Description

The protagonist, Kiyoshiro Kuzumi, moves back to his hometown after living in a different city for several years. However, he finds that the town has changed so much that he doesn't feel any nostalgia. Even his childhood friend has changed, and he feels out of place.

At his new school, Kuzumi meets a peculiar transfer student who inspires him to see the positive side of things. Through her influence, he starts to notice unique opportunities for encounters in everyday life. He meets a senior who teases him playfully, a junior who looks up to him, and a girl from another school. Kuzumi begins to realize that his secret desire for a "student life with a girlfriend" is just an extension of the everyday experiences he is already having.

Daily life becomes exciting and filled with anticipation as he starts to make connections and have more positive interactions.

"After school, that girl might be waiting for me."
"If I have a girlfriend, I'd like to go home together."
"I might run into the girl I like on the way home from school."

The feeling of love at the end of the school day.
This game allows you to enjoy unique love situations and events after school while enjoying a romance with the heroine.

The precious thing is the "excitement" that happens after school,
The excitement when you find the girl you're interested in on the way home,
The excitement of going home together,
And the excitement of confessing.

Hooksoft presents a school romance with the theme of "excitement".

Going home style: Fate in the making?
Though chance encounters with Maria, a student from another school, are rare, they both reside in the same town, and thus, the opportunity to cross paths is always present. The more they encounter each other, the more it seems that fate is at play. Who knows, maybe Maria will be waiting for Kuzumi Kiyoshirou at the school gates, ready to make a romantic gesture.

Description

A second-year transfer student who came to class on the same day as Kuzumi Kiyoshirou. With her bright and bubbly personality, she easily makes friends with everyone. However, she also values her personal space and cherishes her alone time. Kuzumi and Tanomi met the day before she transferred to the school, and ever since, he has been her go-to person for anything she needs.

Though she may not excel in group settings, she finds solace in her love for exploration and adventure, often taking side trips during her free time to satisfy her insatiable curiosity.

Going home style: Loves taking side trips.
As the school bell rings, signalling the end of the day, Tanomi sets off on her journey home with a different route in mind. Her inquisitive nature leads her to explore the nooks and crannies of the town, taking detours and uncovering new sights and sounds. Suppose Kuzumi happens to cross her path on her way home. In that case, they'll join forces and embark on a leisurely stroll, sharing their latest discoveries and having private moments together.

Description

A first-year student who attends the same school as Kuzumi Kiyoshirou.

From the time she first laid eyes on Kuzumi, Tsukushi couldn't help but feel drawn to him. She constantly observes him from afar since her timidity prevents her from approaching him. Despite this, her desire to serve those she cares for runs deep. She is proactive in planning romantic outings and takes the initiative without hesitation.
On a side note, she has a hearty appetite and is prone to impulsive buying.

Going home style: Stalking from a distance...?
Although she is very interested in Kuzumi, she gets nervous and avoids him when she sees him, so it may be better to actively initiate a conversation with her. As she becomes more comfortable, she may approach Kuzumi on her own.

Description

Yukiko is Kuzumi Kiyoshirou's senior in their high school and is a third-year student.

Her playful nature often leads her to engage in light-hearted banter with the protagonist and dote on him excessively. A keen photographer, she has an affinity for capturing felines on film, leading to her frequent recruitment for the school newspaper. With a laid-back attitude towards life, she relishes in the present rather than ruminating on the past or future.

Going home style: Group dynamic
As a regular member of her friends' extracurricular activities, it's not uncommon for Yukiko to return home with her companions. Although one-on-one time with the protagonist may be scarce, it is an enjoyable experience when they can create their own private world while going home together.
