I already talked about this Visual Novel in an old post (Tsubaki route), but I'll tell what this game is about once again for anyone new here.
In G-senjou you play the role of Kyosuke, the adoptive son of a ferocious yakuza boss (he's scary as hell, I assure you @@) whose only interest in life is making money: his life has a dramatical change when a strange and mysterious man whose name is only "Maou" (Devil) starts to challenge Kyosuke's "father" rule over the city, dragging into his machinations also Kyosuke himself and his classmates. To make things even more complicated, in Kyosuke's class transfers a strange girl who seems to hold a personal grudge against Maou...
In this Visual Novel, in addition to follow Maou's plot and discovers what links him to Kyosuke (no spoiler here but it's quite interesting), we have various girls among which to choose our partner, and this choise will change very much the Visual Novel's entire plot and ending.
This time, I decided to romance Kanon.
Kanon is Kyosuke's "sister" (she's Kyosuke's stepfather's daughter) and someone inbetween a childhood friend and a younger sibling - at least in our protagonist's mind. In fact, to me it's quite obvious her interest for Kyosuke is of a romantic nature, even if our protagonist treats her like an annoying little sister. Kanon is childish, spoiled and always cheerful, but she has also another side of her personality - more serious and focused - that she shows only when she skates. Getting to know her better, we discover she's actually very serious when something involves her career as professional skater.
Kanon route was a bit of a surprise. When you start romancing her, you quickly discover she's much more than what she seems - strong and determined, but also arrogant and demanding with Kyosuke. The reason for her often annoying attitude is the complicated relationship she has with her mother - an ex skater who practically lives only to see Kanon accomplishing what she could not. Their bond is strong, but also full of unsaid things and egoism - from both sides.
What I liked in this route was the deep realism of Kanon development till her beautiful happy ending. What I didn't like was the fact Kyosuke is just a bystander in Kanon's life here. Their "love" - on Kyosuke's part - seems mostly born out of pity and didn't evolve much during the route. He acts like her boyfriend but doesn't seem really into it. Being with her doesn't change him or push him towards a confrontation with his stepfather - like in Tsubaki's route - and you can almost forget he's even present most of the scenes.
Kanon is a very interesting character, but I would have liked to see her interact more with the protagonist.
What do you think?
G-Senjou is definetely a Visual Novel that the more you play it the better it gets.
