For People That Still Don’t Like Sayo And/Or Hina

I’m speaking as someone who had Sayo and Hina kind of low on my list when I first started playing JP, please don’t make your decision on them final until after you read the Umbrella for the Autumn Rain event story!

I know, I know, their relationship is strained (and just to be clear, by relationship, I mean sisterly relationship. Not lovers relationship. Incest in not wincest and it’s pretty sad that I have to make it clear when talking about these two together, but continuing), Sayo seems like an ice box, and Hina can be annoying. But this event actually addresses their relationship and it was the first event story that actually made me cry because those two are so precious and it just makes you want to root for them. It actually shot them up from about 11 and 12 on my list to sharing the number one spot (Sorry Yukina).

Now, even though I wrote all this, I just want to be clear that I’m not trying to force people into liking Sayo and Hina. I’m not going to go into a crazed frenzy or what have you if you all read the event story and still don’t like the twins. All I’m asking is that people understand them more because, IMO, they’re the most fascinating sister relationship in the game. Sure you have Ako and Tomoe and Rimi and Yuri, but they just have the simple sisterly relationship. Sayo and Hina started out having a strained relationship and that’s actually pretty real. I mean, I have cousins that, while I do love them, there are times when I can barely like them. I can only imagine how it is for sisters that live together.

Like I said before, I just want people to understand them more. And don’t worry about Sayo/Hina fans who’ll complain if you still have them low on your list. I mean, I understand Aya and Chisato and they’re low on my favorite girl list (I think they’re actually the new 11 and 12 spot) and I understand Arisa but she’s dead last on the sole reason that she’s a tsundere.

I’ve actually gone more in-depth on Sayo and Hina on reddit that I can link to anyone who wants to read it. But do be warned, it’s a huge wall of text of me going into full character analysis mode (I do that sometimes) and even though they are my two favorite girls in the game, there’s no bias in it. At least I hope there isn’t. I’ve also written at like 4:00 in the morning, so there might be grammar and spelling mistakes, haha.

TLDR; don’t sleep on these two just yet. They’re relationship is getting better. Read Umbrella for the Autumn Rain story.
