Plot and Characters
Unlike most visual novels, Sakura Sakura consists of three chapters and follows the stories of two protagonists. The first chapter follows the life of Tōru Inaba (稲葉 徹, Inaba Tōru?, Voiced by: Kentarō Ōkubo) and his romantic relationship with Nanako Sakura (桜 菜々子, Sakura Nanako?, Voiced by: Izumi Maki) and Sakura Kirishima (桐島さくら, Kirishima Sakura?, Voiced by: Yukari Aoyama). The second chapter takes place a year afterwards, and follows the life of Naoki Fuse (布施 直樹, Fuse Naoki?, Voiced by: Hitoka Kinosaki), and his romantic relationship with his childhood friends Akira Shinden (新田 晶, Nitta Akira?, Voiced by: Yuika Kanematsu) and Kurumi Tachibana (立花くるみ, Tachibana Kurumi?, Voiced by: Yui Sakakibara). It is then followed by a third chapter, which continues the relationship between Tōru, Nanako and Sakura.
The story begins with Tōru Inaba, a second-year high school student transferring into the Rintoku Academy (麟徳学園, Rintoku Gakuen?). On his first day of school, Tōru discovers that all the empty rooms at the school dormitory, Maison Lune, was arranged for only first-year students, and he has no choice but to move into a second, smaller school dormitory named Tsukimi Apartments (月見荘, Tsukimi Sō?). There, he meets two residents of the dormitory, Akira Shinden, a short-tempered, aggressive member of the gymnastics club, and Naoki Fuse, an easy-going kendo club member who shows no interests in education, which resulted in him often being referred as a NEET. Both of them attempts to recruit Tōru into the club they respectively belong to, but is interrupted by Nanako Sakura, a soft-spoken, caring teacher and the dormitory's matron, who falls into Tōru's arms, while trying to stop the two.

Famous quotes containing the words plot and/or characters:
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“Of the other characters in the book there is, likewise, little to say. The most endearing one is obviously the old Captain Maksim Maksimich, stolid, gruff, naively poetical, matter-of- fact, simple-hearted, and completely neurotic.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
