Of all the girls that are in Koikari, I think my personal favorite is Tsubaki's. Now that isn't to say that I don't enjoy the others in fact there is one that I would say is close to Tsubaki's however it is a secret ending so I won't be discussing it in this post. While I do find the others to be pretty good as well I personally feel that Tsubaki's arch is one of the better written one's and ends in a pretty good way that makes you feel like the story is truly complete.
Of course saying that Tsubaki is a girl isn't correct, of the other romantic interests of this Visual Novel she is the oldest of them and in fact she is a teacher that instructs at a prep school, the same school that the protag Yuki attends.
Tsubaki becomes one of Yuki's clients and pays him to act as her paramour in an attempt to get her cousin and mother off her back about settling down. To keep this story going Yuki will spend time at Tsubaki's house when she knows her cousin will be around and later they go shopping to get some things that will make it appear that Yuki actually stays there at her place to throw her cousin off.
It is during their time together that Tsubaki soon becomes aware of Yuki's other clients including the Izumi sisters, Emi, and Hasumi. While she understands that Yuki is simply doing a job there are instances where she does seem almost upset at the fact that he's with other girls his own age while being her paramour.
As time passes and they spend more time together Yuki ends up taking her back to his house which is only a building jump away to spend time with his little sister who isn't aware of his second job, and even if she was aware of it she probably wouldn't approve of it. So in his sisters mind he's two timing Emi and Hasumi as she believes Yuki to be dating Emi and keeping Hasumi on the side as well. Of course she then meets Tsubaki and things get even more complicated and more hilarious as his sister complex put to the test after she thinks poorly of his life choices.
Tsubaki's romantic route is one of the first ones that become available. During a festival Tsubaki has helped you out by spending time with you and your sister. When you get the festival grounds you meet up with the Izumi twins and spend time together as a group. Eventually however, Tsubaki walks a way in a little bit of a huff after feeling like she was getting the short end of the stick so to speak. Though it wasn't Yuki's intentions to make her feel that way it did happen and Yuki realizes his feelings for Tsubaki and follows after her.
It is at the fireworks festival that they share their first kiss and the discussion of being more than just paramour begins though they still are not ready for that kind of relationship. It will take time and several other incidents before they came come to terms with the feelings they have for one another.
It is shortly after that Tsubaki comes to the conclusion that she doesn't want Yuki to continue his work through the App that linked him to the other girls. And he the through the course of a period of time breaks off his arrangements with each of the girls while maintaining a friendship with them.
Tsubaki's route ends with Yuki eventually graduating and starting university. Soon after he and Tsubaki are married and they talk about how they have a child on the way. The ending is short and sweet and wraps this route up nicely.
Unlike some endings I feel this one does a good job of ending it on a high note and one that leaves the player fulfilled. So if older women are your thing then Tsubaki's route is the one you'll want to go down first. Honestly, I have a type like everyone does but I found Tsubaki's interests, attitude, and overall character development to be will done and one that I could see myself with so I related to her more so than the others.
