Sayaka Shirakawa
Sayaka is a fine young lady, but because her father is eccentric and paints ”death”, she is ostracized by the village. While it is a pity she must suffer such misfortune, she’s full of emotion and seems quick to anger so they mostly just leave her alone. She is also very quick-witted but she hates studying so her grades are rather low. If she keeps this up, she’ll fail so she asks Souji Kamishiro to be her home tutor. She loves scarecrows and jewelry but hates sunflowers.

Contrary to her appearance, she acts very maturely; however, sometimes anachronisms show up in her conversation. For some reason, $1.00 equals 360 Yen in her mind. She also has an unbelievably huge appetite and even grills her favorite, corn on a cob, to enjoy by herself. She can always be found holding her stuffed animal, the cat ”Archimedes”.

Lout
A bit lengthy (but when it comes to VNs, that's what I like) and I had to raise the white flag and consult a walkthrough BUT this game can you give your tear ducts a decent workout.
As with most Circus products, you won't see boatloads of ero CGs, so if that's what you're looking for you may be a tad disappointed.
However, if you're looking for plot? This is a must-buy. The stories trend to the tragic at times but there is humor injected and still plenty of light-heartedness. Also, there is a bit of overlap with the stories and characters as you progress through the game and see the world through the eyes of the multiple protagonists.
I really enjoyed this game and would definitely recommend it. Then again, I'm just some random twit on the internet so the final decision rests with those reading this.
