I'm currently replaying this, a VN by Sorahane. This is not a moege or a charage, despite the packaging. Rather, it is a VN centering around several major themes: life (its meaning), death (immediacy and fear of), and 'immortality'. This is one of the few VNs with an immortality theme that I felt attacked the matter of immortality with something approaching intelligent thought, which gave it a special place in my heart, despite the fact that this is a mediocre company overall (its other two games proved to be fairly boring, though pretty). Basically, in this VN, it is the twenty-third century and science has discovered the way to defeat age and illness through a technology known as 'tokoshie' (means eternity). Everyone (in Japan, anyway) has the right to become tokoshie.
For those who want to know what its story structure is like, it has a set heroine progression going from Miyako>Miyu>Tsubame>Sakura (two chapters)>Kanade>Serika>Sumire.
Miyako is an odd girl who appears cold during school day, but is a warm-hearted girl during the afternoon at night (the reason is pretty rofl, so I won't spoil it). Miyu is a perverted natural loli whose passion is eroge. Tsubame is the genki osananajimi (she has other hidden traits, but that is her first, second, and third impressions). Sakura is a central heroine, the game's one true eternaloli, though I won't spoil her for you. Kanade is Miyako's little sister, an adorable girl who is a great cook, has an inordinate fondness for spicy food, and is something of an amateur artist. Serika is the student council president, who has something of a rival/antagonistic relationship with Sumire. Sumire, the final heroine, is the club president for the Lifestyle Club (which is central to the story) and an outwardly self-indulgent and perverted young woman with an excess of outward enthusiasm.
Look forward to my route analyses in the coming days.
