In summer, love goes on endlessly — a story of love to overwrite the memories of each other's important people. "Love can easily turn someone into a liar." At Aonami First High School in a port town where the sea can be seen from a hill, second-year student Kaoru Tachibana experiences a devastating heartbreak one night with her former middle school teacher, Shinsetsu Shigure. Kaoru is seen by her classmate, the honor student Shiori Minagi, during this moment. Half out of desperation, Kaoru confides in Shiori about her past with Shigure. Shiori quietly listens and then asks with a serious tone, "Do you think you can overwrite the memories of an important person, Tachibana-san?" "I don't know if I can, but I think I have to." Then Shiori suddenly makes an unexpected request: "—Please help me forget my brother." This request is to overwrite her memories of her brother by visiting places filled with memories together. Having always tried to be like her excellent brother, Shiori realizes that when faced with her career path survey, she has lost the ability to decide for herself. "Sure, sounds good. So, what do we do?" Joining Shiori on her "Memory Tour" is also convenient for Kaoru, as she wants to forget her first love — her teacher. Their relationship is soon discovered by their classmate Riku Inohara, who has feelings for Shiori. A romantic story that is sometimes comical and sometimes bittersweet begins to unfold. Event CG Beautiful illustrations by Shiokouji move expressively in 2D animation. Character Introduction (1) Kaoru Tachibana CV: Makoto Koichi The protagonist of this story. A second-year student at Aonami First High School. She has an elusive personality but is fundamentally straightforward. Often says random things that leave others exasperated, and sometimes it’s hard to tell if she’s serious or joking due to her slightly air-headed nature. Her interests are half-hearted and span a wide range of shallow hobbies, including fashion, cosmetics, stuffed animals, and mobile games. Her feelings for her first love, Shinsetsu Shigure, are special to Kaoru. Therefore, she is often confessed to by both boys and girls at school but has never accepted any of those confessions, as she doesn’t even consider them. Shigure was Kaoru's homeroom teacher during middle school. Kaoru fell in love with her after a runaway incident in her third year. Although she initially cut off contact, she has continued a nameless relationship where they occasionally go on dates after reuniting in high school. Shiori Minagi CV: Manaka Ishiwami A second-year student at Aonami High School and Kaoru's classmate. She is a beautiful and academically excellent honor student. However, she has an invisible wall around her and always keeps her true feelings hidden. In front of her friend Riku, who has been a friend since middle school, she shows some absent-mindedness and stubbornness. Despite being in the same class as Kaoru, they hardly spoke until a certain event led them to start building a friendship, revealing unexpected sides of herself in front of Kaoru. She has been trying to become like her excellent brother, aiming for the same career path and mimicking what she likes about him. She firmly believes that "if I don't become like my brother, my life has no value," which is somewhat obsessive. She adores the character "Ushimotcha," and her eyes light up when talking about it. Riku Inohara CV: Konomi Fujimura A friend of Shiori since middle school and a second-year student at Aonami High School. She is shy and a lively punchline for everyone, often being tossed around by Kaoru and Shiori. However, she has an unusual love for donuts and transforms into a different person in front of them, losing her common sense. She excels in all sports and is a member of the swimming club. Although it’s not a powerhouse, she is dedicated to her club activities. While she doesn’t show it much, she is a hidden hard worker when it comes to studying and belongs to the top group academically. She feels confused about the close friendship that Kaoru and Shiori have developed and is always concerned about them. She has feelings for Shiori that go beyond friendship but has not been able to confess them for years. Shinsetsu Shigure CV: Eriko Matsui Kaoru's former homeroom teacher from middle school, who taught art. She appears to be a cool adult woman, but in reality, she has a carefree personality, loving alcohol and cigarettes (recently electronic ones). After Kaoru's runaway incident in her third year, she resigned from her position at the private middle and high school. After a blank period, she is currently teaching at an art studio run by an acquaintance. After reuniting in high school, Kaoru still calls her "Sensei," and they maintain a relationship that is more than friends but less than lovers. The story of the days when Shigure sheltered the runaway Kaoru is depicted in the prequel voice drama "Love, Falling" (available for free on YouTube), and the story of their reunion after Shigure resigned is depicted in the side story novel "The Reunion Was on a Clear Day" (included in the "Love, Falling" scenario book). Character Introduction (2) Hana Asahi CV: Noriko Shibasaki The homeroom teacher for Class 2-B, which includes Kaoru, Shiori, and Riku. Her subject is modern literature. She is in her third year at Aonami High School. Due to her somewhat gentle and easy-going personality, she has a close relationship with her students, to the point of being a bit teased. One of her goals is to be a proper teacher, and her desire to be relied on and consulted by her students often shows in her words and actions, which may also be a reason she gets teased. However, when she actually receives a consultation, she faces it sincerely and does her best, earning her trust from some students. She enjoys drinking and is not particularly weak but often miscalculates her pace. It seems she has some interactions with Shigure through alcohol. Koharu Tachibana CV: Tsugumi Makita Kaoru's mother. She has a bright and gentle personality. After giving birth, she resigned from her job but returned to work at another company when Kaoru entered elementary school. Although she often makes somewhat air-headed remarks, she has a strong core. She often finds herself exasperated with her husband Atsushi, who buys gadgets online the moment she looks away, but their marital relationship is good, and they often cook together on holidays. She seems to want to have a big dog someday, similar to her size. Atsushi Tachibana CV: Daisuke Keiura Kaoru's father, who works in the development department of an electronics manufacturer. His hobby is watching movies, and he has a large collection of DVDs and Blu-rays at home. Collecting gadgets is also one of his hobbies, and he frequently buys speakers and tablets without Koharu knowing. About 30% of the time, his secret purchases are discovered, but he seems to cleverly hide truly expensive ones. He has a tendency to be obsessive and makes curry from spices rather than using pre-made roux, but he doesn't receive particularly good reviews from Koharu. Naomasa Minagi CV: Hiroshi Watanabe Shiori's father. He works at a local bank. He is diligent and often away from home on weekends and holidays for work-related matters. Because of this, he doesn’t have any particular hobbies, yet he is above average at golf and fishing. He is also focused on Shiori's education and closely checks her scores on regular tests and mock exams.
