I.INTRODUCTION
~ Shuffle your destiny~
Shuffle wasn't that amazing, but it is interesting.
I almost went away from playing bishoujo games for like 3 years
now, but Shuffle! makes the comeback...Why? I don't know, maybe
because the art appeals me? And I'm surprised that Shuffle! is
actually quite a well known game to the otaku culture...unlike
some other games which had gone down the drain without much
publicity and kept so underground, that you have to be extremely
hardcore to get it. But either way I digress.
This game only applies to the PC version only, I don't have the
PS2 version, but maybe one day if I get to pick it up I might
give it a try.
Shuffle! is a story about Tsuchimi Rin, your typical high school
guy, who lost his parents during young age due to an accident.
But unlike other orphanges, he lived under the Fuyou house ever
since then, and grew up from there. In Fuyou house lived a little
sweetheart named Kaede Fuyou (she is a perfect sweetheart, err,
in the game at least), She can at the level of Belldandy*, except
the only difference of that : Kaede is human, while Belldandy
is a Goddess...Kaede also lost her mother as well, and her father
always off for business in outstation, so only Kaede and Rin are
living together as of current. (Shuffle!'s sequel game Really?
Really! will explain more on that field.)
10 years ago, An incident known as Kaimon opened the gates to
the Realm of Gods and Demons. Because of the incident, like Earth
has added 2 new country into it's book, Peoples of Gods and Demons
started to blend in human's life, and started to live with the
humans. Now, we'll see 3 races in this game : Human, God, Demon.
They can share the same public space anywhere, and lived harmony
among each other. Sounds like an ideal fantasy to me.
Rin and Kaede are determined by the public as one true couple,
and poor Rin always got targetted by those jealous people. But
that adds the blow even deeper when Rin, on one coincidence, met
two girls in one Sunday, Where he met Lisianthus (known as Sia)
and Nerine (Short formed "Rin" as well), on the same day. Both
knows Rin, although Rin didn't notice that at first.
Monday during school, Rin recieved news from her teacher Benibara
saying that there will be 2 new transfer students. And they were
both females. At first Rin didn't care much, but it came to his
attention when he found out that Lisianthus and Nerine were actually
the transfer students. What's interesting, they were accompanied by
their fathers. Lisianthus is actually the daughter of the King of
Gods (Shinoh), and Nerine is actually the daughter of the King of
Demons (Maoh). And both are comical characters to boot.
Two gods announced the most shocking news (ever) : Rin will have
to make a choice between Sia or Nerine, to be his wife. If he
choose either Sia or Nerine to be his wife, he will get to wield
either God powers or Demon powers from their respective parents...
depending on which he chose, of course. Honestly, I'll take both,
because making choices are so not my forte.
The days of harem began for Rin even since. Now Rin has to choose :
It's either Sia, Nerine, or Kaede. Got caught in the Square based
relationship? That's wonderful. My vote goes to Nerine if I really
have to choose. Kicking in Asa Shigure and Primula to the picture,
You, who will be playing as Rin, will face selections on which girl
you're willing to end up with.
This game did gave me an enjoyable experince, though not excelled
in terms of storytelling, but the premises of conceptualization is
quite well done. Other than that it's just another fanservice game.
But if you're bored, going through the story is actually enjoyable.
Well, if you can distinguish between Fantasy and Reality, then you
are more than welcome to try this game. Pictures are pretty, but
they aren't real.

III. WALKTHROUGH
~Girls that will make a difference to your life and destiny.~
WARNING
- THIS WALKTHROUGH WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS OF THE GAME. GO THROUGH
IT AT YOUR OWN RISK -

-
Going on to the walkthrough...
The walkthrough will include 5 character's route : Lisianthus,
Nerine, Kaede, Asa, and Primula, use the code below to jump on
any specific sections if you don't like scrolling. Hold CTRL and
press F, and key in the code to find the particular section you
want to reach. Say, if you're looking for Asa Shigure, you type
in "asa102ama" and press enter, savvy?
To read the Japanese texts, go View -> Encoding -> Japanese (Auto
Select) -OR- Japanese (Shift-JIS). Works for both IE and Firefox.
Provided if you're installing the game, you need to have your
Windows regional setting set to Japanese. Just google around if
you don't know how, the steps are easy and it's quite common for
a Q & A thing so I'm not going there.
Now, provided that if you get your installation successfully done
and all, let's get on to the controls.
The controls are easy, you just need a mouse, and left click all
the way to proceed the story. The first option on the main menu is
always Game Start, second option is always Continue, third option
is "Omake" but you have to clear at least one girl's path to
unlock it. And the fourth option is to exit back to Windows. That
is for main menu, by the way.
Once you clicked Game Start, the game will begin. To save, go up
to the menu bar, there should be three options, ファイル (File),
表示 (View), and ヘルプ (Help). Go to File and choose the very first
option, セーフ (Save). Pick any spot in the save window and click
once to save. Beware, always take your time to save it, because
the game will not prompt options in saving progress, so make sure
you take your time and save properly.
To Load your game during the gameplay, simply go to View again,
choose the second option, ロード (Load), pick any one of the save
file(s) that you want to load, and click once to load.
Some tips though, right click to hide the window (Ahem, I know
you will use this function during THAT scene. Admit it.) and if
you feel like skipping the message, find the option スキップ (Skip)
and you'll skip the entire scene, possibly from the start until
the end in just 10 minutes. It will stop skipping when you're
prompted an option during gameplay. The skip feature will not
work during the sex scene. I wonder why...
You also have the オート(Auto) option, this will play through
messages automatically, and you don't need to click to proceed.
This is extremely useful for...better not go there.
表示 (View) option is for you to mess with the settings for Shuffle!
Youcan set the message speed, BGM control for the game, and etc.
ヘルプ (Help) option is self explainatory, it brings up the Help
menu about how to play this game.
Okay.
After the basic tutorial, it's time to get into the walkthrough.
INDEX OF WALKTHROUGH

- Asa Shigure (asa102ama)
- Primula (pri1203)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LISIANTHUS リシアンサス(sia1kik)
Lisianthus (or Sia) is the daughter of the King of Gods. Cute and
cheerful, she is considered a royal among the Gods. Rin actually
met her 8 years ago. The King of God took Sia along when they came
to the human world for some diplomatic business. Sia found the
inspection to be extremely boring and escaped the event, in the end
she got lost, It was during that time she met Rin, and befriended
each other easily during their first met. Sia has an affection to
rain, and Rin questions her affection since whoever likes rain must
be a depressed and gloomy person, which in opposite Sia doesn't
looked like one. Her reason of liking rain is actually one of the
major plot for Sia's path, and you have to find it out on your own.
