Introduction
I have divided the game into 9 stages (phases), which differ from each other in the features of the interface and even game mechanics. All phases are successive parts of the plot.

Passing phases is irreversible: when you enter a new phase, the game changes, and it is impossible to return to the previous state, even by starting a new game. The only way to save your progress at a certain point is to make a backup of the game saves (folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Nitroplus\totono). If you delete this folder, the game will return to the beginning of phase 1.

The game has only one route (which splits in two at phases 6 and 7, but then merges again). The final ending is determined by the choice made immediately before it, and is independent of the player's previous actions.

The game mechanics mostly consist of choosing the correct action from two options, but in phase 6 you will need to increase (or, conversely, decrease) Miyuki's affection points. Phases 6 and 8 are endless loops, to exit which you need to fulfill a number of conditions.

At the end of the game (at phase 8), you will need to pass a test by correctly answering 10 questions in a row about Miyuki's personal characteristics. There are about 30 of these characteristics in total, and each time a new game starts (from phase 1), their values are chosen randomly (from a given list). Thus, the correct answers to the test are different for each playthrough. To pass it, you either need to pay attention to what Miyuki says and remember it, or rerun the test multiple times, guessing the correct answers.

The detailed structure of the game depicted in the scheme. Below there is also a short text walkthrough.

Notes on phases 5–8
In phases 5–8, save and load will be disabled (the game will autosave at certain points). At the beginning of phase 5, all your previous saves will be permanently deleted. You also won't be able to start a new game until you reach phase 9.

Phase 6 is an endless loop of the following pair of elements:
1) a standard morning conversation (there is a part where you have to choose one of three possible answers);
2) a random Miyuki’s memory (out of 15 possible).
You can also start any of the memories from the game menu ("Memories" item). For detailed information about each memory, see the scheme.
Phase 8 is in core the same loop, but simplified.

In phases 5 and 6, most of your actions will either gain or lose Miyuki's affection points. The starting value is –1. You need to get +13 (Very Happy) or –13 (Very Upset) points (as well as do some other necessary actions) to break the loop in phase 6.
To roughly know how many Miyuki points you have at the moment, pay attention to how she looks when choosing an answer option in the morning conversation (phase 6), and compare it with the table:



There are two possible routs in phases 6 and 7, and I’ll describe both. The routs merges again in phase 8.
Happy Miyuki Route is recommended if you are going for Miyuki True Ending, and Angry Miyuki Route – for Aoi True Ending (or choose it if at the beginning of phase 5 you feel that you have got not enough).

Choose Aoi or Miyuki. The ending depends on this choice, obviously.

Phase 9
It is ending sequence with no significant choices.
And saving is enabled again! However, it is now useless.
Note that the final state of the Gallery (CGs, Music, and Scenes) is different in Aoi and Miyuki's Endings.
