This is a companion guide to my Kana ~My Little Sister~ FAQ.
It details all of the ending sequences, plus I have added my own
thoughts about each ending. It is not Necessary to read this guide
to play the game, on the contrary I'd prefer if you would not
read it at all until you have gotten a 100% completion rating,
as it ruins the game completely.
IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS GAME YET, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER.
All opinions expressed in the FAQ are the views of myself, and do
not reflect the views of any other entity, including the game
creators. In other words, these are not definitive answers, it's
just me rambling (And in some instances, bitching) about a game
that I really enjoy.

I. Ending #2 - Recollection (Normal Ending) - **/*****
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the regular default ending. It’s not a "bad" ending, per se, but it is
far from the result which we all hoped to achieve when we started playing
the game. Isn't that right? *Shakes a menacing fist*.
Anyway, after the operation, Taka blacks out and has a dream about Kana
enjoying her college life. After he wakes up, we find out that six
months have passed since the operation took place.
Taka climbs a steep mountain every day. His purpose? To visit a grave.
That's right, the operation was a failure. Kana died shortly afterwards,
but not before regaining consciousness. She uses the recorder pendant
that Taka gave to her to record her dying wishes. One of these is her
confession that she loves Taka. This gives Taka the strength to move
on with his life...and with his relationship with Yumi (Bleck).
This is slightly better than most "Normal" endings that you see
in H-Games, but I just feel that it could have been much better.
Why not allow Taka to say goodbye to Kana in person? Why include
Yumi when she has her own ending? More importantly, why tease
us with the prospect of Taka and Kana's flowering relationship
only to say "Fooled you, She died!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Ending #3 - Out of the Maze (Yumi Ending) - */*****
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, fuck this ending is long. This is the ending reserved for everyone's
favorite incest-wrecking floozy, Yumi.
After the operation, Taka blacks out and has a dream about Kana
enjoying her college life. After he wakes up, we find out that four
weeks have passed since the operation took place.
The operation was a success, but Kana hasn't woken up. Worse, she's
not breathing on her own, and is hooked up to a machine. Out of fear
that Kana may become infected by bacteria, her doctor has placed
her in quarantine.
A few more weeks go by, with no change. Taka becomes restless, anxiously
awaiting the phone call that says everything is going to be all right.
The phone call he receives is not what he was expecting.
Taka goes to the hospital only to find a deceased Kana lying in her bed.
The sight of her causes him to disconnect from reality. He becomes
convinced that this is not Kana, and that the real Kana is hiding from
him.
As the weeks go by, Taka's parents become more worried. Taka refuses
to allow anyone to enter Kana's room, and he insists that Kana have
a chair at the dinner table, for when she comes home.
Yumi has been coming by to help out, but nothing she does has any
effect on Taka.
Finally, Taka's parents can take it no longer. They tell Yumi that
they have decided to commit Taka to the "Hospital". Taka overhears
this and decides to escape. He doesn't get very far.
Yumi finds Taka and drags him back home. She then proceeds to
beat the shit out of him. Afterwards, she tells Taka that
she's giving up on him. He tries to snap out of it, even
asking Yumi for help, but she leaves, and Taka is
powerless to stop her.
Fast-forward to March. Taka is alone in the house, when suddenly
he hears a noise from upstairs. He rushes to Kana's room...where
he finds her waiting for him. He begins to confess his love to
her, when he realizes that it isn't Kana...but Yumi, dressed in
Kana's clothes and wearing a wig.
She explains to Taka that, even though she never liked Kana,
she respected her strength. She then makes Taka understand
that Kana died. Taka recovers from his disassociative state
and decides to preserve the memories he has of Kana instead
of regretting not being able to say goodbye.
Yumi makes me sick. I dated a girl like her once, full-on
in your face, didn't give a damn what anyone thought, when
she was determined to have something, not even the forces
of hell would stand in her way. I know I'm being harsh, but
anyone can see how Yumi uses Taka's pain to achieve her
ultimate goal. She even uses Taka's parents to an extent.
