School Days

Synopsis

School Days focuses on the life of Makoto Itou, living with his divorced and unseen (but heard) mother in the fictional city of Haramihama. During his second term, he begins to take notice of Kotonoha Katsura, who takes the same train as him. After the rearrangement of his homeroom seating, he's acquainted with Sekai Saionji. It is after Sekai plays matchmaker for him and Kotonoha that his life begins to change. Sekai befriends the two and provides them with a private spot to meet and have lunch. Despite her triumphant efforts, Sekai develops her own feelings for Makoto and kisses him at a train station. Over the course of his relationship with Kotonoha and Sekai, Makoto is acquainted with a handful of other people, including Setsuna Kiyoura, a habitually reserved member of the student council and Sekai's lifelong friend, as well as Hikari and Nanami, Sekai and Setsuna's friends. Of the people Makoto knows, two other friends make frequent appearances. The first is Taisuke Sawanaga, Makoto's eccentric best friend, and Otome Katou, a former middle school classmate. Many characters from 0verflow's previous visual novels either appear or are mentioned since School Days takes place in the same universe.
