YMMV / Shira Oka: Second Chances

• Annoying Video Game Helper: Very frequently, your friends will cost you an entire day's worth of study (and numerical score increases) in order to tell you how they liked your literature score or how your fashion skill needs work; ignoring the fact that you have the scores on the screen at all times. Still worse is when they interrupt you to scold you for a low stat when you are in the middle of raising that very stat, wasting a day on completely useless dialogue.
  • Averted with Satsuko, as her advice is rather useful.
• Difficulty Spike: Doing multiple timed events at the same time (such as trying to finish Kazuki's go-kart and buy a good White Day present, or trying to do Aya's manga, Kiku's dance practice, and the Culture Festival all at the same time) results in required grades at the end each term going up each time.
• Fridge Horror: Yui is the only character to not be in any of the epilogues. The point of her path was to help her die happily, but it's inferred that if you don't take her path, she just dies alone from the demon's possession.
  • In one of the talks with Kasumi she'll mention that she hates getting into cold water.
• Ho Yay: The Hiroshi and Kazuki endings.
• The Woobie: A lot of players see Yui as this.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Kasumi, depending on how you view her character
