. Look at those jagged edges.
I guess I will be enjoying the manga adaptations more, even if only for aesthetic reasons.
Anyway, it's not really a hard choice because of reasons Utsuro no Hako already stated. The Photo Club's members are at least attractive, and from what chapter 3 has shown, he already gets to take nice photos of hot girls even without the pervy Photography Club.
lol. Nylon and Yuzuki Ntr' doing a manga. I hope they won't touch the plot and just solely base it from the game especially Yuzuki Ntr'. :twitch:
So basically, Photography Club Route = Hard Mode?
Slightly harder if you want the opposite (eg. you want to go to friendship route on Photo Club story or you want to go to lover route on Photography Club story).
The thing is the main way to fill the icon is with the conversation mode, depending on the topic you choose you'll get heart or note icon, and the result for the topic will be the same on each relationship level so you can always load your data if you're not satisfied with the result.
But even if the conversation result is the same, the location of the girl will usually change if you load your game (the game won't tell you the location of the girl on the map, it's random). So yeah it really takes time but it's not that hard because in the end you only need to get more type of icon, even just only a few, as opposed from another.
For example on below image I got 4 heart icons from 6 possible space (upper left), so even if I got 2 note icons after that I'll still got the lover route event because my heart icon number is more than the note icon.
http://i.imgur.com/Imgqr.jpg
If you're wondering about 6 is even number that you may get 3-3, for each relationship level there's 2 main events. The first event will further expand the relationship bar so you'll have to fill more space with more icon. So in the end, I think it's not possible to get same number of heart and note icon ^^
Anyway, it's not really a hard choice because of reasons Utsuro no Hako already stated. The Photo Club's members are at least attractive, and from what chapter 3 has shown, he already gets to take nice photos of hot girls even without the pervy Photography Club.

Liked Chapter 3 of Sweet Snap, very nice indeed:p
Guess int eh end it didn't really matter what club he joined, he could still see the pretty girls eitherway:heh:
That niggle from before is still there, do still wish there was a little more tension between the 2 but it's pretty smooth going for the 2, just 2 awkward teenagers getting to know each other.
When you have to 2 characters with history in a romance story, I guess I like to see drama between the 2 that either drives the 2 apart at the start then you get your event that turns it around and they then start to get closer.
Or something happened in the past that made the 2 grow apart quite alot and then we see the 2 trying to get closer, kinda like the deal with Habara and Karasawa from Daily Lives of Highschool Boys.
Call it somewhat generic but it's something I like alot. Most of the time when thoses types of setting pop up they aren't handled greatly and just kinda fall apart.
BTW is Sweet Snap monthly?
p.s Haruka <3
Sweet Snap is published in Dengeki Maoh. Since Dengeki Maoh is a monthly magazine, so I think yeah, Monthly.
Just read Your Eyes Only #2
As the title said, it's the introduction of Nonoka. We also get little bit of Mai on the beginning (hell, she's the one on the cover page :heh:), and Kudou and Katsumi also showed up on the last part.

But since I've played very few of love simulation/VN game I don't have many game as benchmark so that's that ^^

Photo Kano - Your Eyes Only chapter 2 has been released.
Reading YOE #2 makes me want to play Photo Kano again. Haven't played story H for Nonoka, Hikari, and Rina :3
Wonder why they don't introduce Rina and Hikari too before the event with Kudou and Katsumi.
They have H scenarios in those games? Like as in an eroge or it is just mild fanservice?
Photo Kano - Your Eyes Only chapter 3 has been released.
So he chose the photography club. This is getting interesting.
He chose Photography Club? If it goes to Aki route then I'm happy since Aki story is more interesting on story H :D
But Haruka and Mai story H weren't bad neither :)
And LOL, he didn't even count Nonoka in the end? :heh:
They have H scenarios in those games? Like as in an eroge or it is just mild fanservice?
H on this one stands for Happy :heh:
But you still can get the Suki/Lover ending on story H. I didn't really remember but yeah I guess we got more fan service shutter chance on story H compared on story L (Love)
I see, got it. The "H" part was pretty deceptive.
Aah, finally got all the lover endings for each girls on the PSP game ^^;;
Since I got the time, I'll write the summary of the stories and put it behind the spoiler tag. Some are long while some are short, since my memories and Japanese are both not very bright :heh:
http://i.imgur.com/3H81k.jpg
Story L
Haruka always reaching for Maeda. Maeda, even though he knows Haruka since childhood couldn't help get inferiority complex since Haruka became very different now as she grew up to become very beautiful and famous girl. And someday the girls from their class were gossiping about Haruka and Maeda, they talked Haruka was too good for Maeda and he overheard it. Maeda himself knew that, and start to keep a distance from Haruka again. When he overheard an ace striker from Soccer Club confessed to Haruka, he said to Haruka afterwards that Haruka should be with that person instead of him. Maeda's word made Haruka angry.
Day later, Haruka was in the pain (I didn't really understand why @_@) and it made Maeda remember the day when he and Haruka play soccer together. Haruka was also in pain that day and Maeda decided to stop play soccer with Haruka, it made Haruka sad because Maeda was the only boy who still play with her because other boys think it weird to play soccer with a girl like Haruka (which back then was having a short hair, had a boyish nickname "Haru", and liked to play soccer with boys). Little Haruka then cried inside and little Maeda tried to cheer her up. We got back to the present day where Maeda took care of Haruka. Haruka was happy Maeda took care of her because it looks like when they were young again when they close to each other. Haruka didn't want them to became apart again, and Maeda also apologize for what he said before.
Before the school festival, Haruka asked about Maeda's dream. Maeda said that for now he would try his best to become pro cameraman. Haruka envied of him as she didn't have any dream instead of became a wife for a man she loves and have a 3 children, so she said that Maeda's dream is also her dream.
After the school festival ends and Maeda confessed to Haruka, Maeda now remember their promise they made. When little Haruka was crying because little Maeda couldn't play soccer with her again, Maeda said that Haruka will have to give her best to become beautiful girl because when she becomes beautiful many people will be her friend and can play together with her. Little Haruka then said she will give her best to become beautiful, and she also forced Maeda to take her as his wife when she finally become a beautiful girl.
Story H
Photography Club announced Haruka as Miss Photogenic of Koga High School and wanted to take a lot of Haruka pictures to be shown on school festival. Kudou asked Maeda to take great picture of Haruka as he had great advantage of being osananajimi. Apart from Maeda's attempt so Nakagawa, Nitta, and Yuuko plan to take erotic picture of Haruka failed, basically it's the same like story L with his relationship with Haruka.
There's an additional childhood memory of them having a first kiss. On this story Maeda didn't remember his promise to take Haruka as her wife but on the epilogue Haruka said that it's okay since Maeda already told her that he loves her, that's why they had two first kisses. As long as they loves each other, new love and new memory will be born.

Story L
After seeing her do her best as the top student and seito kaicho, and was told by Katsumi that Aki is the only daughter the famous doctor who had his own hospital, Maeda was determined to help Aki when she looked tired of everything and wanted to give up. She said that she actually hated study and wasn't a genius at all, it's just she didn't want to disappoint her father so she gave up on the Swimming Club she loved and have to study to become a top student and could become a doctor. To cheer her up, Maeda invited her to an Aquarium which have dolphin show Aki loved when she was a children. Aki got her spirit back and told Maeda to kiss her in the cheek just like a dolphin did.
Story H
On this story, one day Maeda was trying to get a good picture in the schoolyard when she found out Aki was climbing the wall because she was late. Maeda took photo of her and 'blackmail' her to become a model. The funny thing is, every time Maeda asked her to do an embarrassing pose Aki was agreed to it because she thought Maeda will published the picture of her climbing the school wall to crushed her reputation as seito kaicho, even though Maeda never think about going that far. And when Aki became tired of studying and became top student, Maeda invited her to skipped school for the whole day and went to the mall instead. The feeling of freedom, even just for a day, gave Aki her spirit and determination back.
http://i.imgur.com/GWbqo.jpg
Story L
Maeda helped Mai to eat her lunch as she was on a diet. The cheerful Mai became depressed when she didn't pick as a member to perform on Gymnastic Club. She thought it was because her small body, she wasn't as beautiful as othe member, and even though Maeda tried to cheer her by saying she was cute it didn't make her better. Mai gave up on her diet and asked Maeda to accompany her to the mall to eat food and parfait she usually couldn't. Maeda then invited her to went to amusement park together to cheer her up. When she still bothered about the club, Maeda realized something when he was looking at Mai and comparing the Cosmos flower on the park and sunflower on their school.
Maeda said to Mai that both flower can't be compared as they were their own and both of them are beautiful, and it was the same as Mai. Mai is Mai and she had her own beauty that was different from another member. Maeda's word gave Mai her determination back and the day after she came back to the club. Before the school festival day, she came to Maeda class and asked him to went home together. She then told Maeda that she finally picked to perform and it was thanks to Maeda she could gain her spirit back. Looking at Mai who was very happy, Maeda took her picture and submit it to the club on the school festival day.
Story H
Maeda was helping Mai to eat whatever foods Mai wanted to eat but she couldn't, so Maeda would eat those foods for her and describe the taste for Mai. She also didn't pick to perform on Gymnastic Club on this story but she didn't lose her spirit as she will do her best to support other members on the club from the back. On the ending when Maeda confessed to her, she was happy because even though the club didn't pick her, Maeda as her beloved senpai pick her as his lover.

Story L
Hikari told Maeda the reason she didn't want to take people portrait, as people will instantly smile when there's a camera and that kind of smile wasn't natural from the heart so Hikari hates it and didn't want to take it, nor she can smile when her photo was taken. Maeda then tried to make Hikari smile but he always failed.
And it was when Maeda wore a silly dog costume Hikari finally couldn't hold her smile and even couldn't stop laughing until Maeda put out the costume. After their date to amusement park, Hikari asked Maeda to take picture of night's sky. While waiting for the picture, Hikari told the story why she hates fake smile. I hardly understand but as far as I can tell, Hikari was betrayed and being made fun of by her first girl friends when she was on 2 year on Middle School. Seeing Maeda got angry for her after she told her the story, Hikari said that Maeda is very kind and she liked Maeda's smile and had faith on it as Maeda gave her smile back on her face.
The picture of the night's sky they took looked like a falling star and Hikari asked if Maeda had a wish. Maeda said that he liked Hikari's smile so he wished for Hikari to smile a bit more. Hikari then asked Maeda if it's okay to take picture of him. It was Hikari's first portrait she took after so long. Hikari then said her wish is also to saw a lot more of Maeda's smile because she liked it.
Story H
Maeda often took picture of Hikari, even on weird pose and moment. It ticked Hikari off and she wanted to strikes Maeda back. So now she also took Maeda embarrassing moment like when he was sentenced to stand outside the class or when he was the only one left on the class doing a test. Now every time they were together they didn't let their guard down to take picture of each other, especially if it was a silly moment.
Hikari said that Maeda was weird to be interested taking her picture and Maeda also said it was the same for Hikari to take his picture, Hikari said it was fine for her as she is a weird gir from the startl.

Story L
Nonoka asked Maeda to be partner to practice her throw in place of Maeda request to make Nonoka her model. They practiced together but when Nonoka finally mastered the throw, she became sad as the time they could spend together will end.
Story H
Didn't want to lose to Haruka whom was the girl Maeda likes, Nonoka challenge Maeda in a battle. Nonoka will try to become more girly and if Maeda fall in love with her it will be her victory but if she failed then she will give up on him and will support his love relationship as a best friend they use to be. Through out their battle, Nonoka always fail to understand how girl should behave but in the end Maeda still fall in love with her and her uniqueness.

Story L
To helped Rina who had a hard time to make other students join her Cooking Club, Maeda came up with the idea to make Rina join a cooking contest so if she win the school will know the existence of Cooking Club. Rina agreed and decided to make a hamburger as the food but she still didn't know what should she do so her hamburger had a resemblance of Kouga High School. Maeda then gave her a hint, showing her a photo of her on the schoolyard he took earlier. Rina understood the hint and began to make the new burger. The hint Maeda gave was a sunflower.
Rina then succeed to make her Himawari Burger and insisted that the burger was made by her and Maeda, because even though she made it, it was Maeda's idea in the first place. Maeda then helped her to take a photo of the burger and submit it to the contest. On the school festival day there were two freshman girls who wanted to join the Cooking Club after they heard the Himawari Burger Rina made.
Story H
Rina was having the same problem. She was lonely and sad because no one join her club. Maeda then invited her to do some stuff like dart and billiard to cheered her up. Maeda also helped her to take a picture of food Rina made and put it on school's website, but still no one join. In the end, Maeda came up with the idea of Cooking Club to do Obento Day on the school festival. Everyone can brought a food and ate it together. Almost every heroines came and brought their lunch they made and eventually there's two freshman girls who also brought the food they made and wanted to join the club.

Seeing Tomoe who always alone, didn't like the crowd, and felt nothing special of herself, Maeda could relate to her. Tomoe who first still keep distance gradually accept Maeda, and she became like the sound of Maeda's camera.
One day, Tomoe told Maeda that after school festival, she will move with her family out of the town. In fact, it was because of her father's job that requires him to move constantly that made Tomoe didn't want to make friends because it hards to say goodbye when she had to move. But hanging out with Maeda now gave her courage to tell the class that she will move because she wanted to have a good time with everyone in her last moment.
Maeda himself had an idea to take picture of everything of Koga High School and made an album so he could give it to Tomoe, so she always remember the time she was in the school. The time when Tomoe finally had to announce it in the front of the class, Maeda took picture so Tomoe who was really nervous can be relaxed after hearing his camera sounds. And finally Tomoe could tell the class about his move.
On the school festival day, after show the picture of Tomoe he submitted to the club and gave her the album he made, Maeda confessed to her and said he'll worked hard so he could often visit Tomoe.

Through out the story, Maeda was struggling inside seeing Kanon, his little sister, grew up becoming so cute but he wasn't sure of his feeling to her as he couldn't say she is cute to Kanon.
On their date to the beach, when Maeda saw Kanon built a sand castle, he was reminded when Kanon was little and she built a sand castle where she said it was the place of her 'hoshi no mama' (star's mother) lived. Maeda remember the time when he was little, he found little Kanon who was lost on the beach, searching for her father. Together they sought for Kanon's father and then Kanon's father and Maeda's mother found them, thinking it was destiny for them to already meet before they were introduced properly. So yes, Kanon wasn't Maeda real sister. Maeda's mother and Kanon's father remarried after Kanon's real mother (which she called 'hoshi no mama') died. Kanon didn't remember her real mother's face since it happened when she was a baby. Little Maeda then gave Kanon a bell afterwards so whenever Kanon was lost again, he could find her.
One day before the school festival, the sound of the bell made Maeda found Kanon in the park who was writing a love letter. Kanon then told Maeda that she always remember that she had 'hoshi no mama', but she also loves Maeda's mother, or Mamarin, and her own father, whom she called Paparin. After the school festival end, Maeda gave Kanon a photo album which had the picture of Kanon's real mother and Kanon also gives Maeda the love letter she wrote the other day. Kanon told that she really likes Maeda. Maeda then called Kanon cute, which makes Kanon cries happily because it's been a long time since he called her cute. After that they kiss.
It's unclear for me whether they were in relationship now or not but as far as I remember Maeda didn't say he loved her like on the other girls route. We only got to hear Kanon narration on the epilogue where she said that she believed in the fate that made he found her when she was lost, and she said she hoped for Maeda to receive all of her feelings, both as his little sister and as a girl who loves him. Then we get to see the scene where Kanon, as her usual cheerful self, trying to wake Maeda up to went to school together. Maeda still hasn't woken up, and then instead of Rabbit Headlock, Kanon tried to give him a wake up kiss.

Maeda helped Momoko to take tour around the school so she became familiar of it. Days later, having difficulty to understand some lessons, Momoko helped Maeda with private tutor that only took a while yet he understood it. Aki who was in the library told Maeda that Momoko is a genius from top university whom has great memory and can teach efficiently.
Days later Maeda woke up late and when he almost gave up running to school, he met Momoko who rode a bicycle. Momoko invited him to rode her bicycle together but got off before they got to school so Aki, the strict seito kaicho, won't see it. On the road Maeda asked about Momoko's reason to became a teacher in their school even though she is a genius from top university. Momoko said it was because when she was in high school she interested in Koga High School but her father got him to study on all girl school, from the elementary school to high school. She also said that she has a dream to fall in love and went out with normal boy, just like Maeda, on high school. They were enjoying their conversation and forgot they already got into school. Aki saw them and scolded both of them, even though Momoko is the teacher.
One day, Maeda found Momoko who was overhearing a boy and a girl when they confess to each other. Momoko was excited about the situation because it looks like a love drama and bishoujo manga she liked and she never experienced it because she always went to all girl school. Maeda then got an idea and told Momoko that they could become a fake lover while Momoko was teaching on Koga High School before she went back to her university so Momoko's dream to experiencing love relationship on high school could be fulfilled. Momoko was happy of the idea and agreed. Momoko then asked Maeda to stop calling her 'sensei' and called her 'Momoko' instead when they were alone, and Momoko will call her 'Dattsun'.
Short story, they had their lovely dovey moments and many of Momoko's dreams were fulfilled. And after they first date to the pool, Momoko told Maeda about her worry after she went back to her university, whether she'll become a teacher on Koga or following her father wish to become a teacher on the all girl school. Momoko asked Maeda what he wanted for her and Maeda said he supported whichever Momoko likes. Momoko thanked Maeda because of him fulfilling her high school dream, now she could face the reality. They lit a fireworks, and on the last one they held it together and made a wish (since there are a belief that if you hold a firework and it lit until the very end, your wish will be fulfilled).
On the school festival day, Maeda only submit one photo for his club booth and invited Momoko to come see it. His photo was Momoko. Maeda then asked Momoko to talked after the school festival. He confessed that he really likes her and didn't want her to go. Momoko was happy because her wish she made with the firework was came true. She wished that for Maeda to told her that he likes her, so she could become a teacher on Koga High School. Momoko also said that for her, she really likes Maeda the moment he told he wanted to help Momoko fulfilled her dream, and she never took their relationship as a fake one but a true lover relationship. Momoko then asked Maeda to fulfill her new dream, that is for him to wait for her to come back to became a teacher and then be together again.
In the epilogue, Momoko narrated that she graduated from her university and became a real teacher on Koga High School. Maeda and Momoko hid their relationship in front of other people. Sometime it felt lonely but as long as Maeda with her, Momoko will patiently wait until the day of them as teacher and student passed and they could call each other by real name like true lovers. Six years later, they were married and Momoko thanked Maeda for fulfilling another one of her dream.

