About the card game

The games time scale is from July to September.

It is summer. your character is a senior college student.
You will have many encounters with women including a childhood friend called Mikae Morikawa...
The various settings (college, town, beach, etc) will be where you may meet other characters and may develop relationships with them. This game is a relationship simulation.
The aim of the game is to find a compatible partner and propose to her, but that does not mean they will be your friend or lover easily.

You must get fit, study, be artistic, etc... If you develop yourself, the girls will come to accept you.

By setting the main characters daily functions, the character will go through the day automatically.
 (This is the simulation side of the game.)
Many things will happen and depending on the characters reaction, the story line will change.
(You may get other choices too, select carefully or things will happen.)

And depending on that days actions, the characters performance levels are determined, leading to the change and development of the character.

The story line will change according to the characters development and the girls attitude will also change according to the character.
To have a happy ending, depends on you. We hope you enjoy an exciting student life.

We wish you all the luck...
