You're on the wrong route. You can romance Kokoro but you need to avoid that Kotonoha ending and end up with Setsuna first. Then when Kotonoha gives up on Makoto, Kokoro will decide she might as well try herself. Probably best to use the guide since even then it's easy to get a bad/different ending. You need to be interested in Kokoro not too much and not too little or he rejects her. Although if you were bothered by that Kotonoha scene being rapey you might not like the Kokoro one either. She does still end up in love with him by the ending but the circumstances were definitely not what I would have preferred either. At least there was a bunch of fun stuff before that. Kokoro is beyond adorable <3

Well, I'm stumped. But I'm going to resist reading the guide a little longer. While I figure out how to defeat the villain Kotonoha, here are some topics for the forum:
I love the huge cast of sexy girls, complete with milfs and lolis, and how just about every character has a scene if not a full route or ending. I can't even pick a favorite because almost all of them appeal to me in some way. So that alone adds huge replay value, since I'm going to want to unlock most of the scenes. So far I've done endings/routes with Setsuna, Karen+Otome, Hikari, and Kotonoha.
I like that Setsuna is the hero, but she seems more timid in this game compared to the first one. Some of these scenes I think would never have happened to School Days Setsuna... like that stupid part in her route where she
I was literally shouting at the screen!
The only thing I dislike about the game so far is that all the content is at the end of the routes, so you have to sit through a lot of BS first. Day-to-day life at Radish is not nearly as interesting as the game makes it out to be. I don't care, just let me have sex with all the cute girls and milfs already!

If you're on the route where you meet Kotonoha at all and are going to the festival with her, you just need high Setsuna affinity and Makoto will go look for her before the Kotonoha sex scene. I can only imagine that's what you're referring to. That's really not the difficult part in getting Kokoro's ending.
Other than that the game lets you fast forward or skip entire scenes so replaying it to get a different ending really isn't that annoying. Of course you can save and load whenever you want too.
While it does have H scenes this game isn't a simple hentai where that's 90% of the focus. You're meant to play the game and enjoy interacting with/dating the girls as well. Some routes don't even have H scenes to the end just like in the first game. If you just want the H scenes they're all over porn sites so you can just go watch them there.
I think the reason Setsuna is more aggressive in School Days is because she's basically already given up on Makoto by that point and is just trying to help out her best friend while also being on a short clock before she has to move away. So that makes her not give as much of a shit about appearances and social consequences. In Shiny Days she can afford to be more timid and she's actually serious about potentially dating Makoto. I can see why that might put some people off but I think her difference in personality is understandable.
I have to thread the needle, right? Too many Setsuna points and I get asked by her, which I assume is the wrong route. I have to somehow max her favor while also not go high enough to stray from the route. I'm pretty sure I have all the Kokoro-related choices correct, so there must be something else I'm missing.
And of course, I could just look up the scenes. I've already seen most if not all the Kokoro scenes already, but I know I'll enjoy them a lot more once I've earned them myself, and seen the full story of how we got there.
You want to start dating Setsuna and then afterwards start having relationship problems so Kokoro can kinda worm in. I don't have the guide in front of me but basically max Setsuna, start dating, min Setsuna, then pick only 1 positive Kokoro choice when you're on the beach. But you have to be on the Kotonoha festival branch, not the one where Sestuna confesses to the empty room. I don't even remember why exactly those 2 branches split.
Finally I'm on the right route. I had to restart the game and pick up the last few Setsuna points I had missed; they really give you no room for error on this. I think the key is to tell Kokoro "she's not my girlfriend" so she tries setting you up with Kotonoha, but otherwise pick every pro-Setsuna and pro-Kokoro choice.
Oh interesting. I didn't know exactly where the split was between having Kotonoha at the festival or not but sounds like that's probably it. So did you finally get your Kokoro ending? I'm pretty sure if you always pick her choices you get a bad ending because

Whew! That was quite a ride. I got a Kokoro scene (and I hadn't seen the whole thing already, which was nice) but not her ending. It turns out girls don't like it when you
Who knew? I guess the real lesson here is that Makoto is the worst, and you can't make him not terrible.
The ending I got:
But I assure you I'm not done with Kokoro yet.
And it would be nice to have a full scene of Futaba+Shun...

If you've been reading my advice, to avoid Kokoro hating you you can't be too all in on her choices.

Basically when you're on the beach right before that scene you should just keep making the anti Kokoro choices and only say "I do think of her that way" on the very last one.
Although even then you need to avoid that Setsuna ending since I'm pretty sure it overwrites the Kokoro one. They always have that fight you're talking about but there are various ways in which they make up or don't. You basically need the Setsuna relationship to not work out and then Makoto talks to Kokoro again. You might need to use a guide if you still can't get it after following my suggestions.
At long last, Kokoro is mine. It took me a while but damn it was worth it. And the ending also suggests that I get Kotonoha too as a bonus! She was awfully polite about the whole "please don't fuck my little sister" thing too. But we all know that I'm gonna do it anyway!
So then why does the game present it as a bad Setsuna ending ("Going Our Separate Ways")?? I guess that's my only real complaint with Shiny Days, that pursuing any other girl means you have to dump Setsuna. And she's too timid, and could solve her problems by spitting out three words, but won't say it.
But I was not expecting this level of difficulty for a VN. The way the game is structured means it can be a challenge to go for anyone besides Setsuna. They also throw you some curveballs, for instance in the Kokoro path, you can't just select every option with the word 'Kokoro' in it. And this is good, because this is what makes it so replayable.
Question for the forum: who should be my next conquest? Which ones did you enjoy?

For some reasons, part 3, 6 and 7 are considered corrupted by my computer, is someone else having this problem ? Or is there a way to fix it ?

I just downloaded this 2-4 days ago and did not have any problems with it.
Maybe try another download than the one you used.
Make sure all parts are in the same folder then just start with the #1 and it should unpack all for you.
I tried all the available links, and nothing changed, i'm not home rn, i'll try again from the beginning later.
Looking at the flowchart of endings now, and I am really enticed by some of these names:
Like Mother, Like Daughter
Succumbing to Pleasure
Banquet of Mothers
Paris for Four
Sleep with the entire Katsura family Project
Double the Pleasure
Mom's Boyfriend
And then tucked away in there is 'Rain of Carnage'... which I admit I'm also morbidly curious about. I get the feeling that Kotonoha's sword plays a major role in that one!
But it's clear to me now that I have to go for one of the milfs. Sekai's mom, has got it going on...
