Kotori and her routes

Kotori is purposeful and used to achieving her goals. At college, she meets Eri Kirishima, an 18-year-old freshman who loves video games, has a bad temper and struggles to get along with people. Their first conversation goes poorly, but Kotori soon finds Eri interesting and pretty. Eri’s childhood friend, Izumi, is strongly opposed to Kotori pursuing her.

Kotori also encounters Yukino Akigawa, a cheerful, self-confident 20-year-old junior who presides over the anime and manga club and gets along with the other students. Yukino is interested in Kotori from their first meeting and tries to attract her attention. She wears overhead ears.

Aika Kashinawa, Kotori’s 20-year-old sister, is kind and intelligent, and enjoys manga and juice. Kotori was secretly in love with Aika when they were young and believed the feelings might be mutual, but circumstances separated them before they could understand each other. Now they meet again, and Kotori must face whether those feelings might return or remain in the past.