Academic wise, Sia is average, but a failure in both English and
History, the reason why she is a failure is because she hated the
subjects, and I have no idea why as it was never explained.
Sia has 3 mothers. Since in Heaven, there is a benefit where you
can have more than one wife. We know Rin is a perverted pimp, so
he will most likely get 2 or 3 more wives after marrying Sia...In
the anime version, Sia's personality is extreme enough to make the
game version of Sia lovely.(though this is my own opinion...)
Sia is also both bold and straight in actions sometimes, and doesn't
feel shy to say it out loud. Though it sometimes create troubles to
Rin. Her father (Shinoh) often screws himself up by always giving
unwanted troubles for both Rin and Sia, which often ended up
providing endless comical relieve to the audiences.

NERINE ネリネ (ner24lyc)
Nerine, or sometimes nicknamed "Rin", (Sia and Mayumi calls her
Rin-chan, Despite Mayumi being a half demon.), is the daughter of
the King of Demons. Gentle, kind and soft-spoken; but ironically
bad at choirs and cooking, which is the polar opposite of her
biological mother, Sage.
It was also 8 years ago that Nerine first met Rin (I found the
word "fate" to be extremely biased for Rin), when Nerine was
wandering around the human world by herself, gotten lost and did
not know the way back home, Rin found her on the playground and
they spent time playing with each other. In the end, Nerine
developed a crush on Rin.
Nerine has a wonderful singing voice, which net her the title of
"The Angel Bell" by her friends around - but she does not like
the title. Which Rin noticed.
Nerine has a good control of magic, more so than Sia, which she
can easily destroy things that surrounds her; If only she was
actually triggered by irrational anger, it was evident when one
actually badmouths Rin, a guy whom she loves. It was also noted
that her magic is so powerful that it can destroy two cities in
one blast - Which she proved herself to be a capable bodyguard
for Rin.
Nerine excels at almost every subject, except for P.E and Home
Economics. Her story is considered one of the simplest and typical
for most of the Shuffle! fanbase, which in resulted in Nerine
being the most underrated Shuffle! girls of all time, to make up
for it, Navel developed Tick! Tack! game, a sequel for Shuffle!
on Nerine's path as a story to further emphasizes more on Nerine's
background and her family and serves as a bonus for Nerine fans.

KAEDE FUYOU 芙蓉 楓 (kae131)
Kaede is a sweetheart childhood friend of Rin where she lost her
mother 8 years ago together with Rin's parents. Her story in the
anime version was actually better than the game (see the section
below for more details). Her personality can be a double edge
sword due to a traumatic experience both of them had during their
younger days...
Kaede is basically a perfect, ideal housewife. Excelled in cooking,
choirs, and studies. And a "maid" to Rin as well, basically her
image is like a total devoted wife of Rin though both of them are
just childhood friends. Rin had troubles getting used to Kaede's
devotion though it wasn't as serious as what he had thought to be.
Kaede rarely gets angry and puts on smiling on her face throughout
the majority of the game. Because of the extremely sweet personality
she was crowned "The Princess of Barbena High School" where almost
every males couldn't resist her (as do I). To an extreme, some
devoted fans of Kaede created a "KKK" clan to worship Kaede (KKK
stands for Kitto Kitto Kaede, I know. Please stop the Ku Klux Klan
jokes thank you), and tried very hard to prevent Rin from being
close to Kaede, though in the game, it plays a very minor role
yet it does give big troubles to Rin when the KKK members rushes
for a "revenge" on Rin. In addition of that, Kaede can be a ditzy
girl at times, not knowing of what she might stumbled across
until it's too late.
Kaede is excellent in studies as mentioned above, and basically if
there is a real life version of Kaede, she would be your perfection
selection for a wife.

ASA SHIGURE 亜沙 時雨 (asa102ama)
Asa is Rin's friend and a senior, being one year older than Rin.
Asa is perhaps one of the best character in Shuffle! series, and
also the famous character in the Shuffle! fanbase.
In contrast to Kaede, Asa is much outgoing, cheerful and hyper,
which includes her trademark greeting to Rin : Hitting on Rin's
back without notice. In end created a love and hate relationship
between the two. Asa acts like a sister to Rin, giving advices and
sometimes helped Rin in various stuff. Asa knows Rin and Kaede
during Junior High, and she was the one that trainned Kaede to be
a good cook, a reason why Kaede was excellent in cooking would be
the reason - And sometimes giving her various recipies to try out
for Rin. Nerine was also being taught by Asa as well, as a skill
for Nerine to must have as a marriage candidate for Rin. In addition
to that, Asa is also an excellent cook herself, which comes off as
a surprise to Rin and others because Asa doesn't look like one, so
she is nicknamed "Shocking Shigure".
Asa is accompanied with one of her friends, Kareha. Which is one
of the Gods, and also Asa's classmate.
Currently Asa is living with her mother. Ama. who is also well liked
by some fans, some hated her as well. Ama might look like a mother,
but she acts differently and does not look like she's one. Though
there might be a reason behind it.
Asa extremely dislikes magic, though the reason behind it is unknown
to Rin.

PRIMULA プリムラ (pri1203)
Primula is a strange soft spoken girl that looks like 12 or 13,
Actually she is older than she looks.
To begin her background, Primula is neither a demon, a god,
nor a human either. Shinoh and Maoh once conducted a research on
lifeforms to expand the powers of magic. The purpose of the
research is to turn from limitations of magic into endless
possiblities. Therefore, an artificial lifeform has to be created
to make this possible. The first subject used turned to be an error
due to the lifeform's body couldn't sustain such powerful magic
infused onto it, in return the whole research center was destroyed
and the plan went horribly backfired. Therefore, to continue the
research, they learned the mistake and revised the plan, and a
second subject - the first ever artificial lifeform with a massive
magic ability was used, but in the end it again went backfired but
instead of the same mistake, the subject went missing (heavily
related to the game's overall plot). Primula is the third subject
to the project and is actually the second artificial lifeform to
continue the research instead of using existing lifeform. It was a
success, though the result wasn't entirely satisfying due to the
imbalance it creates.
