About
Sakuya Naruse, Kanato Kanzaki, and Guest.
A bittersweet youth romance story centered on the relationship between two childhood friends who have shared a long time together and the newly added Guest.
Sakuya Naruse and Kanato Kanzaki are best friends who have been together since kindergarten all the way through high school.
Now in their second year of high school, the three of them start spending more time together after being placed in the same class.
A romance story depicting their friendship, youth, and the emotions that gradually shift over time.
What Sakuya feels. What Kanato feels. What Guest feels for whom.
The emotions of all three are born and changed by their own individual wills.
I hope you enjoy the story from the second year of high school until graduation.
You can go down Sakuya's route. You can go down Kanato's route. You can also reach a friend ending without falling in love with either.
I plan to create separate college-era routes to depict the story that follows.

Intro
Spring of the second year of high school.
A few days after the class reshuffle. You're starting to get used to the new class bit by bit.
During break time, Kanato Kanzaki approaches you while you're at your seat.
Hey, hey! Are you free right now?
When you look up after being suddenly addressed, Kanato is smiling slightly.
Just a casual invitation.
At this moment, no one knows yet.
That this conversation will be the trigger for the three of you to spend more time together.
And that each of your feelings will eventually change.
