Story / Setting

Seiou Gakuen, the school that protagonist Ren commutes to, is supposed to merge with the neighboring Shirahane Gakuen next year in the spring. The merge will happen around the same time as the marriage between the two directors of each school. Ren and student president Shiori are then called upon by Rin, the director of Seiou Gakuen, who also happens to be Ren’s brother. He wants to know and address the worries of students that are concerned about the merge.

With the help of Yukie, student president at Shirahane Gakuen, they begin an investigation among the students to compile a list of their worries. For example there’s one who’s worried about they might be forced to move out of the student dorms, and one who’s worried that some small clubs might be abolished. While other worries include issues, such as memories that are attached to their school, or even family related reasons…

They decide to help them out with their worries. Who knows what might happen next?