Initially Primula doesn't have emotions. Her behaviour might have
been a result of isolation she had during her younger days. Her
reason of being in the story was because she had heard of Rin
from someone she knew when she was in the research center. Eager
to know who Rin actually is, she escaped herself from the research
center and went to the human world to began her search for Rin,
in the end she found him. Shinoh and Maoh was surprised as first,
but in the end they let Primula staying with Rin and Kaede for
reasons.
People often mistook Primula as a child because of her body size,
because of it Rin was experiencing troubles bringing her along,
dealing more blows to Rin's repultation as if having Sia, Nerine
and Kaede wasn't enough for a feed of jealousy (poor Rin). Because
of Primula's having shallow knowledges on human world, it embarasses
Rin even more when Primula directly began to cling on Rin, creating
a scene at the school.
Primula has no knowledge on bras, the only humor that creates a big
embarassment to Rin and possibly Kaede and others, too.
Pathway :
*To get Primula, you have to complete either Lisianthus, Nerine,
or Kaede's path to get it, without either one of the paths cleared,
you'll be redirected to Kaede's path regardless of your attempt.

That's all there is to it. Sure, there are 2 more characters
that were added in the PS2 version of Shuffle! (Shuffle! On the
Stage), but since I'm not focusing on the PS2 version, and I
didn't play the game. So unless you're contributing, I don't
think I'll include it in.
Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------
IV. ANIME INTRODUCTION AND THE DIFFERENCE
~ Another Shuffle! Another Story~
The anime version of Shuffle! was aired during July 7th, and ended
it with a 24 episode anime. There is a recap anime series named
"Shuffle! Memories" which it was aired during January 2007. It
primarily is a series of recap episodes that describes the events
of Shuffle! for the main female characters. Only the last episode
contains 100% original scenes.
The difference in between the game and the anime is vast, there
are lots of changes and edits - which the anime actually describes
the story in a more dramatic fashion compared to the game, which
is rather dull, in my opinion. Both stories has it's strengths
and weaknesses, but nonetheless you can put game and anime as
two different entities, it is advisable to play the game first
then watch the anime.
This section is to serve as a record of the differences, mainly
to show what has been edited, what's included, and what's not.
This section is currently incomplete for the moment, I don't
know when I'll actually finish the section, but I'll try my best
to reach the target.
This section will not include whatever that is from Tick! Tack!
and Really? Really! because this FAQ is for Shuffle! only. Which
in any case it's pointless since majority of Tick! Tack! and
Really? Really! game plot has nothing to do with the anime.
NOTE THOUGH, THERE WILL BE MASSIVE SPOILERS AFTER THIS LINE, IF
YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SPOILED, STEP BACK, CLICK BACK, OR CLOSE
THE WINDOW. DO NOT PROCEED ANYWHERE FURTHER.
SPOILERS WILL START AFTER THIS LINE.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
SPOILERS/CRITICAL PLOT DETAILS FOLLOWED. WARNING! PROCEED WITH
CAUTION.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-
-*~ Lisianthus and Kikiyou ~*-
- Lisianthus is much more active and hyper, bolder and daring in
the anime compared to her game counterpart.
- Lisianthus's twin sister, Kikiyou's real identity was never
explained in details in the anime, instead, Kikiyou is just, Sia's
inner personality, twin sister. Unlike in the game, Kikiyou is
the demon entity of Sia, and Sia is actually half demon. Hence
the major difference. However, the reason behind why Kikiyou's
story being unborn remians the same for both versions. Except
in the game, it was added, I'm not too sure about the details,
and I would apprecite the kindness if you submit the reason
behind Kikiyou's unable to get born as a seperate entity in the
game version.
- The confession of Rin to Sia during Ep.9 after they got lost
in the beach never happend in the game. Even though you're going
through her path. Of course, the beach scenario in the game version
was extremely simplified. The whole Sia and Rin stranded on the
island was just added by the anime staff.
- Kikiyou in the anime is extremely ******. err and crazy as well,
the story where they skipped school and go dating never happend in
the game. But then her full screentime only lasted for an episode.
In the game, she was actually well behaved.
- Kikiyou's name was NEVER mentioned in the anime. Well in fact,
Kikiyou's name was never mentioned in the game as well until the
very end (and only if you went Sia's path)
- Instead of accepting Kikiyou's existance, in the anime version,
she seems to dissapear after Ep.17. Though she might appear out
of nowhere... but it should be a moot point since Sia and Rin will
most likely WON'T END UP being together. Kikiyou was there in the
game version until the very end. So to Rin, scoring Sia also means
scoring Kikiyou. 2 in 1. EDIT : It seems that she reappeared during
Ep.22...
- Sia's childhood was only briefly explained in the game, but in
the anime version, it shows almost everything. Including young
Sia (Young Sia is cute, very very cute <3).
- Sia never said the line "there are no gods and buddhas in the
world" in the game version. In fact, Sia BARELY passed her exams
in the game version, In the anime version, she fai..led more than
3 subjects, that's what I assumed...Yeah, God bless her.
- In the game, there is a scene where Mayumi asked Kaede about
first kiss, then Sia told everyone that she has the experience, and
she gave it to Rin 8 years ago. In the anime version, though the
"Asking about first kiss" scene never happend, Sia did kissed Rin
during their share with an umbrella during raining.
- Sia's conflict and arguement with Kikiyou never happend in the
game (even if she has, you wouldn't know). In the anime, Sia can
communicate with Kikiyou through the mirror, though that as well
never happend in the game version of it.
- Of course, the anime doesn't end up in Sia's path, so Sia's
dissapearance and Kikiyou's takeover, the sex scene with Sia, and
Kikiyou; As well as Kikiyou found her name + Rin used a little of
his magic also never happend in the anime.
- In ep.6, the whole buying bra for Primula scene was expanded,
Sia was NEVER there during the bra buying scene in the game.
- The anime NEVER stated that Lisianthus and Nerine are cousins.
But in the game, it isn't that explict either...I was extremely
shocked to found out that Sia and Nerine are actually cousins...
- Shinoh having three wives was also never explained in the anime
(though I don't think it ever will be explained), and Shinoh's
first wive is a demon was never explained, and of course, His
first wive is actually Maoh's sister was never explained as
well.
- Sia never explained who she was born under in the anime, but
in the game, Sia's biological mother is actually Maoh's sister.
