The boy and girl traveling together
Roma is a doll with dreams she hopes to come true; Risk travels with him as a bard. The events they face include both superficial joy and betrayal and revenge, with misfortunes from various places often intertwined with puppets.
The journey of four chapters
The story is divided into four chapters, each with relatively independent events, and the overall journey progressively advances. Chapter One centers on the conflict between dreams and reality in towns; Chapter Two introduces Roma to another doll, Adel, comparing different dolls' understanding of emotions. The following chapters gradually reveal the connections between the characters' backgrounds and their journeys.
Puppets and emotions
Adele's experience confronts Roma with the contradiction between doll rules and individual will. The work juxtaposes the weaknesses of humans and dolls, with characters still bearing the consequences of their choices after the events end. Judging happiness is a recurring issue, and the journey does not end with resolving external conflicts.
Written expression
Character dialogues borrow the comic's segmented format, rather than relying solely on traditional horizontal dialogue boxes. The chapter-style narrative and this visual format set it apart from the group's earlier works, and later 'Clearrain' also adopted similar dialogue for expression.
Production and distribution
This is Banquet's third installment, first released on C78 in August 2010, with the date listed as August 14. A downloadable version was also released in November 2011. Lukuru and Yugiri continued collaborating on "Clear Rain," which was a production contact and should not be considered the same world based on this.