Taka deserves better, and after sitting through this 30-minute
ending, so do we. Boo, boo, boo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Ending #1 - The First Farewell (True Ending) - ****/*****
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of two special endings (I'll talk about the other one in a bit).
To get this ending, you first must get the "Normal" and "Yumi" endings.
This ending is a variant on the Yumi ending.
After the operation, Taka blacks out and has a dream about Kana
enjoying her college life. After he wakes up, we find out that one
week has passed since the operation took place.
Kana wakes up to the news that the operation was a success. Taka tells
her about the breathing tube, and the germ-free environment (From the
Yumi ending). Kana can't believe any of it. Taka leaves Kana at the
hospital and goes home.
It's not until he comes home one day and finds Kana's shoes at the
front door that he realizes that she's alive, and she has come home
to him. He rushes upstairs and sweeps an unsuspecting Kana into his
arms, where he proceeds to confess his undying love for her.
Thankfully, Kana returns the favor, telling Taka that she has loved
him as a man and not as a brother, ever since the day he saved her
from being lost in the forest. Then, we FINALLY get to see our
hard work paid off.
Kana kisses Taka, Taka kisses Kana, they hold each other for five
minutes, and then Kana hits Taka up for sex. Taka tries to get
out of it, only because he doesn't wish to rush Kana into this
whole thing too quickly, but Kana isn't about to let him leave.
She wants him NOW, and she means to have him inside her.
After the luscious sex, we are treated to a sampling of what
domestic life is like between Taka and Kana now that she is
home for good. Then Taka's parents return. They want to talk
to Kana about something important.
Taka's dad tells Kana everything, about how they hid the fact
that she was dying, how they opposed the transplant, how they
gave up on Kana without giving her a chance to prove that she
was strong enough and had will enough to survive. They bow
down before Kana and beg for her forgiveness. Kana forgives
them easily, and they are left in total disbelief.
So it seems that this is a true storybook "Happily ever after",
at least until Kana leaves...
A year or so later, Kana decides that it is time to move out.
She finds a job at a small bookstore, and she will begin working
there as soon as she graduates. The owners of the store offer to
let her stay in the small apartment above it for free, so Kana
accepts.
Taka's parents are convinced that Kana is leaving because she
hates them for what they did, but that isn't the case. Taka
tries to talk to Kana and find out the real reason, but
Kana's explanation is confusing. She tells Taka that she
has to move out because they can't do anything as brother
and sister.
Kana claims that she won't be able to become stronger if
Taka is around her, and that they need to search for a way
that their relationship can be open and honest instead
of an incestuous secret affair.
On moving day, we're treated to some more domestic scenes,
and a tearful goodbye.
Of course this is the best ending you can get, but I found
quite a few things wrong with it. Throughout the game, I never
viewed Taka's relationship with Kana as a sacrifice. I mean
yeah, he never knew that they weren't blood-related until
the very end, but the time and effort he put into nurturing
her life would not have been wasted even if it had turned
out that they were. The chance to meet a perfect soul like
Kana beats the hell out of college clubs and Yumi's rank
fish any day. Taka risked his life to save the woman that
he loved, but in the end it almost seems that his sacrifice
was in vein. He lost Kana to the world. No matter how much
you do for someone, if given a chance, they will leave you
behind. After all Taka did, Kana still chose to leave him
behind. I would like to think that after she got situated
in her new apartment and her new career, that she and Taka
still dated (And eventually got married), but that is not
the story that the ending is telling us. What the ending
is telling us, in a nutshell, is "Okay, we confessed our
love, kissed, and had sex, now it's time to move on (.org)".
If I were to put myself in Taka's shoes, I would not be
able to stop seeing Kana. I would be paranoid that she
would meet someone else (Yuta) and possibly forget
about our wonderful love. Don't give me that "If you
love something, set it free" shit either, we all know
that when you do that, it never comes back. Okay, yes,
I had a bad experience in high school, sue me.
Bottom line, the sex scene was very gratifying, but
I wanted them to get married and have a little Taka