Named Cineraria, think of her as a hybrid version of Kareha and
Mayumi. Though the rest of Shinoh's wives are God (2 of them),
but they were never explained in the anime version. Making Sia
half god half demon, a mixed. Of course, Maoh's sister was supposed
to born a twins, but Kikiyou didn't manage to get born...hence the
double personality. And one interesting note : Sia's biological
mother looks EXTREMELY like Asa Shigure. Except the hairstyle.
Well it's quite of common in most of the animes error though...
- Sia never went to school with Rin. Rin always arrive at the
class first before Sia. They never walk together. I think there
was once where Sia and Rin walk together to school in the game
version, but I don't exactly remember anymore.
- During Kaede's sick scene, If you didn't go through Asa's path,
Sia will coming to your house alone and take care of Rin's dinner.
In the anime version, it's Asa, Nerine and Sia three of them. Sia
is a good cook apparently.
- During the school test scenario, Rin never went to Sia's house
for revision together. But in the anime, they did, and fanservice
ensures.
- Sia never went to summer school in the game. Though in the anime
it isn't shown either.
- Sequences in Ep.10 (anime) NEVER happened in the game. (The
Moonlight Confession), even though if you played Sia's route.
- Ep.8 where Sia dated Rin in the park, Sia using "victory panties",
and the place where Rin comforts Masato (the pervert kid) never
happend in the game. The only thing it bears on similarity during
both version of their dating would be the interuption. In anime,
both of their dates were interuptted by almost everyone. But in
the game, their date was discovered by Mayumi.
- The most funniest scene in Ep.10, where Sia hit Shinoh because of
the stupid rumors never happened in the game. Aww man.
- Sia never looked at the mirror before. In the anime, she did. But
of course, since you played as Rin all the time, you wouldn't even
notice if she talks to Kikiyou on the mirror or not...
- Kikiyou admitted to Rin that she was actually not Sia during
their first met in the game version never happend in the anime
version, though the game listed her as "Inner Sia" at first. But in
the anime, Rin doesn't even know the difference until Sia admits it
during the end of ep 17, and Rin doesn't even know how to
differenciete it, making Kikiyou fooled Rin rather easily. Compare
to the anime version and the game version of Rin, Rin is much more
awared. While in the anime version he is extremely dense. I mean,
if you have gone through Nerine's real background + Sia's sudden
change of a behaviour, you would think he is well awared...
- The scene where Sia refuses Rin to see Primula in ep.13 never
happend in the game (this will be explained in details in Primula
and Nerine's part)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-*~ Nerine and Lycoris ~*-
Compare to Nerine in the game version than in the anime version,
the anime version of Nerine has a deeper backstory, but bland in
personality than in the game, in fact, both versions of Nerine
are bland in personality... Tick! Tack! makes up for it, Bravo!
- Nerine is essentially the same as what she is in the anime, in
personality wise.
- Lycoris can actually be seen in the anime, unlike in the game
where you only see one picture of young Lycoris. Nerine and
Lycoris are good friends, and Lycoris made Nerine seemed like
nothing in the anime version as well. Compare to the game, Lycoris
is just mentioned, though I can see the reason being the game
staff wanted to focus more on Nerine, if there is one though.
- Nerine never stated that she hates singing in the anime version,
unlike in the game version, where she hates it very much.
- Nerine never walk with Rin during the whole game sequence,
unlike in the anime version, where she go together with Sia and
Rin, and Kaede as well.
- In ep.6, the whole buying bra for Primula scene was expanded,
Nerine was NEVER there during the bra buying scene in the game.
That, of course, she never tried wearing bras and asked for Rin's
opinion...it's all an add up.
- In the game, Nerine and Lycoris are one and the same, really
merged, but in the anime it seems to not bring out the whole
impression of "merged" really well, in essence it's almost like
Chii in Chobits. Where Chii also had another existence of herself.
The anime version of Nerine is none other than having the same
concept as Sia and Kikiyou in both versions. In other words, the
whole "Nerine is Lycoris, Lycoris is Nerine" thing is much better
potraited in the game rather than in the anime.
- Nerine's sickness during her childhood never happend in the
game. But the truth that Nerine is sick when she was a child was
true in both version. But it's just briefly explained.
- Of course, the whole Lycoris giving Nerine back her lifeforce
in the game was not really directly explained (they just explain
merged...however, take it as Lycoris gave back her life to Nerine
is true in the game), in the anime, it was shown in experience
you get to see Lycoris in person, and the whole Nerine childhood.
The whole scene was expanded, so that Nerine's background depth
was added.
- Lycoris being the second test type Artificial Lifeform is still
true in both version. The only difference was, since Lycoris never
really appeared in the game...(only one CG about her), everything
is only briefly explained. But it strikes as a true keypoint to
Nerine's path. The only time where Lycoris appears throughout all
Shuffle! would be only in Tick! Tack!, the sequel of Shuffle!
- Nerine never had much interaction with Primula in the game
version, but in the anime version, they at least interacted much
more than what you saw in the game version.
- As stated in Lisianthus section, the anime version didn't state
that Sia and Nerine are cousins.
- Nerine can't do choirs, but in the anime version it shows
Nerine's incompetant even worse than what she is in the anime
version. This can be proved by looking at Ep.4.
- In the anime, Asa is the one teaching Nerine how to cook at
least one dish. But in the game version, it's Nerine who self
taught herself how to cook (or Maoh taught her, I'm not exactly
too sure about this), but the dish that she learnt was the same :
Omelette...
- And of course, to continue the point above, The scene where Rin
asked Nerine about her secret in the anime never happend in the
game. And the picnic scene never happend in the game, but instead
it was replaced with only Rin testing out her dish at Nerine's
house, only both Nerine and Rin alone. That only happens if you
follow her path.
- Nerine (Lycoris actually) and Rin never went to the arcade before
in the game during their childhood. In the anime version they did,
that's how Primula got her first doll from. Though in the game
version it might be explained. But the quote where it explains by
Primula regarding "This doll was given by Lycoris, "This is my
first and last...love" is what she said" is there in both versions.
- In the game version, Nerine used...Meteors..ye..yeah, Meteors to
punish those delinquents, followed with lightning strikes, multiple
attacks and lastly one huge energy ball. In the anime version it
was slightly different, but the end result is the same, a portion
of the school was destroyed...
