  1. Why do you recommend going to the ScreenShot on December 28th, if the character’s social statistics are already at maximum?

    • In my opinion it makes more sense to go to work, since the trophy of earning ¥50,000 in part-time jobs has not yet been unlocked

      • that and stats are already maxed out at this point.

        this guide is excellent but there are days that need double checking such as fuuka’s social link.

  2. On 12/23 is says: make sure all characters are level 47, don’t you mean 74? I’m pretty sure most characters are around level 60 by December.