Sweet Snap chapter 5 released.
So, either Haruka is overworking herself to the extreme, or she always had some sort of heart condition lying around.
In any event, it's pretty clear what's going to happen later, we are probably headed towards the cliche "childhood fried collapsing in front of our eyes" route :heh:
Hmm. Why do I get the feeling the story won't last much longer. And we'll probably get another heroine(s) route besides what we already have.
If it's true then it'll be more like Amagami if it's ever get animated.

2012-04-02, 01:17
Well Amagami made me appreciate the omnibus format so I'll be watching if this gets animated and goes through the same route
Hmm. Why do I get the feeling the story won't last much longer. And we'll probably get another heroine(s) route besides what we already have.
Sweet Snap didn't include most of extra "?" event or going home date, so yeah it's won't last too long. If they don't skip further mandatory event (because I think they skipped some mandatory events from the game and go straight to this part.), I think it can last about 5-6 more chapters.
Now I know why Haruka suddenly in pain like that :heh:
So if I get it right, Photo Kano -Sweet Snap was dedicated to Haruka's route only? While the Your Eyes Only was/were ???

Yep SS is Haruka exclusive from what we've got. Haruka route story L, to be exact.
YEO could become in omnibus format, but then again so far it hasn't event introduced Hikari and Rina yet. So maybe if it does become omnibus format, we don't get to see where the reset point's going to be. Though YEO will be story H since Maeda chose Photography Club.

OH SHI-! What. Was. That. Boob. Size. Im. Possible.
Just read the RAW for YEO #4...
It's Mai (and Kanon)-focused chapter.
Somehow I get this feeling that YEO will heavily focused on Haruka, Aki, and Mai for now. Just like what happens on these past chapters (eg. Maeda didn't even count Nonoka in previous chapter, and the cover of the first chapter suggested this ^^)
Not sure though if it's going to be omnibus format like Amagami or later the author will normally introduce other heroines and focused on them. Well for now, happy smile~
http://i.imgur.com/gk2vW.jpg
Photo Kano - Your Eyes Only chapter 4 has been released.
RAW for YEO #5 has been released. Looking back at how fast the translation usually released after, we may expect the translation will be out soon :D
2 words for chapter 5: Mai. Leotard :naughty:
Photo Kano could possible get an anime adaptation!:):love::cool:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-05-09/magazine-site-lists-photo-kano-under-tv-anime
I hope the leak isn't a bad rumor.
Update 2: Shufunotomo has updated its next-issue preview so that Photo Kano is now listed under "Featured Anime & Game Interviews."
So it's a yes or no?:confused:
I was excited for a moment there xD
But let's say if it's true, I hope it's going to be omnibus format like Amagami. Though the number of heroines are bigger on Photo Kano; 6 default heroines, 3 hidden heroines, and 2 sub-characters that also have their own story and ending. 1 cour definitely not enough if they're planning to cover all the 'selectable' heroines :eyespin:
And I was wrong about the number of endings. Before I assumed that each (default) heroine has 4 ending based on the club we choose and the development bar we get, but after using cheat to see the events I haven't unlocked (mostly the 'nakayoshi' events), turn out if we got nakayoshi/friendship development bar more than suki/lover than we can't get to see their ending. So there's only 2 endings for each default heroines and 1 for each hidden heroines.

My guess is they'll do the main only and go for the alternating routes or love route only

I do hope it to be like Amagami too, though yeah .. it's rather too much of heroines to cover in 1cour anime. If it's only 1cour probably the other girls only introduced in each episode and go for single heroine route in the end, just like other VN-based anime.

Chapters 5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 sub chapters of Phone Kano - Sweet Snap has been released. Shimapan ftw!:)
I thought your post before this was implying the release of the sub-chapters since I checked and read those chapters after I read your post xD
But yeah, Aki H route was more interesting than her L route because that 'blackmail' part. One of my favorite 'blackmail' scene was school swimsuit part. Roughly translated:
After agreeing to do sexy pose for photosession (and like you can read on the manga, she imagined the blackmail scenario that Maeda himself didn't even think to go that far)
Aki: "So, what sexy pose you want me to do?"
Maeda: "Sit down while pressing your breast with your arms"
Aki: "HAA? You can see I don't have any breast, I'm a pettanko! Are you trying to pick fight with me?!!"
Maeda: "N-no. I was just thinking that pose is gravure-like"
Compared to Kanon and Mai who also pettanko, Aki worries about her breast size the most :heh:
And just for the lol...

This might sound a bit too noob, but how the hell do I talk with a girl? I mean when I tell her I wanna talk with her suddenly a few question marks start to move around and I don't know what to do there. I know each of those icons is a topic, but each time I choose one she tells me she doesn't know about that or that she doesn't want to talk about that. Thanks

Not good with explaining but I'll do my best with example
http://i.imgur.com/Imgqr.jpg
- See the arrow bar/line in the middle of the biorhytm on upper right? That's your first clue. You have to choose the icon which is positioned above the line. On this example image you can choose any pink, yellow, or blue topic/icon.
- But be careful, the system only counts the most left positioned icon, meaning if there's more than one icon with same color they will choose the one on the left. An example of this condition on above image is blue icon, there are two of them. If you choose the blue icon on this condition you will still fail even though there's one above the line since there's another one on the left, in the bottom of the arrow.
- There's one icon with special condition, that is the level 3 grey icon (marked with hand picture but not the holding hand, the icon is not on picture above). With this icon you can press O anytime you want, the camera then will zoom in on the girl and there will be new pointer. This pointer can be used to choose one of 4 body part of the girl you want to touch (hair, cheek, breast, or shoulder), but before you continue by pressing O, you have to wait until the usual condition, grey icon has to appear above the arrow line.
- The session will end after you get 5 conversation, either succeed or failed. But if on one chance the icon you want doesn't appear, you can wait until the time's up, it will decrease the affection gauge a little but the system won't count it as one of the 5 conversation.
- Try to get the affection gauge maxed before the 5th conversation. If you succeed to maxed it after the 4th (or sooner), you can choose the "Attack" (icon with lens image on it) to trigger photo session with the girl if the conversation take place in the school, or short date to other place if the conversation took place when you go home together after school.
Hope that help :)

Thanks so much!!!so detailed and complete. Another thing, I am trying mai's path, but when I speak with her I get many tune icons but almost no hearts. What do I do in order to get more hearts? Thanks so much for everything, I really do appreciate it:).
Geez. I really hate that kind of people badmouthing someone when he/she is not around. No wonder he's having an inferiority complex when he is around Haruka.
I wonder if he'll distance himself from her again, I mean poor guy. I wonder how the girl will handle it if they go back to the way they were considering she's unaware that she was partly the cause of it in the first place.

But yeah, poor Maeda. And Yuzuki N''s portrayal of him made it more depressing, Nylon/Your Eyes Only version of Maeda is more cheerful at least :heh:
The translating group said on previous release that there are also more short stories released with chapter 6 on the magazine, so they're probably going to release those soon too :D
Thanks so much!!!so detailed and complete. Another thing, I am trying mai's path, but when I speak with her I get many tune icons but almost no hearts. What do I do in order to get more hearts? Thanks so much for everything, I really do appreciate it:).
PMed you. Since this thread is for manga discussion ^^

^ but that makes it much better XD. I think haruka's route him experiences the lowest feelings
I think after this is the confession scene from another guy
I guess the guy was some hot bishounen that will perfectly them together? :heh:
I guess the guy was some hot bishounen that will perfectly them together? :heh:
Didn't remember if he's a bishounen but...
... he's the ace striker from soccer club...
Still a mob/random character without name though, the pervert trio from Photography Club are more important than him xD
Oh, I should had said that he was somehow famous(not literally a bishounen) from the school that will makes them look perfect. Nevertheless, thanks for the info.
So basing from the pacing of the story, how many chapters will it last? Around 20 maybe?
So basing from the pacing of the story, how many chapters will it last? Around 20 maybe?
Based on our standing point right now, there are still around 5-6 main events (including the ending) on the PSP game to be covered so probably less than 10 chapters. But if they're going to include sub events and after school date maybe it's around 15.
RAW for Your Eyes Only #7 has released.
Just like I thought, this chapter is Aki-focused chapter. So they really rotate the story from Haruka, Aki, and Mai.
It was the event where Maeda accidentally see the very strict, discipline Aki the seito kaichou climbs the wall on school's backyard because she late. Maeda took picture of her and although he won't delete it he promises Aki he won't show it to other person. The continuation of this story can be seen on one of the Sweet Snap's short story that has been released before :D
tl;dr = Shimapan, shimapan everywhere :p

After school dates?
After school dates?
Yes. On the game, every day after school end you have chance to ask one girl (they randomly appear, can't choose which girl) go home together. If they agree and on the way home you make good talk and maxed their affection, you can ask her to go somewhere, though the location has been set for each level of relationship (ie. you can't choose the location). The place they can visit are shopping mall, variation shop, food court, karaoke, game center for print seal/photo booth, park, seeing sunset, or Maeda's room.
The example of this date is on Sweet Snap chapter 4 where Maeda and Haruka go to the karaoke. Or one of the mini-chapter with Tomoe/the shy girl.
Chapter 7 of Photo Kano - Sweet Snap has been scanlated and released!
Haruka gets asked out by a popular dude, Kazuya gets insecure and hurts the girl in the process. I can't blame him for his insecurities, but at least do it to a point where you don't screw and hurt the chick in the process.
Can't wait to see what chapter 8 has to offer, but unfortunately that's going to take awhile -_-.

As the scanlators put it "Maeda is a f***ing idiot"
A rather cliche event but heh one I don't mind that much, still can be irritating tho.
May have prefered a love triangle event but I can deal with pushing each other away. Figure here, we won't see some of the more daft actions some character take in such an event.
The wait for the next chapter is gonna be a long one.
Makes you think if the pacing of the story is going to slow down a bit or it is going to continue at the pace it's at right now. I mean they suddenly began to patch up their relationship and now it's practically close to going back to the way it was.
The long wait better be worth it because I wonder if the girl will end up dating the guy, and it'll force Maeda to take some sort of action. It's understandable considering that the girl still remains oblivious to the fact that she was partially responsible for why the guy is acting the way is his and what he did before they started talking again.
Looks like one of the guys here was correct about the next development. I agree that the situation was cliche and at the same time irritating even though I already anticipated this. lol at the scanlator saying "yeah, well, good job, you fuckface" :heh:
Oh man, that weak MC, i can understand he feel "out" of her leage (and now he proved he really is) but he can't be such a coward and idiot (at least ask her why she rejected the guy).
Someone played the game? maybe it can be spoiled, unless this is a original story or manga only route.
I know it will not happen but i would really love to see in the next chapter
Maeda is on his way back to the photography club all sad, he get hugged by the president trying to cheer him up as he cry in the hallway, but haruka see it from a corner (after going to the bathroom to clean her tears, with red eyes) and say "i see...so that's why he tell those things...it's all her fault...that b****!" (haruka saying it with yandere eyes) and end. :p
^
I'm fine with that. lol.
Though, about this chapter .. Yeah .. as expected, a wimp.
sorry, i see everyone is angry with the MC being a wimp, but honestly i can understand his feelings, i lived through the same issue numerous times in school, and i understand the burden of it; now a few years later i wish i could have more guts and confidence in myself but, here at least the boy told the girl about the problem, that is a commendable action and he did not try to avoid the girl too much,
but now that he has seen Haruka cry, i think he will become more depressed, and he will need some kind of help to reconcile with her, but by the story he does not have a very close friend so that he can say to his friend about his problem openly, and that is a major issue here, because apart from Haruka we did not see anyone else close to him(except for his imouto), and this will drag on the story,
i don't think he has the conviction to stand up for himself he needs a light push from the back, and this push will come from a girl who is also in love with him, but his happiness will be prioritized higher than hers, and she will sacrifice her feelings for a greater good.
Yeah Maeda is a wimp but at one point I understand why he's being what he is. I mean even though you shouldn't care about what people think of you, it's hard to actually do that. And Yuzuki's portrayal of Maeda makes him worse here. I wonder if Nylon's version will be better because these events (random classmates talked about them and ace striker confesses to Haruka) are also happen on H route/Maeda chose to join Picture Club.
It's kinda ironic that Niimi's change that made her who she is now and make them become split apart is because of Maeda himself :heh:
Someone played the game? maybe it can be spoiled, unless this is a original story or manga only route.
I did. I wrote short summary of each girl routes (H route and L route) on previous page.
And no, Sweet Snap adapted the game story, it's not an original story. Since I have free time now, I'll write more detailed version of Haruka story :3
This chapter is a turning point that make him realize his own feeling.
One day after school, Kanon's searching for Haruka who doesn't show up on tennis club practice which is very rare for her. Maeda then search for her around the school and realize Haruka will be on the park where they used to play back then.
They then talked it out, Maeda apologizes for this chapter after he remember the past where little Haruka's crying because no boys wanted to play soccer with her again because she is a girl, after little Maeda felt guilty because he kicked the ball too hard to little Haruka and said to her he didn't want to play soccer with her again. Little Haruka got angry and hide inside the bear, she got out after little Maeda said that he would be always with her because he likes her. Little Maeda then said to her that she will get a lot of new friend if she become more girly (make her hair longer, change her way of speak, etc) and just like we know, she did those and ironically that was that make them apart.
Back to the present, Maeda then said for now he will always be on Haruka side, he won't leave her alone anymore. They then agreed to go on a date to the beach. After the date they go to the park again and Haruka said that she doesn't change that much as she is still the Haru Maeda knew back then. To prove it Haruka asks Maeda to touch her breast and after that they kiss.
Day later when Maeda is taking picture on rooftop, Haruka comes to him. Haruka asks him if it's Maeda's dream to be professional photographer. Maeda answers he doesn't sure yet but he feels that it is his dream. Haruka then says that she's jealous of Maeda because she doesn't have any dream for the future yet, so for her Maeda's dream is also his dream. Maeda then takes picture of her and invites her to Photo Club's booth on school festival to see Maeda's picture that he will submit. Haruka agrees to come.
The only photo Maeda submit that day is Haruka picture he took when she said she's jealous of him. After he shows it, Maeda confesses to her on the park where he remember all his memory with Haruka back then, the other promise between them, which is when little Haruka asked him to be her groom after she became girly. And that's it, happy ending :heh:
That's a pretty cliche scenario. Oh well, at least it was a happy ending. :heh:

This is getting a lot of exposure. Even Loveplus and Amagami combined didn't get so many doujin artists working on it.
Chapters 6.1 and 6.2 from the Photo Kano - Sweet Snap series have been released!
Sexy poses, swimsuits, sports bloomers and panty shots ftw!:love:

I've been waiting for that Hisasi chapter. I love that doujinshi's artwork.
SS 6.1 - Laughed really hard when Mai's comforting Aki. Poor Aki, she's always insecure being a pettanko :heh: And Hikari comes and go just like that, so cute x3
SS 6.2 - I kinda understand what Maeda feels. In the game, the game system won't allow you to see the special event picture you've seen/unlocked in the gallery except if you have saved the said picture on the memory stick, and it consumes quite lot of space :heh:
Btw, looking at the comment on other board, there's quite number of people dropping the series because Maeda is too much of a wimp :heh:
No kidding, I went to many manga sites and a lot of people are pissed off considering what happened in the latest chapter and everything. I'm still faithfully following and seeing where this is going.
^ I can't blame them though. I also consider Maeda a wimp :heh:
True, the kid definitely screwed up bad. Now the dude has to find a way to stop being a coward and follow what his heart wants.
Can't blame them. At this point of Sweet Snap, Maeda is a wimp.
Fortunately since Photo Kano is adapted from a PSP game, it's an omnibus format so he's not like that in other heroine route :heh:
Speaking of another heroine route, here's the teaser available for Photo Kano Happy Album, focusing on Sanehara Hikari story H(appy) :3

And clean picture I found for the ad of Love Album & Happy album :D

Maeda Kazuya
MC. On this manga he decides to join Photo Club after he meets and talks with Hikari, not because Kudou and Katsumi force him to choose like on Sweet Snap and the original game.
Sanehara Hikari
Photo Club member, first year student. Likes to take picture of landscape, a quiet girl.
Kanon
MC's little sister. Still the same like on SS.
Kurebayashi Katsumi
Third year student and also the club leader of Photo Club, same like on SS.
Narita Ruu
Volleyball Club member who very, veeery adores Katsumi so she also joins Photo Club to be close with Katsumi. She is one of the sub-character who has her own story and ending on the original game.
Kudou Hiromichi
Third year student and also a classmate of Katsumi. Club leader of Photography Club and has an ideal that ero photos are the true beauty; same like on SS.
Interesting, can't wait to see this new story first hand. Hikari sort of reminds me of Ai from Amagami but only a bit nonchalant compared to the upbeat tease that the latter was.
Yeah, Hikari kinda looks like Amagami's Ai. Though Ai gets soft and become more...... dere fast. Compared to her Hikari takes longer before she gets soften up with Maeda (faster on her story H though).
Thanks for the info bakAnki. Too bad I can't give you any cookie from your post :heh:

Just wondering but any of the stories have Katsumi as the main heroine?
Or will there be a chance we'll see one?
I hope Yuzuki does her route as well, do love me some deilcious Yuzuki art.
Just wondering but any of the stories have Katsumi as the main heroine?

