A Hanako and Mary double feature~

I tried to strike two opposite ends of the Arato Route spectrum during this release: the mindless sex one and the one that deals more with the darker feelings of swinging and cheating.

Out of all the side-heroines, I think Hanako had the most successful mini-arc in Arato's Route. Having her interact with Satoshi definitely gave it a boost, and I think her personality and issues are ripe for Arato to take advantage of. Not to mention there is one very big element about Arato's backstory that links him to Hanako in a way that, once he learns about it, he'll definitely try to exploit~

I intended to add a Rin & Kaoru scene, but I was not feeling like it. That's really all there is to it. It might be added later, but right now I feel more compelled to continue the main story. They'll still get a bit of screentime later, don't worry.

The story scene added with this release is, well, more story oriented. The sex part is good, but not the main focus. It's probably slower paced than usual, in fact. Less intense. I wanted to explore a little bit Shizuka's and Mary's feelings on everything that is going on, and have them confide with the dude they've got the closest at the time, with different results. I think I gave them plenty of time to explain their feelings before going full into frenetic sex mode next update.

Now, next week is looking a bit difficult for me, so I'll be announcing release dates later this week.

As for what I'll release... maaaaaybe I'll get to finish an IoF update? Who knows.

Have a nice week and enjoy~
