Haruka Pop Star route opened during epsiode 6.
They made lotsa changes to the story, so i cant be sure when she will appear...
example, maids are maids, not mikos!!
(Damn, Alice in miko outfit... damn... I almost wanna be like Rena and go kidnap Alice... but she looks nicer in maid outfit too... damn...)
Anyways it was supposed to be a class outing, that explains why Haruka and gang are all there. And so Haruka is surrounded by classmates.
Haruka route seems to have changed.... Well, she is not so out-going as to hop onto Yuto and did what she did like in the anime... The rest are largely the same, except for their fortunes. If you choose not to get fortunes from the shrine, you would unlock an event, "the meeting with the travelling miko". Furthermore, Haruka got a good fortune(She is indeed blessed by the heavens), but Yuto was not as fortunate(He is indeed cursed by all the males in the world, or by Haruhi's saying, 90% of males). Then you would unlock the illustration that was in the first season OP, where Haruka tied their papers together. It is some custom or something? to tie a bad fortune on a tree to ward off the bad fortune. And Haruka tied her good fortune with Yuto's in order to "share her good fortune" with Yuto.
Shiina route seems to be gone... Yuto should not have just found that ring, but instead approached Shiina for help for "Present for Haruka", then get Shiina to show him a shop, and then Yuto will have to choose to option "Get Shiina a ring as a gift in return" to turn on Shiina's flag. Just as Haruka's ring depicts Lunar, the moon, if i recall correctly, Shiina's depicts the sun. Thus the contrast of them being different and rivals being stated explicitly. Furthermore, if Yuto goes to get the free sake and food for the class, Shiina would volunteer to help Yuto carry the stuff to send some time together. And then they will stop for a moment to listen to Milan(if that's the name)'s song, whenever Shiina and Yuto talks about songs, it is usually Milan's songs. Later, she would realise she lost a precious hairpin, and Yuto can choose to "find the hairpin for Shiina" to open another flag for Shiina. These actions are important to see why Shiina loves Yuto.
As for Milan route, the first encounter was quite hectic, she was in a big rush, and hurried off quickly, unlike the anime. And upon unlocking Haruka's pop star route... She would be too busy with her work and would be unable to accompany Yuto, and so Milan becomes available.
P.S. a small personal request, can someone make me a cute picture of Alice? If anyone's gonna make one, make sure its cute please~
