Functions

There are sixteen standard functions on the main screen, which can be divided into three sections.

The yellow functions represent the stats raising functions, and are accessible all the time (weekday and weekend). Clicking on a yellow function on a weekday will make you do the specified activity until the weekend, unless there is a public holiday. Clicking on it during a Sunday will make you do it for the whole day, but your parameters increase faster compared to an entire week's increase.

The orange functions are only available during weekends or holidays (including public). clicking on an orange function will make you do the activity for the entire Sunday (yes, even phoning).

The green functions are functions that will not affect the passage of time (i.e. you won't lose a day checking the net compared to visiting Tsukushi) and can be accessed at any time, weekday or weekend.

For various events there are also five other special functions which will replace one or all of the yellow functions.

A picture of the main screen with both functions and stats can be seen here and the rough arrangement of the sixteen functions is as follows:

| Sleep | Study | Paint | Club |
| Exercise | Fashion | Beauty | Friend |

| Phone | Shop | Tsukushi |
Option/Save/EVS |
| Clothes | Net | Calendar | Email |

Click on the words for more information.

Notes:
- The underlined words refer to a certain parameter (that explains the ungrammaticalness), more info on which can be found in the section on parameters.
- 'Stat/statistic' and 'parameter' are used interchangeably, though 'parameter' is considered the official word.
- The amount of influence (raising or lowering) a function has on a parameter is denoted in the phrases, from the least influence to the most, 'very little', 'a little', 'some', and lastly the main increase is unmodified by an adjective.
- All yellow functions excluding 'sleep' raise your stress.


Sleep
This function lets you sleep. It lowers your stress, but it lowers everything else, too. It is recommended to only sleep during weekends, because then only one other parameter will be lowered, compared to weekdays when almost all will suffer.

Study
This function lets you study. It raises your intelligence, some art and a little fashion, but lowers your sports and a little charm.

Paint
This function lets you paint pictures of cats and flowers. It raises your art, some fashion and a little intelligence, but lowers a little sports and social.

Once you have joined a club the function will now show a symbol of the club you chose.

Clicking on the club function will enable you to practise your club's activity or attend meetings (and competitions), while the option that appears beside it (with the original picture when you were in no club) allows you to quit. The parameters influenced depends on the club you chose.

Shop
This function usually lets you go out shopping alone, so you can buy clothes and accessories. However, if you have a date or study date on the day the function will change to reflect a heart (instead of the usual stick figure), and clicking on the function will let you go for your date. If going for a date, clicking on the function will first bring you to the Clothes function for you to select clothes and accessories for the date.

This function is multi-option, and rolling your mouse over will scroll out two more functions at the side. These functions are listed in order, from left to right, below.

This function will open the same box as the options which can be chosen in the Game Start menu. More information on this function can be found
here.

Save and Load
This function opens a box in which you can save and load your current or previous games. The top row, from left to right, gives you the choices 'save', 'load', 'copy' and 'clear' You can save fifteen games in one memory card and if you have a second memory you can save another fifteen. The lower portion of the box lists the information of the current game (e.g. your club), and the character you're closest with (including girls) will appear in an SD picture with you doing their favourite thing (e.g. Kazuma with a basketball).

This function lets you adjust the intonation in which the characters call your name so that it sounds more natural. You can also change your EVS name and EH WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO MELI?

Clothes
This function lets you change your clothes and accessories. You can also save combinations of clothes for you to change more easily in the future. This function will automatically be opened when you go out for a date (click on the shop function while it has a heart).

Habataki Net
This function, actually defined as your personal computer, lets you surf the Habataki Net. It is very important in your game life, so check it at least once every month. The Habataki Net consists of four sections, each of which are expounded on below, in the order they appear on the net.

Habataki News
Take it from us, this is the most important part of the net. It has all the latest news relevant to your game life, including new date spots, events and shops. Also, for some new date spots (e.g. bungee jumping), you must click on the link in order to unlock it. So click on all links! The news is updated every month.

Schedule of Movies etc.
This is the schedule and synopsis of all entertainment in Habataki City which changes, meaning movies, theater and the event hall. This is useful if you're planning to bring your date to one of these three date spots (please, don't drag Madoka to the symphony orchestra). The schedule is updated every three months.

Tokimeki Horoscope
The Tokimeki Horoscope! No, this is not superstitious flak. Maybe in the real world, but in the game world it actually influences your progress! There are predictions for four aspects of your life, 'study', 'leisure', 'health' and 'love'. For the first three, the prediction will influence your stats (e.g. a smiley face for 'study' means your intelligence rises faster), whereas for 'love' it influences the likelihood of a guy accepting your date. The prediction is over four weeks (one month), one prediction for each week. The horoscope is updated every month.

Goro's Column
Just because it has Goro's name on it doesn't mean you should take it lightly. This is because Goro's column is for discussing the 'in' thing, and be quite useful in dating guys like Madoka (hey, even Kei compliments your being fashionable). If you don't want to read the entire thing, just note the phrases in colour. There will be three in all. The first is on the type of clothing that is fashionable, the second is the 'in' colour and the last the accessory. Goro's column is updated every month.

Calendar
This function will bring up another box showing your schedule for this month and the next. Scroll over any icon to see what is the event for that day. Note that if one of more events happen on the same day, only one icon will be shown, so be careful of that (especially if there might be club meetings).

Email
This function lets you read your mail, though you can't delete or do anything else to them. When you have new mail, the word 'NEW' will be seen on the email function. There are only four kinds of mail you will receive. One, the one you will receive most often (if you're sociable), is from your girl friends.

You will also receive mail every month notifying you of updates to Habataki news, as well as email notifying you that you may apply for a part-time job, which you will receive once you meet their requirements (e.g. the first job offer comes when your social is above 50). The last kind of email you will receive is from
Chiharu, the hidden character of Tokimeki, and is the only kind you can reply to.

Special Functions
There are five other functions which will appear during certain events, which can be classified into two types. One is the function which cannot be skipped, as it happens on a weekday (orange functions unavailable) and all yellow functions are replaced by this function. Simply click any function to attend. The other is a function which can be skipped, as it only replaces one yellow function. These functions are described, in no particular order, below.

It replaces the club function exactly two weeks before the Culture Festival and is for you to prepare your club's showing at the culture Festival. Even without a club the function will still appear. It influences a little of all your parameters.
