Story
Yuji Kazami saved the hearts of five girls at Mihama Academy. However, the shadow of his heart was not cleared, and it was still heavy and ominous.
Yuji looks back on his personal history. What nurtured him, and what shapes him the way it does. And, among all the rendezvous along the way, what he has gained and what he has lost --
At the end of the journey that traverses through loathsome yet irreplaceable time, Yuji confronts the true identity of the shadows that he had shelved away in the deepest recesses of his own heart.

Kazuki Kazami
VA:Akane Tomonaga Yuji Kazami's older sister. She used to have brilliant brains and plentiful talents to fit the title of "genius", but has lost her life in the "Takizono Academy micro-bus falling accident". She has showed excessive affection to her younger brother Yuji.
Heath Oslo
VA: A mysterious man that has many "faces" including that of an art vendor. He is the one that became Yuji's guardian once he lost his entire family, so he could be considered the foster father. Behind the facade, a truly ominous intent was hidden.
Asako Kusakabe
VA:Kei Mizusawa A sniper with amazing skill, with her codename being the legendary number "9029". Became Yuji's guardian thanks to a certain incident and acts as foster parent, but passed away several years ago. For Yuji, she is a grand figure that is his master, his mother, and something like a lover.
Yuria Harudera (JB)
