Lilly Satou: Blind but is very kind, especially to Hanako.Įmi Ibarazaki: Has prosthetic legs which she uses to run on the track team. Rin Tezuka: Lost her arms at birth but that doesn’t stop her from painting. Hanako Ikezawa: Burned in an accident while young and extremely reclusive. Shizune Hakamichi: Deaf and mute but very proactive and a born leader. If you’ve never heard of it before, here are the five main love interests in the concept art drawn by famous doujin/eroge artist RAITA: The game has been enormously popular, with over 65,000 videos on YouTube related to it. Everyone involved was a volunteer, and it was released as a free download, which is still available to anyone who wants to play it. The group that created the game is Four Leaf Studios, named after 4chan’s four-leaf clover logo. It’s only now, three years later, that Katawa Shoujo (“Disabled Girls”) has finally been released in the language many people thought it was originally created in: Japanese. However, despite being a game in a distinctly Japanese genre and taking place in a Japanese high school with Japanese characters, the game was originally written and released in English. But to the shock of the internet, the game received widespread acclaim for its impressive visuals, story, and music, not to mention its sympathetic treatment of its characters. Back in 2012 when a bunch of 4chan members released a visual novel game based around romantically pursuing disabled high school girls, expectations were low to say the least.
