Hakuoki SSL ~Sweet School Life~ – Kaoru Nagumo Walkthrough

NOTES:

Kaoru’s route can be played from the start.
This route unfortunately has only a few CGs.
If this is your first playthrough, you cannot skip the MINI GAMES.
How to SKIP the MINI GAMES: You must purchase the “Minigame Skip Ticket” from Ryunosuke’s Shop. This item will only be available after clearing one route.
Some of the daily “mails” you receive are random. To earn points in your replies, be sure to choose the options that favor the LIs.
The mini-game difficulty level is set to NORMAL by default. You can adjust the difficulty by going to Title Menu → “Treasure Chest” → MINI GAME.
For Story 05’s mini-game, you must clear 5/5 mini games to progress the route. Failing to clear all mini-games here will lead you to a BAD END.
Detailed guides for the mini-games can be found here.

You can unlock Ibuki, Sen + Kosuzu, and the Common Route endings here using this guide.
