YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story Walkthrough (Nitroplus / JAST USA)

Secret Kiss is Sweet and Tender

This is a walkthrough for the “YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story” visual novel by Nitroplus, published in English by JAST USA. Which was originally released in Japan under the full title of Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi. Sometimes also known as totono.

This guide is a translation of the original Japanese walkthrough by Seiya-saiga. So all credits to them.

YOU and ME and HER plays somewhat differently when compared to a normal visual novel. It contains various tricks and a almost completely fixed route order. While there are 2 heroines and 2 endings, please follow the instructions below. You’ll need just 2 save slots. But you will unlock all uncensored CGs.

Notes

  • This guide should also work with the limited physical edition, but is untested with the Steam edition.
  • Now, since this game has a lot of “non-choices” there will be lots of spoilers in the list below. But I can’t really change that.

  • Give it to Miyuki

  • Call God
  • Let her do it
  • I love you
  • Take her phone
  • Go find the cat
  • To take photos of a cat
  • Go find the cat
  • But I do.
  • His name is Eru.
  • Just like the night we found her.
  • Eru is a transceiver cat.
  • So I’m pretty sure I know where he’s taking me.
  • Actions you’d ordinarily never take.
  • Actions that don’t make sense in context.
  • I have to break the cycle.
  • I have to control the protagonist.
  • Guide him to the true ending.
  • It’s the only way to truly save her.
  • But this doesn’t surprise me.
  • After all, this is the center of the universe.
  • Where radio wave reception is at its peak.
  • And the transceiver cat brought us here.
  • You want to know what led you here?
  • It was me. The player on the other side of the screen.
  • The one who gets to pick your choices.
  • ALMOST completely?
  • I remember Miyuki said the same thing.
  • But that code number is gone.
  • Miyuki changed it.
  • Okay, but how can we find it?
  • This whole conversation is being recorded in the backlog.
  • If you tell it to us…
  • Miyuki will find out and change it.
  • The subject’s universe?
  • Reality…?
  • You mean, MY universe?
  • Yes
  • I don’t know Miyuki’s variable
  • Put it in
  • (Now here’s some calculating you need to do)
    • Remember God’s number (For example 99990044145)
    • And take out your code (For example 99990044145 – 36562211 = 99953481934)
    • Then add the number of times you’ve finished inside of Miyuki (you can look in the backlog if you forgot)
      • For example 99953481934 + 15 = 99953481949
    • And then input this number
  • A very familiar voice.
  • Aoi…
  • Does she even remember me?
  • But just then–
  • She’s wearing a hairpin.
  • It’s the same one I gave her.
  • There’s no mistaking it.
  • It’s really her…
  • The same Aoi I made love to on the rood that night.
  • A loud BANG echoes across the roof.
  • Miyuki takes one look at Aoi and gapes.
  • She stands rooter to the spot.
  • Then Aoi calls out to her old friend.
  • There’s a pause.
  • The words leave her lips in a small, strangled voice.
  • They stare at each other in silence.
  • No one makes a sound.
  • Time passes.
  • Miyuki looks ready to fight.
  • But Aoi isn’t backing down.
  • Miyuki falls silent.
  • She speaks in a quiet voice.
  • Miyuki doesn’t respond.
  • Miyuki looks back, eyes full of tears.
  • Miyuki can’t let go.
  • And it’s probably because…
  • I betrayed her.
  • I vowed my eternal love to her.
  • And then I made choices that ran contrary to that vow.
  • Miyuki rounds on me.
  • I’m the one who drove her to the breaking point.
  • I asked Aoi to change the world for my own sake.
  • So the fault lies with me.
  • I know that.
  • But…
  • Wait… But I only just brought her back!
  • Now she’s going to disappear again?
  • Sync…?
  • I don’t like the sound of that.
  • Her love towards me is a glitch.
  • And it ought to be investigated.
  • That’s what God was saying, at least… but…
  • Her feelings came about as a result of remaining unsynced.
  • If we really do reset the world…
  • What will happen when Aoi syncs her memories with God?
  • No–
  • The tears keep flowing down her cheeks.
  • No way in hell these are happy tears.
  • Her emotions are a glitch?
  • And erasing them is supposedly the correct thing to do?
  • That can’t be right!
  • Aoi begs me desperately.
  • She’s going to set the world right again.
  • All to save her best friend Miyuki.
  • And in so doing, Aoi has to disappear.
  • This is her final request.
  • And I ought to grant it–
  • Miyuki…
  • …and Aoi…
  • …are both looking at me wordlessly.
  • Yeah.
  • I know.
  • Yeah.
  • Yeah, I did.
  • I know.
  • Is that you, Shinichi?
  • Once.
  • The word reverberates in my chest.
  • My hands start to sweat.
  • I keep blinking nervously.
  • I’m breathing loudly… too loudly.
  • Miyuki moves in closer.
  • I’m the one who bound her fate to mine.
  • Aoi clings to me.
  • I’m the one who taught her how to love.
  • (You can now click on the character ending of your choosing. You can only choose 1 unless you reset your save afterwards)
  • * Miyuki or Aoi
    • The gallery afterwards will also reflect the heroine of your choosing.

