Story (from g-collections) Just days before graduation, Ryo recalls his life as a student and the various people who were part of it. Kaho Nagira, who dragged him into the literary arts club when he was a Freshman. Kaho's younger friend Kyoko Ashihara, who had a crush on him. Yuka Otowa, who was always alone, no matter who she was with. The school nurse Kaori Shitoh, who always had a bed waiting for him to take a nap in. And... Last but not least, his big sister Ayame, who did her best to protect him after the death of their parents. Those were real experiences leaving real memories... Days we thought would last forever... 3. General Hints/Tips This game is categorized as a multi-ending 'Pure love novel adventure' game, which basically means the equivalent of other Romance type ADV, decision-tree games. Your response to a particular girl may alter the outcome of each girl. This walkthrough will lead you to individual endings for each girl. Make sure to save often! *Notice the graphics are very detailedly drawn as one would expect from a female artist. 4. Characters Ryo Sasaki - Ryo Sasaki is the hero of our story. He's just an ordinary guy, but because he doesn't often show his feelings to the others, many think of him as curt, reticent, and lethargic. He skips a lot of classes, but it seems he's calculated just how much he has to attend to graduate. Kaho Nagira - Kaho, who is in the same class as Ryo, is the literary arts club president. She has a friendly personality, and she's very popular. She seems the quiet type, but when they were freshmen, she coerced Ryo into joining the club. She can be extremely forceful. She likes Ryo more than as a friend, but she's going steady with his best friend. She was friend with Kyoko before they started high school. Kyoko Ashihara - Kyoko is a year younger than Ryo and Kaho. Upon entering high school, she joined the literary arts club. Kyoko met Ryo when she joined, and it was love-at-first-sight. Usually, Kyoko seems a bit out in left field and doesn't show how she really feels. She always looks like she just woke up. Being taller than most girls, she feels awkward about her height. Yuka Otowa - Yuka is in the same class as Ryo. She has a bright, outgoing personality, but she pretends like she doesn't care about anything. She either does this to piss people off, or she's just plain terrible at interacting with others. She thinks of herself as dirty and has always dreamed of being pure like an angel. Kaori Shito - Kaori is the school nurse at Ryo's school. She got to know Ryo because he always comes to the nurse's office to take naps, but it appears she's known Ryo's sister Ayame for a long time. Kaori is beautiful, but she talks like a guy, so most people think she's cold. It appears all the guys except Ryo think so, too. Ayame Sasaki - Ayame is Ryo's step sister. Ever since their parents were killed in a traffic accident, she has taken care of him. She really enjoys watching Ryo grows up; so much that she has set any plans for herself by the wayside. It seems as though she isn't as interested in fads and fashions as most women her age are. Miyu - Sasaki met her when by accident by hearing her play the piano Tomonori - reliable, honour student 5.