Do you mean on the game or on the manga anthology? I don't know if there's a chapter focused on Katsumi on the manga anthology, but she didn't have her own route on the game. If you/Maeda joins Photo Club but didn't get any girl, she will comforting you/Maeda after the school festival, telling him to not give up and do better next year.
Well there's a little bit of her past told on Narita Ruu's mini-story, I'll put it behind the spoiler tag.
She already has a boy she likes.
When she got injured so she had to leave the Volleyball Club, she lost hope. It was her senpai that helped her regained her spirit back and also taught her about camera so she began to like photography too. After her senpai graduated and she advanced to third year, she founded a Photo Club. Aki as the student council president acknowledge her new club as the school's official photography club to take photos of school's events and other needs even though there were already Photography Club led by Kudou (because Photography Club only focusing on erotic photos it was hated by girls and not considered as official photography club :heh:)
Near the end of the Ruu's mini-story, Katsumi overcomes her fear of being hurt by forming beach volleyball team with Ruu (thanks to Maeda suggestion that wanted to help Ruu to play volleyball in the same field with her beloved Katsumi-oneesama :heh:). After their first debut match on a tournament (they lost on second round, btw), she calls her senpai and tells him that she's back playing volley again.
Seems the boy is also a friend of Kudou since Kudou also knows him and accompany Katsumi when she's calling that boy. Kudou is also a good friend of Aki and Katsumi, a mood maker of their class (they are in the same class, 3-A) even though he is..... you know :heh:
RAW for Photo Kano Your Eyes Only chapter 8 has been released.
When I see its cover page (http://i.imgur.com/ilhNC.jpg), I noticed the news on the upper left. It said that there's yet another manga for Photo Kano, to be exact another Photo Kano Your Eyes Only but will be serialized on Young Animal Island magazine (original YOE is on Young Animal). The new YOE, that will be released tomorrow on Japan, will be on omnibus format, but still handled by Nylon, original YOE author.
On Young Animal Island website (http://www.younganimal.com/island/19/), there's a teaser cover for the magazine and there's information that the first heroine for this new YOE will be the "gakuen no yome" (more or less it means 'wife of the school'), the dojikko with huge big bang, Yunoki Rina aka Rinappai :D
http://i.imgur.com/FhqGX.jpg
As for the chapter 8 of original YOE, to my surprise it's yet another chapter focused on Aki, they didn't do the usual rotation for Haruka-Aki-Mai.
It's about when Maeda and Aki went home together and go to shopping mall. On the stationary shop, Maeda 'blackmailed' Aki (you know, like one of those mini-story on Sweet Snap) to wear nekomimi, and acted like a cat so Maeda can took picture of her.
http://i.imgur.com/Worbn.jpg
Not really a wimp anymore, is he? :p
Not bad for a wimp eh :heh:
He's always finding new and unique ways of "bribing" her into doing what he wants, not bad! I have to give him props.
So the "school wife" is getting her own manga. Can't wait to see it, I really want to know/see more of her.

2012-06-29, 21:04

How did she became the school wife?
School wife? You mean Hikari?

I was talking about Rina Yunoki.
Yep, "the school's wife" is one of Yunoki Rina's nickname among the boys (another one is Rinappai, from Rina+oppai :p) since she gives adult/wife-ish aura for her cooking club is open for everyone (read: Maeda and the other heroines :heh:) to relax and eat snacks+tea she made on the evening and she also likes to take care of sunflowers on the school's garden. She herself doesn't know about those nicknames though :heh:
So is she a natural airhead or just someone who's totally oblivious to many situations? I really want to know more about her since she's like an onee-san figure to many people judging by what you've put out.

Don't think "Onee-san" would be the word to use here, in fact I'd say best words to use would be what is already said, "school wife" would probably be best.
If theres a onee-chan to the series I'd peg Katsumi to fill that role.
Good point, but give me time because I'm still new to this series and I'm slowly learning the characters. Isn't Katsumi the member or president of the photo club the main dude joins?
So is she a natural airhead or just someone who's totally oblivious to many situations? I really want to know more about her since she's like an onee-san figure to many people judging by what you've put out.
Hmm, it's more of the former. How should I put it. Rina is kinda like Amagami's Rihoko. She has fair amount of her klutziness shown on the game, I mean the first time Maeda met her was when she dropped her bag full of oranges and tried to collect it back. She's also bad at sports, once she tried to kick a ball but instead slipped and the ball didn't even move :heh: But it's not like all she did turn into chaos, she's really good at cooking after all.
Another trivial things about her, hmm..... She is really good at cooking because she has done it since she was little and really have fun while cooking, she's also good at playing piano and insisted to come to Maeda's house so she can hear Maeda's playing guitar because he told her he played guitar once. And she has a little sister named Erina (http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg293/bakAnki/Photo%20Kano/Two-shot/RinaErina01.jpg).
And yeah, "onee-chan" type of character is more fit for Katsumi, the Photo Club leader. She is often asked by girls from various sport clubs for her advise and input even though she already retired from Volleyball club.
Btw, read a short Japanese entry about the new Your Eyes Only manga, it said that it's a only a one-shot for each girl story :\ But then again, Young Animal Island (the magazine that published the series) is released every 3 months or more :heh:
And Nylon posted sketches of Aki on Twitter: https://twitter.com/nylon100per/status/218684653933051904/photo/1
Thanks, I will and sorry for my noobish questions and answers. I'm still new to this series and I still don't know most of the other characters pretty well. I'm keeping a close eye on SS and YEO, and I'm looking forward to the others ones soon.
I'm going to go back and reread SS and YEO, and the raws too. Excuse me.

Ah no, I meant it was me who just read the blog entry about YOE, I didn't mean to tell you to read/re-read all the manga so you can answer your question yourself, sorry for the confusion ^^;;
I didn't mind the questions, I'm more than happy to answer question if I'm able to. It's not like I understand all the stories and tidbits even I've played the game though, since I didn't completely understand it. My Japanese is far from perfect :heh:

I really can't wait to see Rina because she looks cute and interesting, plus it'll be great to see another heroine focus. I also want to see a Mai focus because like Usami Masamune, I like twin tailed heroines and she looks like an interesting character to observe and focus on, but that's just me though.

I want to see all the routes adapted into the manga soon too. Tough luck that the omnibus YOE released every 3 months :( At least Mai is one of the three focused characters on the normal YOE, and it's released every 2 weeks so it's much faster. Even though the translation is currently stuck at chapter 4 :heh:
Compared to Mayochiki's Usami though, aside for their twin-tailed hairstyle, they are very different. Mai isn't a tsundere, she is more like innocent, cheerful, cute kouhai type character. Ah, in fact it makes me realize there isn't any single tsundere character here on Photo Kano XD
Also there is Photo Kano internet radio program with Hisako Kanemoto (Mai's seiyuu) and Mariya Ise (Kanon's seiyuu).
http://www.onsen.ag/program/photokano/index.html
Never listened to this myself though...
So translation of the other works are going to take awhile. Oh well, I hope YEO picks up because Sweet Snap is amazing but the main guys actions in the current chapter really upset and depressed me.
I know Mai isn't a tsundere. I was comparing the fact that they're heroines with twin-tailed hairstyle. I really like those kind of heroines, plus the two of them are really cute.
There are so many characters that I'm growing to love, but Rina, Haruka, Mai, and Nonoka have peeked my interest.
There are so many characters that I'm growing to love, but Rina, Haruka, Mai, and Nonoka have peeked my interest.
Yeah, I know that feel. The first time I played the game, I had really low expectation and didn't think I'm going to like all the heroines, yet now I do like all of them, even the low self-esteem Misumi Tomoe who I kinda dislike at first :heh:
My least favorite though, is Nonoka. I don't really know why but I just can't enjoy playing her route as much as other routes. And it's kinda weird how on Your Eyes Only there was one chapter to introduce Nonoka even though YOE focuses on Haruka, Aki, and Mai:confused: Maybe Nylon will make some change where she will appear again later since originally she didn't has major role on either three focused heroines route.
So it's totally like one of those heroines/side characters that hardly hold any relevance to the plot/routes whatsoever. I don't know, I happen to find Nonoka to be a tease, I can't say for sure much considering that I've seen her in chapter 2 of YEO, and the specials in Sweet Snap (her in those bloomers and the poses..."nosebleeds).
Anyway, my feelings regarding the heroine will probably change since YEO is currently being scanlated, I think... and Sweet Snap judging from what I read from your posts and others will be reaching an conclusion soon. This has got me interested in playing the games. I hardly play VN's but this one looks right up my alley.
This hasn't been listed on the official web yet, but some online shops have open a pre-order for yet another anthology manga of Photo Kano, with the title 'Photo Kano - Omnibus Album' slated for 25th :heh:
https://www.mangaoh.co.jp/catalog/288947/

Yep. But then again on most case other heroines don't have any important role relevant to main plot of a heroine route. They only appear or mentioned on daily events unrelated to main plot, for example Mai's hanging out on tennis court with Haruka.
In fact, as far as I remember, only Haruka who have important role as catalyst on Nonoka route's main plot, and Aki at lesser extent on Momoko's.
I hardly play VN's but this one looks right up my alley.
I rarely play love sim game myself, other than anime-based VNs like OreImo, PapaKiki, and Haganai which are different kind of VN. In fact I only played Love Plus which is also slightly different, so I don't really have good comparison/benchmark to be able to recommend it to other people, but still, at least I enjoy Photo Kano a lot.
So another manga issue of Photo Kano is going to get released, wow can't wait to see what it'll be about. From what I recall you've posted there will be one that focuses on Hikari Sanehara, the Ai Nanasaki look alike but is more quiet and less deredere...I think.
I've seen the raw for the Rina chapter and it really cute. She's quite a handful that one...:heh: Can't wait for another issue of her soon.
Yeah I know. When a heroine has her one specific route it's a plausible point to make the other heroines add more substance to each of their said routes, and move it in unique and interesting directions. I guess some have more relevance and uses than others as you so distinctly put it.
Really PapaKiki had it own game? Since when? I'm sure it wasn't has climatic has the Oreimo and BokuTomo games were. I've seen the anime and read a bit of the novels/manga but never have I realized that it had a game. Interesting, I'm so engrossed with console games not to notice such things... wow, you really do learn something new about a series everyday.

Based on the description on the online shop, the upcoming PK-Omnibus Album is an anthology. So it's a compilation of original mini stories like those extra chapters on Sweet Snap.
Yeah, the two mangas of Hikari Sanehara should've been released already. I've posted the link for web-comic of Love Album on previous page while I haven't found the RAW for Happy Album yet so I can't write the summary of it...
I found the sample pages of the MagiCu 4koma manga though...

I've seen the raw for the Rina chapter and it really cute. She's quite a handful that one...:heh: Can't wait for another issue of her soon.
Oh you've found the RAW? I haven't found it yet XD
But I heard that version of YOE is a one-shot omnibus? If that's the case the next chapter will move to another heroine then :(
Really PapaKiki had it own game? Since when? I'm sure it wasn't has climatic has the Oreimo and BokuTomo games were. I've seen the anime and read a bit of the novels/manga but never have I realized that it had a game. Interesting, I'm so engrossed with console games not to notice such things... wow, you really do learn something new about a series everyday.
Yep, PapaKiki had its PSP game released back then on April. Probably since it doesn't have its own sub-forum so only few active members here know it has its own game. I remember I've posted its PV on the anime thread though.
And I've written the summaries for Sora, Miu, Hina, and Raika route if you interested:

So, they're little fun filler story that holds no relevance and meeting to the plot/main story. I really like them so I'm really content with this idea and especially the 4koma you've posted. Thanks for sharing!:) I skimped through the Hikari route/focus story raw chapter and it looks really great. Can't wait to see where this goes because YEO and Sweet Snap is picking up nicely in my opinion.
The character sketch looks colorful and neat. Aki being a tease...weird considering that Maeda sure has ways of "bribing" her into doing what he wants. She has been getting a big dose of ecchi moments in the raws and specials I've seen. Is she a popular character? She look like it...
Yeah, the Rina special chapter raw was released today or yesterday, I don't remember. Really nice chapter in my opinion, and I'm coming to like her more, hope she gets another appearance soon.:)
as for the PapaKiki game It's kind of one of things that slip under the radar. It looks interesting and I'll be sure to take a look. Thanks for sharing!:)
I read your PapaKiki scenarios, they're amazing. The Sora route was my favourite and she looked so beautiful and mature in that wedding dress.:love. Hina's route was adorable and cute, it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, especially the scene with her middle school graduation speech.
Thanks for sharing, and oh yes, chapter 08 of Photo Kano - Sweet Snap has been released. Redeem yourself Maeda, and get your girl.
You're welcome, I'm happy if my summaries can help others who can't play the game themselves ^^
Aw yeah, Maeda's starting to change. Probably it'll took about 5-7 chapters again to cover the rest of Haruka's main story with this rate. I'm hoping Yuzuki will cover the after school date when Haruka wanted to come to Maeda's house x3
First couple of pages, you can see a wimp Maeda and then suddenly change and might evolve in the next chapter :heh:

No problem, I also heard that Toradora had a PSP game. I don't know if you knew that, but it makes me wonder what other anime series got game adaptations and slipped under the radar.
Anyway, so they're still more story to tell after the current released chapter, huh. I hope so because to suddenly end it in the next one will be somewhat anti-climatic considering that we got into the heart of the matter and the guy finally realizing his feelings and also knowing that he was in the wrong in how he approached it this entire time. A house visit, huh...interesting, I hope we get a kiss chapter. I'm a sucker for those kinds of things, so yeah.:heh:
Just read Rina chapter from Your Eyes Only special. I thought it'll be like Amagami EX chapters where each heroines already in relationship with Junichi, turned out Maeda just met Rina on this one :heh: But Rina is so cute nonetheless, as expected from the wife of school :p
Though the normal Your Eyes Only is on break this week, probably because of the omnibus one. Luckily Young Animal is biweekly so the wait for the new chapter won't be that long :D

Oh yeah, there's still some more main events after this. Originally there are still 4 main events and an epilogue. But of course we don't know if Yuzuki will cover all of them, add some extra events including the after school date, or maybe even skip some parts to make it shorter.
Kissing event? Of course there will be one :naughty: Each heroine has it, and if memory serves Haruka has two of it on her story:D Mai has three, btw xD
For after school event, there are 6 locations/events for each heroine. On Sweet Snap, two of them are already covered by Yuzuki even though it's on one same chapter where they went to karaoke and then to the park (where Haruka asked Maeda to push her butt so she could fit into the bear), originally those events are separated. Other after school date events for Haruka are book store, photo booth on game center, nowhere (this is slightly after the soccer dude confession event so even when she agreed to come home together things are awkward between them), and Maeda's house I mentioned before.

Haha I liked that Haruka was abit of a drama queen when she was younger, it's adorable:p
You know getting artists with backgrounds with certain prevous works you end up thinking a few things.
Like for instance I still have the thought that by the end of it all I expect Kanon to NTR her brother away from Haruka after they get together:heh:

Yeah, I found Rina's chapter to be really cute, just like the character herself. It's strange that he just met her considering from what I've read, they know each other somewhat. I hope to see more of her, but as a heroine in the main/ or own story.
You didn't watch Toradora? Most people on here from what I've found have...weird. I guess it depends on preferences, oh well.
Nice! I can't wait to see it, and many people are starting to forget about his screw up last chapter, I hope he doesn't do it again this time. I wonder how Yuzuki will implement it in the upcoming chapters considering that Maeda realize his feelings and Haruka waiting for him to say them the entire time. Can't wait to see the house invitation scenario, it seems today that many romance series seem to enjoy cockblocking the readers these days, it could be just me, I don't know.:heh::eyespin:
Nylon also write short chapter about the Photo Kano web radio months ago. Mariya Ise (Kanon's CV) and Hisako Kanemoto (Mai's CV), Nylon style :)

LOL XD Since this is originally a love simulation game with multiple heroines, that turn of event can (sort of) happen on the game you know. You can go to Haruka route until this part (or anytime) and go to other heroine route XD
Especially on Nonoka route, there are an event where Nonoka sew his loose button or something, and after that Maeda went out from the class. Nonoka then met Haruka, things got awkward between the two girls but Haruka sort of congratulate Nonoka :heh:
It's strange that he just met her considering from what I've read, they know each other somewhat. I hope to see more of her, but as a heroine in the main/ or own story.
The girls Maeda know before the series starts are Kanon (well duh XD), Haruka (childhood friend), and Nonoka (went to the same middle school and became close friend).
Originally on the game, Maeda first met Rina on the hallway when Maeda heard Rina asked for help when the oranges she brought fell. And actually, the part where Rina almost falls trying to hold boxes like the beginning on her Your Eyes Only was her epilogue scene on the game ^^

Until about 3 years ago, the kind of anime I usually watch are super robot/mecha anime :heh: But then again after I begin to watch more slice of life, comedy, love romance types, I never actively join online board or follow anime news so there's many titles I missed :heh:

So not entirely impossible:heh:
Wouldn't mind seeing it as the girls trying to NTR the guy away from the other girls, a kinda battle royale, you don't get that very often but then it's alot harder to get it work.

Well not saying it's bad thing cause I love Yuzuki's work even the NTR stuff(probably the only NTR I actually didn't mind) I just love her art style.
Just that a certain series just happens to stick out abit more cause of the fact I didn't mind it as much as I thought I would.
But do love her vanilla stuff, infact one of her works is an all time fav:D

How many short stories does this series have...? Not that I'm complaining, but with Hikari, YEO, and SS stories, I wonder what's next, I hope it'll be a Rina or Nonoka focus.
So routes in this game are more "situational" or does it follow the same flow as other galgames? That's the impression that I'm getting, and the Nonoka route, to me, will look like a blast to play. Especially the "confrontation" between them...
It's funny how the heroine formula, Kano, Haruka, and Nonoka are kind of nod for Mia, Rihoko, and Karou from Amagami respectively.:heh:
The Rina's route epilogue seems anti-climatic judging by what you've written. Is there at least a kiss scene between her and Maeda to compensate for that?
It's fine, I didn't get into romance anime myself until 2 year ago since I was focusing on Bleach, Fullmetal, and other dark anime with long stories. You're not missing out on anything really, at least to me.
Wouldn't mind seeing it as the girls trying to NTR the guy away from the other girls, a kinda battle royale, you don't get that very often but then it's alot harder to get it work.
That seems fun but since originally Photo Kano didn't have harem route/end, we can only hope someone will do it on doujinshi or an anthology comic ^^
How many short stories does this series have...? Not that I'm complaining, but with Hikari, YEO, and SS stories, I wonder what's next, I hope it'll be a Rina or Nonoka focus.
If by short stories you mean the chapters included on the anthology comics, I don't know how much there are. But if you mean the number of manga adaptation that focusing on main story (of one/more girls), there are:
- Sweet Snap = Haruka L route
- Your Eyes Only (main) = Haruka, Aki, and Mai H route
- Your Eyes Only (omnibus) = H route too for every focused girls
- Memorial Picture = Momoko route
- Love Album = Hikari L route
- Happy Album = Hikari H route
Note: L is Love route (Maeda joins Photo Club) and H is Happy route (Maeda joins Photography Club). Momoko (and two other hidden heroines) only have 1 route no matter which club Maeda joins.
So routes in this game are more "situational" or does it follow the same flow as other galgames? That's the impression that I'm getting, and the Nonoka route, to me, will look like a blast to play. Especially the "confrontation" between them...

