I won Sakura Beach 2 the other day, but now I'm wondering...
Should I put off playing it till I have Sakura Beach part 1? I'm afraid I will miss out on the storyline and all the lore from part 1 if I dive straight into part 2. I love story driven games with multiple layers and meandering story-arches that keep you on your toes, and very deep and prose-like lore, so I don't want to venture around like a newbie wondering what is going on when I play Sakura Beach 2.

Please advice me what to do, thanks!

Should I start with part 2 or wait for part 1?

You should wait. The Sakura Beach games are an intricate web of different storylines and can easily confuse you if you go in unprepared.
Go ahead. Although the story arches and deep lore can be very confusing at times you can always read the 567 page Player Handbook or the 203 page Introduction to Sakura Games Lore and Character Analysis.

Hmmm, haven't really played any of them yet, so can't really advice you on it. Sorry!

I voted to wait. I only enter these games for the story.

It's been a few months since Seiji last visited the beach. After enduring the chaos of his new daily life, another holiday with his childhood friends is just what he needs. However, the appearance of another girl whose love of space rivals his own ensures that his trip will be anything but peaceful.

So, i think, do the 1st 1st

You have to play Sakura Beach Prelude v.0.1 In order to fully experience the true understanding of this series.

Pm me on steam and we can chat about where to get it :)

Oh, sounds good, is it better than the "Salmon Rushdie Guide to Everything Sakura 101" ?

Oh, so much better but see my comment below about how you need to play Sakura the Trip before that... and I just remembered about Sakura: The Golden Years where they tell about the stuff they did when they were younger.... remembering about their amazing plots and stuff...

Sakura Beach? Aren't most games with Sakura basically just fan service with a hint of gameplay? I might make some people mad, but I don't think you miss out just playing the second one? :D

[/insert random fanboy rant here] But it's so important to the plot and storyline for you to make sure you know what is going on! You have to actually play Sakura: The Trip from Home to really appreciate it, I forgot to mention this to him above - then you can play prelude... then you can play #1 - of course if you know of any other in the series.... Then you can let us all know!

Super serious plot and Storyline and character development .....
no really

Played Sakura Angels and while the story is bullshit with a shit ton of fan service, I enjoyed it since the writing is so cringe worthy that it is beautiful. The entire time I just imagined a failed writer who hated his life writing the script for the game that I couldn't help but smile throughout.

I only got them yesterday myself so no idea how related they are to one another. If the story is a direct continuation though my 2 cents is wait. Anyway thanks for the gib and here's a bump!

Do you have part 1? are you likely to get it some time soon?

I won F.E.A.R. 2, then picked up F.E.A.R. 1 at a reasonable price just so I could play them in order. But if it means waiting a year or two, then don't.
