Kanade

Kanade is a visual novel about Yuuto and Kanade, two former pen pals who begin to fall in love as the world approaches its end. In the near future, a sudden spread of plants has left much of human civilization overgrown. Yuuto lives in a city reclaimed by nature, and Kanade appears at his doorstep after finding one of his carrier pigeons and beginning to exchange letters with him.

Kanade is a half-human, half-alien girl who loves to sing. She hopes to save the world through song in place of her absent alien mother. Honest, kind-hearted and polite, she gives her all to everything she does, though her unfamiliarity with Earth can surprise those around her. She asks Yuuto to fall in love with her so she can sing the greatest love song and save the world. Warmly watched over by those around them, the two tentatively explore love, unaware that affection has already begun to grow between them.
