OP: 「Day by Day」 by 緑川光

Characters


Adachi Ryou
Age: 21 years old

Ryou is the main character(MC)'s childhood friend. He's a third year and popular at the university too. The son of a large company, 「シルグラッゼ」, which produce sweets and cakes. To him, the main character is no good by herself when he's not around to take care for her, as he always takes care of her since childhood times. He's good at cooking and baking. Even at his young age he already has a role in the family business. His parents are also the one who owns Okashi no Ie (literally means Sweets House), the place where the characters live.


Todoroki Keigo
Age: ?? years old (find it out yourself in the game XD; )

Keigo is a manga-ka who we assisted, who had his first debut when he's 20 years old. When he first appeared (as in seeing his face), he's chasing up a deadline and looks so scary XD;;;
He's unexpectedly quite childish, like how he didn't like to be left alone in the crowd, even if it's an award party for his manga he prefers to stay at home rather than go there alone. One of his manga, Momoko Sengenchou, is made into anime and will be mentioned a few times in this game.


Hattori Hibiki
Age: 21 years old

Hibiki is a 21-years-old illustrator, famous doujin-ka and also one hell of womanizer >_>;
When we first met him, he made two date plans on the same day, right in front of MC... Ren said that Hibiki is so dense when it comes to girl's feelings.
BTW HIBIKI LOOKS LIKE HIRUMA AT THE OP WHUT 8D


Castis Kyouichi
Age: 17 years old

Kyouichi is a half-American talent who got a seiyuu role in the anime adapted from Todoroki's manga. His dream is to become a seiyuu and he really loves to read manga.
He also can't eat anything without ketchup sauce, and once got into an argument with Ryou because he wanted to use ketchup on tempura. He's really happy to be chosen as Ryuusei's seiyuu for Momoko Sengenchou anime. Kyouichi is close to Hibiki, as he usually bothered the red head when he want some more manga.


Kanzaki Koujiro
Age: 26 years old

Kojiro is the editor from Kanaria magazine who's in charge of Keigo and MC.
And LOL at the sadistic label *points at picture*
He's weak to all alcohols other than wine. Yes, he would passed out even if he only had a can of beer. He unexpectedly quite a sportsman, had playing basketball from junior high to senior high. He still practicing his shots sometimes.


Suzuoka Ren
Age: 20 years old

Another childhood friend of MC. Ren is famous of her image of a Prince. Ren consider MC precious yet she loves to tease her too. She also loves motorbikes and sweet treats. Ren also lives up to her image of a prince, always helping out the main character whenever she needs a support and always prioritize her above anything else.

As for main character; Her real name is Kurihara Airi (can be changed by player) and she's a 19 years old manga-ka. Her dream to become a manga-ka was first sprouted when a manga-ka wanna-be cheered her up once when she and Ryou were lost when they were kids. Ever since then she still had the book and kept on dreaming to be a manga-ka. She's also the model for Momoko Sengenchou manga that Todoroki-sensei made. She's quite a klutz and has always been protected by Ryou and Ren.

The game play is simple (as long as you can at least understand japanese), as it's concentrating more on the romance with the male characters. So as long as you remember saving and get the right choice, it's easy to get through this game. There will be roughly 7-8 chapters in the game, where we will get closer to each of the characters first then went through the climax and ending chapter. You can save date each time you're about to begin a new chapter or when you're about to begin the mini games in [Comic Mode].
Since it's about becoming a manga-ka, there will be some mini games: rough sketching, panelling (I found this the hardest), cleaning the paper, lineart, screentoning etc.

There's a system in this game that allowed the you to get into the versus storyline, where two characters will be trying to win MC's heart. The VS routes available are: Ryou VS Todoroki, Ryou VS Hibiki, Todoroki VS Kanzaki and Hibiki VS Kyoichi.

And for a note, we won't be able to go for Ren if we haven't clear the game once.
