I don't think that's the case, Ayane doesn't remember anything from the reset so she's very unlikely to actually do anything with it
with Maya suggesting a shopping "date", and remembering that Himawari was the one selling the scarf to Akira, I think it's much more likely she's trying to reforce the event we saw in chapter 1
To introduce more time paradox shenanigans maybe this is how she got the scarf to sell to Akira in the first place. There is probably some implications in that if it were the case but I have too much holiday day drinking brain damage to think of what it would be at the moment.

I'm a bit sad that so many people didn't "like" this update, or at least not as much as others, for me it's one of my favorite updates.
I understand the criticisms regarding the whole "nobody cares if akira is fucking everyone" but it's part of the plot, give it a bit of time.
Otoha redemption arc will also go hard.
Tsukioka plotline is really taking over and I think it wont end here.
Akira's relationship with Tsukasa which many people despise is an insight to how Maya x Akira might've started (which some of those same guys are shipping).

I'm starting to lose faith or the tierlist. Updating older characters have become difficult. I have to pay attention to my general opinion of the characters but when there are gonna be 35 characters+ it becomes very hard to memorize everything. So unless something really bad or really good happens or I just suddenly realize I like a character a lot more than another in the same tier, they might get demoted. Then there is the naming and all that... Welp. Anyway.

That was 100% my take on it when it was happening, he was following a technically correct interpretation of her command... actually made me feel a little bad for Imani...
Imani's treatment is weird. Akira rejects her forever because he wants a friend, which is totally fair.

Then he gives her oral because he feels sorry for her.

Then we have a date out of absolutely nowhere that just feels so off (maybe because there's just no buildup to it due to Selebus' strange decision of skipping 2 months in which stuff happened that Akira is aware of but not us).

Then he has sex with her, again, not because he really wants it or whatever, but just because sex, and it ends up being about Tsukasa.

It's just, I don't even know.

where can I find my save? i haven't really play the game since the .42 update and now that it is .46 and i don't want to restart the progress.

I am thinking about moving my save to the new version not sure if that works.

The date happened because Imani wanted it and not Akira. This entire update he's acted like a yes-man and reducing himself to the toy he thinks he has become and can't escape.

And that's really the tragedy of Akira. It's just that this monologue is overshadowed by Chika later. But the point of the matter is that Akira is now dealing with everything he should have dealt with when Sekai died. He never grew up. His innocence was taken. His predator was taken. His doll was taken. He now only has a broken shell filled with regrets and the bed of worms he injected these girls with.

And that's good. Because he's finally saying these things out loud. He needs to say them out loud, even if it's a cry for someone to kill him. It's at least something. And since this event isn't missable, it's the closest we have of him outright saying these things to someone so far, that I recall (since "Stomachache" is missable).
I liked that he builds on this in the last party event. I remember when I read both I thought, he is finally making progress.

Yeah he just did not even bother to learn from the mistakes at all. Bro fucked, got caught, fucked again got caught, got caught again right after by the mom. Proceeds to fuck in the daughters bedroom, youngest daughter which will look even worse. Tsubasa will of course find out if she doesn't already know too. It was L's all over for the dude...at least Imani didn't get interrupted. But he was just using her.
I think he actually did learn and that's why he decided to do it. He did it expecting Tsukasa to see him and Imani, he took inspiration from everyone walking in on him fucking people that day to use it as a way to continue grooming Tsukasa.
Edit: Also add on what derekthered56 said.

Also now that I'm already speaking about the Tsukasa stuff. In one of my saves I chose pull the plug in "Failsafe"(Tsukasa event) But still got all the Tsukasa scenes in this update, "The Talk", etc. I wonder if its an oversight or if the choice in that event is intentionally pointless. The main reason I wonder is because in that save I'm still locked out of the call Tsukasa option. So I hope that save doesn't get soft locked in the future when an event that maybe will supposed to have been skipped needs me to call Tsukasa to progress the game but I cant.

P.S. I ran out of reacts but want to finish reading the thread so you can all have imaginary infinite Schrodinger's reacts for the rest of today.

