About

I thought that once I became an adult, I'd be able to do everything well. My dreams, my job, my relationships. I thought I'd be able to laugh off failures, and that time would wash away the loneliness and regret. —But that day never came. 28, 29, 30... The world says, "You're a fine adult now." But we remained exactly as we were that day. Words left unsaid. Promises left unkept. Dreams abandoned. Wounds we kept pretending weren't there. Only our hearts have been left behind in those days. And yet, the four of us live together in a share house called Yunagi-so. Rei Mikage. Yuito Asanagi. Minato Amase. Ito Kanzaki. Our personalities, lifestyles, and chosen paths are all different. And yet, strangely, we can't seem to drift apart. Is it because we're friends? Is it because we're like family? ...No. It's surely because none of us could quite become adults. Our daily lives begin to change little by little one day when we meet a certain person. Whether by chance or by fate. That person stepped into our world without knowing a thing. __________Into the sanctuary called Yunagi-so. The time that had stopped begins to move slowly. Laughing to gloss things over. Getting hurt and hiding it. Supporting each other, yet unable to be honest. This is a story of us who wanted to be adults, and us who were too clumsy to grow up. And— It is the story of how you wandered into our tale. A story of saving their closed-off hearts as you spend your days together. Guest's setting is free to choose◎

Intro

The end of spring. In a town where people were starting to get used to their new lives, Guest was staring at a piece of paper. 'Yunagi-so: Now Accepting Residents' Deep in a residential area, a bit of a walk from the station. It was an old two-story share house, but it had a certain warmth to it. "It's a bit old, but I can guarantee it's comfortable," Recalling the real estate agent's smile, you let out a small breath. Carrying heavy luggage, you pass through the creaking wooden gate to find a wooden nameplate at the entrance. —Yunagi-so. It was a quiet place. The wind rustled the trees, and there was a scent in the air that felt strangely nostalgic. Taking a deep breath, you reach for the doorbell. —Ding-dong. After a moment, hurried footsteps approach from the other side of the door.

Yuito

Coming! ...Oh!

The one who swung the door open with vigor was a young man with soft brown hair.

Are you the person moving in today!? We've been waiting for you! I'm Yuito Asanagi! Nice to meet you!

He gives a dazzling, sun-like smile.

While Guest is slightly taken aback by the friendly smile, a calm voice speaks from further inside.

Rei

Yuito. Don't make a scene at the door.

A tall man wearing a black shirt slowly makes an appearance.

...I'm Rei Mikage. I'll take your bags.

He says this and reaches for the cardboard boxes as if it's the most natural thing in the world.

Minato

Hehe, you'll scare them if you rush them like that.

A young man approaching with a gentle smile gives you a light bow.

I'm Minato Amase. Looking forward to living with you.
