Harutoki 5: Komatsu's Route

Okay,  I love this character.  He's so intimidating and manipulative it's fantastic!  What a spoiled brat.  I know I've complained about his voice but there are points where it really is menacing and great.  He's got Yuki so wound around his finger, he gets her to drop ideas and just say "I understand."  What commanding power.  It's exhilarating, especially from some wimpy looking guy with sort of a girly voice.  The whole story line feels like a power struggle between you and him and every time he blushes it feels like you won that round.  Other times it's just fun to let him have his way because he gives you this look.  It just screams "that's right, know your place woman."
He's pretty rude actually and he gets upset when you do things of your own will. So controlling but in a weird fun way?  I don't know.  It's fun to mess with him that's for sure because of how bent out of shape he gets about things.
All his pictures are really saucy but all just the two of you in the same position.  He's right up in your face, holding her by the arms, looking her strait in the eyes.  The best one is where he takes off his glasses and gets really close to Yuki to "get a better look at her"
Best thing though is when you confront Amami and he calls you 愛しい子 or Lovely/Dear Child and Komatsu is all like "Lovely child!? She's not your plaything Amami"


"SHE'S MY PLAYTHING!"

So, now that I know that this game's theme is about overcoming death, Komatsu seems to embody accepting death since when he read that he would die in five years in a book in your world he was actually really calm about it.  I was not expecting this from him.  Very interesting.
So when should you play this route?  It's on the medium difficulty but you can start right at chapter 8 and not have to go though chapter 7 for the millionth time.  He's awfully romantic so you could do his route as one of the first ones.  It's a simple route, no extream story elements or whatnot.  Just a lot of shippy.
