Good day!

I hope everyone's been well! I'm here for you guys with the latest Keisuke update. I actually enjoyed working on this one quite a bit. Both because being back in Yuuichi's head is a much more familiar place for me to write from, but also because we're starting to work on some stuff that's been looming over the narrative from Day 1. As you can probably see from the banner image on this post: Tanabe!

I don't think it's a secret that a lot of people have misgivings about him, but I do believe seeing him in a more casual light might surprise some! And also finally give some answers as to the state of his relationship with Yuuichi.

On another important note, I'm almost done with a short story set in Tanabe's POV that'll release for $5 patrons when it comes out, and I'll also try to put out an NSFW Shoichi short story for $10 patrons in the coming weeks. Other than that, provided Nyaruh can finish the requisite CG in the coming weeks so I have time to properly write it, the next update should be a Haruki one! I hope you guys look forward to that!

Hotfix

Very quickly, just want to let you guys know I've uploaded a hotfix. The link for the download above still works (I replaced the files with the h1/hotfix1 version).

Basically since I've been working on my laptop primarily lately and I have file mirroring between my PC and laptop with Google Drive, I think at some point I left VSCode open with the files for the previous Shoichi update. They weren't getting updated on my PC because of that, and at some point after releasing the previous Patreon update for Shoichi, it overwrote the files somehow. When I went to launch the public update yesterday, I realized that the Shoichi update had basically been deleted from my files. I needed to decrypt the previous Patreon release to get them back, but they were missing from this Keisuke update.

The issue has already been fixed, and I'll keep a closer eye on my workflow to keep that from happening again!

Absolutely goated update! I'm so glad Tanabe is getting his chance at redemption, he's too cute to hate

Sal the Dragon

tbh I think it's implied that he did, but Yuu was just too dense to see it. Which wouldn't surprise me considering that I also think he was too dense to realize that 1) Sho was in love with him, and 2) that he probably also was crushing on Tanabe

WOTB

It's actually the opposite that's implied. Tanabe says fairly clearly that he has no interest in romance/no romantic feelings in general, but that he has physical attraction, primarily on women.

Finally another update for best boy Keisuke! My thoughts on this one day for keisuke , is I am so happy WOTB finally went back to tennis in this tennis VN. I've missed it and I'm so happy Yuuichi is making a lot progress same with Tanabe. It seems like Yuuya has hit his wall and Yuuichi and Tanabe have time to stay ahead of him (I am worried Keisuke will be left behind now) and it seems like Saya-san is so good , she having more fun time playing against the boys than any of girls in Saitama or any region nearby. It just proves why Saya is Head Captain of Tennis Club , Yuuichi is Vice-Captain. I'm glad both Keisuke and Yuuichi are getting some help in their lives after being so stubborn about it for way too long. But I hope Keisuke and Yuuichi can finally talk about their future together. Once again I think Yuuichi should head to canada and get better there than going to the USA and getting crushed there. Also IMO Keisuke might have drop out of Tennis Club if he wants to focus on Light Music Club/Violin and taking over the company(doing the light music club gives Keisuke positive feelings unlike playing tennis) I'm happy that Yuuichi finally told Tanabe about his old feelings for him and his crush on him and Tanabe apologizing after all bad stuff he did to Yuuichi since middle school. Yuuichi is more mature and he cares about his friends and his partner Keisuke and I'm glad he came out of closet to Tanabe (much better reaction than what he got from Shoichi, Jun and Saya in class) It seems like Yuuichi patching up his old friendship with Tanabe and he making other friends with other tennis players in Japan. Keisuke and Yuuichi are best relationship in this game compared to other three in this game and I am glad others are finally taking notice of that. My old gripe with this update that is only one day and we didn't get enough time with Keisuke. I think extra Patreon money is helping to push out more updates for this game this year. I'm glad to see more sprite art for Tanabe an important minor character in this route. If WOTB is reading my comments , please response back to me and let me know what you think of them.

I thought he might have been Ace like Chris from Santa Lucia done by Stromsinger

WOTB

The amount updates isn't so much about Patreon money, it's more my ability to write the updates to my satisfaction. As TA gets closer to the end, I want to make sure the quality is good, so I end up taking longer because I overanalyze every small detail of the updates and it bogs me down. I appreciate the comment a lot, though. I'm glad people enjoyed the update. Even though I knew it was time to write a bit more about Tanabe, the negative reaction people had to him when he first appeared definitely worried me that people would have already made up their minds about him and would refuse to sympathize at all.

Tanabe was bit cold but nothing out of realm of sympathy with the audience because we barely knew him, we only heard about him and saw short moments of interaction with Yuuichi and Keisuke. Speaking of Keisuke even though he wasn't in this update that much his presence and words/actions was with us and Yuuichi and Yuuichi is growing as a character , which is great to see for him. So many of his bad habits slowing going away and its thanks to Keisuke and coming out of closet but also enjoying tennis again. This is just proof that Keisuke is best and IMO the best scenario is for yuuichi to head to Canada and get better before going pro. Keisuke moving away from tennis club and just focusing on light music club and his family business is best for him. I really wanted Keisuke and Yuuichi being doubles partners but the idea is now long dead. Keisuke and Yuuichi match each other but also have different things about each other that makes their dynamic so much better and stands out in this game.
