Some people say girls in the real world are impossible to reason with, that most of them only think about themselves, self-centered, never considering anyone else. But everything is relative. There are also women who get so lost in love they can’t pull themselves out—possessive, jealous, but also kind-hearted and carrying a huge guilt complex, especially when they’ve stolen their best friend’s love interest. Put plainly, what we commonly call “petty.” This kind of story isn’t common in visual novels, because whenever we hear “petty,” we think of some dark turn or yandere. It seems like a petty, possessive woman has to either go full dark or use violence to snatch her man. That’s fake, and unrealistic. It’s also cowardly. A strong petty girl would handle things more forcefully, like… confrontation. Looking back at the few visual novels I’ve played, the ones that fit this “steals friend’s love interest while torn between guilt and jealousy” plot are the Kiba Mifuyu route in Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, and this one—the Hinata Ibuki route in Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi.