Basically in the game you have to gain affection with the girl by talking to them, showing them a good picture you took, after school date if you can do it, or choose the right option on some events. Once it's full you can access the main event that will raise the relationship level, and repeat gaining affection again until relationship level is maxed to invite the girl to school festival.
And we're free to switch the girl anytime we want. Even when we're maxed one girl relationship level, we can still try to raising another girl's so far as the deadline time isn't met yet(deadline is 2 months, but once we maxed one girl, a choice to immediately skip to school festival will be available).
And yes, after watched Amagami (I played PK first before watched Amagami), some of the characters are kinda alike :heh:
The Rina's route epilogue seems anti-climatic judging by what you've written. Is there at least a kiss scene between her and Maeda to compensate for that?
Most epilogues on PK is, unfortunately, anti-climatic :heh: The kissing climax scene (all the girls have this scene, even those 2 sub-heroines that have their own mini-route) is shortly after school festival ends.
Rina route have good amount of hnnngh moment, don't worry. These are some of the interesting moments I remember from the game; I'll put it behind the spoiler tag :)
- On the story L, Maeda agreed to take photo of Rina's cooking to be submitted to school's website to promote Rina's cooking club (that doesn't have any member beside her). They went to book store, and Rina's reading a magazine about a married couple from French which the wife's making cake and the husband's a pro cameraman who took pictures of the wife's cake. Rina then said to Maeda it looks exactly what they're doing, Maeda's surprised and Rina just realized she just said an embarassing line and immediately say she doesn't have any meaning behind what she just said. "B-but it doesn't mean I don't want to do it with Maeda-kun, I-I mean we're still high school stud... Ah! N-No, I mean..... A-aaah, what was I saying" :p
- On story H, Maeda often teases Rina as dojikko, since she shows more of that side of her on this route.
- Maeda touched Rina's breast by accident. Twice :heh:
- When Maeda invited Rina to Darts Cafe, we can make Rina to call Maeda 'Sensei', 'Sisho', 'Onii-chan', 'Goshujin-sama', 'Dart Master' (if we choose to play dart), and another one I forgot if we choose to play billiard.
- When teaching Rina to play dart or billiard, Maeda noticed that Rina has red birth mark/mole on her cleavage and he lost focused because of that. Obligatory ' no ecchi' by Rina :heh:
- Nonoka's groping Rina breast, I forgot why though XD
- Rina invited Maeda to go to theme park as a thanks for helping her. But turned out Erina, Rina's little sister, insisted to come too on the date day. On the theme park, they ate bento Rina's made and Maeda praised Rina can be a great wife in the future and Rina's face turned red. Erina's wondering why Rina's face turned red and Rina said to Maeda that the three of them looks like a newly wed family and it's Maeda's turn for his face turned red too :p
- Continuing from above point, Maeda called Rina by her name (usually it's 'Yunoki-san') to Rina surprise. His reason is because it's more newly wed-ish. Rina wanted to call Maeda by other name too and we can choose 'Kazuya/anata', danna-sama, or 'darling'. She called Maeda by the new call the rest of their date, since Erina's sleeping after enough playing and eating.
- Near the end, on the school festival, Maeda's telling Rina her nickname between the boys on the school, "gakuen no yome" (wife of the school). Rina doesn't like that nickname. "I'm not a wife of the school, because I'm [I]your wife....... Ah! N-No, I-I mean, I mean when we're playing newly wed on the theme park! I was your wife, right?" :p

Bear with me if I ask you this. I don't know if you posted something regarding what I'm about to ask you and if you did, I apologize just bear with me. So there an L(ove) and H(appy) route for each heroine, that I know, but what does it necessarily mean? Is one focused on romance and the other is gaining affections and trust from the heroines...? Or is it two sides of the same coin?
A deadline to raise affection levels...interesting and it looks challenging from a noobie VN player standpoint (ie me:heh:). I like challenging scenarios and it seems that you could also go from girl to girl depending on your mood or interests. Does choosing the photography or photo club affect the routes in anyway shape or form? Seems like it since most games that are based on decisions do this often.
Anti-climatic features in romance really just kills the aspect of the genre, at least to me. Rina's arc looks really cute and she strikes me as a nervous wreck who gets worked up easily, but in a shy sense, makes sense because of her character. Why was the kiss scene initiated? Did one of them make the move or was it done in a situation that set the tone for that moment, ie confession under a sunset or walking home at together at night etc.
Thanks for the Rina summary, I really enjoyed it and I'm really liking her character more. Can't wait for a new chapter of her.:)

It's more of the latter. Either on L or H route, there's only one same good end on which Maeda finally gets in relationship with the girl, but the overall atmosphere of the route and how Maeda's approaching to the girl are different. I'm bad at explaining so I'll use example.
Just as we can read on Sweet Snap, L route deals with how they (mainly Haruka though :heh:) are trying to fix up their bonds and childhood past. While on the H route, Haruka is still trying to get close to him too but there's also other (comedical) plot where the Photography Club baptism Haruka as Miss Photogenic and plans to take many pictures of her for the school festival event, and Maeda as one of the member is appointed the bait since he has one huge advantage of being a childhood friend. Although he is done his part as a bait, he is also shielding Haruka from other member's attempt to take too erotic picture of her and constant events of those become the main focus of the story and thus making them gets closer again. Although there's still the drama where the girls of the class are gossiping them just like on the L route and he makes distance with Haruka again.
So yeah, basically it's like that for other girl's story too. L route takes more personal/close approach with the girl while H route more or less the same but it's feels lighter since it's filled/handled with comedy that in the end leads to the same ending, Maeda finally gets a girlfriend.
A deadline to raise affection levels...interesting and it looks challenging from a noobie VN player standpoint (ie me:heh:). I like challenging scenarios and it seems that you could also go from girl to girl depending on your mood or interests.
Why it's challenging (and at some point frustrating) is you don't know which girl will show up when you choose a location. So even if, say you're aiming for Nonoka, and you think she will be at school's field on the afternoon (since she's on baseball club), sometimes other girl will appear instead so you waste one opportunity, of course unless you saved beforehand and then you load the game.
Other challenge are choosing which topic to talk with the girl that can increase her affection level. A topic can result with heart icon or note icon, too many note icon will resulting the girl dropped into the friend zone, yet the relationship level will keep increase. Too long the girl stays in the friend zone, you won't be able to invite her to the school's festival which is the finish line of the game.
There's a development progress you can see each night. For illustration, this is mine when I first play the game and on the deadline day.
http://i.imgur.com/7r8GN.jpg
There's 6 columns representing the level of relationship of each girl. The objective is of course to make the girl stay on the up (love relationship) through out the game, or maybe at least in the end/level 6 (I always try to make the girl I target each play through to always stay up so I'm not sure. Abusing 'load game' FTW:heh:).
If on one level you get more heart icons than the note icons, the girl will be on top on this chart. If on next level you gets more note icons instead, the girl will move to the middle. Just like that.
The 7th columns means you already invite the girl(s) on it to the school's festival. Yes, you can invite more than one girl but you can only submit a picture of one girl. The girl whose picture you submit will be your end girl while another you didn't choose will appear before the ending to get (really) mad at you. If you do this (invite more than one girl), you won't be able to see the epilogue of the girl you end up with. Even on the game, there's a consequence being a douche to a girl XD
Does choosing the photography or photo club affect the routes in anyway shape or form? Seems like it since most games that are based on decisions do this often.
Yes, choosing Photo Club will make you go to L route and Photography Club will make you go to H route. L route makes you easier to gain a heart icon on daily event, like when you greet a girl in the morning; while H route makes you easier to gain note icon. So I guess that makes H route some sort of hard mode for this game :heh:
Other choice that appears during the event sometimes don't mean anything (only give different line, for example the choice of nick name for Rina I posted before) but sometimes it can give you more heart or note icon.
Anti-climatic features in romance really just kills the aspect of the genre, at least to me. Rina's arc looks really cute and she strikes me as a nervous wreck who gets worked up easily, but in a shy sense, makes sense because of her character. Why was the kiss scene initiated? Did one of them make the move or was it done in a situation that set the tone for that moment, ie confession under a sunset or walking home at together at night etc.
It's like Amagami anime. The climax happens just before the story really ends while the epilogue show the future of them that usually anti-climatic. Takes Ai route for example, the climax was when she's confessing to Junichi on the hotspring, wasn't it? While the epilogue with them on the beach feels more anti-climatic to show their future that they were finally together and happy.
It's kinda like that for Rina, and most of PK heroines, too. Best if I just put it behind spoiler tag.
It's one of the weakest point of Photo Kano, basically the end scene for all the girls are just the same. Maeda invite the girl to the booth of his club (Photo Club or Photography Club, whichever you choose at the beginning). For different reason in the end the girl wanted to save Maeda's picture for the last so they came late where other visitors on the booth are already gone so it's just Maeda and the girl. Maeda showed the girl the picture he submitted, which was the picture of said girl on her best. After that Maeda asked the girl to come see him after the school festival ends because he wanted to say something to that girl. The place is different for each girl, but in the end Maeda confessed that he likes the girl, the girl is happy because she also like Maeda after all they've been through and want to be Maeda's girlfriend too, and they kissed. It's all like that for each girls! :heh: But of course the lines are different for each girl and if you play from the beginning, by itself it was not bad at all.
As for Rina's end scene it's still just like what I wrote above basically, but yet it's still interesting and nice.
On her L route, before Maeda can confess, Rina informs her happily that there's two 1st year girls that wants to make Himawari Burger (a burger created by Rina, submitted to a food contest so her cooking club will gain popularity; the idea to participate in the contest as well as base idea of the burger were thought by Maeda) and join the cooking club. Rina thanks Maeda for all he has done for her, and she confesses to him first. Maeda says to her that she is cruel and Rina apologizes, thinking Maeda doesn't feel the same way and her confession's bothering him. Maeda says it's not the case. He then asks had she thought that the reason of him to meet her is to confess to her, and she admits she thought about that and is happy if that's really the case. "If you had thought about that, then didn't your confession just now ruined the whole thing?", Rina then realizes her mistake and apologizes for her clumsiness. Maeda then said it's okay, because her clumsiness is also one of the reason why he likes her so much. They then hug, call each other by name, kiss, both saying 'I love you'. Credit rolls.
On her H route, instead of thinking to participate on food contest, Maeda takes Rina to darts cafe to play dart and billiard to cheer her up when she was feeling down and give her idea to put a photo of her cooking to the school's website to promote the cooking club. After their date on the theme park, Maeda give another idea to promote the cooking club, that is a Bento Day on school festival. Anyone can bring bento, any kind of bento, and everyone who participate will eat together just like they're having a picnic. All heroines participated and the event are big success, as two 1st year girls also participate and say that they want to join the cooking club after they saw her cooking picture on the school's website. After that, it's Rina turn to visit Photography Club booth to see Maeda's picture (of her). It's the same where Maeda then asks her too meet him after school festival ends. Rina's thanking Maeda for all he has done for her but this time Maeda confess first. Rina accepts and says that she wants to do more things again together with Maeda. Hug, call each other by name, kiss, both saying 'I love you', credit rolls:eyespin:

After reading Rina's side chapter, I just realized that Haruka's story in Sweet Snap is sorely missing Shutter Chances.
Amazon.co.jp released cover page for the anthology manga slated for this 25th, Photo Kano Omnibus Album...

It's rare to see Hikari smiles like that outside late-game :heh:
After reading Rina's side chapter, I just realized that Haruka's story in Sweet Snap is sorely missing Shutter Chances.
I'm not 100% sure this is the exact reason, but most probably the "Shutter Chance!" moments happen more often on Story H since Story H for every main heroines deals with lighter feel and give us more situation to take more 'Erotic' photo. Sweet Snap is Haruka's Story L, where we don't get that many "Shutter Chance!" moment, at least on the main event.
But hey, Yuzuki N' makes up for it by give us enough amount of Haruka's "Shutter Chance!"-ish artwork for the first volume tankoubon of Sweet Snap. Samples of it can be found on his Pixiv page :D

Looks interesting, I look forward to seeing this version of Photo Kano when it comes out. So many versions of Photo Kano getting released, I like this!:)
Little late, but I just read Your Eyes Only chapter 9. To my surprise it was yet another Muroto Aki focused chapter, makes it her third focused chapter consecutively. Wonder if she will be the end girl on Your Eyes Only.
This was one of Muroto Aki main event. Aki was cleaning the gym by organizing volley balls on the gym's storage other class just used. Maeda saw her and he asked why Aki's cleaning when it wasn't really her duty. Aki said it was because she really loves the school and wanted to make it clean and comfortable for each students as well as future students for when she has graduated.
Maeda then offered to help her but before that he locked the storage's door and asked Aki to do another photo session for him (by asked, I mean blackmail :heh:). He requested Aki to do a pose with showing her navel. After that he asked again for her to lower her bloomer as well. Can't resist Maeda's threat about her picture when she had to climb school's backyard's wall when she came school late (she tried to maintain her image as top student as well as student council president), she did it eventually. After that Aki reminded Maeda's promise to help her cleaning.
http://i.imgur.com/2gMfF.jpg
Originally before this event there were an event on school's pool where Maeda blackmail her (nicely, but still XD) to do gravure photo session with school's swimsuit. He asked her to do erotic pose by pressing her breasts with her arm (at first she was angry, "Ha? Pressing my breast? You know I have small breast, I'm a pettanko. Are you trying to pick a fight with me?" :heh:). She agreed and did it eventually but just when they wrapped it up, Kudou came up from nowhere (he's master of stealth) and praising Maeda as the Photography Club's leader for taking the strict Aki's erotic picture, while Aki was so embarrassed because Kudou, her classmate, saw the entire photo session.
http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg293/bakAnki/Photo%20Kano/Aki05.jpg
And originally on this bloomer photosession, we will be given three choices for Aki pose. First is the same 'pressing chest', second is this 'showing navel', and I forgot the third option. I personally like this navel shot the best X3

Also, Comic Earth Star official website released web version of Photo Kano Memorial Pictures that we can read online :D
http://i.imgur.com/95a2B.jpg
http://comic-earthstar.jp/author/detail24.php
Like shown on the cover, this manga focused on Kanon and Ootani Momoko route. Kanon is Maeda/MC's little sister and Ootani Momoko is a new intern teacher on the school. Both of them are hidden heroines on the game, that will be unlocked if player has got at least one of all heroines ending. Unlike the main heroines, both of them only have 1 story regardless which club Maeda join.
I like both of them, as a character as well their story. Kanon is cheerful and playful little sister and often teases Maeda (and vice-versa), while the nature of Momoko route makes her route feels little bit different than any other route, on a good way.
And Photo Kano official site has released the cover for Sweet Snap vol 1 tankoubon. It slated for July 27th.

Maeda-kun finally evolved to a fine man. He's not a wimp anymore!!
Nope. He's not a man if he can't even call his childhood friend by her first name or hold hands with her.
Nope. He's not a man if he can't even call his childhood friend by her first name or hold hands with her.
Give him a break. At least he has gathered his courage to ask Haruka for a date. I mean we're talking about the same boy who had a hard time talking to her on the first chapter XD
But yeah, he's not fully evolved yet. There's still a room for improvement, the story hasn't ended yet anyway. Can't wait for the beach chapter next month :D
Btw the official site and Famitsu site has announced the result for Photo Kano Photo Contest (http://www.famitsu.com/sp/photokano/) you can see here:

That's a really bold cover of Mai with the Seito-kaicho. Looks interesting, I'm really loving the Photo Kano series and the heroine directions that they take. Sure I haven't played the games, but the direction they're taking feels more natural and smooth.
Chapter 10 of Your Eyes Only has been released...
http://i.imgur.com/MhkDBl.jpg
*DAT LEGS!*
One day, the chime for next lesson has rang. While Maeda hurried to go back to class, he saw Aki who went to rooftop. Maeda followed her since he felt it was weird for the strict, discipline Aki to not came back to class on schedule. On the rooftop, Maeda saw Aki laid down, gloomy. Maeda asked what's going on and since it's Maeda who lately always saw the other side of her that's not the strict Seito Kaichou, Aki didn't mind to tell him her story.
Aki had enough of being the top, perfect student. Actually, Aki wasn't a genius at all, she even hated studying and liked swimming and diving (even joined swim club at first). But being the only daughter of a father whose a doctor on their family hospital, Aki wanted to proof herself to her father by wanting to become a doctor too. And to achieve that, she begun to study hard. Her hard work begun to fruit when she got the first position on a test and after that she kept study and study to become number one, just like what she is now.
But she had enough of it, she was tired to always study become perfect, she wanted to give up her dream to follow her father's step as a doctor. Seeing Aki without her usual spirit, Maeda then had an idea and asked her to come with him, climbed the school's backyard's wall to go outside. Yes, Maeda's idea is for Aki to let loose and had fun for once by skipping the whole day of school. Even though she against it at first but Aki was happy Maeda cared about her, so for the first time of her life, the strict Seitou Kaichou dropped her usual act and is going to skip school...
Another Aki-focused chapter. Wonder if we'll ever get Mai-focused chapter again after this...
Web comic for Photo Kano Love Album chapter 3 is out :D
http://www.famitsu.com/comic_clear/se_photokano/
http://i.imgur.com/4oJuO.jpg
Compared to Sweet Snap and Your Eyes Only, Love Album has more changes from the original PSP game. I don't remember that scene where Ruu kicks Maeda like that (and a scene following it XD); plus the event where Hikari comes to Maeda's room is originally take place later after Hikari opens up to Maeda, as after-school-date event (and Kanon doesn't appear like here ^^)
Actually, there's a funny dialogue from that scene on the third time...
Before Hikari wants to check for ecchi books under Maeda's bed but Maeda manages to stop him. Now Maeda himself allows Hikari to check (because he already moves it :heh:) but Hikari knows and wants to check what's inside Maeda's PC for his "treasure" instead and once again Maeda panicked :heh:
After that, like on this chapter, Maeda's slipped and hurt his back again, so he asks Hikari to massage his back with her feet once more. Since this is the third time, player can request Hikari to take off her stocking or wears it. Either way, this conversation happens when she massages him:
M: "Sanehara, a bit more down"
H: "More below? You have to ask me nicely, senpai"
M: "Huh?"
H: "Something like, [O' Hikari-sama, I beg you, please step on this low thrash of yours]. If you say it then I'll do it."
(Player can choose "say it", "do not say it", or my favorite option) M: "Sanehara, what website do you see recently?"
H: "So that's your answer?"
M: "Geez... [O' Hikari-sama, I beg you, please step on this low thrash of yours]. There!"
H: *stepping harder* "Is it here? Here??!"
M: "Oooooh!! That's the spot! You're the best Sanehara!"
H: "Looking so happy when a girl steps on you, senpai you're quite a hentai"
M: "I don't want you, of all people, to say I'm a hentai"

