A letter brought by pigeons
U-Ren lives in a town surrounded by greenery, making a living by repairing old items. His communication with Kanade began with an injured carrier pigeon: after Kanade rescued the pigeon, the two began communicating. Kanade possesses both human and alien blood; her mother is no longer by her side. Her singing can soothe plants, but she still doesn't know how to fully harness this power.
Start with the lesson of love
Kanade believes the best love song can save the world, so she asks Yuto for a romantic relationship. The two must understand the power of the song and get to know each other. Starting from this invitation with a clear purpose, the story connects life in the post-apocalyptic environment with the process of experiencing love for the first time.
Companions in town
Iori is Yuto's childhood friend, one year his senior, skilled in organization and mediation; Minori is also an old acquaintance who helped run the restaurant during her mother's pregnancy. Aki takes over the secondhand store and participates in town self-defense, while the older owner is a senior in teaching Yujin repair techniques. Kanade is also surrounded by an unidentified little creature, Punya.
Production and distribution
Ei Asao was responsible for planning and scriptwriting, Yusano was responsible for the main character design, Akio Watanabe participated in supporting character design, and Fumiki Matsuki composed the music. The theme song "Hajimari wa Koi" is performed by Kanade's voice actress Yuko Natsuyoshi, with lyrics by Yuichi Kuwashima. The PC download version will be released on June 12, 2025; The physical PC and Switch download versions will be released on December 23, 2025.
Carrier pigeons and communication
Overgrowth of plants has caused human civilization to retreat, so Youden repairs old items in a town surrounded by greenery. Kanade rescued his injured carrier pigeon, and the two began communicating. The girl has human and alien blood; her mother has left her side. She can soothe plants with song, but has not yet mastered all her powers.
Love invitation
Kanade believes the best love songs can save the world, so she invites Yuto to date her. This request had a clear purpose, requiring the two to get to know each other and understand their feelings, rather than just practicing a single song.
Childhood friends and a restaurant
Iori is Yuto's childhood friend, one year older, skilled at organizing and mediating. Minori is also an old acquaintance who helped run Hinata Diner during her mother's pregnancy; She shares the same birthday as Iori and has been close since childhood. The two live in the town against a post-apocalyptic backdrop, maintaining daily order.
Secondhand stores and self-defense
Aki takes over her grandfather's secondhand store, participates in town self-defense, and also drives. Grandpa taught Youdeng repair techniques and used his experience to help residents solve practical problems. The Kanade family also lives Punya, small creatures with different colors, some of which can speak human language.
