🌆 A Homecoming Full of Memories, Mysteries, and Bittersweet Smiles

Stepping off the train, you pass through the ticket gates of your hometown—an old place now filled with unfamiliar nostalgia. You’ve returned, ready to start anew, expecting the comfort of your past. But things have changed…

The apartment where you once lived? Gone. In its place, an abstract structure of intertwined pipes and scaffolding—something surreal and out of place. This is Glass Town, a strangely transformed neighborhood on the edge of the city, still glowing with the golden haze of sunset, still echoing with voices from your youth.

Among the charming shops and winding alleys is Senju, a tiny takoyaki stand now run by your childhood friend Gogi, the stern but caring eldest sister of a trio of girls. Her younger sister, Sakurako, was once the center of your childhood affection. And though the years have passed, your heart can’t help but drift back to her.

Now living above the takoyaki shop, you're surrounded by:

• Gogi, the responsible older sister and de facto head of the household

• Sakurako, the girl who once held your heart, now grown and just as mysterious

• A third sister, a career woman with a wild streak

• A mysterious young girl, whose identity may be closer to you than you think

• A classmate from your past, who seems to know more than she lets on

This is your new life—unexpected, a little chaotic, but full of warmth, comedy, and soft melancholy. As your days unfold, you'll experience gentle romance, slice-of-life moments, and a deeper story about time, memory, and growing up.
