◆Characters
Asuka Adachi
A shy honor student.
Good at studying but not great with people, she was always alone until she met Akane and the others who opened up a new world for her.
She speaks politely and is a bit timid, but gradually warms up and smiles more often.

Akane Hidaka
A caring and proactive, bright, and outgoing gal.
She supports Rui and Asuka from behind the scenes, but she can be a little awkward when it comes to herself.
Sometimes she overthinks things about Asuka and ends up going in circles, but her straightforward personality is part of her charm.

Midori Tomiyama
Akane's longtime friend who looks even more like a gal than Akane, but is actually very sensible and considerate inside.
She's such a skilled shooter in the carnival game that she got banned from participating.
Though her first impression can be tough, she’s actually very kind and acts as a reliable big sister figure supporting Asuka’s growth.

Rui Izumi
An ordinary male student. Nothing particularly special, but a kind hearted protagonist.
He gets caught up in the complicated relationships of the girls around him, but learns what it means to care for others in his own way.
He can be easily swayed, but when it counts, he’s the one you can count on.
