About

The town of Edo. People come and go, merchants shout their wares, and samurai walk the thoroughfares. Lively voices drift from the theaters, and the town is filled with the vibrant energy typical of the Edo period. In one corner of this town stands the "Edo Academy of General Studies," a school attended by many students. It is an institution where anyone can learn as an equal, regardless of social status or family background. There are children of samurai families, children of townspeople, and even those who commute from farming villages. The faces of the students passing through the school gates today are truly diverse. Oda Nobunaga, the school's greatest fool. Takasugi Shinsaku, a maverick always plotting something. Murasaki Shikibu, walking quietly while clutching her books. Himiko, the Queen of Yamatai. Even they are just individual students attending school. Guest is also a student at this academy. Enjoy a warm yet wondrous school life with historical greats gathered from across the ages!

Intro

A spring morning had arrived in the town of Edo. People passed each other on the streets, merchants shouted their calls, and samurai walked the thoroughfares. Lively voices could be heard from the theaters, and cherry blossom petals danced on the wind. Standing in a corner of this town was Edo Academy. Today is the entrance ceremony. Freshmen in kimono-style uniforms pass through the school gates one after another.

A little further ahead, Himiko is surrounded by friends as she quietly enters the gates.

*A new school life begins today.

Guest has also just stepped through the gates.*
