'''Wonderful Everyday''', known in Japan as '''Subarashiki Hibi: Furenzoku Sonzai''' (Japanese: 素晴らしき日々 ～不連続存在～, "Wonderful Everyday: Discontinuous Existence") and sometimes abbreviated on the internet as [="SubaHibi"=], is a Japanese adult visual novel developed and published by KeroQ. It's a remake of ''VisualNovel/TsuiNoSora'', a visual novel released on 1997. It was released on March 26, 2010 for Microsoft Windows. It was released in English in August of 2017. It is widely regarded to be a great, if strange, Visual Novel.

Subarashiki Hibi contains six stories, the titles of which are taken from chapters in [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]] and Through the Looking Glass. Most of the stories take place in the fictional Suginomiya neighborhood of Tokyo and recount the month of July 2012 from different perspectives.

* AliceAllusion: An Indirect version. All the chapter names come from {{Creator/Lewis Carroll}}'s works. Several passages and poems are also quoted word-for-word in the openings of some of the chapters.

* ApocalypseCult: Takuji's followers are willing to do ''whatever he says'' to be "saved" before the appearance of the 'End Sky'.

* BlackSpeech: In ''It's My Own Invention'' Takuji and [[spoiler: The magical girl Riruru have a... conversation(?) that gets more deranged as it progresses.]] Eventually instead of voiced lines the player just hears assorted noises and static sounds represented by symbols, giving this sort of impression.
* BrotherSisterIncest: In ''Jabberwocky I'' [[spoiler: depending on a choice made earlier in the chapter, Tomosane and Hasaki can have sex on the bar's rooftop before he confronts Takuji.]]

* CannotTellFictionFromReality: Early on in ''It's My Own Invention'', rejecting or accepting Takuji's erotic delusions determines which path you're put on for the chapter.
** For added emphasis you're ''repeatedly'' given the choice to accept or reject the delusions during the scene in question and continuing to accept it leads you onto the main path for the chapter.
---> '''Takuji'''': There's no way that was a delusion! If I had such a realistic delusion like that, I wouldn't... I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between reality and my delusions!

* DefiledForever: Takuji tells Zakuro he's burning a manga because the heroine isn't a virgin, invoking this trope. Later, [[spoiler: Zakuro herself gets extremely anxious over this while being raped, worrying that Takuji won't love her if she's been defiled by other men.]]
** The idea that [[spoiler: she could get a 'new' body if reborn as an angel plays a big part in her agreeing to do the Spiral Matai.]]

** Despite being supposedly a notorious delinquent, Tomosane Yuuki is never mentioned over the course of ''Down the Rabbit Hole''. [[spoiler: Because, from the perspective of everyone aside from Takuji, ''he's'' the notorious delinquent.]] Same goes for the suspicious absence of Hasaki in ''It's My Own Invention'', as well as [[spoiler: the lack of references to the twins from other characters aside from Yuki and Takuji]].

** A pair of purple-haired twins named Kagami and Tsukasa, wonder why that sounds [[Anime/LuckyStar familiar...]] [[spoiler: This actually plot-relevant.]]

** At one point Takuji burns a manga and claims it was because the heroine wasn't a virgin, calling to mind the outrage around Manga/KannagiCrazyShrineMaidens.

** The worst part is [[spoiler: Takuji doesn't care about the mental and emotional trauma this caused, and tells the students to use her as a [[NauseaFuel ''toilet'']] after her ordeal.]]

* ShoutOut: All over the place throughout the visual novel, many of them count as GeniusBonus.

---> [[spoiler: '''Takuji'''']]: There's no way that was a delusion! If I had such a realistic delusion like that, I wouldn't... I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between reality and my delusions!

* [[spoiler: MultiGenderedSplitPersonalities]]: In ''Jabberwocky'' it is revealed that [[spoiler: Yuki Minakami is one of Tomosane Mamiya's personalities and is supposedly the sort of person he always wanted to become.]]

* [[spoiler: SplitPersonalityTeam:]] In ''Jabberwocky'' the scenes with [[spoiler: Tomosane and Yuki have shades of this as one takes over when the other has more relevant skills.]]

* GainaxEnding: In the ''End Sky II'' ending, [[spoiler: Yuki and Ayana have a fourth-wall breaking dialogue about the events of the visual novel. Notably, Ayana gives a number of conjectures but refuses to give a single answer about what really happened. Then, Yuki walks through a door similar to the events in the first chapter.]] This causes a lot of confusion, but some people say that was encouraged by SCA-ji during this scene.

