## Description
The protagonist, Kiyoshiro Kuzumi, moves back to his hometown after living in a different city for several years. However, he finds that the town has changed so much that he doesn't feel any nostalgia. Even his childhood friend has changed, and he feels out of place.

At his new school, Kuzumi meets a peculiar transfer student who inspires him to see the positive side of things. Through her influence, he starts to notice unique opportunities for encounters in everyday life. He meets a senior who teases him playfully, a junior who looks up to him, and a girl from another school. Kuzumi begins to realize that his secret desire for a "student life with a girlfriend" is just an extension of the everyday experiences he is already having.

Daily life becomes exciting and filled with anticipation as he starts to make connections and have more positive interactions.

"After school, that girl might be waiting for me."
"If I have a girlfriend, I'd like to go home together."
"I might run into the girl I like on the way home from school."

The feeling of love at the end of the school day. 
This game allows you to enjoy unique love situations and events after school while enjoying a romance with the heroine.

The precious thing is the "excitement" that happens after school,
The excitement when you find the girl you're interested in on the way home,
The excitement of going home together,
And the excitement of confessing.

Hooksoft presents a school romance with the theme of "excitement".
