Synopsis:

From Primer

Hana Awase tells the story of a girl named Mikoto (みこと). One day, after being involved in a minor car accident, she wakes up in the hospital and sees a young man she doesn’t recognize. After he leaves, the nurses tell her that he’s the one who took her to the hospital and stayed with her the whole time, though Mikoto is confused about this since she doesn’t know him.

 

Shortly after, Mikoto finds a strange card with an oni on it. Though she herself is not sure of what it all entails, she has been chosen by this onifuda. As a result of being chosen, Mikoto is invited to transfer to the prestigious and mysterious Kaen Academy, where a group of young men known as the five brights engage in hana awase, a card “game” that puts their very lives on the line; they do this with the help of minamo, pure girls whose energy grants them power. Mikoto soon finds out the reason for her invitation: she is a candidate to be a senki, a minamo with such immense power that she can potentially tip the very balance of heaven and earth itself.

I’m not sure I can give a proper synopsis for this without ruining the story thus the quote. ^^;;;;;

Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side Premium – Hasumi Tatsuya

Company: Konami
Release Date: March 15, 2012
Platform: PSP
Official Site: http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/Girls_Side/3rd_Story_psp/

Walkthrough: http://tokimemogs.livejournal.com/282674.html (I used Rin’s post in tokimemogs LJ comm :D) Alternatively, you can use Akiyama’s walkthrough from the official guide book: http://www.lovablepunk.com/hasumi-tatsuya-walkthrough/

This guy is the added secret guy in the TMGS Premium. God, he is so precious. (๑¯◡¯๑)

After spending your first and second year doing nothing but increasing your Charm, you get to meet a weird guy in Alucard. And OMG Alucard *O*. How I’ve missed you! ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆ My memories of that cafe is nothing but Kei ♡♥(。´▽`。)♥♡.  Is Alucard a model’s den? Every guy, e.g., Kei, Majima (though I haven’t played his route yet) and now Hasumi. *cough* Going back, the next event is a few months away…why so long? /weeps

A few months after your last encounter, you’ll meet a completely different guy from before. Take note that Bambi’s answer is awesome xDD. Then, just like before, it will take weeks before you meet him again. When he finally asked you to a date, you can wear “Sexy” clothes (I tried “Vivid” but he says nothing about it) for positive remarks. He will take you to his favorite movie. For the second time around, Bambi’s response is awesome lol. At the end of the date, he’ll ask you for another date. His route will branch off at this point.

I won’t elaborate his Angel and Queen’s route. Instead, I’ll just state the difference:

  • Angel’s route: He’ll tell you about the Mermaid’s story. (remember TMGS 2’s legend)
  • Queen’s route: Wear “Sexy” or “Koakuma” outfit xD. You’ll tell him HabaGaku’s legend instead.

Since the PSP port will be released on March 15th, I’ve decided to have a “refresher course” lol of TMGS. The first time I’ve tried to play this, I couldn’t decide if I’ll go after Ruka or Niina. But of course, I ended up going after the main guy just like what I did on previous TMGS.

The setting is back to Habataki High School after 7 years (from TMGS1). You play as a high school girl and you have 3 years to capture the heart of the guy you want to end up with. Some characters from the 1st game are still around and are given a minor role here.
