The Friendzone and Katawa Shoujo

Friendzone: when you like someone and would prefer that person to be your lover, but that person sees you only as a friend at best. It tends to hurt, but the mature thing is to move on with your life, find someone new. Yeah, but most people don't really *do* the mature thing, do they? Nope, they need to go to some stupid site like LiveJournal or Tumblr and complain about it! Several bloggers and writers have already written about the Friendzone, and all that has needed to be said about it, has already been said. But today, I want to look at how that brilliant Visual Novel, Katawa Shoujo, deals with the concept of Friendzone.
