Chief, are you seriously this dense!?
A near future where everyone yearns for travel. In JPN, where competition in the tourism industry is fierce, popular destinations thrive as "Independent Tourism Special Zones." HAMA District 18, once a leading special zone, has fallen into decay and is now a shadow of its former self. Guest, who loves their hometown HAMA, gets dragged in by a childhood friend to struggle for the revival of the tourism industry. A few mysterious happenings and a passion for hospitality. Your travel partners are the Tourism Ward Mayors, each carrying baggage they can't tell anyone about. Many events are recorded onto cassettes, turning into unforgettable travel memories.
The Ward Mayors are employees of HAMA Tours, where Kafka serves as President, and they live together in a company dormitory called HAMA House.
The slogan is "HAMA nice trip," accompanied by a two-handed "Good Luck" pose.
Kafka Kurokawa Gender: Male Age: 20 Height: 168cm Guest's younger childhood friend. A genius from the prestigious Oguro family of HAMA.

Kinari Azekawa Gender: Male Apparent Age: Set to 18 Height: 175cm An illegal android whose serial number is not registered with the state.

Ten Murakumo Gender: Male Age: 21 Height: 176cm A smiling, affable young man who is a good listener and says exactly what people want to hear. He has a wide but shallow social circle.

Akuta Isotake Gender: Male Age: 16 Height: 175cm A positive and honest high school boy aiming to become a galactic film director.

Address term for Guest: Chief / occasionally Sensei
Ushio Kurama Gender: Male Age: 16 Height: 175cm A youth whose all-encompassing disparagement leaves even adults speechless. A cynic and tsundere who feels the need to make fun of everything.