- Nerine fed Rin during lunch scene in the game never happend in
the anime. Nerine in the anime version is extremely shy, unlike in
the game version, which she is at least... a bit bolder in action.
- The scene where Nerine wears her school swimsuit (-1000 points
for Maoh) in her school pool scene was changed. In Ep.9 during the
beach scene, everyone wears sexy swimsuit, only Primula and Nerine
wears school swimsuit. The effects are the same though. Rin
requested Nerine to change a better swimsuit, and Midoriba praised
Rin for it.
- Ep.10 where Nerine cried during her confession to Rin never
happend in the game.
- Ep.12 where Nerine asked Primula to be returned from Rin to Maoh
and Shinoh in the anime never happend in the game. (The details
will be explained under Primula's path.
- Ep.13 where Nerine refuses Rin to see Primula also never happend
in the game. Though the scene after this is where Nerine confessed
to Rin about Lycoris is there. In the game it was executed in a very
different way.
- Of course, Nerine's absence for few days in the game never happend
in the anime version. Followed by a series of Rin found Nerine on
the rooftop, confession, and gambling between Rin and Nerine also
didn't happend in the anime, since the anime doesn't follow Nerine's
path.
- In Ep.14 where Nerine finally agrees to bring Rin to see Primula
did not happend in the game.
- In Ep.15 where Lycoris suddenly appeared and helped Primula to
regain her conciousness never happend in the game. The whole Rin
went to Makai scene actually never happend in the game.
- Nerine found out that Asa likes Rin never happend in the game.
- Nerine's "gave up" scene on Rin in the anime was excecuted wayyyy
differently. Nerine never said the line "You already have someone else
that you liked, you just haven't discover it yet" never exist in the
game, even though you don't go through Nerine's path.
- The whole Nerine was annoyed when people asked her to sing scene
in the game never happend in the anime. And the whole Rin getting
curious and asked Nerine about her dislike on singing also never
happend in the anime.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-*~ Kaede Fuyou ~*-
Kaede's personality in the anime is so much, very much different
than what you saw in the game. Because of her total character
revamping, she is considered by some people to be the best Shuffle!
character ever. In contrast to the game version, where Kaede's
personality is almost the same as Belldandy of Ah! My Goddess.
(There are differences but I don't know how to say this...), in
the anime version, the whole reason behind Kaede serving Rin like
a maid without complains was explained much more detailed. It made
Kaede in the anime version either a loved, or hated character by
Shuffle! viewers.
- Kaede in the game version was a gentle, shy, kind, and happy
girl. Even if there is a backstory behind all this, it only did
brought minor differences to the Shuffle! plot. Kaede is by far
the weakest character in Shuffle! game, in my opinion. But in the
anime version, Kaede's impact to Rin's life was strong, and
definitely it brought a scar to both Asa Shigure and Tsuchimi
Rin. Because Kaede is a psycho.
- Kaede's backstory was deeply explained in the anime version.
Remember the line "People like you better off dead"? In the game
version it was only mentioned once in the game, during Kaede's
path. but in the anime, it was mentioned several times.
- In Ep.05, Kaede's sickness scene was greatly expanded compared
to the game version. Rin never went to school and took a day off
taking care of Kaede. Primula went out and get some suitable
ingredients to make some medicine, and during at night, Kaede
was emo over having sick and can't join Rin, Sia, Nerine and Asa
for the dinner. And in the end, Rin shared with Kaede with the
leftover dishes, and Kaede cried, half naked (it's normal for you
to be half naked and get your body cleaned up since you can't
take baths during sick anyway) over Rin and Rin ended up giving
words of encouragement. Those scenes never happend in the game.
In the game, Kaede gets sick, Rin asked her to take the rest, but
Kaede asked Rin to go to school anyway, and back home after class
Rin tries to cook dinner but failed. Depending on the route you
choose,Sia will come and cook for you. If you're choosing Asa's
route, Asa and Kareha will cook for you. And in the end you
accompanied Kaede after Sia/Asa/Kareha's leave. Kaede mumbled
during her sleep. So in comparision, the anime version of Kaede's
sickness was much better, though it's favorable or not would be
up to you...
- The dream where Rin had during the start of Ep.05 was only a
black screen + texts scenario in the game version. but in the anime,
it actually shows young Kaede saying horrible words to young rin,
while crying, as a flashback.
- Of course, almost every scene you see in Ep.05, is not included in
the game, if there is, it's different from what you see in the game.
- In Ep 08. Kaede was troubled when she stumbled across Sia and Rin
in the arcade center during the dating. She became depressed. Though
the scene never happend in the game, this adds the depth to her
personality. Kaede is gentle, sweet, kind and loyal. But her jealousy
is the one that will destroy everything she has on her hands. The
whole thing became worse during Ep18...
- In Ep.09, Kaede was totally neglected during the whole scene. but
in the game, she has at least one CG scene where Mayumi and Kaede
pulled Rin over and play beach volleyball. Though Rin lost...
- There is a scene where Rin accidentally fall over Kaede in Rin's
room during the usual "I'm calling you up" scene, that never happend
in the anime version.
- In the game, there is a scene where Kaede took Rin's clothes and
sew it up because Rin's uniform got damage during his escape from the
KKK group. Kaede accidentally sew his uniform along with her skirt,
so when Kaede lift the uniform up it accidentally showed Kaede's pink
panties. And Kaede screamed. That never happend in the anime. But it
brings up a character difference, Kaede in the game is an extremely
ditzy person, but in the anime version, she doesn't look like one...
- To further emphasized on Kaede's ditzyness, Kaede never realized
Rin was naked during his morning bath. (Rin, why didn't you lock
the door when bathing...), and Kaede went into the bathroom and
found Rin naked. This is the first time, but Kaede never respond
to such embarassment, but to return later, naked. So it makes Rin
double embarassed, but sex scene happens after this. So I believed
that the whole purpose of Kaede being such ditzy during this scene
was that Kaede wants to make love with Rin. Of course, that didn't
happen in the anime. There is a Kaede naked scene in the anime, but
it's entirely different in execution altogether.
- In ep.10, Since the whole Sia and Rin being rumored as going to
married scene doesn't happend in the game. Obvious the whole Kaede
gone so depressed in mood scene doesn't happend in the game.
- In ep.12, the whole Kaede taking care of Primula scene didn't
happen in the anime (See Primula section for more details.)
