I'm talking about the notebook seen in the episode 21 of Amagami SS. She said
it contained something that could make her leave the school (maybe being
expelled?).

If it's that serious, could it be a crime? Did I miss an important plot detail
that explains it? Do the contents even get explained in another adaptation of
Amagami like the manga or the VN, or are they completely unknown?

What's written in Ayatsuji Tsukasa's notebook?


There is no mention of the exact contents of the notebook in the original VN
or the anime. There are a couple of short sequel games which I have not gone
through, so in principle there could be some explanation there, but given how
important this is I doubt they'd want to relegate it to a side-game. Hence,
the authors have definitely and deliberately hidden what is in her notebook.

However, there are some good theories. The most common viewpoint is that she
was using the notebook as a diary to vent her frustration with everyone else,
particularly her sister. Despite the fact that Tsukasa is harder-working, her
sister always seems to be more popular. Of course, she has more to vent about
than that, and it's pretty safe to guess that the diary contained all sorts of
things about everyone. That's why, if it ever went public, she wouldn't be
able to go to school any more.

provides a pretty complete and fairly consistent picture of Ayatsuji from a
psychological standpoint. The segment about her notebook is quoted below:
