The starting point of the story
After graduating from 'CLANNAD,' Tomoya Okazaki left school and started working at a recycling company, began living alone, and spent his daily life with his girlfriend, Tomoyo Sakagami. Tomoyo's younger brother, Takafumi, brings a girl named Tomomi and explains that Tomo is the half-sister of Tomoyo and Takafumi; It is also said that Tomoyo and Takafumi decided to accept it. As summer vacation approaches, Henan Zi, Eagle's ex-girlfriend and Tomoyo's junior, moves in to live with them, and the five begin a shared summer life.
Character relationships
The story centers on the romantic relationship between Tomoya and Tomoyo, while also incorporating Tomoya's younger brother Takafumi, the young Tomoe, and Kanoko into the everyday community. Key positions it as a spin-off story centered on the popular CLANNAD character Tomoyo Sakagami; The change in their relationship comes from the couple taking on new family responsibilities and living together, rather than rehashing the original school storyline.
Game structure
The core is a romance adventure story. The PC Perfect Edition also includes the tactical RPG Dungeons & Takafumis, which is unlocked by meeting certain conditions. Set in a world of swords and magic, the goal is to rescue the imprisoned Eagle Script by characters from this game. Key records that the RPG itself has over ten hours of gameplay.
Edition and production
The 2005 PC first release was for adults; Key later released an all-ages edition and the 2014 PC Perfect Edition, the latter integrating console ports with new content. The Nintendo Switch CS Edition is a standalone console version and also includes a dungeon RPG mini-game. PC Perfect Edition script credits: Jun Maeda, Leo Kashida, Hayato Tsunokawa, original animation by Fumio, music by Shinji Orito, Magome Togoshi by Jun Yomaeda.
The old knot of Henanzi and eagle writing
Henanzi's father was once Yingwen's track and field mentor, and the two fell in love because of this connection. Yingwen was injured trying to save his family, and soon after, his mentor passed away, leaving behind an unresolved burden. Henanzi left home because his mother remarried; With the help of Tomoya and Tomoyo, Takafumi participates in the Citizen Marathon. After the competition, Henanzi accepted him and started dating again. The two went together to meet his mother's new wife.
Youzi reunited with mother and daughter
Ariko suffers from a serious illness and feels she cannot bring happiness to Tomo, so she entrusts her daughter to the Sakagami family and then moves to a remote village. Tomoya hopes mother and daughter will spend the rest of their time together, but Tomoyo initially wants to continue caring for Tomoya. Peng also fought with Henanzi for help from the villagers, ultimately reuniting mother and daughter; Tomoyo also accepts the farewell. About two weeks later, news arrived that Ayuko's condition had suddenly worsened, and Tomo collapsed on the way to the village.
Rebuilding memories and waiting for family
After being injured, Tomo also loses his memories from after middle school; new memories reset every week, and Tomoyo continues to care for him for three years. Tomoya eventually believes he once deeply loved Chiyo and chooses to undergo surgery. Naoki knew that after his son was admitted, he kept cleaning the house until he was willing to return. The all-ages version adds a new storyline that Kananko can't accept Tomoya, who has lost his memory, forgetting Tomoya and going through their shared experiences.
A review of the seventh day of care for the PS2 version
On the 7th day of After on PS2 CS Edition, she looks back on three years of care from Tomoyo's perspective, and Haruhara also came to visit Tomoya. Tomoyo once left the hospital room, but after helping a fallen elderly man deliver groceries and cooking alone, she unconsciously called out Tomoya's name, confirming she still loved him deeply and returned to the hospital to continue accompanying him.
PS2 version on the eighth day and pre-op visit
On the 8th day after After, Tomoya and Tomoyo went to Naoyuki's home to report their naturalization and the decision to undergo surgery. Before the surgery, Tomoya visited Tomoya at the hospital and encouraged him to face the procedure. These scenes continue the story of memory impairment and long-term care.
Specific division of labor for original soundtrack tracks
Among the 21-track soundtracks, Jun Maeda composed "Hope," "Love Song," "Morning Glow," "Old Summer Days," "Memories," and "Love Song-Piano-"; Magome Togoshi composed "favorite loop" and "worth living," with the remaining instrumental pieces composed by Shinji Orito. The official digital catalog lists Shinji Orito as producer and mastering engineer for the three tracks of "hope," "love song," and "morning glow," with VISUAL ARTS / Key responsible for programming.