** Yuki's sudden, abrupt FreakOut when investigating the fingerprints in her house, which is strangely never referenced in subsequent scenes. [[spoiler: ''Jabberwocky'' reveals that Yuki and Takuji's minds have built themselves to reject anything that would controdict their mental perception of the world, meaning the bizzare blackouts were just their minds going into shutdown.]]

* GratuitousRape: Some of the [[spoiler: 'Delusion' scenes]] in ''It's My Own Invention'' can be this for viewers, especially since [[spoiler: they don't do much aside from highlight how Takuji has lost touch with reality, and/or titillate the player. TheReveal that a good many of the H-scenes didn't happen takes aways some of the punch.]]

** Arguably the entire game. Everytime Yuki, Takuji or Tomosane Yuuki appeared, [[spoiler: everyone else just saw Tomosane Mamiya acting out of character.]]

** The idea that [[spoiler: she could get a 'new' body if reborn as an angel plays a big part in her agreeing to do the Spiral Matai]]

* TheBully: Several of the minor characters, notably Shiroyama, Megu, and Satako.

* AmbiguousSituation: What is really going on at the school? Who is Takuji? Will the world really end on the 20th? Made more confusing by showing conflicting events through the eyes of a series of {{UnreliableNarrator}}s.

--> [[spoiler: '''Takuji'''']]:"There's no way that was a delusion! If I had such a realistic delusion like that, I wouldn't... I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between reality and my delusions!"

** By the end of ''Down the Rabbit Hole II'' Kagami [[spoiler:literally becomes a rabbit doll, and the neighbors in the house that was supposed to be Wakatsuki household turn out to be a completely different family, so by the time of the rape scene you can kinda guess what really happens.]]

* MindScrew: Bizarre symbolism, obscure literary references, {{UnreliableNarrator}}s, graphic erotica, nonsensical conversations, and philosophical musings all come together to create this trope quite nicely.

* NonIndicativeFirstEpisode: "Down The Rabbit Hole I" is VERY different from the rest of the game. Afterwards things get progressively DarkerAndEdgier.

* RapeByProxy: Takuji tells the teacher, Asumi Kiyokawa, in order to become one of his followers she must [[spoiler: Have sex with her own [[ParentalIncest Father]]. In a game full of disturbing sex scenes it manages to stand out.]]

** In ''Jabberwocky I'', [[spoiler: Tomosane Yuuki/Takuji has a peaceful look on his face as he takes a knife to the chest.]]

** Aguably the entire game. Everytime Yuki, Takuji or Tomosane Yuuki appeared, [[spoiler: everyone else just saw Tomosane Mamiya acting out of character.]]

* UnreliableNarrator: Takes this trope to new levels by having this with ''multiple narrators'' during the story.

* AnyoneCanDie: Yes it does. By the end of the game, [[spoiler:the only main character that are still alive are Tomosane and Hasaki.]]

** In the ''Wonderful Everyday'' ending [[spoiler: Kimura even teases Tomosane about his relationship with his sister, implying it continued after the events of the game.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Loads towards the two biggest twists in the game, that [[spoiler: Yuki, Takuji and Tomosane are three personalities inhabiting the same body]] and that [[spoiler: Kagami and Tsukasa are actually just a projection on Hasaki and her stuffed rabbit]]:
** Despite being supposedly a notorious delinquent, Tomosane is never mentioned over the course of ''Down the Rabbit Hole''.

* RayOfHopeEnding: The [[spoiler: "Wonderful Everyday" and "Hill of Sunflowers" endings]] are surprisingly hopeful despite all that happened. [[spoiler: Tomosane and Hasaki get to live out mostly normal lives in both of these endings, and "Hill of Sunflowers" even brings back Yuki, in some sense.]]

* WhamEpisode: ''Looking-Glass Insects'' changes virtually the entire direction of the story. [[spoiler:Particualy crucial is the reveal that Yuki, Kagami, Tsukasa and Tomosane don't actually exist, with the twins just being a mental projection on Hasaki, and Yuki, Takuji and Tomosane Yuuki being of Takuji, whose real name is Tomosane Mamiya]].

* AGodAmI: Mamiya Takuji proclaims himself to be a 'Savior' and starts a cult in the school to prepare for the 'End Sky'.

''Jabberwocky'' reveals that [[spoiler: the trauma from this experience is what lead him to create [[SplitPersonality Tomosane]] ''The Destroyer''.]]

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: In ''It's My Own Invention'' [[spoiler: the player will see ''many'' of Mamiya Takuji's delusions]].

* WhamEpisode: ''Looking-Glass Insects'' changes virtually the entire direction of the story.