Just read RAW for chapter 11 & 12 of Your Eyes Only...
Ch 11
http://i.imgur.com/Lh0NW.jpg
Continuing chapter 10, Maeda asked Aki to ditched class and went to shopping mall to cheer Aki up. They went to game center, where they ran off from an employee who Maeda thought is going to arrest them for ditching. Maeda pulled Aki to ran but Aki slipped and she fell on Maeda. Maeda instead licked Aki's belly and then took her picture :heh:
After that Kitagawa-sensei called Aki because she was worry Aki's missing. Aki told Kitagawa-sensei she's taking day-off from school to fresh her mind with Maeda, and instead of scolding her, Kitagawa-sensei understand and let them be. After that Aki himself asked Maeda to take her picture, and divine wind granted Maeda to took picture of Aki's shimapan :heh:
The major difference of this chapter is after this event, Maeda didn't invite Aki for a date on the weekend like he originally did on the PSP game.
Ch 12
http://i.imgur.com/rrLT8.jpg
Mai chapter!! There's quite number of fan-service shots of her bathing and doing gymnastic, with a hairstyle never seen on the PSP game:love:
Mai's avoiding Maeda after she reads the H-book she took from Maeda (Nakagawa from Picture Club lent it to Maeda so Maeda, a noob, can learn something about beautiful, though also erotic, picture), and while bathing she's thinking about those erotic-yet-beautiful pictures and then she's wondering about her own little figure and her dream to grow into a beautiful girl.
Next day Maeda helped Mai to prepare for her club and after that they talked where Maeda asked Mai to be his model for that day. Mai was not confident about being a model since she thought she isn't beautiful but Maeda said that he thought Mai has cute and beautiful figure. She blushed and asked Maeda to take picture of her doing gymnastic. She slipped and Maeda took the picture (that ends up looks erotic), he showed the result to Mai and she got really embarrassed :heh:
So yeah, after 5 chapters of Aki as the main girl, chapter 12 gives us Mai back as the focused girl :3

On this chapter Maeda accidentally touches Rina's breast........ twice :heh:
I thought the omnibus will be a one-shot for each character but this is good too. Too bad Young Animal Island releases once every 3-4 months, so next Rina chapter will be in quite while. But YAI vol 20 has Photo Kano Premium Stage CD bonus which cover the special live event on Young Animal 20th Anniversary with most of the seiyuus.
http://www.younganimal.com/island/20/
Also, the first volume of Photo Kano Memorial Picture tankoubon, which cover the 2 secret characters route (Kanon & Ootani Momoko) will be released on Oct 12th. Amazon has shown the cover of it.

http://i.imgur.com/SdIiS.jpg
Finally the date with Sanehara Hikari. Maeda and Sanehara went to the amusement park to return the dog suit Katsumi borrowed to his friend so Maeda could make Sanehara laugh at previous chapter.
Trying to get reaction from Sanehara, Maeda asked her to ride roller coaster but he got nothing since Sanehara didn't even scream a little bit riding it. So then Maeda asked her to went inside the zombie house, but again, Sanehara didn't really scared with the zombies. So Maeda asked her directly to show her emotion and scream when zombies appear, but she did it monotonely XD
http://i.imgur.com/MXdBT.jpg
Maeda asked her to put more emotion into it and after that she acted and scream. By the way on the original game, many options will appear so we can choose how Sanehara will scream (those options include scream like: normally, a dojikko, a tsundere, an imouto, a maid, etc :heh:). When they completed the zombie house, they met Kanon and Mai who also went to the amusement park (this wasn't on the PSP game). Due to embarrassment, Maeda pulled Sanehara to ran away from Kanon and Mai.
Sanehara said that she actually fine to be seen on a date with Maeda. After that Sanehara asked Maeda to accompany her to a place where she couldn't go alone. Maeda thought it was love hotel but actually it's a park. She meant she couldn't go there alone after dark, and she wanted to take picture of sky and stars since she also like astronomy.
Sanehara then explain some stuffs about photography and she wanted to do slow shutter photo of the stars and that required the shutter to be hold for a while before released. On the mean time, Sanehara said that Maeda is a good person. Sanehara then started to tell her story to Maeda of why she never taken picture of people.
Photo Kano Your Eyes Only chapter 13 has also been released days ago, and it's Mai-focused chapter again :D
http://i.imgur.com/5uLJpl.jpg
The beginning is an original part where Mai and Kanon was on the swimming lesson. Kanon spotted Mai from underwater, surprising her and noticed that Mai had gain little bit of weight. Kanon tickled Mai until she surrender and told Kanon what she ate.
It began when Mai waited for someone one day after school. Mai was waiting for Maeda because she wanted to go somewhere with Maeda and asked him for something. It was for Maeda to eat a parfait for her. The thing is, because her gymnastic club activity, Mai was on a tight diet, she hadn't eaten parfait for quite a time and wanted to remember how it tastes, so she wanted Maeda to eat the parfait and describe it for her.
http://i.imgur.com/4ljOsl.jpg
So then Maeda agreed to help Mai, even when Mai revealed that she wanted him to eat 2 parfaits, strawberry and chocolate, at once. And so, Maeda ate the parfaits and describe it to Mai like a pro, making Mai remember the taste and drooling. Feeling guilty and sorry for her while eating alone, Maeda offered Mai to eat it too. Mai didn't want at first because of her diet but Maeda then told her it's okay if it's only one bite, so then Mai agreed. Maeda was about to take another spoon but Mai said she was okay eating with the same spoon Maeda used and for Maeda to feed her if Maeda okay with it.
And thus, how Mai gain a little weight. Kanon was sad after hearing Mai story, Mai thought it was because she went out with Maeda, her big brother, but turned out what make Kanon sad was because Mai ate parfait without her :heh:
Chapter 6 of Love Album is released and available to read online =3
http://i.imgur.com/gZERq.jpg
http://www.famitsu.com/comic_clear/se_photokano/
Following story from last chapter, Sanehara tells Maeda the reason why she never taken picture of people.
It was when Sanehara in middle school. At that time she was also a loner, but one time a group of girls approached her and become her friend. Sanehara was happy but turned out they weren't a real friend so Sanehara kept a distance. One day, her male classmate lost his item so their homeroom teacher checked each student's bag. The lost item found on Sanehara's bag, planted by her 'friends'. Sanehara scolded by the teacher and all of her classmates laughed at her. After that she never believed a smile and she never smiled herself. It was also what makes her never taken picture of people, because in her eyes, people would suddenly make a (fake) smile when photographer point the camera at them.
Hearing Sanehara story, Maeda gets angry. Sanehara surprises because it's the first time she sees a person gets so angry hearing her story. Sanehara tells that Maeda is a kind person after all. She also says she starts to believe people's smile again because she likes Maeda's smile. Sanehara even asks Maeda if it's okay for her to take picture of him, and Maeda is happy because it will be Sanehara's first portrait.
http://i.imgur.com/ZPxZn.jpg
In the next morning, it's school festival that day. Maeda finds Sanehara's taking picture of river. Sanehara then tells Maeda that she starts taking another people's portrait, which is Kanon. Sanehara says that Kanon immediately strike a poses but in the end, she made a really happy smile and Sanehara likes it. They talked about what they, as Photo Club members, will contribute for their club's booth. Maeda says that he will only submit one picture, and Sanehara says the same. Maeda then says that he has something he wants to talk to Sanehara after the school festival ends.
Your Eyes Only chapter 14 & 15 are also released x3
http://i.imgur.com/Qrq8Z.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/nacBK.jpg
Maeda gets a phone call from Mai. Mai asks him to come to the gym because Gymnastic Club will have its preliminary contest. Maeda rushes there and he gives the panic Mai support. Mai begins to calm down and then comes her turn.
http://i.imgur.com/xUskC.jpg
Mai fails to catch the stick she throws. She gets depressed but Maeda cheers Mai and she has the courage to try again. This time, Mai gets it right, Maeda and the rest of club members give her applause.
On his house, Maeda wonders what the girls (Mai and Aki) think of her. He then comes to Kanon's room to ask her what the girls on their school think of her brother.
http://i.imgur.com/zTWFC.jpg
Kanon is doing a yoga pose when Maeda comes to her room. Maeda asks Kanon what Mai thinks of him, and Kanon says that she know everything about her Nii-yan. Kanon then asks Maeda to put his ear close to her, and when Maeda does it, Kanon licks her brother's ear :p
The next day, when Maeda's searching for interesting photo object, he hears sounds from the pool. Maeda goes inside and Mai is there, sitting beside the pool. Maeda then takes picture of Mai, and she asks if he gets a good picture, and also if Maeda wants to take her picture wearing swimsuit. Maeda says it's not the case since way before Mai was embarrassed when Maeda wants to take her picture wearing school uniform over leotard. Mai then says if Maeda wants she will do it, rather she already wants to show Maeda her true self. So Mai begins to strip and Maeda gets embarrassed.
http://i.imgur.com/fc5uO.jpg
Turns out Mai is wearing swimsuit underneath. But now it's Maeda turn to make Mai embarrassed when he's want to go all out taking picture of her :heh:
Maeda then asks what the result of the preliminary day ago. Mai says that the result hasn't came out yet but she thinks she will fail anyway. But Mai isn't depressed since she's already prepared to give her best for the next contest and won't give up. The only thing left that make her sad is this summer Mai used most of her time to practice so she hasn't gotten chance to swim outside school. Maeda then asks her if she wants to go together with him to swim on nearby pool on weekend. Hearing that, Mai becomes happy and so they make a promise to go on a date to swimming pool.
And lastly, my friend took many pictures of his Photo Kano Visual Work (http://www.techgian.jp/official/photokano/) for me:

Sweet Snap chapter 12 is out.
Last main event and after-school date with Haruka. I read on Twitter it's already finished on Japan, as well as Memorial Pictures manga.
Your Eyes Only chapter 16 is finally out yesterday after weeks of hiatus~
http://i.imgur.com/vxbbv.jpg
Pool date with Mai! There are quite number of differences between the original story on the game too. First is we get to see Mai's having hard time choosing what to wear for her first date with Maeda. Mai is very excited about this date. At the pool, while waiting for Maeda to finish changing, Mai wonder if Maeda is prefer an adult swimsuit like on the ecchi book she saw compared to childish swimsuit she wears (we get to see Mai's second swimsuit which on the game is an unlockable bonus).
http://i.imgur.com/AGM1P.jpg
Suddenly a guy approaches her, making Mai uncomfortable but fortunately Maeda appears and say to the guy, while hugging Mai's shoulder that she is his exclusive model, so the guy gives up. Mai then says she is very happy, because just now it feels like she is Maeda's girlfriend.

At the way home, they talk about summer is almost over, and Mai cries because she still wants to do many things with Maeda. Maeda then asks for Mai's pinkie, and he promises next year the two of them will go together again, making Mai smiles again.

Mai end it is, then :heh:
There's also Your Eyes Only SP on Young Animal Island magazine week ago, but this time it's not Yunoki Rina chapter, but Kanon focused chapter. But I haven't found the RAW yet >3<
Love Album chapter 7 has been out for weeks too...
http://www.famitsu.com/comic_clear/se_photokano/
http://i.imgur.com/yBt4k.png
Continuation of previous chapter. But before Maeda can say anything he wants to talk about, Kanon suddenly appears and take Sanehara away.
Maeda is very uneasy when he's standing by on Photo Club show room, Katsumi then tells he can go see the rest of festival. Maeda then wanders trying to figure out where Sanehara is, but then he sees a cosplay cafe. Even though he supposes to look for Sanehara, but Maeda can't resist to take a peek inside but fortunately Sanehara is inside the cafe..... serving as the maid wearing Pretty Rabbit costume because Kanon asked her to. Maeda thanked Kanon in his mind, and then he continue to talk to Sanehara, but since the rest of the cafe staring at him and Sanehara, they agree to talk after Sanehara shift ends later. Back at Photo Club show room, Katsumi smiles at the only photo Maeda and Sanehara each submit, which is...
http://i.imgur.com/WEQyN.png
... the portrait of each other. After her shift ends, Sanehara meets Maeda at the school rooftop. Maeda confesses to her, Sanehara cries happily because she also feels the same way, since because of Maeda she can back to believing people's smile and Maeda is the one who make her able to smile again. On the epilogue year after, Sanehara and Maeda go to the beach. Sanehara says that since that time, she's able to smile a lot, to make up for the time she never smiled, and those smiles are for Maeda.

And that's it, Love Album for Sanehara arc is finished, because next we get the energetic ace pitcher's story, Misaki Nonoka =D

Haven't been here in awhile so I definitely missed alot. Love Album with Hikari gets 7 long chapters? Wow that's so sudden. Is her route in the game really short? Any way looking forward to the baseball girl's route since I don't see much of her due to Haruka, Hikari, Mai, and Muroto seem to get more screen time.
Now I'm off to find the 7 chapters of Love Album.
Your Eyes Only ch 17 is out~!!
http://i.imgur.com/fenRBXz.jpg
The part two of their date.
Mai doesn't want their date to end, and she's thinking to hold Maeda's hand longer. Maeda asks her if she still has time, which she has, so then he holds Mai's hand to go somewhere else. They go through narrow alley since it's a shortcut. Suddenly Mai feels her skirt is lifted and Maeda gets close to her and hold her. She thinks Maeda is "attacking" her and tells him to stop... Because it's embarassing to do it there, and because she doesn't feel ready yet :heh:
http://i.imgur.com/tGFNbHB.jpg
Turns out Maeda is just removing Mai's skirt which get stuck on a pole. Mai then says sorry to Maeda for the misunderstanding while Maeda doesn't get why. They then go out from the alley, and the first thing Mai sees is the buildings around them, which is love hotel. Maeda says let's go, and Mai, shakingly, says yes. Mai, while still holding Maeda's hand, thinks while it's normal for boys to think that lecherous stuff, but she still hesitates since they haven't kissed yet. After walks for awhile, Maeda then asks Mai to close her eyes. Mai does so, and lean her body to Maeda, prepared to be kiss. It's been awhile but Maeda hasn't kissed her yet, and Mai already imagines thing, like they're inside love hotel's room and she already strips. In the real world, Maeda finally says something, he asks Mai to hold something for him and put it on her mouth. Mai feels something round-shaped and warm thing, and she then puts it on her mouth...
http://i.imgur.com/EQNK1um.jpg
... It's actually a soft korone (the sea shell-ish, spiral-shaped bun stuffed with cream)! Maeda thinks since Mai is failed on her gymnastic club test, so she can loosen up her strict diet for a little bit and eat something sweet once in a while. Mai likes the soft korone very much, and she offers Maeda to eat it together. They then part away, Mai asks Maeda to bring her on a date again sometime.
http://i.imgur.com/uGpKvCl.jpg
tl;dr = Mai is in the mood :heh:
And finally gets to read the Your Eyes Only SP3, which to my surprise is an original story. Kanon is very cute here. I already wrote the summary on my blog, so I just link it there :)
http://bakanki.blogspot.com/2013/01/photo-kano-your-eyes-only-sp-03.html
http://i.imgur.com/KureXQC.jpg
I also wrote a summary of Misumi Tomoe route. I don't really like the type, but her story on my personal opinion is enjoyable, and there isn't manga adaptation cover her route, so I want to spread the love :3

Now I'm off to find the 7 chapters of Love Album.
Hikari route's length is about the same as everyone else. The manga just use the most essential parts and add some original, though not important part. Like at the first when Maeda is tricked to sign the form to join Photography Club instead Photo Club, or when on the date Maeda and Hikari met Kanon and Mai.
It's been awhile since I replayed her route, though :heh:
Just say the raws from the 17 chapter of YEO and it was weird to see constant panty shots since the Kaichou - Muroto seems to be giving the bigger dose of it. None the less it was a really cute chapter and based off your summary Mai is pretty naive and innocent, which adds to the charm of her character. I really enjoyed it and thanks for the summary to add to more depth on clarification on the chapter.
And finally gets to read the Your Eyes Only SP3, which to my surprise is an original story. Kanon is very cute here. I already wrote the summary on my blog, so I just link it there
Just read the summary and quite a cute chapter. I was hoping for wincest but since it's based off a love simulation of course that won't happen.:eyespin:
Anyway, to me it seems after reading the chapter that Kanon definitely felt lonely and wants to be with her brother more. I don't know much about the games honestly but those are the impressions I get when I read the past chapters in recent months. Can't wait to see more chapters of her. Unlike susceptible routes that are opened to do a life changing choice, is hers too special that you don't need a certain condition to unlock? Like a secret route of sorts or do you have go through specific routes to get to her?

I see. I thought that some routes will be longer or shorter than other due to the nature of the route and how each heroine interactions with the mc differently. I played a few visual novels myself and some routes took longer to complete than others due to story and the broadening character interactions and branching opportunities. I guess the game doesn't have much branching opportunities for heroines. If I'm not please correct me on this.
Once again thanks for the summaries. I wish they would do a Rina manga focus. I think she's my favourite next to the "accidental" panty flashing kaichou. So to speak!:eyespin:
Of all adpations, I like "Sweet snap" by Yuzuki N' the most due to its awesome artwork and one-girls-focused story.
The second will be Your eyes only ( I can find only online reading no downloadble translated ch.)
The third is Love album.
oh ye the girls are hot, the plot is subpar in most cases though
Yuzuki N (i presume it's a circle) do alot of H-manga too
Found these arts. Two Nylon's art of Haruka for Young Animal Island, N''s art of Mai, and cover of Photo Kano Happy Album with Hikari and Uchida...

