Nekopara Vol. 2

Nekopara Vol. 2 is the third installment in the Nekopara Visual Novel series. The game focuses on Coconut and Azuki, who develop a romantic affection for Kashou.

Tropes used in Nekopara Vol. 2 include:
  • Adaptation Explanation Extrication: After sucking on Kashou's finger and freaking out, Azuki went to rest in his bedroom, but because of the smell of his bed, she masturbated with an immense passion until she fell asleep. Vanilla found her like that and changed her clothes, later using that fact to blackmail Azuki into admitting her feelings to Kashou, a fact which is censored in the All-Ages version.
  • Arbitrarily-Large Bank Account: Shigure, upon seeing Chocola and Vanilla shopping online and getting impressed with a type of tuna valued at 1 270 000 yen, suggests buying the whole tuna for them if they behave for the bell renewal. However, for her to do so, they would have to buy a refrigerator just for the tuna. Shigure offers to buy another whole tuna for Kashou, but he declines.
    • Kashou values his little sister's wealth as several times more than his store's worth.
  • Bad Liar: Chocola and Vanilla try to lie to Shigure that they haven't eaten takoyaki on the way home. They don't go very far with that.

Cinnamon: That's an awfully sloppy lie, you know. Not that I don't like it~

  • The game then labels them as "Dumbass Catgirl Sisters"

Chocola: We weren't munching on takoyaki or anything, Chocola swears!

Kashou: (thinking) I can tell that her brother complex is getting much worse.

  • Big Brother Instinct: Discussed by Coconut, who really gets into the role of a little sister to Kashou, calling him "onii-chan." Some of the other catgirls later note on the fact.
  • Big Damn Hero: Coconut saves Milk from a car collision.
    • Pinky Swear: Milk pinky swears to Coconut that she won't make her master sad again.
  • Cannot Spit It Out When faced with Kashou in the climactic encounter, Azuki freezes, even with Vanilla present.

Vanilla: You've come this far, but you can't still be honest with yourself?

  • Continuity Nod: Kashou has not changed the decoration of his bedroom, ever since Shigure designed it in a very girly way.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: Conversed when Kashou cleans Chocola and Vanilla's ears. Then they start moaning...

Vanilla: You're such a pervy pastry puffer.

  • Azuki drops a bowl of custard, which spills on her face and Kashou's hands. That white, sticky custard...
  • In the scene's Intermission, Cinnamon thinks Azuki is covered in "Kashou's impure white stuff".
  • Fancy Dinner: Kashou invites Azuki to an expensive restaurant to reward her on her good work and to let her relax.
  • Freudian Slip: When Coconut succeeds in breaking an egg without stressing out, she congratulates herself and almost calls Kashou "Onii-cha--" before getting embarrassed and correcting herself ("Kashou-sama"). Kashou doesn't mind it.
  • Gilligan Cut:
    • Coconut wants special cooking training from Kashou (to prove Azuki wrong) and he accepts. Thirty minutes later, and Coconut is emotionally broken down.
    • Coconut volunteers to make a cake with Kashou and Azuki. He seems oddly lenient in letting her do it, citing her "hidden potential." Coconut says she'll give it her all. Cut to her wailing about completely messing up the cake (she put cream on it the wrong way). Kashou wonders how in the world she did that and Azuki says she expected that to happen.
      • Kashou doesn't think the cake can be salvaged. Cut to Azuki having done just that, with the cake in perfect shape (there's even a standing ovation in the background).
  • Gratuitous French: The subtitle: "Des sœurs filles-chats très gentilles" (Very kind catgirl sisters)
    • In the epilogue, some of Shigure's Engrish is translated into French.
  • High-Pressure Emotion: Shigure, when kissed on the cheek by her brother, goes completely gaga ("Ababababababa!"). She faints, twitching, and nosebleeds a pool of blood. Cinnamon reacts with How Dare You Die on Me!
  • I Knew It!: The day after Coconut's first time, Vanilla says "I told you Master is a perv."
  • Inelegant Blubbering: An aural example, during Coconut's breakdown after the special training.
  • Interrupted Intimacy/Sorry to Interrupt: Subverted, Deconstructed. In the kitchen, Kashou and Chocola are right in the middle of foreplay when Coconut opens the door. Visibly embarrased, she apologises and attempts to leave, but Kashou grabs her shoulder. At this point, the two wait awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Coconut is struggling with her emotions, between attraction to Kashou and embarrasment at herself for witnessing a sexual relationship. That's when Chocola steps in and shows her how it's done.
  • Lampshade Hanging: The game's premise is Discussed from time to time by Vanilla, Chocola and Shigure.
  • Noblewoman's Laugh: When Shigure talks business with La Soleil:

Shigure: Nii-sama, it won't take long before La Soleil makes its debut on the world stage! Hoh-hohoho!♪
Kashou: (thinking) ...My little sister's knack for business sure is scary.

