Tuesday

A fairly ordinary day today. Rinko was there to meet me on the way to school, which always gives a lift to my morning.

I had a short rendezvous with her in the Tennis Club Room...

And then it was bento time again for lunch...

Rin-Rin seemed a little worried that I wouldn't like the food...

...but she needn't have worried, because it was delicious as always.

And so we finished up the day with a short meeting at the always-romantic Fountain Park.

The good news is that I finally unlocked the Towano Hot Springs in the Mountain Area and I've booked a date with Rinko there for this coming Sunday. Can't wait!

A Pink Monday

I met Rinko for a short date in the Tennis Clubroom at school today, and she seemed a bit spaced out at first...

But then she recovered and showed me her big happy smile. I'm still loving the twin tails semi-long hairstyle from yesterday's date, which looks even cuter when it's combined with her school uniform.

And yes, a bento was on the menu for lunch again.

I grabbed this nice close-up shot as Rin-Rin slid across to share her lunch with me...

Not sure how good the first bite tasted, though. ^^

This afternoon, I also visited Electric Town and bought a new "stealth" body for my camera, which is supposed to make it easier to take candid shots of your girlfriend - that is, she doesn't always turn around when you point the camera at her. I tried it out on our date at Fountain Park this afternoon, but honestly didn't notice a lot of difference.

Tomorrow is my third big Premium Date - a couple ticket to a special exhibition at the Gallery.

Locked In The Library...???

I spent a pleasant Saturday morning at school with Rinko. We had a couple of short dates, including this one in the Tennis Clubroom...

In the late afternoon, I met Rinko at the Video Rental Store.

But then something really weird happened. At 6:00 pm there was an Event listed, and I met Rinko in the Library. I think we were preparing stuff for the Culture Fest tomorrow. Anyway, we must have lost track of the time, because after we'd talked and studied for a while, there was the sound of a door closing and the lights were turned off.

So it seems as though Rin-chan and I are locked in the Library over night! Now it's after 9:00 pm, and instead of ending up back in my room, I still see the background of the Library. And when I pressed the "go to sleep" button, nothing happened. Still in the Library.

I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to do anything else or not. I guess I'll turn the game on again before I go to bed and see what happens - otherwise I'll just have to wait for tomorrow morning.

Back To School

Today was my first offical "full" day in Towano with Manaka as my girlfriend. It kicked off with the Opening Ceremony at school, complete with the Towano High School song!

Despite being the "blue" personality type, Manaka was nothing at all like Rinko's dreaded blue personality. Instead, I found her still very happy today, and it was easy to kiss her and get her up to the highest affection level. I think I love the blue Manaka, after all, and may not try to change her to orange. She's a very sweet and slightly shy girl (which I adore).

I met her later in the Tennis Club Room for a chat (and, well, you know. One thing leads to another...) Actually it's great to be back at school in the game... ^^

 And the girls are still in their short-sleeved summer uniforms, despite the fact that it's autumn already in Towano. Here' s a nice close up of Manaka-chan, blushing as she walks home from school with me. Aww.

During the 12 noon timeslot, there was an event in which Manaka met me in the school courtyard and talked to me about a doubles game that was coming up soon. I think maybe it was the start of another ToDo assignment? Not sure. But she wanted me to kiss her at the end - and when Manaka asks, it's difficult to say no.

The last photos for today are from the second installment of Manaka's "Seishun No. 1 Page". The story seems to revolve around a younger girl who joins the Tennis Club and absolutely ADORES Manaka.

Here's the culprit. She's so star-struck that it seems like more of a crush to me.

I played through my standard four days in Skip Mode today, basically to begin unlocking date locations around Shin Towano Station and to raise my stats a bit. I'm hoping to try an "after school date" tomorrow, which I've never done before (and didn't know about until recently).

I also went shopping in Electric Town and bought the 12x Record Card for my in-game camera. This is one piece of equipment in New LovePlus that's absolutely essential. These last two photos are from an evening meet-up with Manaka at Winning Burger. I really love the smart dress she is wearing.

Well, so far, I'm loving my new game with Manaka. She's sweet and wonderful, and I think this new relationship is going to last for a long time.
