I just finished my first route in the Visual Novel G-senjou no Maou (or The Devil on G-String, if you prefer the english name). It was really odd for me, because I ended up with the female character I liked the least - Tsubaki.
But first of all, a bit of explanation about the story behind this videogame. 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...
But enough with the summary and back to the Tsubaki route.
As I already said, initially Tsubaki was the character I liked the least. She's one of Kyosuke's classmates, and obviosuly in love with him from the very beginning. Tsubaki is in many ways the opposite of the protagonist: she'a altruistic at a fault, absolutely not interested in money and material goods and coming from a very united family (Kyosuke's one... well... is very different). The main character notices Tsubaki's interest for him almost immediately (forget about the usual Visual Novel protagonist: he's socially quite skilled XD), but he finds her a little annoying. In his way of thinking, her life doesn't make any sense at all: he doesn't comprehend how someone could be so selfless and he sees this trait as a weakness awaiting only to be exploited.
Obviously Kyosuke has a very distorted notion of life, but I found some fo his criticisms about Tsubaki very deep and painfully true. Refusing to see the evil in others, no matter what they do to you, is more refusing to face the truth of life than being kind - on that I agree with Kyosuke.
That being said, I found myself enjoying this route more that I thought I would.
Tsubaki and Kyosuke made a surprisingly good couple in the long run: they both started their relationship for the wrong reasons (Tsubaki in love with Kyosuke's mask and Kyosuke with the intention of using her to achieve one of his goal - stealing her family's land on his stepfather's behalf), but they change very much in the process - and for the best.
Tsubaki finally realizes that she actually never tried to understand the man she said to love and Kyosuke on his part finds a different way to live - the one of Tsubaki's family - where people matter more than money.
The story is disappointing on plot's side, because you finish the game with the strong feeling you missed out important details about the story. Maou accident hasn't a real closure, but maybe it's right in this route: once Kyosuke realizes he doesn't really need money or to obey to his stepfather's orders, all the rest become irrelevant too. The only thing important is family, like Tsubaki kept telling him from the start.
Did you try her route too? What are your ideas about? I want to know!! ^_^
