Peter Says:

I've always been a huge fan of Ai Yori Aoshi, the story of Kaoru Hanabishi, who is betrothed to marry Aoi Sakuraba, the daughter of a wealthy family. This is a two-part game that takes you the story in fun new directions, featuring all the original voice actors, tons of animation, and even mini-games to enjoy!

One day, a beautiful kimono-clad young woman appears in front of college student Kaoru Hanabishi. Unbeknownst to him, the woman is Aoi Sakuraba, who has been his betrothed since they were children, an arranged marriage set up by their wealthy families. In the intervening years, Kaoru had cut ties to his family and its corporate group and cannot accept Aoi, but as he gets to know her, he's won over by her sense of devotion and her kind heart. Aoi sympathizes with Kaoru’s delicate plight and resolves to stay and live with him anyway. And so the young star-crossed lovers, both born with silver spoons in their mouths, start their new life together in Kaoru’s cramped apartment...

This is a dating-sim style interactive game for standard Windows computers. The game is an interactive anime game for Windows and presents dramatic interactive stories that everyone can enjoy. Features full-frame animation and fantastic artwork, and includes not one but two complete games, since you get the South Island Edition and Winter Lake Edition in this special boxes set. Suitable for ages 15 and up. A super title that all fans of bishoujo games should make sure not to miss! Also great for fans of cat girls.


Kaoru Hanabashi. Kaoru is a student at Meiritsu University. Since his childhood, he has been groomed to be the next president of the Hanabishi corporate group. But after receiving a very strict education, he left the Hanabishi clan, and now leads a penniless life alone in a cheap apartment. He belongs to a photo club at the university. He is very honest and gentle.	Aoi Sakuraba. Aoi was raised to be the bride of the son of the Hanabishi family. She is a daughter of the Sakurabas, a family that has become a major business conglomerate from a tradition of making kimonos. As the family heir, ordinarily Aoi’s husband would take over the family business. Aoi has been training to be a good wife since she first met Kaoru when she was small. As a result, even though she was born into riches, she is very good at housekeeping. She also truly loves Kaoru.


Miyabi Kagurazaki. Miyabi is Aoi's caretaker. She knows Aoi very well, and is well aware that Aoi has loved Kaoru ever since she was a little girl. Miyabi patiently watches Aoi and Kaoru together. She seems to act a bit cold toward them, but she is really a kind person with their best interests at heart.	Tina Foster. Tina goes to the same university as Kaoru. She also belongs to the photo club. She is an American who grew up in Hakata and is energetic and outgoing. Still, she can't seem to express her true feelings honestly to Kaoru.

Taeko Minazuki. Taeko is a sophomore and also a member of the photo club, to which Kaoru and Tina belong. Though she is awkward and makes a lot of mistakes, she is always positive and tries her best.	Chika Minazaki. Chika is Taeko’s cousin. She is an upbeat, active junior high school student.

Mayu Miyuki. Mayu was born into the family that operates the Miyuki Silk Company. She enters Meiritsu University after coming back from abroad. She also has been in love with Kaoru since she was a child, and ardently pursues Kaoru.
