Hm...Yumi? She's basically just my younger bro and cousin when it comes down to it.
I also understand the lifestyle, and don't do drugs, so it's not like we'd have much issues.
We'd be watching lots of action movies. Plus Yakuza ties may come in handy.
Edit: Damn just realized I've got 6666 total emoji things...that's neat.

In all fairness, if Akira had been a parent to her from the start, she'd be a normal girl. Might not even be interested in him tbh.
A lot of that has to do with having him become her anchor and having the responsability to replace Sekai for him (in order to secure her place in his life). If he was healthy, they both would have dealt with Sekai's death - she probably would've had a stepmother, would have a stable home without any responsabilities outside of the norm, and be interested in people her age.
I watched an anime once that had this younger sister that wouldn't leave the house and would be obssessed with her brother because she had this huge trauma, and he had become the only thing for her. But then as they fixed it through time-travel stuff (where the trauma never happened) she was barely interested in her brother. You get this scene of her telling him she was going to the mall or something, and that's it, totally normal girl. It was such a bizarre scene, cause it's like you're seeing another person wearing the face of someone you know.
I wonder if we even would recognize Ami if she was normal, since most of what she's now (outside of some interests like karaoke and d&d) are due to her poor childhood. Hell, maybe even her interests are part of an act who knows.

I'd go with Molly, she seems fun (not Bingoogus's type of fun) to have and I think I would be able to raise her easier than the others, like I would absolutely have the worst time trying to raise Yasu.

I don't really think someone can be "normal" after watching their parents die:

The accident plus years of being taken advantage of by Sensei, has well...made Ami who she is. Plus Maya lying to her for years, and the resets probably haven't helped.
A "normal" Ami, would probably require the accident to never have happened. Then again, there's still the Sekai and Sensei stuff...Ayane and Maya also probably wouldn't be around, since she wouldn't be living with just Sensei. Niki and Noriko would probably be around, and possibly her "sisters", though.

If she qualifies, definitely Chinami, she's just way too adorable.

If I have to choose someone from the class, probably Ayane. Not necessarily the most interesting character, but I feel she'd be a great family member. Her issues all seem to stem from the lack of loving parents, so provide her with a good home and I think she would be a pretty well-adjusted girl, so you'd get to avoid the baggage/drama that most of the girls would bring. She's caring, smart, and often funny, but in a low-maintenance way; in contrast, I think having someone like Rin as a daughter would get exhausting pretty quickly. Plus she comes with a butler.

It seems like the plan is to remake 'Nothing is Beautiful', after 'Lessons in Love' is over.
So, it'll be around 15-16 years until that game is finished, assuming this one takes around 5-6 more, and assuming that game is intended to be around as long as LiL.
There's also the 'Grow Old. Then Die.' side project. Sel is kind of set for life with these games.

To be honest, I would not consider adopting any of them. There are too many challenges, considering that all of them have significant mental health issues. However, if I had to choose, I would go with Touka. If she had adopted me, that is.

Of course they can. Normal doesn't really mean nothing bad ever happened to you, just that the things that happened to you don't rule over your life. I never had my parents die in front of me, but a good amount of people have seen people die in front of them and that doesn't have to ruin the rest of their lives for them. Same logic applies to any sort of trauma more or less.
Was the accident very traumatic for Ami? Most certainly. Was the fact that she has received absolutely no professional help, nor a stable home or dependable adult also a problem? Yes, and I would go so far as saying it is even more problematic than her parents dying. Her parents dying was an event that was deeply traumatic, as was when Miku's parents died - but the aftermath was a continued event that went on for years, hasn't stopped and put such a strain on the mind of a kid that it warped her psyque much more than just them dying.
In other words, by not dealing with it in a proper manner, it's like her parents are still dying. Both her and Akira are, in some level, still on that day, they never left. The fact that Akira calls her daughter and she calls him dad is not just important for their interpersonal relationship, but also, in my view, because it starts to manifest the reality that Nozomu is dead. They form a proper family, they grieve and cry together, they bond over their shared trauma and they take control over their life again despite what happened. It would have been much better to do it then, but it's never too late.
Regardless, this is all a minor point - Ami is the way she is because things were done in the way they were. We'll all just continue hoping she can get as healthy as she can now that Akira's taking responsabilty.

All 20 or all 35?
Can't wait to see it in the game. I really hope Selebus would make her character anal-focused, we kinda need it

Your honor, I would like to retract my previous statement and go with this one as well.

I was kind of thinking similar. Touka and Ami seem more like they'd adopt others (Yasu vs Sensei). Or even Chika (Yumi).
I suppose that's an optimistic way of looking at it.

I think Rin's just a teenager. She seems to have clinical depression, so it won't be easy exactly - but a hell of a lot easier than Yasu. And out of having to keep an eye on her regarding her mood shift, she's just a little ball of hormones that still manages to keep a steady job despite her age and issues.
Tsuneyo, Molly, Touka, Otoha, Nodoka, Chika, Noriko, Kirin and Ayane though would be almost zero issues (some have issues but those would be resolved by the adoption). Makoto and Sana are a mixed bag depending on their mental issues. All the others are problematic in one way or another. If we want to go crazy, one could also consider adopting Akira, as Yasu (or someone using her) points out that his issues come from Saki not being a proper mother/creating the crack through which Sekai reached him.
Edit: One could consider adopting Kaori too tbh. She would benefit from a mothermom/fatherdad.

So... it has been a while since the Dorm Wars update. Has anyone come up with a solid theory as to who is the one other referenced here (besides something like her biological father simply being alive somewhere out there, which is a boring possibility):
"That perfect spring day was the last time Sana Sakakibara would ever open her eyes."
"As she collapsed to the ground, her friends rushed to her aid and circled her body. "
"They lifted her up in hopes that they’d be able to save her life..."
"But alas-"
"The school nurse is off on Fridays."
"She is survived by her mother, Sara Sakakibara, and one other."
"She will be buried next to her brother."
There was a slight discussion about this back then, but it got nowhere, I believe. My current theory is that Ami is Sana's half-sister, which would kind of suck, maybe? I mean... I'm split on wanting Ami to be Akira's real daughter or Nozomu's (playing Good Uncle). Sensei can't be Sana's father (perhaps the only way of him conceivably being is: during Sara's pure route, Sensei is sent to the past through godly shenanigans and becomes a teacher at her high school. They fall in love. And the rest is history.)
I remember long feeling like Sana and Sara held a deeper significance. Sara, in particular, seemed a bit more prominent beyond what a character like her would've been in this kind of game (she also has a complex about being a side character, it seems). Hearing that Selebus was excited about Sara's pure route was somewhat of a signal.
It was very encouraging to see this perception addressed by the author directly.
Lamb Legs. I still don't clearly understand what was going on there. I remember feeling confused: why was Ami bringing up Sara, like summoning her? I no longer remember, but was Ami already warmed up to Sara by then? They were like a family there... foreshadowing?
Good Boy. A teenage Sara appears, and (I think) Long Maya asks if Sensei has a more profound relationship with her than merely a sexual one. He's unable to answer. Ties in with my imaginary pure route.
Now Sara wants to become a family (honestly, I think she'd be great; unfortunately, I don't think she can compete with Niki. Perhaps she has a chance if Niki doesn't actually "exist." Something Himawari alludes to.) is this perhaps foreshadowing 2?
I think Sara's past holds some of the keys to solving LiL.
Anyway, I'm extremely interested in this particular subplot.
