During the course of the anime, Makoto sleeps around with a lot of the female
cast. In the manga, the story is more focused on the two main female leads.

As far as I know, each deals with a different route from the original Visual
Novel.

In the VN, how many different endings were possible? Was it possible for
Makoto to get with any of the girls that he _didn't_ in the anime? (for
example Nanami Kanroji)

How many endings are there in the School Days Visual Novel?


There are about 20 endings in the School Days Visual Novel. Here's the episode
6 routemap from School Days HQ:

![Episode 6 routemap](https://i.stack.imgur.com/RSvoo.jpg)

[Large image (severe spoilers)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/j0uaJ.jpg)

The last leaves of the routemap tree can be duplicate (I know a single case,
there can be more). The only reliable information about what ending you get is
the title appearing at the end of a route, with the heading "Final Episode".

For example:

![Final Episode: Sexfriend](https://i.stack.imgur.com/lq0yz.jpg)

The attached routemap shows the title of the endings I know as of the time of
writing, and the images you get in the main menu as a result of the route (see
the two samples embedded in the routemap).

The number increases if you count "double" endings, where Makoto goes out with
more than one girl and get a primary and a sort of secondary ending,
explaining a particular outcome

> In one case, two girls are present in a single ending.

Makoto actually can date girls he doesn't get in the anime. In fact, there are
more endings than girls. However, the two main heroines are Sekai and
Kotonoha, and even the in-game graphics show Makoto's affection for them in
the upper bar: red is Makoto's affection for Sekai, green is Makoto's
affection for Kotonoha:

This is the reason why the anime almost only shows these two characters. On
the contrary, by meeting particular conditions, you can choose other heroines
in the game. Actually, there's even an ending where Makoto cannot get any
girl, continuing to live his life normally without any love interest, though
it's not included in the episode 6 routemap above.

As far as I know, Nanami Kanroji is and remains a supporting character in both
the anime and the game.

It's understandable, considering that Nanami Kanroji already has a boyfriend.
She talks a lot about him to her friends and he appears during the School
Festival:

> oniichan by her when they have a sexual intercourse during the School
> Festival.

Being in a relationship herself, Nanami is in a good position to judge other
characters' relationship. Nanami's role in the game seems to be judging
Makoto's actions towards her friend Sekai, she has a very important role at
the end of one of the routes. A hypothetical relationship between Makoto and
her would destroy her credibility in the eyes of the player, reducing the
impact of many key scenes.
