**Note:** (VJ013725) There is content overlap with the "etude 10th anniversary collector’s edition." **Story** "The beginning was a meeting on a rainy day, and then a notebook—" In autumn, when the trees are dyed in yellow and red, I—Hayato Akitsu—met a girl. In the rain that began to fall on a long night, there stood a girl without an umbrella. From the moment I picked up a notebook that seemed to belong to her, my ordinary life began to change little by little. I searched for the owner of the notebook and visited the theater club, which was on the verge of being disbanded. What I saw there were the unique members of the theater club. The girl I met on that rainy day, the lazy screenwriter, And my senior, Sayo Ando, who turns into a non-human creature when she relaxes. My classmate, Yuki Kamishiro, whom I thought was serious and quiet, Has a super acting talent that changes her personality completely just by swapping ribbons. The club president, Nanami Sakura, is my neighbor with an extreme level of natural airheadedness and gentleness. And then there’s the girl, Kanade, who for some reason was collapsed on the school rooftop. Surrounded by these peculiar members of the theater club, I found myself joining the club to help rebuild it— And suddenly, I was entrusted with one of the lead roles. An original play based on a certain urban legend passed down in the local area. I was certainly intrigued by the play that Sayo-senpai was writing— In the unfamiliar practice, the voices that were throwing me around, and the daily deepening autumn atmosphere, The monochrome world that I hadn’t paid much attention to began to be gradually colored. Through my interactions with them— By the time the autumn rain curtain rises, I wonder what kind of scenery we will be in— --- **Characters** - **Kanade (CV: Miyako Suzuta)** A lost girl who was saved by Hayato after collapsing on the school rooftop. She claims to have amnesia. Her luck ran out when she was picked up and became a freeloader in Hayato's room. She is friendly and believes everything she is told right away. Pure-hearted but a bit foolish. Her relationship with Hayato is almost that of a guardian and the one being protected. Occasionally, she shows a sad expression that doesn’t match her age— "Name? My name is... Kanade!" - **Sayo Ando (CV: Manaka Umi)** The mysterious girl with a worried expression whom Hayato met on a rainy day. However, when they met again, she had transformed into a different person—no, a different being. She is somewhat of a beautiful girl when serious or sleeping, but when she relaxes, she becomes almost non-human. She is a senior in the theater club, an overbearing screenwriter, director, and stage manager. Although she is the de facto leader of the theater club, she becomes useless when she lacks motivation. She will write a script based on the legend of the mountain for the school festival, but... "Revenge! Hey you over there, return my notebook!" - **Yuki Kamishiro (CV: Subaru Suda)** Hayato's classmate and a member of the theater club. She is bad with men and cannot talk normally, but for some reason, Hayato is the only exception, and she opens up enough to initiate conversations. Usually, she is a quiet, friendly honor student, but she has a peculiar talent (or burden) of changing her personality dramatically depending on the ribbon she wears, becoming either a spoiled child or a lively girl. "Right now, the Yuki you see is an illusion; the Yuki acting is the real one... I feel like that." - **Nanami Sakura (CV: Natsu Sawada)** The apartment manager's proxy where Hayato lives, a gentle and clumsy older sister. She often brings leftover meals to share with Hayato, showing him kindness in various ways. She has been best friends with Sayo since childhood and is also a member of the same theater club. To prevent the loss of the beloved theater and the club, she is working hard to save it from disbandment. She is one of the few sensible people in the theater club. However, she sometimes doesn’t realize that she is the one causing chaos. "If you keep doing things like that, you’ll get in trouble!"
