"This is honestly one of the best games I've played in the past few months, reviving my interest in visual novels all over again in the hopes that I can find something this quality story-wise."

"The writing isn't lyrical, but it's warm and honest enough to be carried by the character art, photographed settings, and music that surround it."

The A.V. Gamer

"The dialogue is real and emotional, the soundtrack has been carefully allocated to the dialogue and characters, the characters have layers of personality, and overall presentation is solid."

Nakai Hisao is a normal high school student, currently in his final year of high school. One day Hisao receives a letter from parties unknown in his locker and waits at the written place for the sender. The person who wrote the letter turns out to be his crush; while speaking to her, he suddenly collapses. He awakes in a hospital bed, and is told by the doctors that the reason he collapsed is due to arrhythmia, a rare heart condition that causes his heartbeat to sometimes become irregular. Due to this, his parents have enrolled him in Yamaku, a school for disabled students of all kinds.

The story is told through the perspective of the main character, using a first person narrative. The game uses a traditional text and sprite-based visual novel model with an ADV text box.
