Kotonoha Katsura is one of the main protagonists of School Days. She begins as Makoto Itou's girlfriend after he introduces Sekai Saionji to her. She also appears in Summer Days and Cross Days as a secondary but important character.
Appearance[]
Kotonoha is a beautiful girl with white skin, chestnut irises, and smooth, straight black hair that flows down to her waist. Her body is slender and mature for her age, and throughout her series we see her breasts second only to her mother's.
Her attire varies depending on the media. In School Days and Cross Days, Kotonoha primarily wears a school uniform. In Summer/Shiny Days, she mostly wears red summer dresses and high heels. She also wears a light blue bikini with white stripes and a very low-cut white dress in School Days and Summer Days, respectively.
Because of her gorgeous body, almost all the girls think negatively about her because of her jealousy, and because she is having orgies and getting money from Makoto to go on dates. Even Nanami, who is very quiet, thinks negatively about her and treats her badly.
Personality[]
In general, Kotoha is an intelligent, kind, polite, well-educated young woman with a modest personality. She is very reserved, in fact there is no mention of her not having any friends before she met Sekai and Makoto. Having little social life, she becomes incredibly dependent and devoted to Makoto. However, this kind of her resolute attitude can have a dramatic effect on her. If she feels that Makoto has left her and she can't get him back, that tremendous sadness and despair will drive her to become violent or "yandere", leading her to commit suicide, or to push Makoto away from her. They will kill people they believe are stealing from them. Her obsession with Makoto is so great that she refuses to accept that he will break up with her. Perhaps related to her potentially murderous side, when Makoto invites her to see a horror movie, she admits to being a fan of horror and splatter movies, but she usually doesn't talk about it.
Although the reason is not specified, since Kotoha is very girly and classy, she is afraid of being near men, and especially afraid of touching the opposite sex, so at the beginning of their relationship there is a certain number of relationships between her and Makoto. An awkward moment occurred. Makoto always demands excessive physical contact, and when she is refused, the situation becomes even worse. Finally, Kotoha admits that satisfying her Makoto's sexual desires is essential to making their relationship closer. Kotoha overcomes her heart's block, locks Makoto's heart into herself, and offers her body to drive away her rival. After this, as seen in the ending of Bavarois and the Last, whenever she tries to get Makoto back from Sekai, she suddenly gains her ability to manipulate situations much better than Sekai.
How Kotonoha's character develops is determined almost entirely by how comfortable she is with her sexuality. At first, she is very shy and quiet in front of Makoto and the others. However, depending on her route, she can go from being shy but a little more comfortable to becoming a kind of sex maniac who isn't even afraid to use her body to win back her Makoto. If things go well, Kotoha will also be able to develop bisexual feelings for Sekai, which will allow a three-way relationship to develop between them.
However, when Kotoha receives a big wound to her heart, she goes into yandere mode. This usually occurs when she is abandoned after sleeping with Makoto, but also happens very late in the game when she discovers that Makoto has been cheating on her. Like most yanderes, Kotonoha can be cruel due to his ability to manipulate Makoto, causing him and other girls to trip out with guilt if Makoto chooses to be with someone else. Unlike Sekai, she is willing to sleep with other girls and have more girlfriends as long as Makoto is with her. She also likes to use sex as a weapon if Makoto tries to end things. In the anime, she along with Makoto encourages Sekai to have an abortion and flirts with him to further hurt Sekai, and in the Cross Days manga, she accuses Yuuki of being "Yuu" and taking Makoto from her when he wanted to. Did. To warn her about her cheating behavior of Makoto. Kotoha is cruel to others, although she forgives Makoto most of the time. Even in the manga, when Makoto and Sekai break up and Makoto begs her for forgiveness, she happily accepts Makoto's apology, but she still tries to kill Sekai right after.
