One month before the birthday
Ichikui attends Kyungyang University Affiliated Fujikawa High School, and news of her engagement changed her previously peaceful campus life. There was still some time before he learned the other person's identity. During this time, he met new people and re-examined his existing relationships. The main contradiction between preset family agreements and the actual feelings that arise forms the main contradiction.
Coffee shop and childhood friends
Sae Sukimiya is a senior and also works at the café Le Sac; Her initial encounter with Ikki was not harmonious, and as they dated, their impressions gradually changed. Tianyu Nene is Ikkui's childhood friend. Kazune Kitakata, Ferster Marie Akatsura, and Yukika Nakamori also participate in the story from different relationships and positions.
Encounters in the series
The series continues the storyline through daily interactions, emotional misunderstandings, and personal choices, featuring existing characters such as Shin Inaho and Nanyan. The new protagonist's school life and romance remain central to the story, while the appearance of old characters connects new experiences with the worlds accumulated in the series. Different character routes show Ikki's responses to promises and sincerity.
Ichikui's school life
Kazuki Kusumiki attends Fujikawa High School, enjoys light novels and old games, and does not join any clubs. He already has a fiancée arranged at home, but he doesn't know who she is and doesn't take the initiative in dating. Childhood friends Tianyu Nening and Otaki Shin often have lunch with him and chat with Rosak.
Female leads from different circumstances
Sae Sumiya is an outstanding special recruit who works part-time at the Rosac Fujikawa Station store, saving her earnings. Kitakata Kazuon joined the literary club and published works on novel submission websites, dreaming of making a living through writing. Ningning grew up in a wealthy family and shared almost everything with Yikui.
Football and the seaside
Marie came from Germany to Fujikawa High School due to her football skills and lived with her teammate Hikaru Kurauchi. Hikari has romantic feelings for her. Ichikui is also close to Yukika Nakamori, who often stays on Ashika Island and disagrees with her parents about the future; Rei Shigashiyun is usually shy but especially talkative when telling strange tales.
New work for figures from past generations
Nan Yan served as a homeroom teacher, modern Chinese teacher, and advisor to the literary club at the school. Shin's YuKuRu was hit by a car and shut down. He returned to Rosak Fujikawa Station Front store as a temporary new employee trainer, and the new protagonist intersected with generations of characters through work and school.
Production and theme song
Mutsumi Sasaki was in charge of character design, Naotaka Hayashi wrote the script, Tsuyoshi Abo was in charge of the music, and Taro Shibata and Makoto Asada were signed producers and executive producers respectively. Ayane performed 'Not Always True' and 'Hakoniwa no Himitsu'; the former had lyrics by her, the latter by Katsuo Kawazumi, and both songs were arranged by Toshimichi Isoe.
Music and related materials
The ATOM-0009 single was released on April 23, 2025, and also includes a medley of Ayane's 20th anniversary live Memories Off. The limited edition Sound Collection features soundtrack data created by Abaogang, available in mp3 and FLAC, and is separate from the theme song single.
Six directions for the post-day talk
Break out of my shell separately describes working part-time at a hotel and pursuing further studies, cohabitation after university, plagiarism accusations in novels, changes in the soccer club, encounters with parents, and supernatural spells. In the Yukika arc, it is explicitly stated that she is the daughter of Nan'en and Shota Nakamori; Each story has a different ending, so you can't place all lovers' identities together in the same timeline.
The script handover and reading arrangements for "Double Imagination."
Naotaka Hayashi of "Twin Thoughts" built Ningning from the planning stage, wrote the two main female leads' routes, and unified the tone of the protagonists written by other authors. Shibata concentrated the "Family" theme on two main lines and set lower boundaries for submissions on other routes; The first round temporarily locks the Ningning branch, reduces options, and adjusts reading blocks serve the reading order of early experience Shae.
The design draft and background of "Double Imagination."
"Double Thoughts" uses multiple photos taken in southern Hunan to organize the background, creating a contrast between dark and bright areas and reducing abrupt portrait poses. Shibata Monji proposed Nene's body shape requirements, while Sasaki supplemented with a cat mouth design; Xiao Sora's sketch was revised by Sasaki Shibata because the ends of his hair and cheeks easily gave him a boyish appearance.
Script commissions added in the later stages of "Double Imagination."
Before the title of "Twin Thoughts" was announced, Asada suddenly proposed horror elements, increasing the original five romance heroines to six. Shibata explained the setting and early series methods to Kitoin Shin, who then completed the new routes.
The performance choices between Sae and Yukika
The cast of "Double Thought" publicly commented in January 2025 about different ways of acting in relationships. Lynn controls the overall emotional intensity as Sae gradually reveals her cute side; Yamane Aya adjusted the quality of her performance as the distance between Yukika and Ikki changed, and paid attention to conveying the characters' candor when facing cherished people and places.