  • Shigure laughs her heart out when she discovers Coconut and Kashou spent the night together and when the same happens with Azuki.
  • Not So Different: Right in the aftermath of Coconut's outburst, Kashou recalls to Azuki the time when he tried to help Shigure and they got into a huge fight.
  • Oblivious to Love: Kashou still doesn't seem to understand the implications of his generous acts to his catgirls (and Shigure). For instance:

Shigure: Teehee, Nii-sama, you're always so smooth. If only I wasn't your little sister...
Kashou: Hm? What do you mean?
(Shigure shakes her head)
Shigure: Oh, nothing, nothing.

  • Put on a Bus: Shigure volunteers to go with Chocola and Vanilla for their bell renewal test, with Chocola shouting for help to Kashou, who pretends to ignore her. Their training takes more time than the usual week.
  • Running Gag: Azuki getting petted and her purring by instinct.
  • Sequel Hook: Cinammon teases Maple about Kashou's future romantic conquests and makes herself drool in preversion, while Shigure orders Chocola and Vanilla to teach the two other catgirls to capture Ni-sama's heart.

Cinammon: (to Maple) Um... Maybe... It's just a guess now, but just maybe... if this pattern keeps up... Do you think that... you and I will get our turns next~?
Maple: What? What are your talking about, 'pattern'? Could you not talk to me like I'm some sort of loose Molly cat?

  • Skinship Grope: In a later scene, Coconut rubs her whole body at Kashou, as he desperately tries to resist his temptations, when Chocola pops in and demands a rub for herself. She starts to rub against her older sister ("Hm... hmhm... hrmm...") when:

Coconut: Wh-what's wrong, Chocola? Is there... something wrong with me?
Chocola: Coco-chan, your boobies are so cushiny! So flubby-wubby! Wow, this is crazy! They feel so squishy, meow!

  • Second Act Misunderstanding: After Kashou and Azuki's dinner at a fancy restaurant, they return to the bakery. Azuki speaks about sweet-talking Coconut, like she usualy does, and Kashou replies in a joking matter. Suddenly, Coconut appears, confounded and shocked at their words. Kashou is completely aware of the implications and knows that what he and Azuki were discussing could be misinterpreted as them making fun of Coconut. He thinks about choosing his words carefully. Unfortunately, Azuki opens her mouth...
    • Azuki slaps Coconut right in the middle of her outburst and tells her off. Coconut then runs away in tears.
  • Too Much Information: Vanilla enters Kashou's room, just as he and Azuki are having an awkward moment together:

Kashou: What's Chocola up to?
Vanilla: She went to take her bath. She's probably taking off her panties right about now.
Kashou: I don't need to know that much, Vanilla.

Azuki: Big sisters who make their little sisters cry are just the worst, aren't they...?

  • Later:

Coconut: Sorry... I wasted so much of your time...
Azuki: It's not just your fault, you know. Only one of us is allowed to make self-deprecatin' jokes.

  • Ship Teasing: Discussed. At the kitchen, Chocola and Vanilla lay their playful opinions on the possible relationship between Kashou and Coconut and/or Azuki. The catgirls involved get flustered, and Kashou ends up thinking about it.
  • Status Quo Is God: Even after Coconut's special training and her claiming she won't get riled up by Azuki's insults, they still eventually bicker. Lampshaded by Maple, Cinnamon and Kashou.

"Some things never change"

  • Stealth Insult: After Coconut is tutored by Kashou, she manages to do a better job than in the past:

Coconut: Howzat, Azuki? Even I can manage this with a little effort!
Azuki: Whoa, whoa, that's awesome! Looks like you're finally at the top of the bottom. Keep it up, keep it up.
Coconut: (To Kashou) Did you hear, Onii-chan?! Azuki praised me! SHE praised me!!

Cinnamon: (about Maple and Coconut fighting) They're going at it quite a bit today, aren't they? (gets embarrassed) Ah, I don't mean 'going at it' in that way. It's not like that, okay?
Maple: Cinnamon, could you stop? (looks sideways) I don't want people thinking I'm associated with you.
