1) Can't really answer this since I haven't watched the anime yet,but I have watched Episode 1. What I get at is the VN has A LOT more back story and overall a different/better experince. Also the feels....they hit you really deep. :(
2) My order that I will be playing is Sachi>Makina>Yumiko>Michiru>Amane. I currently am playing Makina's route and I finished Sachi's. Overall, Sachi's is 20x better than Makina's in my opinion. I would recommend my route order, but it's your choice. I do have to say one thing, please save Amane's route for last. I heard it has the most feels in it and that you should play it last to get the best experience. I never played it yet, but I heard this from a lot of people.
3) Katawa Shoujo is the only VN similar to this that I have played so far, but it is a life changing experience.
Also a little side note, this VN is very long. I have been playing it since January 8th and I'm almost done with the 2nd route out of 5. I might be going slower than the average person, but it's still long and really worth it.
> but I like how you chose the chart colors based on their hair colors
I don't know why, but I felt that was necessary lol.
> Sachi's bar's looking a little short for being a 10, might want to do something about that.
My mistake, I will fix that :p
> Also, let us know how you feel about this after you've finished GnK:
I will definitely share my experience after I'm finished.
> Lastly, OP, do you have a VNDB?
Yes I do. Just recently made one.
I'd suggest https://vndb.org/v57 (Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo) as i went straight onto it after grisaia and loved it.
The main character is a lot like yuuji, just with a lot more emotion and maybe a little naivety mixed in. Also, the routes aren't as clean-cut, it isn't as long as grisaia (could be good or bad) and the aesthetics, in my opinion, aren't as good as grisaia, but while grisaia has the characters and writing over it, the overall story i feel is better.
In the end, it's still one of my favourite VNs after grisaia.
Just to be clear this is the REAL L'oiseau Bleu manga (Unlike the previous misnamed translations of Sanctuary Fellows), that is told from Yumiko's perspective. Series Info
If you had simply Googled it you would have had your answer faster. It's even in the sidebar (The spoiler tags are in order).
In anycase it's; Kaijutsu, Meikyuu, then Rakuen. (That applies to both VNs and the Anime)
All you have to do is check out the game page here:
https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/8730
If you're on the web, there's a button on the left side labeled "Pre-register and follow". And if you're using the QooApp app, the button will be on the bottom of your phone screen! Let me know if you need help! :)
I felt very similar to you - then on a whim i looked at the cover art for the second game.
without having read them, id say its a strong possibility that both Kazuki and Asako appear in the later VNs.
I don't mind rewatching Grisaia but the problem is Discord, if you want to simulcast then do it on Kast.gg or something, because simulcasting on Discord is bad. It lags even with good internet.
Funny you should post this. It actually just came out today. Problem is, it's Japanese only. Cannot download it anywhere else.