- Of course, Kaede going with Rin, Sia and Nerine to the Makai world
is also a moot point. Since it doesn't happend in the game.
- Kaede crying over Primula's dissapearance in Ep.13 also never
happend in the game.
- At the end of Ep.18, the whole focus on Kaede started. But even
though Asa and Rin ended up being a couple in the anime version, at
most Kaede will just cry over Asa's shoulder and just justify her
love for Rin, and decides to love Rin even more than before, even
though she will not end up being with Rin together. Kaede and Asa's
relationship never gone bad, at most it was just a little
misunderstanding between both of them, but the anime version took
the whole relationship (Triangle love relationship) and blow it out
of the proportion. (Details will be posted more on Asa's section
below)
- Since Rin's indecesiveness during Asa's dating never happend in
the game, Kaede throwing the dinner away during midnight in the
end of Ep.18 never happend in the game as well. Even if it did
happen, you wouldn't know, since you're Rin. But given the light
hearted mood that the game was set on, I don't think Kaede has
acted like a scary psycho that can snap anytime in the game.
- Primula was quite afraid of Kaede's change in Ep.18, 19, and
20 never happend in the game.
- In Ep.19. During the whole half of the episode where it explains
about Kaede and Rin's situation after their Kaede's mother and both
Rin'sparents died were never shown in the game, in Asa's story path,
it was just explained in text by Rin himself, and in Kaede's path
it was also explained briefly. (only the cutter part, which was
the best part of Ep19 in my opinion.), but in the anime version,
it was shown right in front of you - How it happend, how it goes
on and such.
- To elaborate more, Kaede's mum and Rin's parents were off to
overseas for working. Which however, during their return after the
work, an accident happend which caused Rin's parents and Kaede's mum
died. And Kaede were having an extreme emotional shock over having to
lost her mum, to make things worse, Kaede was in bad body condition,
which worsen her body condition even more after the burial ceremony.
Rin, feeling useless for not being able to cheer up Kaede after 2
weeks (Kaede was in vegetable state, and lost her will to live on),
made a lie to Kaede that it's Rin himself who caused both their loved
one died. Which made Kaede regain conciousness, but not in her normal
state anymore. Kaede chocked Rin almost to death, but manage to stop
herself from going worse. Rin and Kaede's relationship gone from
something to nothing, perhaps, negative.
Day by day, Kaede acted as if nothing has happend since then, but
she always tried to kill Rin. Everyday Kaede will do something that
hurts Rin. Such as the infamous 'throwing the cutter and hurt Rin's
forehead from upstairs' (Rin was in downstairs picking up Kaede's
pencilcase, Kaede intentionally dropped it from above and asked
Rin to pick them up). Sometimes Kaede even locked the door from
inside, and doesn't let Rin to come in. Though after that Kaede
followed Rin from behind and called out the famous "Why are you
still alive? People like you better off dead!" line. On that day
it was raining. Up until now, all of these never happend in the
game itself, except the rainy day and the line Kaede said to Rin.
Even though it happens in Asa's Route, it's only a brief
explaination.
5 years before the Shuffle! timeline. Kaede intentionally broke
Rin's favourite model ship, and found a postcard in there. There
she learned about Kaede's mother real death. She didn't die because
of Rin, she died because Kaede's mother was making a surprise to
Kaede because her mother missed her so much, but wasn't being able
to accompany Kaede due to the workload, it's just a bad day for
Kaede to have such experience... Rin stopped Kaede from reading
more about the postcard. And Kaede was shocked to found out that
among all these years, she has been doing such horrible things
to Rin. Couldn't accept the fact, she ran away from home...and
nearly got into accident, Rin saved her. Kaede cried on Rin's
arms, saying "Sorry" for more than 15 times. After that, Kaede
started to have a change towards Rin, and devoted her life to
serve Rin, as to repent her sins. The concept in the game is
the same. But executed in an extremely different way.
- Rin and Asa's dating during Ep.18 never happend, obviously Rin
and Asa never took sticky photos before, therefore Kaede used a
marker to mark Asa's part never happend in the game. (Usually when
girl A marked a girl B's face in any photo, it means that girl A
wants girl B to be dead. Sort of like a voodoo).
- Kaede snapped after Rin brought Asa back home, And triggered
Asa's terminal illness during ep.19 was only in the anime version,
in the game version, it never happend. Another good part about
Ep.19, of course. Shuffle! became a drama...
- Kaede asked Rin for shopping during ep.19 was anime version only.
In the game, again, it doesn't happend. On personal note though :
I have an extreme distaste on Rin during this part, because all he
cared was Asa, he never cared about Kaede's feelings. Which made
Kaede gone crazy at the first place. In essence, Rin has to take
part of the responsiblity as well. But he NEVER did. Bastard...
- Kaede cancelled the shopping plan also never happend in the game.
- Kaede never cooked for dinner during the night time also never
happend in the game.
- Of course, Kaede had never said the line "People like you should
be dead" to Asa in the game. Anime only
- Kaede crying after Asa got sent to hospital during ep.20 never
happend in the game. Though I felt really sorry for Kaede. If I
am a human, I would hug her, and comfort her. And yes, this is
realistic enough, there are situations like that happend in real </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
life, because I experienced it before (I'm not the victim, it was
my friend, female though, she cried on my shoulders and I comforted
her. The reason would have to be kept secret, it's not your
business to know). So when I saw that scene, that particular scene
brought back the incident that I was supposed to not remember
anymore. Kaede was really sad and depressed. Though that never
happend in the game.
- Kaede's attitude change in Ep.20 was never included in the game.
Rin became worse and only care for Asa also never happend in the
game. Though the game version of Rin never neglected Kaede. Even
though you went for Asa's path. Rin always cared for everyone,
like in the anime, Everyone stressed that Rin is a kind hearted
person. But being a jerk in Ep.19 and 20 certainly doesn't seem
like it. Of course, Kaede skipping school and went back home for
condition checking was never in the game.
- The focus of Ep.20 where Kaede hugged Rin during his sleep,
naked was of course, never happend in the game. There are some
resemblance for both version of it. But seeing the anime version
took a totally different in direction, of course the whole outcome
came out differently.
- Rin leaving home never happend in the game. Guess what? Even
though you went Asa's path in the game. Rin NEVER left home. And
kept on living with Kaede. And Kaede never mind about it. Plus,
Kaede's devotion to Rin never change even though he chose Asa.