Yep, Mai is the naive, innocent kouhai type. She gets kiss scene sooner than any other girls on her Story L route. And she's the one initiating the kiss, not Maeda :D

Kanon IS one of the secret heroine. She will be available on the new game after you get at least one ending for each 7 heroines (Momoko-sensei is the last to be unlocked).
I can spoil her story for you, and it's going to be major spoiler so open at your own risk ^^
She is not blood-related with Maeda! :heh:
It's only revealed on her route. Maeda's mother and Kanon's father married when they were still kids. Before they knew/met each other, on the day where their parents just about to tell them their marriage plan, Kanon was lost. She was searching for his father on the beach. Maeda saw her and helped her search her father while comforting her. Both of their parent then found them and surprised to see this miracle. They then tell Kanon and Maeda that the four of them will become family, and Maeda will be Kanon's older brother. Both of them remember this event and their status, it's just Maeda didn't know Kanon remembers.
And you are true that Kanon wants Maeda's attention and, in a way, lonely. When Kanon starts growing up, Maeda stopped praising her cute. Kanon on the other hand often teases and gets clingy to Maeda even in school to make him says it, making him uncomfortable and thinking about Kanon more and more, while Kanon's reason when Maeda shrugs her off was they are siblings so it's okay for being close.
At the beginning of her route, Kanon asked Maeda to take her picture as a practice for her to become idol and Maeda told her to pose like a girl in love. Doesn't know what to do, Kanon asked Maeda for an advice and Maeda told Kanon to think about a guy she has crush on. It worked, Kanon made a pose and saying, ambiguously, "I like you."
Long story short, in the end of her route, Kanon wrote a letter and give it to Maeda, but she told Maeda not to open it before both of them graduated from high school. Kanon then made a pose and expression Maeda remembers well, the pose when he told her to think about a guy she has crush with. Maeda then asked Kanon if she meant him when she said 'i like you' back then, Kanon answered yes. Maeda chuckled, and told her that he doesn't have to wait until they graduate since he already know her feeling she wrote on the letter. Kanon just realized it and she got flustered, and Maeda finally said a line Kanon never heard for long time, saying that Kanon is cute.
Maeda said it's because it's kinda weird for grown-up older brother to say her little sister is cute, but now he has realized his feeling, saying Kanon is the cutest girl in the world. Kanon said she likes Maeda again, hugs him and they kissed.
BUT! Unlike on the other heroine route, Maeda never explicitly said he likes Kanon and asks her to be his girlfriend. Even on the epilogue, it's remain hanging whether after that they officially become a couple or not. This is Kanon's narration on her epilogue scene:
Do you believe... In fate?
Do you believe... In destiny?
I... Always believe.
My fate with you. My bond with you.
You, who found me alone and lost in the beach.
You, who think of me as your real little sister and always take care of me.
By the time those feelings have changed into love, under the castle of star, we met once again.
The warmth of your hand told me, that love... Is destined.
I was born... To meet you.
Onii~~chan..... Onii-chan..... Niiyan..... You (she refers him with "anata" the whole time on this epilogue)
I will give you, aaa~ll of my feelings.
That's why... I want you to accept it all.
The little sister me... The girl who loves you me...
One day... We will be together...
I believe... In that time.
I believe... In our destiny
After that, at the final scene, Kanon is trying to wake Maeda up so they can go to school together. Hopping to his bed and sit on him, since he still doesn't wake up, she "threats" she will give him a wake up kiss.
This is why I'm really looking forward to her after-story on Photo Kano Kiss game, to see what comes next for them, though probably I can't play it since I don't own PSVita T___T
I thought she was a senpai heroine... weird.:eyespin:
The only heroine older than Maeda (by their grade, not birthday) is Aki/the kaichou.
Oh, and obviously Momoko-sensei XD
Speaking of Momoko, I'm planning to write summary of her route. Hopefully I can get it done by next week ^^
I see. I thought that some routes will be longer or shorter than other due to the nature of the route and how each heroine interactions with the mc differently. I played a few visual novels myself and some routes took longer to complete than others due to story and the broadening character interactions and branching opportunities.

Once again thanks for the summaries. I wish they would do a Rina manga focus. I think she's my favourite next to the "accidental" panty flashing kaichou. So to speak!:eyespin:
I have also only played few VN and love sim, but I think there's difference between them. Photo Kano seems falls more into love sim genre.
It doesn't have common route, only some prologues. Each girls have main story event, but to see it you have to raise their affection into certain level through the talking segment or the sub event, or else the story won't progress. You can always stop going to one girl route in half way, change to another's, and if you're get bored you can change it again or go back to the first girl. Even if you already maxed the affection of one girl and complete all of their story (minus the ending and epilogue, of course), before the deadline ends you can go raising another girl's affection and see their story.
Case in point, Your Eyes Only. Few first chapters were rotating between Haruka, Mai, and Aki. Chapter 7 to 11 focused solely on Aki story, and then we get back to Mai story for chapter 12 onward.
And IIRC, the number of the main and sub events are roughly the same for everyone (secret heroines have less though, since they only have 1 story no matter which club Maeda chose) with the total time spent is also almost the same. So no one is too long or too short.
Hopefully the upcoming anime will get omnibus format so everyone, including Rina, can get good exposure of their story ^^
Of all adpations, I like "Sweet snap" by Yuzuki N' the most due to its awesome artwork and one-girls-focused story.
The second will be Your eyes only ( I can find only online reading no downloadble translated ch.)
The third is Love album.
For me, I like Nylon's art better than N'. And I like both Mai and Aki H story better than Haruka L story, I enjoy Your Eyes Only more than Sweet Snap ^^
oh ye the girls are hot, the plot is subpar in most cases though
Yuzuki N (i presume it's a circle) do alot of H-manga too
Isn't that the deal with love sims? The plot tends to be not original or mind blowing, since what the genre sells is the girls (character design, personality, and voice actress behind) and their interaction with us player ^^
AFAIK, N' is the name one person, not the circle. And N' is a she.
Your Eyes Only chapter 18 is out :D
http://i.imgur.com/7QVW4Kt.jpg
Preparation for the school festival, the students are wearing the long-sleeved uniform now, seems like to promote the upcoming Photo Kano Kiss game, haha.
Mai and Kanon are talking while helping their class preparation, Kanon says that usually there is this miracle during this preparation where boys and girls gets closer while doing their job. They then heard the sound of Kitagawa-sensei's scolding one of Photography Club's member, the low-angle Nakagawa, whom was trying to take picture of Mai and Kanon's pants :heh:
Mai then remembers something and excuses Kanon to go somewhere for awhile. She wants to return the ero book Maeda has. I think I didn't write the summary for the early chapter when this is happen, but Nakagawa lent Maeda his sport-themed ero book because Maeda has the job to cover the Gymanstic Club, so Maeda, as newbie photographer, can learn one or two things about (erotic)sport photography better even though Maeda didn't want to have that book. Then when Maeda about to put that book on the locker, he bumped with Mai and she saw that book, thus confiscated it. Mai read that book on her home though, learning some sexy pose and it frustrated her because the models on that book were all adult and have.... adult body.
Anyway back to current story, Mai is on the second year's building now. Her mood is suddenly down when Mai sees Maeda is walking with Nonoka, helping her. Mai remembers Kanon word just awhile ago about boys and girls get closer while doing school festival preparation, plus she sees Nonoka's body (especially her breast) are more developed than her. She then awkwardly return the book to Maeda and excuse herself from he and Nonoka. Nonoka realizes she is the third wheel and supports Maeda to chase after Mai.
http://i.imgur.com/PSkbXLY.jpg
Mai runs and hide to the gym, but Maeda manages to find her. Maeda then tells he wants to take Mai picture for the Photography Club but Mai, still feeling down, says she is not that charming. Maeda says for him Mai is the one girl on the school and she looks the cutest just the way she is. Mai then gets cheerful again, thanking Maeda, and then jump to hug him.
http://i.imgur.com/wkfQ6zK.jpg
Mai is on top of Maeda now, they are about to kiss when they heard Kitagawa-sensei's voice checking for someone on the gym. Mai tells Maeda to hide under the mat, but the mat can't cover Maeda completely as his head is still visible. Since there's no time left Mai sits on Maeda's head to hide him when Kitagawa-sensei checking the gym. After convinces Kitagawa-sensei that she's alone, the teacher left so Maeda can breath once more. They then goes outside but turn out Kitagawa-sensei is still out there because she is still suspicious. Doesn't have any excuse, Maeda then tells Mai to run from Kitagawa-sensei.
http://i.imgur.com/fHlRSmC.jpg
For the most part, aside from the returning the book, it's original story. Bad news is, the author will take a break for 2 edition so the next chapter will be released on March 22nd :(
On the PSP game, Mai gets to return the book, and she actually covered the book so it looks like it's a student text book. When Maeda check the book, there was a letter for him, it said, "Maeda-senpai, even though you're ecchi but I really like you. From Mai." :heh:
And I managed to get Photo Kano Sweet Snap ch 14, or SP chapter, I don't know the numbering since it's not about Haruka anymore.
http://i.imgur.com/JtzsWtB.jpg
It's the story about other member of Photo Club, Narita Ruu and Katsumi! This story also exist on the PSP game where you can access it if you visit the club room often and don't do anything on weekend. It's focused on both Ruu and Katsumi, but if you don't maxed any girl until the deadline, you can get Ruu end.
Ruu always consider Maeda a third wheel for her..... 'love' with Katsumi (she calls Maeda "Ojama mushi", roughly "hindering bug"). Ruu is a member of Volley Club but she joins Photo Club after Katsumi left Volley Club due to her injury and then founded Photo Club, so she can still be together with Katsumi. Ruu always dream to play volley in the same field with Katsumi, but Katsumi won't rejoin the Volley Club again even though she already healed. One day Maeda then gets an idea for Ruu so she can play with Katsumi, which is beach volley. But even after he and Ruu corners her, Katsumi still doesn't want to play volley anymore. Day later Maeda meets Ruu who about to leave the club because she doesn't have any reason anymore if Katsumi won't play volley again. Turns out Katsumi is also there and now she agrees to form beach volley team with Ruu, with a condition Ruu has to prepare herself because Katsumi is aiming for olympic champion, thus the team "Beach Flash" has formed.
On Katsumi's first return and their first tourney, they lost on the second round but they don't feel depressed since their objective is only for field test. Katsumi then phones someone. Ruu tells Maeda the person is Katsumi's senpai she probably likes. That guy is the one supporting Katsumi when she is injured and teach her about camera, thus making Katsumi develops interest on camera and found Photo Club. Maeda says to Ruu it's bad because her love is unrequited, but Ruu says it's fine because it's enough for her just to be able to stand side-by-side with Katsumi.
Later, Maeda shows the picture he took when Ruu and Katsumi had their first match. Ruu then turns dere and thanking Maeda for all he did to help her able to play volley with Katsumi. Ruu then kisses Maeda's cheek and telling him to keep become her important senpai.
http://i.imgur.com/IitHxcn.jpg
Since I haven't read ch 13, I don't know if this the continuation of Haruka arc (since Ruu only kiss his cheek, not enough to NTR Haruka XD) or the story resets from some point of the main story. On the PSP game though, in the end Ruu also asks Maeda to go home together and says, "When people sees us, they will probably think we are a lover" while winking.
The second volume of Sweet Snap tankoubon is slated for Feb 27th, and Sweet Snap is still ongoing! But who the next heroine is still keep as a secret, boo! XD
These are bonus you can get if you preorder the second volume, depending which site:

Lastly, I wrote another summary last week. It's Ohtani Momoko route, the intern teacher. One of my favorite route, it feels special compared to other route :3

Sorry for the late reply, bakAnki. Had multiple things that were distracting me and now that it's over, I can give you my thoughts on the summaries and info on what you've shared here. So here we go.
Ahem:
Mai is quite something... her naivety and her confidence (regarding her own body) make her an interesting heroine to keep learning about. I found it really funny that she learned those sexy poses, but felt inadequate because of her lack of "features" if you know what I mean. So they switched into their winter uniform, nice. I look forward to seeing how the festival will take shape and I hope we'll see Aki again. Not enough shimapan flashing as of late, but Mai is really cute so I'll let it slide since the two of them are getting even more closer.
Since I haven't read ch 13, I don't know if this the continuation of Haruka arc (since Ruu only kiss his cheek, not enough to NTR Haruka XD) or the story resets from some point of the main story. On the PSP game though, in the end Ruu also asks Maeda to go home together and says, "When people sees us, they will probably think we are a lover" while winking.
Yeah, I'm really confused at that since after looking at the 14th chapter raw Haruka just vanished into thin air. It seems to be a route reset or just a couple chapters with said heroine not going to be featured during those times. Granted we still haven't seen the 13th chapter yet so we can't really say much at this time. None the less great chapter since it's been awhile since we've even seen Kasumi in any SS chapters as of late.
In some odd way I was sort of expecting that since most visual novels with multiple heroines seems to go that route to add more flairs for the dramatic to the expected shock value. Unless if they covered it well and made it less obvious for the player/reader then all the power to them. So are Maeda and Kanon's parent's divorced or the each respective spouse pass away? Either way it's really interesting to see Kanon get a romance arc for herself since like I said previously, she wants to be with her brother, and can be really clingy and bratty at times because of those said features. Never knew she can be quite the tease since she seems eagerly willing to do sexy poses for her onii-chan... that's saying something...:eyespin:
WHAT?!! After they hugged and kissed it's not clear whether or not they became boyfriend and girlfriend. I don't know if that's a tease for a patch or update or the creators were/are trolling the imouto lover fans. Seems like a troll to me.

Yeah, I can see many people will be fan of her when the anime airs. She's adorable <3
By the way, Tomokazu Sugita likes Mai the best too based on his two tweets here (https://twitter.com/sugitaLOV/status/292702591626932224) and here (https://twitter.com/sugitaLOV/status/292702659679514624) :heh: He referred to Ika Musume's voice actress, Hisako Kanemoto who also voices Mai on his second tweet above.

I kinda forget about Maeda's real father, but Kanon's real mother has passed away. It's actually one of the important part of her route. Back when she and Maeda still a kid, they came to the beach with their parents (after they became family) and Kanon built sand castle, she named it the castle of star where she believed she will reunite with her real mother who lives in star. Years later on the date event, Maeda and Kanon came to the beach together and she built the same sand castle again, it made Maeda knows that Kanon remembers the whole time that they aren't blood related. Kanon doesn't remember how her real mother looks like though, but later Maeda gives her a photo album from the time when her real mother is still alive.
And yeah, I believe they haven't officially become a couple since only Kanon revealing her feelings to Maeda, while Maeda only said Kanon is the cutest girl for him in the world. Well, you can say that it's his indirect confession since he wants to respect Kanon's wish to open her love letter that contained Kanon's true feeling (even though Maeda already know) after they both graduated from high school. Maybe in the new epilogue of the Photo Kano Kiss game we can get clearer conclusion of their relationship :heh:
By the way, today (Feb 12th) is the birthday of Sanehara Hikari (https://twitter.com/kanon_check/status/301163685311827968). Happy birthday, Sanehara :3

I found a RAW for Sweet Snap ch 15 too :3
As I posted above, it's Yunoki Rina arc starting on this chapter. But unlike Haruka arc, turns out on this arc Maeda chose to join Photography Club so this goes to story H just like the two first chapters of Your Eyes Only SP. N' used different scenes so it's not the same as YEO SP. We get to see cameo of Muroto Aki too.

And to make it worse, PrettyAnon's Wordpress blog is taken down for good, though I don't know if the group itself is still active on other site >,<
But here's a little something to make up for that. Got these from Twitter of someone who attend to Photo Kano anime event held today where there's also manga signing event.

And by the way, today (March 17th) is also birthday of Narita Ruu (http://photokano.jp/subcharacter03.html) :3
So, Prettyanon finally releases the last chapter of Haruka arc on Sweet Snap :D
Pretty cliche, huh? Though I like the last couple of pages seeing Haruka that cheerful. But still, to think the anime most probably will also adapt this one, albeit adding some story from other heroines in-between, I kinda disappointed. Hope the anime will go to story H instead with MC joins Photography Club, for Haruka arc the story H version is overall more interesting for me :heh:
And get early RAW of chapter 19 of Your Eyes Only :3
http://i.imgur.com/l8uV6NP.jpg
Yet another original story. Maeda is going around the school with Mai on school festival. This page is sooo adorable <3
http://i.imgur.com/LTbwEPo.jpg
They then go to haunted house attraction. Mai is weak against that kind of stuff but she's happy because she can get close to Maeda, holding his arm inside. On the middle way, the crew starts to bring out the scary stuff with konyaku. The konyaku falls and slip down to Mai's uniform, all the way to her skirt, she asks Maeda to get it for her, making the crews of the house jealous, including Kudou (Photography Club's leader). Just when Kudou about to take picture of Mai whose still in panic, Maeda covers for her and they both run away.
http://i.imgur.com/wparg7t.jpg
After that they go to the rooftop, talking for awhile and Mai kisses Maeda's cheek. After that they part way for awhile to go to their own club and promise to meet them again later. Seeing Mai off, Maeda says to himself that he will finally tell her his feeling next time.

Nonoka arc on Photo Kano Happy Album is also starts on this month edition of Gianism magazine...
http://i.imgur.com/NI7dgFx.jpg
So I read the RAW of Sweet Snap ch 16, or chapter 2 of Yunoki Rina arc...
http://i.imgur.com/LNUYUpA.jpg
First part is when Maeda's walking in the hall, thinking he's in awkward state with Rina after he accidentally touch (more like grope :heh) her breast. He then hears a piano sound from the music room. When he's about to get inside, the door is open and there's Rina. Altough a little bit awkward they talk, Rina tells Maeda that she likes to do other things outside cooking, like playing piano, flower arrangement, dance, and yoga. Maeda tells her that he was into other things before photography now, which were dart, billyard, and guitar. Rina lit up when hear guitar because she thinks it's amazing and she wants to hear Maeda plays. Rina also says she wants to try dart and billyard because she thinks it's adult-like and cool, making Maeda feels happy because that was the reason he was into that, so girls think he's cool :heh: Maeda then says he will happily accompany Rina and after that they partway, Maeda then thinks he will show that cool side of him, with exception of guitar since he couldn't really play it well :heh:
http://i.imgur.com/So6mUJm.jpg
Next part, Maeda meets Nonoka who's.... playing with Rina and he overhears Rina's size Nonoka said. He almost make Nonoka spills her size too but Rina stops her :heh:
http://i.imgur.com/uFWDLCx.jpg
After Nonoka and Rina left, Maeda notices that Uchida Yuuko, the only girl on Photography Club, is there all the time, taking delicious pictures of the previous two girls. When Maeda asks Yuuko why she's taking a picture of girls, Yuuko says she and the rest of Photography Club's members like to take picture that make their heart's beating, and she says that should be the same in Maeda's case too.
http://i.imgur.com/sCi0Fs6.jpg
Last part, Maeda is walking to the Home Education room because he smells something delicious, but inside there's Rina with her face is all red and she's acting weird. Turn out she is drunk because she is cooking meat with red wine and it was her first time. Maeda takes picture of her and it makes his heart beats fast. Maeda then offers to take her to infirmary. After Rina is sober, she embarrassedly apologize to Maeda for the trouble she made and how she acted. Maeda then says to himself that he wants to take more pictures of Rina.
http://i.imgur.com/tcBvB82.jpg
Along with that ch 16, May edition of Dengeki Maoh also includes two chapters from Dengeki Comic Anthology Kiss manga, which is the Hisasi and Kishinosato Satoshi ones! :D
The first one is Hisasi, all the girls are in high level of affection, starting with Nonoka who jumped towards Maeda who just finish drink, followed by Haruka who wants her picture taken by Maeda. Haruka poses like she wants to be kissed, and just when Maeda about to kiss her, Kanon, who was hiding, yells to stop them, saying she's the one who can only kiss Maeda since she's already kiss him for good night and wake up call. It makes Nonoka and Haruka shocked (the latter is look more disgusted XD) while Maeda who didn't know Kanon did that try to calm her down ask if it's true :heh: Turns out Hikari, Aki, and Mai also heard that. Aki and Mai chased Maeda while there's also Tomoe who silently grabbed Maeda's can and drink it for indirect kiss :heh: When still on the run, there's wind blow and Rina's skirt is lifted making Maeda take her picture out of 'shutter chance' reflect making him finally caught by Haruka and Nonoka. But when he's down, in his front there's Momoko's crouching to find something she dropped and her position make Maeda able to see her panties clearly :heh:
http://i.imgur.com/s9An67Tl.jpg
The second short manga is when Maeda blackmail Aki to take pictures of her and Hikari saw them. Hikari then scares Aki out and when Maeda thought it's the end for him, Hikari who is on maxed affection on this manga tells Maeda that he should ask for her instead since she doesn't mind for Maeda to take her picture. And when Maeda took Hikari's picture from low angle, Hikari takes her shoes and then....................

