Sakura Sakura (visual Novel) - Plot and Characters

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.