0.46 event triggers

There are 20 events in total. Most events (save two) are linked. The chain begins on a Friday. After Christmas is done with the main event "Post Nut Clarity", you have two other events:

19 - Tsukasa 2 (automatic on a sunday afternoon - I think you will need Tsukasa's route taken aka "tsukasacurious").
20 - Otoha 2 (visit her dorms, triggered for me on a weekday).

*How not to miss events: There are A LOT of flags being invoked, including one for Futaba which will fail a lot of events if not present. It happens during "The one with all the sextoys" and it needs Futaba Lust 40. The next one happens during Futaba's event, needing Molly's lust 10. If you got the two of them, then, and only then, Tsubasa's event will trigger.

Other than that, Kirin's blackmail will be checked leading to a difference in dialogue, as well as multiple calls for Tsukasa's route having been taken. The "amifingered" flag will change her conversation with Niki in the backstage. Most importantly however is a Himawari variation that needs Ayane affection over 3k. This happens during "Post nut clarity":

There are also new invite over costumes for Kirin, but I have no interest whatsoever in those.

Edit: New animation 1 is Imani at the dive bar. 2 is Kirin inviteover Cowgirl.

It also has been pointed out that seeing the Himawari variation unblocks Maya - mind you, it doesn't really matter that much since the events you get access to are the old ones (like Maya prime old). And the shrine will still remain locked.

**thanks for the info on both animation and Maya locked flag.
Do you enter Tsukasa's route in this update? Because my tsukasacurious is false but there's no way I declined it

Don't think it's pointless. Calling her at that point means you've gone off the deep end. Whether you truly accept it or not at that moment is narratively irrelevant.
Just not gameplay-wise, since it means Sel will make a fuck you sequence inside an event on 2 years time for not accepting it now.

"tsukasacurious" is given during the update (I just added it because people were talking about it). If you have chosen Tsukasa thus far, you should be fine.

Is getting over 3k Ayane affection also part of this event or is that not something you can get legit

That is very true, he's still Cumming for a Tsukioka, and she's kindve offered up her daughters many times. So in the end she got what she wanted, even if he was trying to make himself more free or prove something by doing it in that room. Or, he was trying to also show off to Tsukasa which is also true. Which sucks for Imani because once again he is doing it for a much younger individual and not an adult. He truly is stuck in his past traumas.
I think he actually did learn and that's why he decided to do it. He did it expecting Tsukasa to see him and Imani, he took inspiration from everyone walking in on him fucking people that day to use it as a way to continue grooming Tsukasa.
Wow I mean...this truly is a great lesson learned. Well done Akira, taking your mistakes and using the mistake to have the same result but in your benefit. Grooming! (His state of mind is getting more and more cooked) Tsukasa will definitely ask him about stuff in the future though now. It's absolutely right he just abused the events here

My updated 0.46 Tierlist (characters not in order)

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I feel like certain....events have given Tsubasa a higher placement on this list. But actually, what puts Tsukasa that high? For me I actually like her too, and her quirks are being revealed more now. Though I did see something about being a similar route to Maya, which is actually kinda true. He's "tutoring" her and all. Just it's worse now cause he's even older.

Either you have to farm it beforehand, change the number or force choose the option through URM. I choose the latter myself, but to each their own. The check happens at the final lines of "post-nut clarity".

Usually I just pick the path in URM without even changing stats, seems like the comfy option

I do wonder if any madlad has ever actually tried manually grinding out 3k affection between updates

that's my idea as well. It's not like this variation will activate any flags, such is the code:

This is not my area of expertise, so I may have missed something. But yeah, I just force choose Himawari both in this case, during the song selection for "Miserably ever after", and "Scientific research".

Yes, they're regulars even.

Regarding everyone acting so chill about Akira fucking different people: I for one am not surprised in the slightest. Why? Because something is currently amiss; something different than what has happened before. We're even warned about it not once, but twice:

So in short: something is very wrong with the residents of Terminal 23 right now. It started at the last Beach Trip and has become more apparent after the latest Reset. It's not too far fetched to think that, along with the Reset, the girls' behaviors have simply been altered, no?

Or better yet, what if we're still trapped in some weird alternate reality right now that mimics the one we've known and the key to breaking out of it is at the beach (AKA the edge of the world)?

Could be something to keep in mind.