:heh:
And there's these bonus from second volume of Your Eyes Only tankoubon and teaser for SP 4 chapter :3
http://i.imgur.com/DHc1J8c.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/Yx95Ndb.jpg
Still looking for the RAW from Young Animal Island vol 22 >,<
RAW of YEO ch 20 is out...
http://i.imgur.com/KF4Ko2H.jpg
Maeda still hasn't submit his photo for Photography Club's show case, and he's accompanying Mai to her Gymanstic Club's show performance. Mai is nervous seeing a lot of people come to watch but after Maeda talks with her and helps with her stretching, she's fine and perform well while Maeda takes her pictures.
http://i.imgur.com/YgasBvQ.jpg
At the end of the day, after school festival is about to over, Mai comes to Photography Club to see the photo Maeda submits and Maeda himself has been waiting for her. Maeda shows him the picture, and he then confesses to Mai and she accepts his feeling as Mai also likes him. And after that, they kiss.
http://i.imgur.com/8jKaIuC.jpg
Maeda then says to Mai that she's beautiful (he usually says she's cute, and one of the reason she's dieting and was feeling down before was because she doesn't have confidence that she's beautiful like the rest of the Gymnastic Club's members). And the photo Maeda submitted? It's obviously Mai photo...
http://i.imgur.com/TO5tiWl.jpg
The last page still say it's continuing to the next issue and no information it's the end of Mai arc yet, so I think it's safe to assume we'll get after-confession story next chapter. Hoping for story from PK Kiss not only the epilogue from the original game :heh:
RAW of Your Eyes Only ch 21 is out :D
http://i.imgur.com/Urq84lB.jpg
After confession story and an original one, not the epilogue scene from the PSP game.
It was New Year, Kazuya is on his apartment and then a guest is coming. It was Mai, wearing a yukata.
http://i.imgur.com/kRgAFvh.jpg
They decides to go to the shrine for praying later, waiting for Kanon, so Kazuya brings sweet sake for drink. Mai likes it very much. They then playing karuta to kill some time. Mai wins the first turn, drawing a moustache on Kazuya's face but after that Kazuya wins the next turn. He says he'll draw the punishment on Mai later until the whole game end so they continue to play. But Kazuya always win until the game end so her punishment is stacked. On her mind, Mai is thinking Kazuya will draw her punishment all over her body :heh:
http://i.imgur.com/e87SX6G.jpg
Kazuya doesn't have the heart to draw the punishment on Mai, making Mai happy, she then hug and push him over, smiling and squeezing Kazuya's cheek against her. Kazuya think Mai's being weird and he sees both his and Mai's cup. Turns out since it's so delicious for her, Mai even drinks Kazuya's sweet sake. Kazuya asks her if Mai is weak against sake (even the light, sweet sake) but Mai is offended because Kazuya is still seeing her like a child. She then hugs Kazuya, saying she is already an adult and she's waiting for Kazuya to "take her into the unknown world". But short later she's feeling unwell so she excuses herself to the toilet D:
http://i.imgur.com/PzkqRXb.jpg
They then go to the shrine with Kanon. Kanon says her praying loudly, Kazuya and Mai says that the prayer shouldn't be said loudly like that so Kanon goes back to a do over. Mai then asks what Kazuya prayed for, and he says he wished they won't be separated from now on, and Mai says she wished for the same thing.
http://i.imgur.com/Ay4ksLT.jpg
This manga is still continue despite all the things happened (even this current chapter's title, "Kore kara mo" ("From now on") is screaming last chapter all over it), by the way.
Oh yeah, I also wrote the short summary of all route on the game if anyone interested...

Sweet Snap ch 17, the third chapter of Yunoki Rina is out =D
http://i.imgur.com/r3PvVvl.jpg
Without any club activity since nobody still wants to join her Cooking Club, Rina is practicing bending a spoon. She is surprised Kazuya sees her doing something funny like that.
http://i.imgur.com/XqJBG7v.jpg
Rina tells Kazuya about the club condition of the club, also Rina's attempt to submit pictures of her cooking with her phone to the academy's website. Kazuya then offers her his help to take more professional-like pictures of her cooking with his DSLR camera, but he requires time to do some research for food photography, so for now to kill time Kazuya asks Rina to go to the dart cafe since before Rina said she wanted to try playing dart and billiard. On the dart cafe, Kazuya asks Rina to call him "Darts Master" instead when she calls him master.
http://i.imgur.com/hodpVCW.jpg
When he teaches Rina, he sees a red mole on Rina's chest. Rina says Kazuya is the first boy to notice that and asks him not to tell anybody about it. Rina manages to hit the center on her first try and after that she's also trying to play billiard. Kazuya asks her to call him "Nine Breaker" at that point, by the way.
http://i.imgur.com/1TCrhaN.jpg
After finish playing, Rina says she still wants to go somewhere with Kazuya, that is his room. So even though Kanon and his parents aren't home yet, but since it's Rina the one asked him, Kazuya then takes Rina to his house. There, Rina says she wants Kazuya to do something for him, that is playing his guitar. Kazuya who rarely play his guitar anymore trying to avoid it and playing dumb that he is promised Rina to play if he had the chance. Rina insists, she even sulking on his bed and say she won't go home if he doesn't play it. Kazuya says it's fine for him if Rina stays at his room forever but after a cold stare from her he gives up and plays his guitar for Rina.
http://i.imgur.com/GAx1XVd.jpg
The song he's playing is his original love song titled "Love Love True Love".
http://i.imgur.com/yGmlsZE.jpg
Kanon arrives. Hearing Kazuya plays his guitar after a long time, she immediately goes to Kazuya's room and wants to sing along with Rina too. So then the three of them sing Kazuya's song. Oh by the way, the song is included on Photo Kano Original Soundtrack CD (http://www.twofive.co.jp/cd/photokano.html), there's two version of the song, one sung by Asuka Ougame (Rina's seiyuu) alone and another where she sang it with Mariya Ise (Kanon's seiyuu).
http://i.imgur.com/OUijR5O.jpg
On the weekend, for his research to take good food photography, Kazuya goes to book store. There, he finds Uchida Yuuko who's reading a cosplay book. He reads the same page Uchida read, about a famous cosplayer named "Alice", but when he about to asks Uchida if she likes cosplay, Uchida already gone silently with her stealth.
http://i.imgur.com/g1406ob.jpg
The June issue of Dengeki Maoh also release another chapter from the Photo Kano Dengeki Comic Anthology Kiss, it's Nonoka chapter :3
Nonoka wants to go home together with Kazuya, but he says he wants to go home alone by himself. Nonoka thinks he's going on a date with Haruka so she follows him, but turns out Kazuya is only going to book store. She confronts him, and Kazuya says it's because he's going to check if he wins a photography contest on a magazine and he lose. Nonoka then asks him to do another special training like they did (referencing the story from Nonoka route), but this time it's photography special training. Kazuya then takes pictures of Nonoka as the model, including two-shot with Nonoka kissing Kazuya's cheek. After he posts his new submission for the contest, Kazuya just realized he submitted a wrong picture, he sent his two-shot picture with Nonoka.
http://i.imgur.com/AM5543J.jpg
Oh, speaking of Nonoka, the chapter 2 of Love Album is available to read on the usual site :D

Been awhile since I've posted on this thread, but I'm truly loving where the Rina arc is going. I especially seem to like the H(appy) route better because it sort of delves into Kazuya's past hobbies before he took photography etc. Him playing the guitar is a first for me since I've read and heard that he played darts a lot in the past hence his nickname of sorts "dattsun". I wonder if the anime will show that part with him singing his "Love Song" and Kanon coming to join the fun; that'll be cool to see and I'm a huge Mariya Ise fan (Does anyone remember Rabbit-chan?:love:).
Anyway, it's nice to see Rina get more time to see how she is since I'm personally a big fan of hers and I'm enjoying this arc more compared to Haruka's which to me was pretty straightforward. I don't hate Haruka or her route, it's just that it was just too simplistic and didn't bring out the "interest" aspect of Kazuya's character. She sort of as that childish nature to accommodate her clumsiness which makes her pretty amusing and interesting to read or watch etc. I really hope swimsuits are next, but it looks like it's going to take awhile since Kazuya seemed to step on Uchida's possible secret... can't wait to see where this goes.
As for the Nonoka's arc; judging from the pics it looks like he choose the Photo Club in this one (correct me on this if I'm wrong). From what I've read she's the softball middle school friend similar to Kaoru Tanamachi (minus her playing a sport), and she seems to be really passionate about things similar to Kazuya in some aspects. She's tied for 1st place with Rina in terms of heroine x protagonist interest, but having a hard time dissecting her character since I don't know much about her other than those statements I mentioned recently. I really hope her arc will be a good one since she seems to be a really fun character and her arc will definitely be interesting depending on how it's done. Can't wait to see where this goes and once again, thanks for the PK updates as always BakAnki.
Your Eyes Only ch 22 is out...
http://i.imgur.com/PuU0xZf.jpg
Turns out Mai arc has ended on the last chapter. The timeline reset back from after chapter 14 when Kazuya's going to Kanon room (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=4447954&postcount=179) to ask her what the girl (Mai or Aki) think of him. From now on, it's Aki arc :D
Kazuya goes inside to Kanon room anyhow even though Kanon says he shouldn't since she is doing embarrassing yoga pose. Kazuya asks what Aki thinks about him, and Kanon tells him she will tell him the answer if Kazuya does the same yoga pose like her XD
http://i.imgur.com/JICrAQS.jpg
Next day, after PE class ends, Kazuya bumps with Aki on the locker room where both falls. Aki sees blood's coming out from Kazuya's knee so she's taking him to infirmary even though Kazuya says it's not that big of deal.
http://i.imgur.com/muW4IvK.jpg
School's nurse is out when they reach the infirmary so Aki says she will take care of Kazuya's wound since after all she is the daughter of famous doctor on their town and Aki wants to be one too in the future, hence she's trying so hard to always be top student in their school and go to good university. Kazuya stops her before she treats him, because he wants to see her wearing nurse jacket to make Aki looks like a real doctor. Although embarrassed, Aki does it and Kazuya takes one picture of her.
http://i.imgur.com/adehjAL.jpg
After Aki treats him, Kazuya asks if Aki hurts too when they bumped. Aki says she is better than Kazuya but she does swollen a little bit but she says she can take care of it by herself. Kazuya insist to treat her so Aki shows her wound, which near her butts.
http://i.imgur.com/h6yoRa3.jpg
Looking at Aki's wonderful legs, Kazuya can't help himself and starts to lick and suck it, startles Aki.
"Sorry Muroto-senpai, your legs are just too beautiful so I can't help myself."
"What's with that reason. A-and it's not that beautiful anyway..."
"But it's the truth. Muroto-senpai is beautiful."
"H-he? W-what are you talking about..."
"Ahaha, your face is red, you're blushing"
"D-don't tease me like that!"
http://i.imgur.com/ftoiw20.jpg
Can't quite remember if this scene is from the game, but I don't think it has this. I only remember Kazuya's seeing Aki's playing doctor wearing stethoscope :heh:

Yep, Kazuya has many nicknames Nonoka gave. Aside from darts "Dattsun", he also has "Eleki" from when he played guitar (IIRC he only into it for 3 weeks, hence he was really trying to avoid playing it when Rina asked him) and "Billy" when he was into billiard. I wonder what would Nonoka call him when he's into photography now :heh:
I also want the song to be included on the anime. It's quite possible if they cover that part on Rina route (that if Rina has her own route on the anime >.>). I have the song on my PC though :D

Yep, Love Album manga is always the story L version when Kazuya chose to join Photo Club :)
And yes, she is kinda similar to Amagami's Kaoru, being the close friend of the MC since their middle school times, and both has bright, cheerful, tomboy-ish personality.
Just read chapter 22 and the "playing doctor" scene was quite the treat!:love:
Aki is such a hot tease magnet. I'm starting to think that she enjoys it, even if she keeps denying it.
Can't quite remember if this scene is from the game, but I don't think it has this. I only remember Kazuya's seeing Aki's playing doctor wearing stethoscope
Could be just Nylon taking the context of the scene bringing up the ecchi levels a notch. Could be wrong. Who knows?:eyespin:

Nickname for Kazuya doing photography...hmmm. How about these:
1. Snappy
2. Phottie (Photo + Panties) If he joined the Photography club that is.

Worth the effort, right?:heh:
Can Kazuya's seiyuu sing or did they get someone else to stand in for him?
Yep, Love Album manga is always the story L version when Kazuya chose to join Photo Club
And yes, she is kinda similar to Amagami's Kaoru, being the close friend of the MC since their middle school times, and both has bright, cheerful, tomboy-ish personality.
I see. That makes sense since Love Album probably equals L(ove) route. I Really like the tomboy-ish heroines because in terms of juggling both their femininity and masculinity can be an interesting concept to watch. Watching them attempting to act girlish from time to time can be a really blast to watch since it's sort of out of their "norm" so to speak.
Your Eyes Only ch 23 is out! :D
http://i.imgur.com/RKbLfEL.jpg
Aki is studying alone on the library. Feeling tired she then trying to rest for awhile and sleep. Kazuya comes and takes Aki's sleeping picture.
http://i.imgur.com/Wyd0bCH.jpg
Kazuya then hears Aki's talking in her sleep, talking to her father that she's quitting swim and diving completely. Aki also sheds a tear. Short after she's awake and fluster Kazuya is in front of her. Kazuya then says Aki should take it easy and not pushing herself anymore to study too much. He then asks why she loves to swim and dive, and Aki tells that it because when she was a child her parents take them to dolphin show, and seeing that dolphin swim and jump so free, Aki wants to do the same too and begins swimming and diving to feel free from the pressure.
http://i.imgur.com/SMWA5Gw.jpg
Hearing her story, Kazuya then asks Aki to go see dolphin one more time so she can relax. Even though she's flustered to be invited on a date at first, but she then agree to go. At the promised day, Aki is already there even though Kazuya comes faster.
"Haah haah, even though I was 10 minutes faster than our promised time... Senpai is so early..."
"Maeda-kun you should rest for a while."
"Thank you Senpai."
" Geez, it's quite embarrassing if you keep calling me Senpai if we weren't at school. Today, you can call me "Aki"."
"Got it, Aki-senpai!"
"Geez, I told you the 'senpai' is unnecessary!!"
http://i.imgur.com/8FgeFXh.jpg
They then go to the aquarium, seeing fishes and of course the dolphin. It's still early so Kazuya asks Aki to go swimming on public pool since he already bring swim wear too. Even though she's hesitant at first but since Kazuya wants her to relax after so much study and work as student council president for the past few weeks, they then go to hotel that has swimming pool, and also diving platform that even higher than the one on Kouga Academy. Aki asks Kazuya to try diving like her, making him scared.

