Amane Switch

Amane Switch is a visual novel remake for international audiences, with a story about rain, yandere characters and strange abnormalities. Shinji Mizushima leads an ordinary life, with average athletic and academic performance, until he meets Amane Satonaka, a mysterious new student at Shuei Academy.

Soon after Amane transfers to the school, Shinji sees her standing in the rain without an umbrella, humming a melancholic melody. Captivated by her appearance, he watches until he realizes she is about to collapse and catches her in his arms. He does not yet know that the encounter will change his life.

The students of Shuei Academy

Amane has joined Class 2-C. Introverted and sometimes mysterious, she often finds herself alone and never uses an umbrella, even when it rains. Shinji’s former girlfriend is an outgoing, cheerful student in Class 2-A who is popular with both boys and girls. She is good at caring for others and still has feelings for Shinji, despite their breakup.

Izumi Kizaki is a friendly, serious third-year student and the school’s student council president. She loves her younger sister Shizuku more than anything. Shizuku is a shy first-year student and drama club member who is kind and cheerful with people she knows well. She loves Izumi but worries about being compared with her seemingly perfect older sister. Shinji’s older cousin attends the Faculty of Education at Shuei Academy University. Since Shinji lost his father as a child, she has doted on him and often visits to look after him; she is kind, generous and motherly.

Remake and voice cast

The remake revises a scenario originally intended for adults and adds new scenarios for a wider audience. It also revamps the graphics and other aspects of the game, and presents the visual novel with a fully voiced scenario and a new cast. New voiceovers include Shinji, the protagonist, voiced by VTuber Kyoko Kuramochi of the Stellar Cycle Campus VTuber group.