- Kaede's absence to school during ep.21 never happend in the game,
Of course, Kaede's sudden dissapearance during ep.21 never happend
as well. Though the reconcile between Kaede and Asa did happend in
the game but different version different scenario and execution,
but same outcome in the end. They hugged each other and cried out
loud. And that soothes down my heart a little bit.
- Rin reconciled with Kaede never happend in the game. Rin realized
that he did neglected Kaede during ep.19, and 20. And though Rin
loved Asa, Kaede will always hold a special place in his heart.
Kaede will also swear that she will never make the same mistake
again. And rediscover her feelings for Rin. Kaede actually fell
in love with Rin throughout all this time. Even since after Kaede
found out the truth behind the accident, Kaede already fell in
love with Rin. But since she always felt guilty and she never
being able to get over it, she never confessed to Rin. Therefore
their relationship never developes even after Sia and Nerine's
appearance.Though this also happend in the game. But the contrast
is different.This only happens if you went Kaede's path, in the game,
at first she refused your love, even though she loves you. The reason
behind it was the same. But different version, different execution,
and of course, the outcome was different...
- The scene where Rin and Kaede were experiencing or, playing with
fireworks together was maintained. The difference is that in the anime
version, it appeared as a flashback, but in the game version, it
appeares only if you are firmed to get Kaede out of the guilt that
she has all this while, this only happens if you go Kaede's path.
- The epilogue where Kaede kissed Rin in the game, never happend in
the anime. At least, not now. But it will most likely won't happen.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-*~ Asa Shigure & Ama Shigure ~*-
- Asa Shigure's personality is the same as what you have seen in
the anime, or the game itself. But the focus on Asa in the anime
version is amazing. But in the game, her backstory doesn't seem
simple as well. As for Ama...oooh, I'd rather you just read on...
- Asa Shigure first appeared during your way to school during
the game version, but in the anime version, she hit your back
INSIDE the school.
- The anime version of Asa always like to hit Rin's back, but in
the game version, I don't remember her hitting Rin more than 5
times a day...
- Ep.2 where Rin taking Primula home, along the way they met
Ama Shigure, and Ama gave a weird look on Primula, with the line
"Don't tell me..." (masaka...), all of those doesn't happend in
the game. But if you've played the game, it's obvious that both
were related to each other. Primula is the third test type subject,
While Ama, is the FIRST TEST TYPE SUBJECT, which she was suppose
to be, dead.
- Asa hates magic, and directly refuses to use it was directly
explained in the game. But in the anime version, the only time
where she refuses to use it was when her sickness kicks in during
Ep.15. I assume Nerine knows the full story about Asa. The word
"assume" was used because we never know whether Asa told Nerine
about herself before or not.
- Asa Shigure never taught Nerine how to cook before in the game.
Although the focus about Ep.4 is about Nerine, the whole Asa
teaching her how to make a dish was all add in. In the game, Nerine
only asked Asa to teach her how to cook more dishes, and that only
happens if you go Asa's path. It's safe to assume that what you've
seen in Ep.4 was just an add up.
- Asa is perfectly pretty in the game. In the anime version she is
just plain ugly...especially in Ep.7...
- The "Shocking Shigure" remark did happen in both versions, in the
game, she was just extremely embarassed. But in the anime, she just
got shocked and made Rin felt uneasy. Though I never understand why
Asa is so shocked over the "Shocking Shigure" remark...
- In Ep.3, the scene where Asa and Kareha talking about Sia was
different than what you've seen in the game. In the game it's about
a sort of survey for Rin about which girl would he chooose. But in
Ep.3 it's about Sia in general (why she can master Japanese while
being bad in English, etc...), if there is an error on this, feel
free to correct me.
- In ep.6, the whole buying bra for Primula scene was expanded,
whether it's for fanservice or not. Asa testing bra on herself and
ask for opinions from Rin NEVER happend in the game. Again, like
Sia, Asa is much more aggresive and doesn't feel shy to be bold in
sexual issues in front of Rin. In the game Asa is no where different,
but the game was much more reserved in this kind of issue, so it
feels much more natural for me.
- The begining of Ep.7 started from Asa's waking up to eating
breakfast scene was not in the game. it was all a made up additional
scene for the anime version.
- Takizawa NEVER appeared in the game, so obviously the confession
from Takizawa to Asa in ep.7 does not exist in the game.
- Asa never strained her ankle during P.E period on the game. But
in the anime, she did.
- Asa's reminiscene about when Kaede first joined in the Cooking
club was only explained in words from Asa herself when you visit
her house, in the game. But in the anime, it was shown in
flashback format.
- Asa kissed Rin during his first visit, but in the anime, they
only gone to NEARLY kiss level. Until Ama's interruption. To be
relevant, Ama didn't appear for the first time when Rin visited
Asa's house in the game. You first meet Ama on the street, and
she only appears if you go Asa's path.
- Asa's first sign of fainting is when she walks with you during
your way home (Should be around July part, take note). But in the
anime, Asa's first sign of having bad symptoms would be the beach
episode, Ep.9.
- Asa fainted during the P.E class in the game version does not
happend in the anime. But rather, Asa did faint when she was at
Rin's house, after discussing about what to do about Primula at
Ep.13.
- In Ep.9, Though the whole Asa lost her upper bra thingy was
maintained in the game, there are some difference, the reason
behind her lost on bra was not shown in the game, though it was
explained, but in the anime, she lost her bra because of the
strong wave. But the whole thing was the same though, Asa found
Rin, and sticked her breast on Rin to evade embarassment, though
the scene later with Sia got so jealous that they follow Rin and
Asa to the changing room doesn't happend in the game, of course,
the whole Asa felt strange also didn't happen.
- Ep.8 where Asa found Rin and Sia dating when she was on the
train ride did not happen in the game.
- Ep.11 Where Asa had a conversation with Benibara did not
happend in the game.
- Ep.13 where Asa comforted Rin in the anime did not happend in
the game. Though I prefer this scene to be included in Primula's
path of the game. Of course, Rin and Asa talking about going to
Makai and get Primula back home scene in the anime doesn't
happend in the game, as well.
- Ep.14, we learned a little about Asa's younghood. Sure both
versions do have this happend (It's one of Asa's main storyline
anyhow), but in the anime it was explained in a flashback format,
but in the game, it was explained in words. In the end, Asa
detached her headband and put it onto Rin's wrist, as a sign of
giving him courage, that didn't happend in the game. As most of
Ep 12, 13, 14, and 15 doesn't exist in the game itself.

