creativefoolTeam members are in bold, Social Links not shared with Yu are in italics, and OCs are marked with asterisks. Even Social Links that Kanji shares with Yu are often quite different...
0) Fool: The Team - As ever, this Social Link grows with the bonds between the group as a whole. [Auto start]
1) Magician: Yosuke - The son of the local Junes owner. Doesn't know what exactly the group are up to, but he trusts them around the TVs... [Complicated to start]
2) High Priestess: Yukiko - Shares the trials and tribulations of inheriting the family business. And a few cooking tips, dammit. [Starts after rescue]
3) Empress: Margaret - Persona requests. (What's this about her brother?) [Unknown social stat requirement]
4) Emperor: Grandpa Shirogane - A positive older male presence after so long... [Fortune 4]
5) Hierophant: Ms. Sofue - The one teacher who really seems to have time for Kanji, despite her ... quirks. Offers him extra tuition and the likes - but when opportunity comes her way, will she stay in this backwater town? [After first exams]
6) Lovers: Rise - As much as they might argue, he's giving this teen idol a taste of a normal friendship with someone her age. [After rescue]
7) Chariot: Chie - Team Meat And Strong here! Learning what strength and determination can mean together - and that it doesn't have to necessarily involve punching or kicking things. [After rescue]
8) Justice: ??? - A doll-loving youngster who Kanji's not going to let make the same mistakes he has... [Temperance 4]
9) Hermit: The Fox - Yip yip yip, all yo yens, etc. The requests are different. [Auto start when passing shrine one day]
10) Wheel of Fortune: Naoto - Learning how to open up to others, how to make friends... [After rescue, no social stat requirement]
11) Strength: (Yu or Kou.) What do the bonds of family mean? [Chariot 4]
12) Hanged Man: Naoki - Re-establishing a broken connection after the death of his sister, and finding a way forward... ["Baby's First Social Link", auto start]
13) Death: * ??? - Apparently just another sporty jock boy at first glance, but with a secret that she doesn't know how to admit to a disbelieving world... [Hermit 4, after Naoto SL start]
14) Temperance: Ma Tatsumi - A protag who can actually get the Social Link with his parent, gasp? Rebuilding a bridge that's been damaged for so long... [Talk at home]
15) Devil: * ??? - A businessman who looks to have his eyes on Tatsumi Textiles. After all, how could a delinquent run it? But what he wants to run sure isn't the business Kanji's grown up with... [First start opportunity over summer]
16) Tower: * Takahiro Morita - A former star pupil, pressured into perfection by his parents... but all that pressure drives him to snap. On TV. With his world broken around him, he'll need good friends to pull him through. [After rescue, Understanding maxed]
17) Star: Teddie - Insert bear puns here. [Auto start after Shadow]
18) Moon: Ai - Knows what it's like to keep up appearances of someone you don't want to be... [Meets while sent to counselor's office]
19) Sun: * Satomi - A member of the Sewing Club, and the first person to really welcome Kanji on his joining it. Optimistic and driven, despite problems in her home life. [Courage rank 3 (Moon 4?)]
20) Judgement: The team again. [Automatic upgrade from Fool]
20A) Aeon: Marie - ShutupstupidoldgeezerIhateyou etc. Two prickly personalities clashing, but he's challenging her to broaden her horizons, and helps her with her own creative side (once she actually admits to writing those damn poems...) - being who they are, of course they'll have creative pursuits to share. [Via Velvet Room]
21) World: While this is not strictly a Social Link, as well as representing his bonds as a whole, Kanji's subconscious connects this Arcana to his father and to the fact he can finally live up to what was expected of him.
Note: No Adachi Social Link.
Romance routes are Yukiko, Chie, Naoto, Ai, Satomi, Yu and Takahiro - yes, that includes guys and options that aren't Naoto. (Though her route may be a 'default' if no others have been taken.)
His "You spent a long time with..." scenes don't actually involve anyone getting into bed. He's (probably) fifteen at the time and still new to the idea that girls might like him or that he might like anyone... There's a lot of first kisses and hugs and talk about the future. (And Ma walking in on them.)
(Somehow, the guy who starts off with issues talking to girls ends up with more female SLs than male...)
