History VisualNovel / WhiteAlbum2

* To a lesser extent, this applies to Kazusa's Normal End as well. Though all the other endings get some kind of follow-up, especially the aforementioned True Ends, the "My Sworn Enemy" scenario, which follows Kazusa's Normal End instead, is the longest by far and, unlike the others, is filled with drama and character development for the three leads.

%%* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Kazusa

* BrokenBird: Kazusa. Her issues with her mother as well as her inability to make friends or attachments of her own no matter what turned her into a completely bitter and angry young woman who relies solely on her piano skills as she believes that it's the only thing she's good at and the one thing she'll always be attached to.

* StoryBranchFavoritism: Ironically, {{Word of God}} stated that the idea of the game is to let the final choice to the player, yet you can see favoritism towards Kazusa and Setsuna's True endings because these are the only ones that continue into the Coda chapter, whereas the others end along with the Closing Chapter.
** Some people seem to favor Kazusa's True End not only because it's longest and most developed but because of it's incredibly cathartic and dramatic nature, what makes Kazusa's scenario more fitting to the rest of the story according to some players, also together with being the longest she was the only heroine to get a new year Drama cd in 2016 (it continues her story after the after story mini fandisc that was released in 2014).
** Some players prefer Setsuna's True End because it's more happy,conclusive and rewarding than the other two, with some people even refering to it as the ''大団円'' (Finale). She is also one of the two only heroines that get the after story mini fandisc that continues her true ending.

* DrivenByALoveInterest: Kazusa is a very sheltered person, who only knows how to play a piano. For everything else, Haruki has to help her. At the end of Introductory Chapter, she [[spoiler:flew from Japan out of despair of not getting a desired love from Haruki, who was already dating Setsuna]]. But in CODA, we learn that [[spoiler:she didn't acclimatize to a life without Haruki and came back to Japan to steal him from Setsuna]].

* StoryBranchFavoritism: Ironically, {{Word of God}} stated that the idea of the game is to let the final choice to the player, yet you can see favoritism towards Kazusa and Setsuna's True endings because these are the only ones that continue into the Coda chapter, where as the others end along with the Closing Chapter.

* OnceMoreWithClarity: Certain scenes are first unlocked by completing the game on certain routes and then replaying the story. These scenes tends to jump outside of Haruki's POV, and adds quite a bit more context to why certain characters were behaving the way they did in some scenes. One of the more crucial ones is perhaps [[spoiler:the scene where Setsuna made her LoveConfession to Haruki, making it clear that that Setsuna's original motivation for confessing was out of a combination of jealousy and desperation]].

* BittersweetEnding: Let it be clear that '''none''' of the endings provided by the story can be considered completely happy; someone will always be shortchanged in the end. Indeed, for the three sub-heroine ends for ''Concluding Chapter'', that someone will ''always'' be Setsuna. [[spoiler:The only way she has to achieve a truly happy ending is to get Haruki. While Setsuna decides to study economics just to stay with him, he later changes departments to keep his distance from her. She tries very hard to romance him for 3 years, which leads to many dramatic moments like when it is revealed it takes her a whole day to call him and she ends up in tears because he ignores the calls each time. She uses everything in her power to get him. A good example would be when she discovers Kazusa placed second in a competition and forces Haruki to talk with her to celebrate her success only to end up monologuing at the end she's sorry she used Kazusa yet again. If Haruki chooses Setsuna an ending appears where they live happily as a couple. She starts singing all the time (even when they kiss) and says she's never been happier in her entire life. If not she gets into a deep depression.]] The two "True Ends" in ''Coda'' are also pretty much this as well. To whit:

* StoryBranchFavoritism: Ironically, {{Word of God}} stated that the idea of the game is to let the final choice to the player, yet you can see favoritism towards Kazusa and Setsuna's True endings because only those got the after story in 2014 (with Kazusa getting a extra one in 2016) and even Kazusa cheating (because of the extra episode of 2013).

* TimeSkip: Done twice. ''Concluding Chapter'' starts about three years after ''Introductory Chapter'', with Haruki and Setsuna in college. ''Coda'' starts around two years after ''Concluding Chapter''.

''White Album 2'' (ホワイトアルバム2) is a Japanese VisualNovel produced by [[Creator/{{Aquaplus}} Leaf]]. Although it shares the same name as ''VisualNovel/WhiteAlbum'' as well being set in the same world, albeit almost two decades later, it bears little connection to the first game[=/=]anime aside from the songs that it reuses from the former: the titular ''White Album'', sung by Yuki Morikawa, and ''Sound of Destiny'' sung by Rina Ogata. In effect, it is better described as a "{{Thematic|Series}} Sequel" of sorts, as the main writer, Fumiaki Maruto, wanted to use the story explore the themes of the first game in more depth and detail.
