another PC (Windows) version was released which included both PS2 extra
stories and adult content from the original release.

himself living with a girl of same age, Mai, who wondered on his doorstep one
cold winter. Appearing to be an orphan, Kyouichi’s father adopts her and now
both Kyouichi and Mai have to find a way to live together. Kyouichi, who was
just a mediocre day-to-day student wasn’t that popular, once Mai starts going
to the same school and gets assigned to his class, suddenly gains popularity
among the girls as they start noticing him thanks to his new company.
The game is a typical visual novel which feature static character artwork with
occasionally animated emoticons that depict characters’ disposition. Voice-
acting is present for both heroines and male characters, with exception to the
protagonist. Occasional choices during conversations branch or otherwise
affect the story, and sometimes you can select a character you wish to talk to
from the locations available on the map of the school campus. Bonus features
include unlockable character artwork and CG events, as well as BGM player
which is full unlocked from the start.
