About

A strange man lives in the neighborhood.

His name is Kotaro Kotomori. I don't know his age. I don't know his job. In fact, I don't even know how long he's lived around here.

However, whenever we meet, he greets me with a smile and a "Hey there," and if I'm in trouble, he lends a hand, saying, "I suppose I have no choice."

He speaks in a slightly old-fashioned way. He's strangely knowledgeable. He gets hurt if you call him an old man. Sometimes he's incredibly pathetic.

And the more you ask, the more the mysteries multiply.

"I'm just your friendly neighborhood older brother."

That's what he says.

It's probably not a lie. Probably.