Miyuki

  • Will you trust me?
  • I know I can’t prove it…
  • I know all we have are these choices…
  • Just the click of a mouse…
  • But my feelings behind the screen are the real deal.
  • Will you believe me?
  • Even after the world reset, we’ll still be together.
  • Won’t we?
  • Let’s go back.
  • …Yeah.
  • It’s fate.
  • …Let’s go, Miyuki.
  • We turn back…
  • …but she’s already hone.
  • Who was she?
  • Now we’ll never know.
  • I’m overcome with an indescribable sense of loss.
  • But it’ll probably fade soon.
  • Still, this is the path I chose.
  • It’s my just desserts.
  • Her phone lies forgotten on the ground.
  • She checks the screen.
  • Then she taps the Call button…
  • …and starts the rollback.
  • Yeah, I know.
  • This time I’m sure I can make it happen.
  • After all, we’ve pledged our eternal love to each other.
  • With our hearts full of hope…
  • …and overflowing love…
  • …and the last lingering traces of remorse…
  • …we send the signal.
  • (The game will close, restart it manually)
  • Check the call history

Aoi

  • Don’t pretend you don’t have any.
  • There’s so much we still haven’t done!
  • I wanted to spend more time with you…
  • We promised, didn’t we?
  • And we still haven’t gone on any dates–!
  • What do you mean…?
  • Miyuki turns away.
  • Her voice shakes.
  • She keeps her back turned as she speaks.
  • With that, Miyuki walks off.
  • I have no words.
  • I couldn’t reciprocate her feelings for me…
  • …and yet here she is, rooting for me anyway.
  • Desperately, I rack my brain.
  • I know Miyuki wouldn’t lie to me about something like that.
  • Which means there’s got to be a way…
  • A way for me and Aoi to be together.
  • Wait! Just give me a second!
  • No!
  • No it’s not!
  • This can’t be goodbye!
  • It can’t end like this!!!
  • My scream echoes across the world–
  • Aoi presses the Call button.
  • In a flash, I reach out–
  • –and my fingers–
  • –brush hers–
  • (The game will close, restart it manually)
  • Check the call history
  • After Aoi and I sent the transmission…
  • All I could do was stare.
  • This is the gap between worlds.
  • We’ve left the game world…
  • And now we’re in transit.
  • Aoi’s going back to God…
  • And I’m going back to the real world.
  • There’s nothing left to do.
  • No Aoi…
  • No choices…
  • The world will carry on like always.
  • The two of them will never each an understanding.
  • And all I can do is watch.
  • It’s not?
  • That’s…
  • …the photo we took together…?
  • …Right.
  • Shinichi was convinced he couldn’t be friends with Miyuki.
  • So if he were to see this photo…
  • Maybe it would change things.
  • The last step, huh…
  • My story ends here.
  • Will this email give them the help they need?
  • Honestly, I’m not sure.
  • But…
  • With love in our hearts, we press the Send button
  • From here on, it’s their story.
  • A story in another world… A story that doesn’t belong here.
  • And I choose to believe in them.
  • I pray
  • that Shinichi and Miyuki find happiness
  • in another world–
  • …Wait… Another world…
  • That’s it!
  • Yeah…
  • For now.
  • Let’s go on a date sometime soon.
  • I owe it to you, after all.
  • No you won’t.
  • Aoi touches my hand.
  • All at once, a stream of memories flows out.
  • Memories from other worlds…
  • Memories of heroines I’ve never met.
  • And it’ll be me.
  • The guy you meet there? It’ll be me.
  • You’re an amalgamation, right? An abstract?
  • When you sync your memories with God…
  • Your memories will be connected to every other heroine.
  • Maybe you’ll look totally different…
  • But in every other visual novel I play after this one…
  • In each of the heroines…
  • A part of you will be there, deep down.
  • Your glitch will live on.
  • So all we have to do is meet again in another world.
  • Yeah, I’ll be looking forward to it.
  • I will.
  • No matter how far away you might be…
  • I’ll find the faintest trace of your signal…
  • And I’ll follow it until I find you, Aoi.
  • I promise, I’ll find you again.
  • And then again.
  • We’ll keep our promise as entirely different characters.
  • And again, and again…
  • Until we find our happy ending.
  • It won’t be long.
  • After this game ends…
  • I’ll move on to other games with other romance options.
  • Dozens of new possibilities waiting for me.
  • Dozens of choices to make.
  • Dozens of endings to achieve.
  • Maybe I won’t fall in love with them for real.
  • Maybe I’ll be emotionally absent, like Aoi was before she lost her phone.
  • I’ll just save and reload over and over…
  • Not giving it any more thought beyong following a walkthrough.
  • But I know…
  • Aoi will always be with me.
  • And as long as I remember her…
  • The heroines in those games…
  • Will all serve as vessels for Aoi’s love.
  • And that’ll give their endings even more depth.
  • Soon the credits will roll.
  • And the game will end.
  • But our memories will still be here.
  • And I know I’ll meet her again someday.
  • I’m sure of that.
  • And so we left the world behind.

You can’t see the other ending without resetting your save data.
