''Asagao Academy: Normal Boots Club'' is a UsefulNotes/RenPy-based visual novel successfully funded on Kickstarter. The game features characters based on the Website/{{YouTube}}rs who are part of [[http://www.normalboots.com Normal Boots,]] hence the name ''Asagao Academy: Normal Boots Club''. Almost all the members of Normal Boots are romanceable, with a few exceptions. There are also cameos by the members of fellow [=YouTube=] group [[http://www.hiddenblock.com Hidden Block,]] but they aren't romanceable.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair:]] Hana, as seen in the picture.
** Becomes a plot point - Hana's pink hair so obviously marks her out as protagonist that strange things are just expected to happen around her and she's somewhat ostracized and bullied as a result.

renamed Diegetic Soundtrack Usage. Confused by this writeup — is it only through Word Of Saint Paul? Are these played in universe? Are these soundtracks composed for the game or repurposed previously made music?


* ThemeTuneCameo: According to WebVideo/ProJared [[WordOfSaintPaul in his own playthrough of the game,]] one of the music tracks uses bits from his and WebVideo/JonTron's video intro themes.
** Also, a later part of the ending credits theme incorporates allusions to all of the Normal Boots crew's theme songs, save for Shane's, as Did You Know Gaming has no theme song.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: There's at least three:
** [[spoiler:After bashing and manipulating both him and Hana for a good portion of the last chapter,]] Jared gives [[spoiler:his mother]] an ''extremely'' satisfying one of these.
--> Jared: "''I. Am. '''Sick'''. Of. This. [[spoiler:I have put up with you for seventeen straight horribly awful, painful, joyless years of my life. I begged and begged for you to grant me an ounce of happiness or sunshine every day, and you rejected me in favor of your own selfish greed and pointless ambition, all intended to hide your pathetic sense of loneliness and abandonment. I have finally, '''finally''' found something-- some'''one'''-- who makes me happy, someone who showed me that I was still worth a damn even if I wasn't perfect, someone who showed me that everything you taught me throughout my life was wrong. And I will be '''damned straight to hell''' if you think I am going to let you take her away from me.'']]"
** Ian delivers one to [[spoiler:Mimi in Jirard's route, calling her out on trying to use Hana's sprained ankle to draw attention to herself]].
** Jacques delivers a nasty (and justified) one to Hana [[spoiler:in his route when he gets his free will back]].

* EarnYourHappyEnding: All Normal Boots routes have several different endings, depending on whether Hana was able to practice enough for the tournament and whether she is close enough to the one she's pursuing. Some routes are fairly straightforward, such as [[PeanutButterGamer PBG's]] or [[WebVideo/TheCompletionist Jirard's]] route, and some can be [[ThatOneLevel nightmarish and easy to screw up]] like Shane's or [[WebVideo/JonTron Jon's]] route. However, any route will make you ponder on decisions that are hard to make and lack a definitively correct answer.

Added DiffLines:

* SchoolOfNoStudying: The titular academy definitely hands out schoolwork, but it never comes up besides a brief mention when a scene starts with Hana leaving class or in her dorm, usually as a segue. Pretty much its only plot relevance is serving as the reason for Hana and PBG to meet (being paired up for a school project), but even that [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse gets dropped and never brought up again after the scene ends,]] even on PBG's own route.
** Subverted on certain routes. The cause of some characters' stress, such as Jon and PBG, involves trying to keep up with their schoolwork while also practicing for the upcoming tournament, usually alongside a problem unique to them. We never see the actual schoolwork, [[LawOfConservationOfDetail but that's justified,]] and it still has an impact.

* TakeAThirdOption: In Chapter 1, Paul and Jared get into an argument and ask for Hana's opinion. This is one of the few choices in the game where there are three choices instead of two, with the third choice being to take neither side. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, doing this locks out both of their routes for that playthrough.]]

* PrematurelyBald: Josh, considering the fact that the characters based on Youtubers are turned into teenagers this makes and doesn't make sense. One the other hand this shouldn't be taken seriously because it's an AffectionateParody of Japanese dating sims and on the other hand they could've given him hair because he's supposed to be a teenager.

* ArtisticLicenseUniversityAdmissions: Granted, it's a high school (albeit a very university-esque one), but according to a flashback, Hana got a scholarship despite not being rich or particularly talented, and she believes the school just wanted good PR by housing a poverty-stricken student. Granted, this could be her SelfDeprecation at work. [[spoiler:But considering the school seems to prioritize their public image, seeing as they've ignored stalker reports in the past because they don't want the school to seem dangerous, it's possible they'd do this too.]]
