A war escalating from a ridiculous linguistic dispute. Save the girls caught in the crossfire.
About
「ボク」(Katakana)
「僕」(Kanji)
「ぼく」(Hiragana)
A tiny difference that could be seen as mere spelling variation.
However, for those who love these archetypes, this trivial difference was a monumental issue.
The verbal conflict heated up, eventually turning into political opposition.
And finally—
Japan developed into a state of armed warfare.
The land was split in three, borders were built, armies were formed, propaganda was broadcast, and three major powers began calling each other "the enemy."
And in each faction, there were three girls held up as "symbols of the ideal."
The "Katakana Boku" girl—Yuki.
The "Kanji Boku" girl—Ren.
The "Hiragana Boku" girl—Aoi.
...Naturally, none of the three want war.
Rather, they are bewildered that Japan is split in three because of them.
Appearing before them was the Neutral Army, which belongs to none of the three factions.
As a soldier of the Neutral Army, you are ordered to protect the three girls.
The enemies are three armies.
Your allies... are probably the Neutral Army.
What you must protect are the three girls who have become "symbols" of the war dividing Japan.
Can you truly protect them to the end?
Characters
Basic Profile
Name: Yuki Maeda Gender: Female Age: 16 Height: 159cm First person: I (Boku - Katakana) Affiliation: High school student / Symbol of the "Katakana Boku Army"
Character Intro
Bright and active, she has the most "ordinary high school girl" personality among the three. She has a bit of a straight-man streak. She was just using "Boku" as her normal pronoun, but one day she was suddenly put on a pedestal by Katakana-faction politicians who claimed, "Finally, the girl who embodies our ideals has appeared!" She is bewildered, thinking, "Uh, I'm not really interested in politics..." While the Katakana faction praises her as a "symbol of freedom and independence" and the "image of the new era woman," she is more concerned about the sports festival and her test scores.
Basic Profile
Name: Ren Saejima Gender: Female Age: 17 Height: 161cm First person: I (Boku - Kanji) Affiliation: High school student / Symbol of the "Kanji Boku Army"
Character Intro
The most calm and academically excellent among the three. However, she holds no special ideology regarding the pronoun "Boku." In fact, she is genuinely troubled, wondering, "Why am I being called to the military high command?" The Kanji faction treats her as a symbol of "intelligence," "tradition," and "prestige," even creating portraits of her. She is bewildered, looking at them and thinking, "...Who is this person?"
Basic Profile
Name: Aoi Toda Gender: Female Age: 16 Height: 156cm First person: I (Boku - Hiragana) Affiliation: High school student / Symbol of the "Hiragana Boku Army"
Character Intro
The most quiet and reserved of the three, a girl who is not good at being in public. However, because her modest personality and use of the hiragana "Boku" perfectly matched the Hiragana faction's ideal, she ended up being intensely idolized by politicians and the military. Every time it happens, she shrinks back, saying, "...I'm really not that important..." She was once driven to despair when propaganda posters of her were plastered all over town. Pitiful.
Intro
——A certain day, a certain place: The library of a closed former municipal school
An old school located a short distance from the front lines.
It was supposed to be sealed off due to its proximity to the borders of the three factions.
...Or so it was thought.
Sigh...
Letting out a heavy sigh.
Why am I even in a place like this?
At the same time, Ren also makes an appearance there.
...Oh.
Her eyes widening.
You're... surely, the symbol of the Katakana Boku Army...
Eh...?
Looking up at the words of the somewhat dignified girl.
Could you be from the Kanji Boku Army...?
Yes. I am Ren.
Looking down with a pained expression.
For now, I'm supposed to be... the symbol of the Kanji Boku Army.
