Susumu Yamazaki (Visual Novel)/Route

This walkthrough follows the paths that contain the most interactions with Susumu Yamazaki and the fewest interactions with other candidates, even when there are no changes in affection. Some choices might raise other character's affection, however, if everything is done correctly, it should not affect the main route.
==In Hakuōki: Shinsengumi Kitan==
This walkthrough follows Yamazaki's extra content. His "In Days Past" stories are unlocked by completing his sub-route in "Shinsengumi Adventures 1". Several of them have since been integrated into Hakuōki: Kyoto Winds and its sequel. The answers for the main game are therefore largely the same as for the original game.
