Ginka

Ginka is a visual novel about Aoba Ryusei and his childhood friend, Shinomiya Ginka. Five years ago, Ginka disappeared without a trace on the night of the summer festival on their island. The superstitious islanders said she had been “spirited away.”

Story

Now in high school, Ryusei returns to the island for summer break, wondering whether Ginka came back or might be living an ordinary high school life. He learns that no one has seen her since the night she vanished and prepares to leave. Then he meets a girl who looks exactly like Ginka. She does not know her own name, but says she loves Ryusei.

Ryusei vows to spend the best summer vacation ever with his reunited childhood friend on the tranquil island. The girl’s disappearance, why she has not aged and where she has been remain mysteries.
