Nyeheheheh! Dum-dum-dum, another one bites the dust! I must say about Kouichi, if he wasn’t supposed to be one of the ‘main’ guys, he might be one of my favorites. It’s just that I have higher expectations of the “face of the game”, so to speak, so the idea that the game developers thought a rude, ugly, brusque, lazy, violent underachiever is enough to set my heart on fire really gets my goat.

Having said all that, Kouichi isn’t that bad. I mean, he stops being mean to you pretty quickly, and he doesn’t hit you like Saeki used to. The last few months of his game are really sweet, especially the part where he thanks you for making his three years of high school so wonderful, d’awww!

He’s really easy to get, too. I used a second-year save left over from when I dated Fujiyama. Digression: there seems to be a bug in this game. You know the picture frame on your desk? It looks like once a guy’s picture goes in there, it never goes out again, so I had to deal with Fujiyama’s mug staring at me all day even after I’d friendzoned him, and even now that I’ve started a brand new game to go after Konno-senpai (ZOMG, he’s such a bore), he’s still on my desk even though I haven’t even met him yet! Weird.

Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, Kouichi. His requirements are really low. He likes the planetarium, the vintage motorbikes exhibition, go-carts at the amusement park, the Tongari Boys event at the Event Hall, the bowling alley, the medal games at the arcade, etc etc. Nothing you wouldn’t expect. For stats, I went overboard and had all my stats high enough to get elected Rose Queen by the end of 3rd year (all you get is a spiffy red robe), but later I checked some sites and someone’s stats for getting him: 【学力】137【美術】135【運動】128【気配り】206【流行】163【魅力】137

I want to play something else to keep the game fresh a little longer while tiding me over until Harvest Moon: Twin Villages comes out, but I keep coming to this again and again and again. Heeeelp!

Hello! This is my first time here to read your blog..I m playing this game recently too! Have to try the Triangle relationship between Kou and Ruka? I think this would be more interesting ! By the way, according to the jap FAQ wiki, the teacher is the most difficult to get in GS3!

Really? You mean you can get the teacher? DO NOT WANT.
You know, the ordinary relationship with Kou is triangle enough: Ruka keeps showing up at the best moments!

Aoi // July 8th, 2010 - 8:45 am

haha, i m just trying my best to get the teacher in my first turn because I want to collect as much clothes as I can (and use them in the second turn and so on).

Yes, I agree to what you said. No matter which one you are being with, the other one keeps showing up!

Hahah just finished Kouichi’s route today! I kept calling him Kenichi fo rsome reason. XD

Is there a guide I can follow to get the others? (I only know rudimentary japanese, but even a link to a jpapanses walkthrough would be really cool!)

My least fav was Ruka. >< he was so picky and too girly heeheh

I’m thinking a walkthrough would be nice too, but so far I’ve been doing every route based on my own luck. If I find a good walkthrough, I’ll post it. I’ll need one for the secret characters anyway.

I can read some Japanese and Chinese, may be I can help?

TMGS3=Awesomeness

Oh, and about the picture on the desk- you can change it via the option panel.

eerte // July 14th, 2010 - 10:14 am

Haha it’s not a bug XD you can actually change the picture on the desk. I thought it was at first too but its customisable ingame. It just picks the first cg you get when you first start the game.(It’s in options and customize btw o3o)

I got one of the secret characters by joining the baseball club~~~ lol he is like a little child haha~ but cute~ if you are into that kind of thing~

admin // July 19th, 2010 - 11:15 pm

Baseball club? Got it!
What did you have to do to get his ending though? Just practice a lot?

Gina // August 2nd, 2010 - 6:45 am

Hi! I have been reading your info on the characters and I like it a lot. Actually, getting the teacher is not that difficult. Just fail tests the first time, study like crazy later to be at the top of the class, don’t miss any school festival and voilá. It sort of feels like too easy after you’ve gone after Himuro…XP

And then, other secret character: when Oosako is introducing himself to the class for the first time, he goes out with Himuro for a bit. There’s a chance to touch a guy that’s sitting in the class. His name is Taira, I think. You have to touch him any time you can and the story unfolds on its own.
And baseball kid, just practice baseball with him (although i’m still waiting for the cops to come and get me for dating a kid…)

Thanks! I’ll have to try all of these ASAP. I didn’t even know there was a Taira guy I could get.

hello i also play this game and I had all the official characters. I think thath I was quite lucky.
There is another hidden xharacter who is a writer. I don’t really know how to meet him, I was very lucky I think, but I couldn’t obtain him. I will try again. I could suppose that there was a story with this kind of man because in the website there was news about a novel quite often. “hatsukoi”.
I could discover him when I was trying to obtain koichi

admin // August 18th, 2010 - 11:45 pm

Yes, I met him in the bookstore too once, but after that I never saw him again.

Mayla // August 19th, 2010 - 7:34 pm

Hello I finally got him. In fact it depends on the annoucement in the journal in the network, it speeks about his novel. When his novel first gets out you have to go to do shopping. Then, you have to go shopping to meet him again, there will have options. Go shopping or go to the bookstore. It is difficult tou explain but if you see “初恋” you have to go shopping aned you will surely meet him.
