Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season - Introduction

It's been awhile that I started the game but some otome games' completion are hard and it's the case for all the Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side series so I haven't finished 2nd Season but I'll try my best! Also, I have to redo most of the routes since I lost the Micro SD card which contained the game months ago /sobs Being on my high school senior year doesn't help at all especially now since exams are coming soon... I guess I'll stop complaining orz""

Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season is a dating sim edited by Konami, originally for PS2 (2nd Kiss, released in 2002) which gets a release for Nintendo DS (2nd Season) on 2007. If you had played TMGS1, you should be familiar with it, for sure! It's kinda the same template for the plot: the heroine moved back to her hometown (Habataki City) after leaving it for years and is about to start her high school life~


PROLOGUE:
The heroine remembers a moment of her childhood: She was lost somewhere on the beach near the lighthouse  and she was crying then a boy came to her and asked if she was a mermaid (lol /shot).

So here begins the story-telling of a legend (like in TMGS1):  It's the story of two people who fell in love but the girl was a mermaid who had taken an human form forbidding her to speak. When the villagers heard about this, they were against their relationship (I guess) so the mermaid had to leave and they promised they would meet again. The young man waited and waited for her to come back and one day, he decided to sail the ocean in order to find her but he never came back.

After that, the heroine and the little boy promised to meet again someday but strangely it seems that our dear heroine doesn't remember the face of the boy so it's hidden by a sun ray :'D ... but Konami failed at hiding it though so we can guess who it is pretty quickly =_="

END OF THE PROLOGUE

Back to present: the heroine is on that same beach because she got lost once again and notices a house next to the lighthouse from afar, she decides to go and take a look out of curiosity. When she arrives, there's a guy dressed as a waiter by the window, she unitentionally stares at him and when she realizes it, it was so embarrassing that she decides to go away as quickly as possible but ends up being lost again at the same place, so she decides to ask for directions because the high school entrance ceremony will begin soon and if she doesn't hurry up she'll be late etc.. then she finds the waiter guy from earlier and asks him but he shooes her away after talking quite rudely to her.

Finally, the heroine finds her way and make it to her school: Hanegasaki Gakuen. In front of the gates she recognizes the waiter who shooed her away despite the fact that his hairstyle changed; when he sees her, the guy drag her somewhere around the school to talk. So we get to know his name: Saeki Teru (佐伯 瑛) and it appears that he's also a first year~ Saeki tells her to keep her mouth shut about his work because he doesn't want the others to know, she accepts and he take his leave quickly.

Before homeroom, the heroine meets one of the four girls "friends" in the corridor: Onoda Chiyomi, Toudou Tatsuko, Mizushima Hisoka or Nishimoto Haruhi (the person you meet depends of which room you chose at the begining), knowing that one of girls can be your rival depending of which guy you decide to go after (I really disliked this) =u=

After enterring classroom, the homeroom teacher introduces himself: Wakaouji Takafumi (若王子 貴文), Chemistry teacher! WAKA-SENSEI Y CHEMISTRY?! then he hands a form with questions to answer to the students before leaving~

Last, when the heroine returns home she meets her young neighbor: Otonari Yuu (音成 遊) aka the little stalker who is willing to share info with her about people anytime!

High school life can really start now ♥
______________________________

The goal of TMGS2 is roughly to go after a guy, make him love you and confess on your graduation day. In order to get this confession, you have to raise the required parameters to get his ending (Inteligence, Fitness, Style, Social etc..) by doing activities (studying, drawing, reading magazines, physical exercice etc..). Going on dates with him and getting the correct anwsers will increase his affection (Secret charas are exceptions) ~

There are 7 main guys: Saeki Teru, Hikami Itaru, Shiba Katsumi, Hariya Kounoushin (Harry), Christopher Weatherfield (Chris), Amachi Shouta (real shota), Wakaouji Takafumi (SENSEI ♥) and Masaki Motoharu.
 3 secret characters: Akagi Kazuyuki, Komori Taku and Majima Tarou

Also, there's the "accidental kiss" event: according to the answers to the 2 last questions of Waka-sensei's questionnaire, each guy has one except secret charas as always!

Then the special feature for Nintendo DS: SKINSHIP! 

Wikipedia says: "As an added feature of the Nintendo DS version, the player can touch many of the characters using the stylus causing many different responses depending on their feelings for you."

It's a feature that allows you to "molest" (yeah.. sorry, I suck at explaining so please bear with it :'D) the guy during dates or in CGs scenes~ (=> Explained on the official website) You can poke his head, tug his arm or look at his eyes by touching them and such, it will increase affection (hearts) or friendship (stars) if you did it at the right place~ according to your affection level he might dislike it when you poke at wrong places :'D

Hmm I guess that's it (I can't write more, it'd be a walkthrough otherwise ;_;), thank you for reading if you made it this far ;_; I'll be proceeding to the routes in the next posts then, the first will be Saeki, I hope it won't be too long ♥
