History VisualNovel / WhiteAlbum2

* MultipleEndings: Par for course, due to the visual novel format. There are three endings for the sub-heroines in ''Concluding Chapter'', as well as a good and "true" end for Setsuna. [[spoiler:Finishing the latter opens the way to Coda, which adds at least five more: Setsuna True, Kazusa Good aka the Cheating Chapter, and Kazusa True]]. However, due to the nature of the story and the ''characters'', '''none''' of these ends can be truly considered a "happy" end. See the BittersweetEnding entry for specifics.

** And let's not even get into the [[spoiler:Kazusa Good, aka the Cheating Chapter]] here, where ''everyone'' gets shortchanged by Haruki's indecisiveness. [[spoiler:Haruki bounces between Setsuna, and sleeping with Kazusa behind her back. This culminates in Haruki and Kazusa going on a private trip to the inn the three of them visited way back in ''Introductory Chapter'', where the two of them spend a night of passion. Despite this, she declares that it's over between the two of them; only for the winter, as she promised. After her final concert Kazusa leaves without a word, but despite everything Setsuna still forgives Haruki, and lets him back into her life.]]

See the BittersweetEnding entry for specifics.

* SexForSolace: Happens more than you'd think, particularly in ''Concluding Chapter''. Let's just say that Haruki has a whole lot of issues that he's struggling to deal with, and physical intimacy is one of his outlets for his anger and frustation.

* OldFlame: [[spoiler:Kazusa, when she returns in ''Coda'']]. Her return causes a LOT of drama, for sure.

** In Kazusa's True End, [[spoiler:despite going steady with Setsuna for more than two years already, when Kazusa returns into his life, Haruki decides that it's about time to stop lying to himself. He breaks up with Setsuna, and runs off to be together with Kazusa, despite the both of them coming to realize that they're terrible people for what they'r doing. The two of them alienate ''everyone'' in the process, but it is almost outright stated that it is only when Haruki and Kazusa are finally together that they can reach their full potential -- as a performer for Kazusa, while as a person for Haruki.]]

* 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 ''Closing Chapter'', that someone will ''always'' be Setsuna. The two "True Ends" in ''Coda'' are also pretty much this as well. To whit:

* LoveRedeems: Haruki becomes less indecisive and tries to repair his relationship [[spoiler:with Setsuna, eventually winning her back in the Setsuna end of Closing Chapter.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: Haruki, for most of ''Closing Chapter'' and, depending on the player's choices, in ''Coda'' as well. Has to be read to be believed.

* TwelveEpisodeAnime: Supposed to be twelve episodes with episode 13 supposed to be an unaired special, which is why it surprised many when it aired on TV anyway. The final episode adds context to some scenes in the previous episode, like the aftermath of the confession, which led to [[spoiler:Haruki and Kazusa spending the whole night before her flight making love]], and makes a clearer bridge bridge to the next part of the story, ''Closing Chapter'', if and when it gets adapted.
