Nestled between the mountains and the ocean somewhere sits the harbor town of Inogo City, a prosperous place with an atmosphere of the exotic.
It is this city, watched over by the church at the summit of the highest mountain, where a boy and a girl first meet.
The boy’s name is Kirinokojima Tomoe. A lonely young man, who believes neither in love nor in happiness.
The girl’s name is Aine. One who sings of love to fill the world with happiness, who was born for that very purpose… an angel.
To anyone who saw him, Kirinokojima Tomoe would have seemed to lead a singularly boring life.
He didn’t even attempt to befriend others, nor did he have a girlfriend, unsurprisingly. He was involved in no hobbies or interests to speak of.
Waking in the morning only to go off to school, returning home only to sleep. An utterly ordinary, routine life, each day no different from the day before or after it.
But he was not in the least unhappy with his life. For him, a life of “nothing” was also one of “nothing to lose”.
Wish for something, and you would only end up getting hurt.
After all, he’d already sampled enough of the world’s bitterness for one lifetime.
Until, like a herald of the end of that tranquil existence, an angel appeared.
“Angels”. The protectors of human loves. The ones who spin the “red thread”, and those who play its melody.
“Love can never bring people happiness.”, said Tomoe.
“That’s not true at all! Falling in love makes your heart feel all light!”, Aine replied.
Tomoe, who soon found himself aiding the “acting angel” with whom he couldn’t see eye to eye on anything in her work, is is drawn alongside Aine into deep involvement with others’ romantic lives…
The many shapes of love, and the forms of happiness that pass before our eyes every day.
This is their journey to find the true meaning of happiness.
And at that journey’s end, his own reason for living on…

Suspicious... thx VNDB for make me not waste my time.
Im afraid to continue, are the other routes like this too, like no real Happy only bitter sweet ending??..=(
Both have a depressing pair of endings. But i suppose its up to the player to decide which of the two endings per character is the 'good' ending.
SPOILER
IMO Both of the Senpai endings are bad ends
Maybe the True end(Angel route) or the Kouhai have somewhat happy endings?.. Can you pls update me if ever you finished those two?.. that will be much appreciated.. =)
Without going into too much detail the 'lovers' kouhai ending is the only ending i found to have an actual ending with mutual feelings involved, and her 'break up' ending was actually the one i found that i preferred for her route.
The Angel ending on the other hand has some of the dumbest plot reveals i've ever seen in a VN, aside from that the ending isn't 'happy' per se, however it is very bittersweet and it didn't bother me personally that it ended the way it did.
TL;DR: if you want wholesome love stories and happy endings go somewhere else (I suggest the Majikoi Series ;P)
I should have skipped it,but you know (Curiousity).
nw I am gonna skip this one
I am already depressed enough
I dont want to read novels with unhappy endings
Don't get me wrong I don't really hate sad endings, but these are just well depressing. The story somehow stops progressing and burns out.
The whole story with the red strings and heart pieces also becomes more and more absurd.
I loved the dialogues in this one though, also liked the idea of struggling to find the best way to actually do something good for people.
Def one of the better VNs. But expect some disappointment.
Tell me how to do it.
First off let me say that I enjoyed actually having an intelligent protag for once in a VN. Yeah sure he's a bit of a stick in the mud, but better than being a total dumbass like every other VN out there.
As others have mentioned, good storyline but HOT DAMN those endings are random and dumb. Especially best girl (Naruko's) route, like WTF was actually happening near the end there?
After ALL THAT drama, 'Mr.Steal-yo-girl' is all like "Haha nah fam i'm just f*ckin with y'all." And everyone is just rolling with that lame/out of place confession that should've happened 10 days ago? Nope. I call bullshit. What was the point of all that other crap happening then? 3 people don't just 180 like that in 1 second.
Then it just gets worse from there, goddamn I need to grab another six pack before I continue this.
Thanks a lot btw. Keep up the good work.
This Game has 1 True Ending which Is kinda Sad so If you want a they lived happyly after This one Isnt for You
I like most of their games...
Kira Kira
Kira Kira - Curtain Call
Deardrops
Dai 2 Bungeibu Band VS Deardrops (Cross-Over Kira Kira & Deardrops)
Edelweiss
Edelweiss - Eiden Fantasia
Cho Dengeki Stryker (the only one I didn't loved... I sensible about thing about memory, amnesia, indentity etc... and, well, all the thing is about memory loss/taken away... and it's the kind of thing I hate... I have a great individuality and I empathize to much with character in it... it make me sad... but the story is great if you go through the memory things...)
Green Green (not played because I didn't found it T_T ==> but I saw the anime adaptation, Green Green TV)
But... From what I see in the comment, I hesitate to play it now... well... Sad thing is the thing of overdrive.
In Kira Kira, the good end of the main girl, she die. But live in the true end.
In Kira Kira - Curtain Call, the MC leave/abandon the girl he love.
In Edelweiss, the main girl die. And the MC search to "resurrect" her. (it's an magic/alchemic universe)
In Cho Dengeki Stryker... well... I don't want to talk about it...
In Green Green, the main girl is already dead from the start and came from "heaven" only to join the reincarnation of her beloved from another world... and she dissipated at the end... (in the anime... don't know for the VN)
Kind of lost my drive after the senpai route since i found that ending to be quite alright compared to the ones i read before.
But i really loved the dialogues in this. The story still sometimes felt absurdly cruel (not a fan when things are just bead because the story needs them to be bad) but not as over the top as it usually is in drama vns. I also loved the main character and the whole thing about love not being a cure it all. I would have loved to see a bit more focus on the positive side of love and every thing else though.
Then your fucking chad of a best friend sees his opening and tries to smash her at a love hotel, only for MC to stop them before they walk in and tell that ugly douche to fuck off.
So no, there's no cheating whatsoever. Although almost all endings are shit, stuff like breaking up after a quickie, or dumping your girl in the end. So unless you're the kinda guy that likes to masturbate with his tears, I would avoid this.
This vn doesn't have happy ending that involves mc and heroin life happy after with new to me but it doesn't mean all ending are bad ,it just unsatisfied but the True route ending really is good to me .
So overall this vn not for all but if you're ok with depressing stuff than give it a try.
Btw ost is amazing
