The company describes the game:
It had been about a year since a young man had come to Yunagicho. And in this town, he had met quite a few people.
A serious young girl working part-time at a cafe-Yukimura Chieri
An innocent shrine maiden from one of the beastmen's homelands-Amamiya Mikuri
A gentle and kind woman who acts as a coordinator for the local beastmen-Misono Ichika
A strong-willed gamer who wants to be cool-Maiba Nana
A young girl who is a bit shy, but actually has quite a backbone-Momose KaguyaThe story of his love affairs with these women continues.
And some brand new pages are about to be added to this story.As Kaguya goes on a school trip, our protagonist grows closer to her older sister, Momose Mitsuki, the dango master. Also, Kohana, a self-proclaimed deity who apparently called our heroes and Mikuri to Yunagicho, has been revived. She has declared that she will conquer the town, so are our friends in big trouble now!?
With the addition of more unique friends, the already exciting days will become even more lively!
Let's do our best today, with both our familiar friends and our new friends!
