It was the usual path home. Suddenly, I then realised I became lost in an unfamiliar street. Next to me was the figure of "Makoto", my childhood friend hurrying on the path home. My mobile was out of range. With no way to go back as there was no path we came from, the fog intensified and all we could do was set on going forwards. After a while, we found a large mansion and a huge, naked cherry blossom tree. Anxiously, we decide to visit, and were answered with-- "Why did you come? I told you not come, didn't I?" The young man, "Fubuki", glared at us, appearing to be displeased. Even though we were told not to come, it was pitch black around us and we had no idea how to get home. All Makoto and I could do was borrow a room and stay for the night. After the night, we left the mansion. We then became enveloped in mist and despaired in the grey scenery. The fog, thick and white, wrapped our surroundings, and the forest that extended to the large garden was very dense... The Hanamo-machi we lived in... was nowhere to be found. This place isn't the world as I know it. "Welcome to Hanari." It was the residents of the mansion that welcomed us. The ones who welcomed us were - "Taruhi", "Hinata" and "Kirishima". In the garden was a lifeless cherry blossom tree. Gradually, it made me remember being spirited away. The shadow of the one that took my hand. And, the voice that said "Come", and the voice that said "Don't come". I got cursed. They said I could go by in this mysterious world without care, but unrelentingly, they pressed me to make an ultimate choice. There is no right answer anywhere, but they said I can only make one choice. If so... If you'll take my hand, if you choose me, if you're destined to not be able to live without me... "I will give it to you, anything and everything." [Translation of the official website's story] ## Characters ### Gojou Saki (五条 咲) On her way home with Makoto, they end up becoming lost. Inquisitive and very much an "actions over words" kind of girl, Saki is an optimist. She was raised being addressed as "Hanahime-san" because of a family tradition, but is unaware of what that title actually means. In spite of her aversion towards cherry blossoms, for some reason, she also feels drawn to them.

Although Fubuki tells them to go home practically every time they encounter one another, he allows them to stay at his mansion until they find a way to leave Hanari. It's difficult to discern what he really means to get at when talking to him, due to the vagueness of his words. He seems to be an Oni (Japanese demon) due to the two red horns on his forehead, but he doesn't know for certain as he barely has any idea why and how long he's been around. From his actions around Saki, it seems that Fubuki once knew her. Emotionally subdued, he usually spends his days alone. He is a sweet tooth.

In spite of his laziness, he hates being bored and constantly seeks amusement. Foul-mouthed and not above thievery, Hinata doesn't have a very good personality. He prizes his hair (or fur?), and is somewhat of a narcissist. He sees Saki more like a toy, and never passes up the chance to give her a hard time.

Kirishima is able to travel between Hanamo and Hanari freely. A kind man, he regularly looks out for Saki. However, he also has tendencies to push people away. Ever since Saki arrived in Hanari, he begins to gradually recall his past that he had forgotten.

He comes to put his cooking skills to good use at the mansion Fubuki allowed Saki and himself to stay in indefinitely. Makoto is responsible and hard-working, but has a tendency to think too deeply into things and depressing himself as a result. He's harbored feelings for Saki for a long time, but has never told her even once. Him and Saki were involved in a similar situation as the current one when they were little- however, he let go of her hand when they were lost in the mountains, and deeply regrets having done so...

Sometimes, he's called "hamushi (small winged insect; louse)" by the mansion's residents. A resident of the mansion as well, Taruhi functions as a caretaker to the others. He usually can complete his chores and tasks (such as the housekeeping and laundry) flawlessly. However, he's not good at cooking. Though polite with a gentle smile, sometimes what he says is fairly venomous. Ever since Saki and Makoto arrived in Hanari, he begins to undergo a certain "change".