Could be just Nylon taking the context of the scene bringing up the ecchi levels a notch. Could be wrong. Who knows?:eyespin:
Yeah, this is probably the case.
On the game, we can't even see panty shot on the main or sub event, only when player manually find for the right angle on Free Photo Session Mode we can see the girl's panties. Meanwhile, here (and on Sweet Snap) it's fan service fest left and right :heh:
Nickname for Kazuya doing photography...hmmm. How about these:
1. Snappy
2. Phottie (Photo + Panties) If he joined the Photography club that is.
3. Flassun
Worth the effort, right?:heh:
Snappy sounds pretty good for Kazuya XD
Can Kazuya's seiyuu sing or did they get someone else to stand in for him?
I don't know, maybe he can. But probably even if he can we won't get the song in the anime, they never used any of the song from the game on the anime. Probably copyright stuff that not allowing it >.<
both Rina and Aki are my favorite:D
Ch 4 of Yunoki Rina arc on Photo Kano Sweet Snap is out!!
http://i.imgur.com/a09yGBU.jpg
Rina is searching for the oranges she dropped below the table when Kazuya comes and calls her. She trying to stand up by instinct and bump her head. Kazuya gives Rina her orange he found outside the home economy room, he says it reminds him of the first time she met Rina when she dropped her oranges. After that Kazuya says he's ready to take picture of Rina's homemade cooking like he promised before, helping her putting pictures on academy's website to attract people to join her cooking club. Kazuya then begins to take picture of the cooking process.
http://i.imgur.com/iGk6DSj.jpg
After the marmalade scone Rina made has finished, Kazuya sets up for the photo session process, Rina says that Kazuya looks like a pro cameraman already. After the photo session finished, Rina offers Kazuya her scone and feed him. Some of marmalade is left off on Kazuya's cheek and Rina takes it off and eat it, she then realizes she has done something embarrassing.
"Ah... I-I'm sorry! I-it's like what usually happened with my little sister, so I..."
"D-don't worry, it's okay it's okay..."
"B-but... Compared to when I tasted it when I cooked it, it tastes sweeter and more delicious.... E-eh, what did I just say. P-please forget it!"
"I-I wonder if I could forget that..."
http://i.imgur.com/2U4e8TH.jpg
Days later, Rina informs Kazuya that his pictures are already approved and uploaded to the academy's website by stuco prez Aki, since Rina can't use PC too well. Rina then says she wants to do something for Kazuya as her token of gratitude for helping her, but Kazuya says he already ate her scone so it's not like she owns him anything. Rina insists, so Kazuya says if it's okay with her, he wants to go somewhere again with her alone, like when they played to Dart Cafe days ago. Rina agrees and she suggests to go to theme park since she has pair ticket so they decide to go there on the weekend.
Kazuya goes to his clubroom while grinning like crazy because he will go on a date with Rina, it makes his clubmates wonder what happen to her and ask if he's succeed taking some erotic picture of Rina. Kazuya then tries to cleaning the room and sorting all the boxes when he accidentally fall and the content of the box is revealed, which is a cosplay suit he remembered from the magazine Uchida read days ago. He also notices that Uchida and the cosplayer wearing the suit has the same mole under their right eyes, it makes Kazuya wonder if Uchida and the cosplayer girl is the same person.
http://i.imgur.com/k3RdpZ6.jpg
Weekend, the day of Kazuya and Rina date, Kazuya is waiting for Rina in front of the station when a little girl is poking his arm. The girl sounds like she knows Kazuya, asking him to go to the theme park already and the first thing pops up on Kazuya's mind is Rina magically becomes a little girl :heh: Short moment later, Rina comes and turns out the little girl is Rina's little sister, Erina, 2nd grade elementary student. Rina tells Kazuya that Erina insists to come with her big sister after Rina told her she will go to the theme park. Kazuya says it's okay with him because he understands what it feels since he also has Kanon who often clings to him, he also tells Rina that he feels kinda happy because it likes he has another little sister. Hearing what Kazuya said, Rina blushes. After that, they go to the theme park and play a lot.
http://i.imgur.com/eoGKzNX.jpg
After awhile, Erina becomes cranky because she's hungry, so they go to the a spot on the park where visitors are allowed to eat there since Rina says she has prepared a lunch box for three of them. When eating Rina's cooking, Kazuya praises Rina that she will be a great mother in the future, and once again it makes Rina's face very red. Kazuya asks what happen with her and she said that just now she imagines that the three of them are look like a newlywed family. And now it's Kazuya's turn to blush too thinking the same thing, plus he just realized the reason why Rina blushed before when he said Erina looks like his new little sister, because if they were married than Eria would really become Kazuya's little sister.
http://i.imgur.com/cXaBtsZ.jpg
Shortly after they finished eating lunch, Erina falls asleep. Kazuya then suddenly calls Rina by her name (he usually calls her by her family name, "Yunoki-san"), startling her. He says it's just like before when they played dart and billiard where Rina called Kazuya by "Darts Master" and "Nine Breaker", and now if he calsl her by her name it sounds more like newlywed couple. Rina then starts calling Kazuya with "anata" too after that (roughly "dear"; by the way on the game you can ask Rina to call you "darling", "goshoujin-sama", or one other option I forgot).
Kazuya asks Rina what they should do now Erina asleep. Rina says that Erina usually hard to awake once she falls asleep so she suggests to take Erina to children care facility on the theme park so the two of them can go to attraction they couldn't go to before like jet coaster. Kazuya agrees so then he carries Erina on her back. On the game though, there's additional scene where Kazuya and Rina go to the Zombie House attraction, and Rina is very scared because she's weak against ghost and those kinds of thing.
http://i.imgur.com/oer3doI.jpg
On the way back, Kazuya says he really enjoy today, and the lunch box Rina made is very tasty too since they ate together. Rina agrees and then it gives Kazuya idea, which is for Rina's cooking club to hold a lunch box event on the upcoming school festival where everyone can bring their own lunch box and eat it together. It can also attract students to join Rina's cooking club, Kazuya also says they can ask Kanon and Nonoka and other girls to participate too. Rina thinks Kazuya's idea is very good and she will try to realize it. After arriving at the station, Erina is starting to wake up so they bid farewell. But then Rina comes to Kazuya and whisper something to him.
"Thank you for today, a-na-ta"
http://i.imgur.com/9sJAdCX.jpg
Last page says that next chapter will be the climax of Rina arc though :\ So short, hope we'll get an epilogue chapter >,<
But still, Kazuya's expression on one of the panel really fit to express my feeling reading this chapter. Thank you N' for adapting her H route instead the L route <3
http://i.imgur.com/VnnljH4l.jpg
The July issue of Dengeki Maou still include another sample chapters of Dengeki Comic Anthology Kiss too!
There are 2 chapters here, the first one is Haruka-focused chapter. It takes place the day after Kazuya confesses to Haruka, and in the morning 4 girls, which are Aki, Nonoka, Rina, and Tomoe corner Kazuya asking if it's true he's dating Haruka. He asks why they know already and Nonoka points at the newsletter board where there are picture of he and Haruka on the park the previous day. Kazuya then noticed Uchida's presence and wonder if it was her doing. When Haruka comes, Kazuya then immediately grabs her to run away from the 4 girls. After that on Kazuya's room, they are talking, Haruka says it's been awhile since she came to Kazuya's room. It makes her wonder when they were apart since middle school if Kazuya has changed and forgot about her, and Kazuya said he always think and like Haruka. It makes both of them embarrassed so Kazuya asks Haruka if it's okay for him to take her picture to break the ice. Haruka says okay and grabs something from her bag, asking if it's okay for him if she wears the swimsuit for the photosession, which Kazuya obviously agrees. In the middle of the photosession, Kanon suddenly barges in asking if it's okay for her to eat Kazuya's pudding, and when she saw Kazuya and Haruka doing what they're doing, she goes out and close the door, saying she's sorry and she didn't see anything, in monotone voice :heh:
http://i.imgur.com/ci5kbbD.jpg
The second chapter is collection of 4koma. I love the one where Haruka shows up in wherever Maeda currently is (referring to the early part of her route where she's the one to takes the initiative to gets closer to Kazuya unlike on other heroine route), and he wonders if Haruka stalks him. Haruka denies while smiling, and we get to see some radar-like thing on Haruka's bag XD Another 4koma I like is the one where every picture of Rina Kazuya took is marked as "Erotic". I laugh because it happens quite often on the game too XDD
http://i.imgur.com/lLjgBbO.jpg
Oh yeah, the third chapter of Nonoka arc on Photo Kano Love Album is available on the official site too. You might want to save/rip it before they take them down like Hikari arc which I just realized now only the first chapter is available to read online :heh:

Chapter 24 of Your Eyes Only is out :D
http://i.imgur.com/vXLsDtK.jpg
Continuation of previous chapter, Aki asks if Kazuya wants to try diving like her. Kazuya says he wants to try it and Aki giggles seeing him trying to look okay with it even if he's obviously trembling out of fear. In the diving board, Kazuya become more afraid because it's so high, and Aki says that it's okay if Kazuya doesn't dive and just see, as she wants Kazuya too look her doing thing she likes on their date. Aki then asks Kazuya to hold her glasses and dive, Kazuya takes picture of her.
http://i.imgur.com/xOYsMhn.jpg
Aki dives gracefully but Kazuya notices something above, Aki's swimsuit's top was came off. Kazuya's trying to tell her but Aki didn't hear it, but she notices it herself and tries to find her top. Because she doesn't wear her glasses Aki can't find it. Kazuya is trying to tell her again to wait for him come down to get it for her, but Kazuya slipped and fall off from the diving board. Kazuya finds Aki's top eventually.
http://i.imgur.com/Qga4lIJ.jpg
"I FOUND IT!! I FOUND YOUR BRA, SENPAI!"
"H-hey!! Don't say it loudly!!"
"Huh? What is it? I can't hear you"
"D-DON'T LOOK AT THIS WAY!!"
http://i.imgur.com/JoW83Kc.jpg
They then continue their date to seaside. There, Aki makes a resolve and screams that she will once again try diving she once give up. Kazuya then follows, saying that he will try to go to the same college as Aki. But he's not so sure with his quality since his grade are so-so, and so Aki says that she will help him by giving him private study session.

Anyone know why Haruka has that Dragonite/yandere look? Seems out of character from what I've read in the manga.
It's probably a joke. Since Haruka likes Kazuya from the beginning, unlike on most other heroines arc where Kazuya's the one who make move, on Haruka arc (especially the story L) it was mostly her who tries to get close to Kazuya and ask him to take picture of her so they can get along like when they were children :heh:
Last chapter of Yunoki arc from Photo Kano Sweet Snap is out :D
http://i.imgur.com/JBzGyrc.jpg
During break, Rina speaks in speaker through out the academy, informing her Cooking Club will held the Bento Days event on school festival like Kazuya suggested. On school festival day, before the event started, there's two first year students come to Rina and Kazuya, asking if it's okay for them to join Rina's club even though they aren't that good in cooking, Rina is happy that her club will finally have another members.
http://i.imgur.com/Xz0Ythy.jpg
Aside from those two first years, there are many students who participated on Rina's event, including other heroines who brought their own lunch box, even Kazuya made some simple onigiri.
http://i.imgur.com/fyzPAj8.jpg
Kazuya then asks Rina to wait for him after the festival end on home economy room because he wants to tell her something. After that Kazuya goes to his Photography Club showcase. The day is about to end but Photography Club is still cleaning up, but then Kudou tells Kazuya that it's okay for him to leave the clean up to other member and he can meet Rina. On his way to home economy room, Kazuya is wondering how Kudou knows about his plan with Rina :heh: On the home economy club, Kazuya finally confess to Rina.
http://i.imgur.com/689Tv1R.jpg
"Yunoki-san... W-will you be my bride?"
Rina then hugs Kazuya and tells that she likes Kazuya too. She's happy because the superstition about letting a boy she likes to know about her mole on her breast is true. Kazuya then asks Rina to close her eyes, and when she thinks she will have her first kiss, Kazuya then...
http://i.imgur.com/1MITZzB.jpg
... kiss her mole :heh: But Rina doesn't mind at all and says that she likes him.

Nonoka made cookies for Kazuya with Rina's help, but when she finds Kazuya and want to give it to him, turns out Kazuya is talking with Haruka so she runs from the two of them feeling awkward. Kazuya is trying to find Nonoka after Haruka told him too, and on 2-A class, Kazuya meets Rina who asks about Nonoka's cake. Kazuya realizes that Nonoka was about to give him her handmade cookies so he lies to Rina that he ate it and it was good. When Kazuya finally meets Nonoka, she tells Kazuya that those cookies are made for her teammates on Softball Club, not for Kazuya, so he lets it go.
Days later, Kanon tells Kazuya that Nonoka is acting weird so Kazuya searches for Nonoka again. He finds Nonoka on the riverside, throwing rock. Nonoka then tells him that their Rise Ball practice was fun, but she had enough and want to stop, even though Kazuya knows that Nonoka is so close to master the technique. Nonoka tells that she doesn't want their practice to end because it means their time together will end and they will back to like they were before their practice. Kazuya tells her that they won't and he will always make time to spend with Nonoka, and he tells them to try image practice throwing Rise Ball again. After that, Nonoka asks Kazuya to go to sea together.

Nope. That guy is Katsumi's senpai, the one who supported and cheered Katsumi when she was injured and had to quit Volley Club. He also likes photography, and a friend of Kudou but not into borderline erotic stuff like him. In fact, the reason Katsumi likes photography and founded Photo Club was because his influence. Katsumi said that Kazuya reminds her of him.
On the game Katsumi only talked with him on the phone. But Kazuya did think Katsumi and Kudou are going out before Narita immediately correct him.
Your Eyes Only ch 25 is out =D
http://i.imgur.com/glZiW2C.jpg
Days after their date, Kazuya hears girls talking when he's walking around the pool, including the voice of Aki. When he goes inside, Aki is wearing her old Swimming Club's swimsuit.
http://i.imgur.com/8zzxQ1m.jpg
Kazuya is surprises how fast Aki is back to her diving hobby, and Aki says that she now understand she shouldn't push herself too hard and enjoy the thing she likes, and she also says it's because there is someone told her that she looks the best when she's swimming. After that Kazuya asks Aki to come to see his picture on Photography Club showcase on school festival.
http://i.imgur.com/8Gxx0NY.jpg
On the school festival, when he's wandering around Katsumi is asking Kazuya for his help on her Photo Club event by becoming a model. Pulled by Katsumi, on Photo Club club room, there is Aki's wearing a prince costume. Apparently Aki is also asked by Katsumi to be her model since the original models couldn't make it. Katsumi then forced Kazuya to change.
http://i.imgur.com/ijEvOxs.jpg
Into Cinderella!! :heh:
Katsumi asks Kazuya and Aki to reenact the scene of Cinderella fairy tale where the prince is about to kiss Cinderella to wake her up, and visitors can take picture of it. Turns out Photo Club event is a huge success and it makes Kudou curious and take a peek. He is surprised to see Aki and Kazuya cosplaying.
http://i.imgur.com/LWjCxcK.jpg
Even while their pictures are taken, Kazuya still asks Aki to take her picture. Even though she hesitates as first, after Kazuya says that he wants to take her picture as a lovely prince Aki agrees.
http://i.imgur.com/ie8KCCi.jpg
After that Aki tells Kazuya to close his eyes again as he supposed to be sleeping Cinderella. Kudou then decides to prank Kazuya, who helped Photo Club which supposed to be their rival as Photography Club members, by throwing spider toy. Seeing the spider on Kazuya's head Aki screams and Kazuya gets up by instinct, resulting an accidental kiss.
http://i.imgur.com/itmNKrK.jpg
They go out of the club room for awhile to calm down, and Kazuya apologizes to Aki. Aki says that she doesn't mind it at all since Kazuya gives him something wonderful to remember on her last school festival.
"Ah then I too won't min--"
"Maeda-kun should mind it! After all Maeda-kun is the one who took my first kiss""
"EH?! EEEH?!!"

Even though it's late, here's summary for Your Eyes Only ch 26!
http://i.imgur.com/PpEUR3C.jpg
Continuing from last chapter, Kazuya and Aki is sight seeing the school festival. Kazuya then wants to try to see Nonoka and Rina class's Magical Cafe. Inside, they meet Haruka and Rina who wears Pretty Rabbit costume Aki gives him a cold stare when she notices Kazuya is looking at Haruka.
http://i.imgur.com/Q3X4mbi.jpg
Kazuya provokes Aki and she then take his bait, wearing the Pretty Rabbit costume as well.
http://i.imgur.com/DCIWTVQ.jpg
After that, they go to Photography Club's show case gallery where Kazuya shows Aki the picture he took, which is her picture when they went on a date to swimming pool.
http://i.imgur.com/g90dzfc.jpg
Aki doesn't mind her picture is displayed like that, it's just she doesn't believe Kazuya picture could show her other side she never thought she had. Kazuya then says it's not magic, his picture just take what she feels inside. After that Kazuya confess to him, that at first he thought Aki is such a strict person but after knowing her more, learn her other side and weakness, the Aki inside her camera shines more and more and he falls in love with her. Aki's starting to cry.
http://i.imgur.com/OOM50Wi.jpg
Seeing Aki cries, Kazuya apologies to her but she says it's tear of joy because she is happy to be confessed by him. Aki says that actually she was about to confess first to Kazuya when they went on a date, but thinking that she is about to graduate and they won't have much time to meet each other after that, she will think it will be selfish and bother Kazuya so she held back. But now after hearing Kazuya's confession, she can say it that she also likes him. Then under the firework they kiss.
http://i.imgur.com/BFfwlrm.jpg
"Is it okay, even though you're a student council president?"
"There isn't any school regulation for kissing, you know. So, once more..."
And they kiss again.
And following that, turns out Rina arc from Sweet Snap manga has an epilogue chapter!
This chapter is actually adapted from one of event from Rina's Love Love Days new story (www.youtube.com/watch?v=98QGUhyH1vY) from PS Vita game.
http://i.imgur.com/gxQnqNv.jpg
Kazuya and Rina is going home together but because of heavy rain, they go to Kazuya's home to take shelter.
http://i.imgur.com/XPYKPZS.jpg
No one is home yet, after giving Rina a towel to dry herself, Kazuya gives her his shirt because Kanon's clothes won't fit on her (mostly because her breast :heh:). Rina then change on Kazuya's room while he waits outside, anxiously imagining his girlfriend is changing inside his room. Rina then tell him that it's okay for Kazuya to come inside. Rina only wears Kazuya's shirt!
http://i.imgur.com/xSrDSLg.jpg
Kazuya is excited to see Rina, while she says it's a bit cold without wearing any lower clothes but Kazuya says she already looks fine without it (:heh:) and since no body is home yet, he asks to take her picture.
http://i.imgur.com/9Q96QxA.jpg
After the private photo session is done, Kazuya thanks Rina because he's able to take good picture (:p). Rina says that now they've became a lover, her heart is beating faster whenever Kazuya is taking her picture. Then Rina says when she sees Kazuya's looking at her from his camera, to Rina it looks like Kazuya is watching over her and it makes her very happy. Both of them then say they love each other, make out, and say they want to be with each other forever.

And lastly, here's some LQ preview for Dengeki Anthology Kiss anthology manga I took...

Photo Kano Your Eyes Only ch 27 is out, for about 2 weeks ago but I forgot to post it here :heh: By the way, turns out it's not the last chapter like I thought, last page of this chapter still says it's to be continued :D
http://i.imgur.com/jb1JVWh.jpg
Kazuya invites Aki, now his girlfriend, to his house so she can teaches him so he can go to the same college like her like he promised. But during their study, Kazuya always look sleepy and can't concentrate. Aki asks Kazuya if he woke up all night browsing for porn on the net, which he denies. Feeling Kazuya is hiding something from her, Aki asks him to kiss her like on the school festival days ago.
http://i.imgur.com/cFeFHMz.jpg
"I was very happy on the school festival. Plus this is my first time coming to boys room, but Maeda-kun is always look sleepy. What a let down."
Giving up, Kazuya then gives up and about to kiss Aki.
"(What took him so long?)"
"(Calm down, me. You've done it before, haven't you.)"
http://i.imgur.com/BeJF2A8.jpg
"O, ooh! Go get her, Niiyan!"
Kanon teases Kazuya and Aki that there is this rumor that they were kissing on school festival. Aki is surprised to hear that there's a rumor like that, but she confirms it's true to Kanon since Aki and Kazuya didn't really try to be secretive about their relationship.
Seeing Kanon wearing witch costume, Kazuya then invites Aki to go down stair where the thing Kazuya is hiding from Aki is he and Kanon trying to hold a Halloween party with Aki as their special guest.
http://i.imgur.com/WpnJatH.jpg
Kanon then say that she forget the cake she ordered so she will go out to take it since Kazuya's girlfriend is their guest she can't ask Kazuya to take it and leave his girlfriend. Before going out, Kanon then bows to Aki, playing the role of Kazuya's mother.
http://i.imgur.com/dQKxtmb.jpg
"Please take care of my Niiyan, Muroto-senpai."
Outside, turns out Kanon didn't forget the cake, she just wants to give Kazuya and Aki some space and Kanon herself going to convenience store to kill time.
Meanwhile, Aki is surprised when Kazuya's missing and the light is suddenly out. Kazuya then comes back to Aki, but wearing a dracula costume. Playing as dracula, he welcomes Aki once again to his castle and then kiss her, after that he's doing what dracula does to Aki :heh:
"Until Kanon comes home, I won't let you go."
"Geez, what a pervert dracula."
