Returning home and encountering unusual changes
Sawai Toru and Natsuha return to Moshin Village after six years. The guardian yomi Sumi, childhood friend Arishima Arisu, and the karasan yokai Hishakado remain here, with humans and yokai jointly participating in daily life in the village. During Natsumatsuri's performance recounting the past between Nanachen Cheeks and humans, Natsuha suddenly collapsed and grew more than ten centimeters tall overnight. Tohru begins searching for the cause between the disease and the curse.
People and Families
Tohru once left his hometown to study medicine and lived with his only relative, Natsuha; He is highly responsible but not good at sensing others' feelings. Sumi has long cared for the Sawai family's house and watched the siblings grow up. Fei Cha Jiao is entrusted by the siblings' parents to stay at home and serves as a protector.
Arisu and Tooru have known each other since childhood and studied to get into the same university. She dislikes others simply because her appearance resembles her, and she has a fondness for Tohru, who gets along with nature.
Survey directions for the route
The Arisu arc focuses on Tohru using medicine to find the cause of Natsuha's changes, and Arisu helps him during her research. The Sumi arc shifts to the legend of the Seven Cheeks stealing time, investigating the curse known as 'Toki-tan'. In the Natsuha Chapter, you need to complete these two routes first before it will unlock.
Additional story
The Vita version also features five extra scenarios, including Natsuha and Akae investigating ghost rumors in the hospital, Alice sending a lost kitten home, and different characters meeting in the Land of Roots. The other two stories return to Tohru's childhood caring for baby Natsuha, and depict familiar friends taking a boat to search for whales.
