And I'd like to post 2 events I like the most from her route which unfortunately both didn't make it on the anime.

First one is the foot-massage event:

Spoiler for Foot massage:

This is the third version of story L's LV6 after school date. The first version, Maeda and Sanehara goes to park near Maeda's house (the promised park on Haruka route) to take picture. But when taking picture, Sanehara's stocking is ripped so Maeda offer her to come to his house to take it off. Kanon isn't home yet.

"Is it okay for you it's just two of us? Isn't it kinda dangerous for girl and boy alone?"
"It's fine for me. Or is senpai plans to do something to me?"
"O-of course not!"

They go to Maeda's room and Maeda goes out until Sanehara finish taking off her stocking. They're talking for awhile and when moving to take Sanehara's bare legs picture (after her permission), he hurted his back so Sanehara foot-massage him. The second time Sanehara comes to his house, Sanehara curious to check Kazuya's collection below the bed.

"I don't have that kind of book!!"
"Hmm, you don't? What about inside your PC? There must be tons of "treasure" inside a folder. I'll check it."
"H-hey! Stop it!!!"

When he tries to stop Sanehara, Maeda slips and just like before he hurts his back again so Sanehara gives him yet another foot-massage. The third time is the funniest for me. Sanehara comes to Maeda's house again and just like the two times before, Kanon hasn't arrived yet.

"I wonder why Kanon always late everytime I invited you here."
"Stop it, I have prepared myself that it comes to this again."
"W-what with that, you make me like I purposely did this. I-it's just coincident!"
"Senpai just makes it more sounds like a lie."
"Geez..."

They then go to Maeda's room.

"Want to see my PC? I can proove I don't have H pictures."
"I don't have any interest to check your PC after I've suspected you the last time. You must be put it on hidden folders."
"Y-you..."
"Senpai, can I see your photo album instead? I want to see Senpai pictures when you were a kid."
"T-that would be embarrassing. Oh but okay, you can look at it but you have to give me foot-massage first."
"Again?"
"My back is still kinda hurt sometimes, your foot-massage can make my life easier."
"What's with that line, are you an old man?"
"C'mon, please?"
"... Haaah, fine then."
"And can you please take off your stocking?"
"HAAAH? Why I should take it off?"
"Because it makes your grip more stronger. Pretty please? Okay?"
"...... out."
"Huh?"
"I'LL TAKE IT OFF SO PLEASE GO OUT!"
".............. Sanehara, you done yet?"
"NOT YET! Geez, please don't rush me."
"....."
"You can come now."
"Uoooo! No matter many times I've seen it, your bare-legs is awesome."
"D-don't tell me that's why you want me to take it off?"
"Of cours not, it's for the grip."
"Geez... Then, lay beside the bed like always."

Sanehara then starts to massage Maeda again.

"Oooh, nice. You've became better and better, Sanehara."
"EVen if you compliment me like that, I won't be happy. Instead, to look that happy being step on like this, Senpai, are you a hentai?"
"I'm not a hentai."
"From my view point, you are enough to be called a hentai."
"At this time, you can call me hentai or whatever, but can you go lower? That's where it pains the most."
"Lower, huh? Fu fu fu..."
"(W-why is she laughing?)"
"If you beg for it, then I'll do it."
"B-beg?"
"For example... "Oh Hikari-sama, please step on the filthy back of this trash". If you say that, I'll do it."
"Err Sanehara... Lately, what kind of website did you visit?"
"... If you don't say it then I won't do it."
"Ugh... Argh geez, Hi-Hikari-sama, please step on the filthy back of this trash!!"
"Fufufu. Here? Huh? Here?!!"
"Uh, uoo! That's the spot! Uooo, Hikari-samaaaa!!"
"Senpai... You look like an idiot."
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE ME SAY IT!!"

The second one is ice cream event :3

Spoiler for Ice cream:

From the last event from her story H, before Maeda asks Sanehara to visit the Photography Club display on school festival (last flag).

Maeda is about to come home when he meets Sanehara in front of his class, so then he asks her to go home together. They talk about the school festival for each club's event, Maeda doesn't know anything about what Photography Club does (if you don't go to Haruka route, the setting is Maeda doesn't know anything about Miss Photogenic event until very late) and he plans to submit one picture he likes the most and she wants Sanehara to come see it. Sanehara comments that even if he does't invite her, since they are basically helding same event she will come see it, but now she promises to definitely sees Maeda's picture. After that Sanehara's phone is ringing, she got text from Uchida informing the food court on shopping plaza has new tasty vanilla ice cream. So then they go to the place to try it.

While eating the ice cream, Maeda asks about Sanehara relationship with Uchida. Sanehara tells that she and Uchida gets along quite well since they have same interest on photography, though they don't always together since Sanehara doesn't like to hang out with girls due to her past (on story H, Sanehara never told Maeda her true reason why she hates taking picture of people and the 'fake' smile). After that, Sanehara notices something funny on Maeda.

"Buh..."
"Hm? What is it?"
"Fufu, Senpai. You have ice cream on your cheek."
"Eeh?"
"Fufufu, you're not that children anymore."
"I-I don't want you all of people to tell me that! You're the childish one, easily have ketchup in your cheek whenever you eat burger!"
"That's just because the burger is too big, I'm not childish."
"No, you are."
"Geez, just because I have small mouth you're saying I'm childish. Then how about this..."

Sanehara then suddenly approach Maeda and then eats the cream on his cheek, strartling him.

"(Uoo!!)"
"How about that? It's not childish, is it?"
"... U-uh. That was embarrassing"
"I-I feel the same way."
"..... Ugh..."

Maeda then eats his ice cream again, but now he purposely left some on his cheek.

"Senpai, why are you eating like that?"
"Sa-Sanehara, can you do it one more?"
"No way. Second time would be too embarrassing."
"Please."
"Instead of childish, now you're just look idiotic."
"Call me whatevery you want, just please do it again. Okay?"
"... Haaah. It can't be helped."

Sanehara then licks the ice cream on Maeda's cheek again.

"Sanehara... I..."
"Don't mind it, Senpai. I did it on my free will."
"Sanehara..."
"But Senpai is really a weirdo after all..."
"I don't want you of all people to say that."
"Fufu..."

Nothing anybody says will change that. It's mean to force portraiture on people who'd rather shoot flowers and cats.

For what it's worth, Sanehara doesn't really tell him to stop making her take picture of human, does she? If Kazuya really cross the line, she can just tell him to go away or get mad. And besides, Kazuya tells her to take picture of himself, not any random people, because he won't do the fake smile Sanehara hates ^^

Kazuya does go over the top with his stupidity this episode (really, shamelessly doing cat impression in front of both Photo and Photography Club? ), but for his assertiveness to gets closer to the girls to solve their problemm, that what he acts most of the time on most routes. I think the exception where he doesn't do that way is on Haruka and Kanon route.

And with how they rushed Sanehara arc, Aki, Mai, and Nonoka arc should be better since the three of them had more screen time on 4 introduction episodes. Rina and Tomoe on the other hand, may suffer the same fate of Sanehara arc >.>
