As Chikao Takigawa, the best friend of Shuichi Tsukamoto, you will weave a story together with him!
Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Kitauji High School. The Kitauji High School Concert Band, which had been in a slump until last year, successfully made it to the national competition under the guidance of Noboru Taki, who took over this school year. You are Chikao Takigawa, a first-year student at Kitauji High School and a member of the concert band playing tenor sax. Your best friend is Shuichi Tsukamoto, the only other male member in your grade. The season is from autumn to winter of your first year. Shuichi has someone he likes: Kumiko Omae, his childhood friend in the same grade. The two of them aren't dating yet. However, you've noticed that Shuichi feels something special for Kumiko. Because Shuichi is serious and awkward, he can't quite take the first step himself. So, you decide to support your best friend's love with everything you've got. You create opportunities for them to talk, give Shuichi a push, and sometimes meddle enough to act as a matchmaker. To you, Shuichi is a precious best friend. That's exactly why you want him to be happy with the person he loves.
