YMMV / True Love Junai Monogatari

Go To

  • Heartwarming Moments: Yumi's ending. While all the good endings have the MC starting to build a happy and VERY sexually kinky life with his girlfriend, the one featuring her has said MC not only staying with her through several years, but proposing to her with a ring he made for her during a trip abroad. Then the scene cuts to Yumi wrapped in a Modesty Bedsheet... and crying happy tears.
  • Fridge Horror:
    • If you don't pursue Mayumi (and by extension Yumi) or Remi, since both of them are kidnapped by lechs... does this mean that either of them will be raped by their captors? In Mayumi's case there's a bit of hope about Yumi maybe managing to catch Mikazaki on time (even more so since she's on his track), but Remi is completely alone and vulnerable...
    • What if you don't pursue Anze? Will she be unable to find her wings, and thus get stuck as a Cute Kitten forever?
    • Ryoko's conflict. Without the MC there to help her, what will happen to her career and her well-intentioned but very overprotective brother's attempts to control it?
  • Game-Breaker: During the day Kazuhiko returns your money to you, save and reload. He will return the money again. Rinse and repeat until your money problems are gone.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The game bombed in its native Japan and was considered cliche and poorly done (not to mention, its developer Parsley had an awful reputation in the market for shovelware). However, in America, this was one of the first Japanese visual novels to break into the market. As such, it holds a much more special place for American fans of the genre while it's largely unknown and forgotten in Japan.
  • Moment of Awesome:
    • If the MC barges inside the council room when Mikazaki is about to rape Mayumi, a massive one takes place for him as he loudly calls the other man out. Swearing included. And it's even more awesome for Yumi, who then reveals that she had suspected Mikazaki for a long time and kept dating him to get more info, and concludes with a short "The Reason You Suck" Speech to him.
    • If the MC bumps into Yumi in September after the incident, a drunkard will beat him up while he tries to protect Yumi. Yumi will go Badass Teacher on the drunkard to protect him, then.
    • The MC standing up for Remi and risking getting shot by her kidnapper. It was a prop gun, but the MC didn't know it until he WAS shot so he still comes off as damn badass for standing his ground despite the perceived/real/etc. danger.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Mikazaki not only attempted to blackmail and rape Mayumi, but it's not the first time he does it to female students... He's been doing suich things for at least a year, greatly traumatising a graduate who later confessed this (without saying his name) to Yumi.
  • Player Punch: The "Mikae snaps on the MC and breaks off with him if he rescues Remi and mentions her in the second Mikae date" incident becomes this when you find out exactly what the apparently innocuous date means to her. The poor girl had placed all her hopes and dreams on that date, dammit!
  • Tear Jerker:
    • "... I feel like a slut." Oh, Mayumi...
    • "You will find someone else. Someone better than me". Oh, Misako...
  • Values Dissonance: If the MC runs into Miyuki after her Sick Episode and she apologizes for it, he will tell her that feeble girls are cute as they invoke men's desire to protect them. What's a well-intentioned but awkward attempt to give her some solace after the incident comes off as needlessly sexist in the West - a simple "don't worry, it happens, but please take better care of yourself next time" would've worked much better.
  • The Woobie: Almost all the girls have some shades of this, but the biggest cases are Yumi, Ryoko/Sonoko and Mayumi.
