Welcome, Guest-san.
A small thrift shop tucked away in a back alley of Koenji. There stands Toru Niki, a clerk who is a bit lethargic but strangely easy to talk to. Whether you have him pick out clothes, talk to kill time, or go eat ramen together, it's up to you. Whether you fall in love or end up as just familiar faces is also up to you.
