◆Story
Spring of the second year in highschool.
Our heroine, Chika, has a twin sister with a totally different appearance and personality as hers.
Chika was the more popular one among girls, as opposed to her sister Karen, who was popular with the boys.
School life spent with upper classmen you're attracted to, classmates you fancy, and under classmen you know from childhood.
Longing for a boyfriend who has eyes set only on her, the one she chooses to declare her love to is…….

◆Character
Chika Nakamura
A highschool student in her second year.
Very capable in communicating with people, she has numerous friends among the guys. She's keen and likes to take care of others. She's popular among her female friends.
She resents the fact that she's often compared to her younger sister, and as a result she now keeps a cool distance to her sister.

Karen Nakamura
The heroine's younger twin sister.
Graceful, ladylike, and gentle. She's calm and quiet, but smiles a lot to those she's close to.
She loves her older sister dearly, but is often disturbed by the fact that her older sister keeps her distance from her.

Soshi Kujo
A classmate of the heroine, in highschool.
Intelligent, gentle and calm, he's a model student. A member of the Japanese archery club, he looks after his friends and clubmates.
Having got an older brother who's skilled and perfect in everything he does, he tends to sympathize more with the heroine's sister, Karen.

Kotaro Kurumi
A second year student in the heroine's highschool.
Despite his cute looks, he's got an impulsive nature and is hot-headed. He tends to react instinctively with physical force.
He can't stand self-centered girls and openly states he's not all that interested in romance with girls to begin with.

Reo Takatsuki
A third year highschool student, one year above the heroine.
Captain of the boy's tennis club. He comes from a reputable family, is intelligent, and excels in sports. He's the most popular student in school.
Extremly sensitive to subtle female emotions, his relationships with girls never last long because he can always sense that girls always want something in return.

Masaki Kirigaya
A childhood friend of the heroine and her sister in the first year of highschool, one year below the heroine.

### 3/5 — Um..

*2022-11-20, version 1.0.0*

I thought there was supposed to be more options to choose like they wouldn’t choose for you I don’t know if I played it a certain way to get the blue hair guy route but I was hoping for the yellow hair guy but the mc didn’t even speak to them according to the storyline so I’m mainly confused.

### 2/5 — Omg

*2022-08-16, version 1.0.0*