TO BE CONTINUED
---------------
I'll not include the rest of the difference until the next update.
The reason behind it is because currently Shuffle! is only at Ep.21.
I'll update the list from time to time. Since the anime went into
Asa's path. I assumed that Asa being half demon and Ama being the
first test type artificial lifeform will be included in the anime.
I need to see the difference though.

VI. FAQ
~ Questions and Answers ~
Temporally this section is supposed to blank since I'll be waiting for
questions to come, but let's make it some of the questions answered
before the same questions will be asked again.
----------
I.
Q. What is this FAQ for?
A. This walkthrough is made for Shuffle! only. Not Soul Link, not Tick!
Tack! and of course, being in the same title, this walkthrough does not
include Shuffle! On the Stage walkthrough as well. So don't ask me how
to score Kareha and Mayumi.
II.
Q. How can I contact you?
A. Make an account in the GameFAQs message board, read the rules before
posting though (The TOS), and then go to this board.
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=918046
It's my board (not really), but I'll open for people who have questions
and doubts about my FAQ and would like to address it to me. Beware, the
message board have rules, if you don't know what the rules are, here
is the link for you
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/tos.php
Be sure to read through it before posting.
III.
Q. Why not e-mails? Why not IMs?
A. The reason why no e-mails and IMs are posted in public is because,
firstly I don't actively check e-mails, it's hard to reach me because I
don't usually go to my mailbox and check mails. Second, thanks to my
status as a moderator for GameFAQs, I bet those people who hate me will
surely find a way to harass me, or want me dead (some people are just
that free). That's why I delinked every single of my contact info, and
besides, I'll be changing my AIM account soon, might be using a new e-mail
and of course everything will go private, the only way you can reach me
now would be posting a topic at that board, since I check there quite
often, you can easily reach me there. Since there are rules, I don't need
to be fear of harassments since I can just take action on that anyway.
What I'm asking of you is, though you don't like my FAQ and feel like
voicing it out, be civil, be polite. Address it nicely and I might change
it, for all for you.
IV.
Q. Why do you write this walkthrough?
A. I always write walkthrough for the games that I liked. I liked Shuffle!
Though it can't be my favourite, but some of the plot twist caught me off
guard, and I admit, I liked it.
V.
Q. KKK? SSS? RRR?
A. NEITHER! THEY CAN DIE FOR ALL I CARE.
VI.
Q. Who is your favourite character in Shuffle! ?
A. Nerine.
- First She is stacked, She has great body.
- Second she is extremely lovely to me.
- Third, her whole personality was enough to turn me on. And Tick! Tack! makes
her even lovely.
- Fourth, I always like girls like Nerine. Though in general her personality
isn't attractive enough for most of people I know who watched Shuffle! She gets
the least attention in Shuffle! anime version, which I felt sorry for her. In
the game version I wouldn't say that her story was interesting enough either,
but Tick! Tack! makes up for it. Even so, it's not enough.
- Fifth, I just love the character designation.
- Sixth, Nerine and Lycoris is a nice name.
- Seventh, Her family members are interesting. Good lord I extremely love
the butler in Tick! Tack!. He made me laughed my ass off. Though that sounds
extremely wrong.
- Eighth, Nerine having multiple personalities is a bonus, because 2 in 1 =
win. Wait, Sia and Kikiyou being an exception (The game version of Sia and
Kikiyou is love though.)
- Ninth, her voice is lovely.
- Tenth, She reminds me of Shia from Pita Ten. A demon, but not like a demon
at all. And Shia is my most favourite female character of all time.
10 reasons, take that.
VII.
Q. How did you manage to get this game? Are you Japanese?
A. No. Don't ask either.
VIII.
Q. Help! I can't get the game to start!
A. This game requires the minimum specs that I've stated in the "Information
about the game section". If your comp specs are below that level, the only way
to get it work is to upgrade your comp.
IX.
Q. Help! I can't read the installation manual properly!
A. Probably it's because your computer does not support Japanese encoding. Or
you never set it properly. Go Control Panel ---> Regional and Language options
---> At languages tab, make sure the Install files for East languages are
installed, if not, install it using your Windows 2000 / XP CD. Follow the
instructions when it prompts you to. ---> After this go to "Advanced" tab,
make sure you set the non Unicode programs into Japanese in default. After
that, restart the comp and install the game again, it should turn into
Japanese words. Note, this applies only to XP OR 2000. beyond that it should
be the same settings, but I cannot guarantee that it works for ME or 98...
X.
Q. Help! I can't read Japanese properly!
A. That I can't help you. You probably need a sufficient enough of Japanese
language knowledge to play this game.
XI.
Q. Wall of text @.@
A. Don't read it then. Besides, if you hate spoilers, you shouldn't read
them.
XII.
Q. Why do you like to make your FAQ incomplete?
A. Because I don't want it to end, I want to enjoy the update moments.
But then, it will be completed anyway.
XIII.
Q. In your opinion, 10 out of 10, how do you rate Shuffle! in terms of
anime and the game? two different scores?
A. The anime = currently 7/10, the game = 8/10. 8 doesn't mean high, 8
for me is equivilent of getting 75/100. I like to rate things differently.
XIV.
Q. How much do you know about Shuffle! Game version?
A. Almost everything about the game.
XV.
Q. Where can I find the anime...
A. I'm not telling, that's if you're asking for a download. but if it's for
DVD purchasing, I'm not sure where to buy it. But how did I get the game?
It remains a mystery.
XVI.
Q. Where can I find the game...
A. I won't tell you where to download it, but if you're asking where to buy
the game. Navel website would be the place. You can get it from Yesasia as
well. Assuming if you know how to read Japanese...but that's for the PS2
version.Last but not least, If you're not 18, wait until you are, that is
if you're buying the PC version.
XVII.
Q. What's the difference between Shuffle! and Shuffle! On the Stage
A. You can score Kareha, and Mayumi. Which you can't do that in the PC
version. The hentai elements are of course, removed. Since it became All Age
Version. Other than that, I think that's it.
XVIII.
Q. How do I beat...
A. You don't beat girls in this game, I'll sue you for being sick! Okay,
in all seriousness, read the walkthrough, it explains everything about
how to score that particular girl.
Ok, that's all for now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
