Natsuiro High School: Seishun Hakusho [PS3/PS4]

~Welcome to the freedom of the island, to the freedom of school~

Quote:

Somewhere in Japan is a small island known as “Yumegashima,” where a transfer student arrives to attend its only school, “Yumegashima High School,” on July 7, 20XX. The player will spend the next three months as a second year student at Yumegashima High School, before changing schools again. The gears of fate will begin to turn from the first day the player begins school, kicking off by meeting the over-familiar, but frivolous and helpful Shigeyuki Tsuzaki (Shige for short), and will go on to introduce 29 other classmates in Class B.

Quote:

This includes an unexpected reunion with his now-grown childhood friend Megu Mikazuki. She takes him along somewhere, but… what’s this? Meg takes the player to the school’s journalism club, which is danger of bung dismantled, and forces him to join as the only boy in the club. So he becomes their cameraman. The rest of the club consists of four girls, who are cute, but come with their oddities. As for third years, there’s the blunt president Kaoruko Shoji and motivaed vice president Yayoi Ogami. As for the rest, there’s the first year hostile man-hater Tamaki Shimabukuro, and your second year childhood friend Meg. On this island overflowing with wonderful scenery, and full of love, friends, scoops, and mysterious incidents, players can fully enjoy the freedom of a high school life. How the player decides to spend their summer school life is up to them. There are 300 people on the island of Yumegashima, and 150 quests for the player to carry out. You’ll deepen your relationship with the girls of the journalism club. Or, follow a story of friendship with your fellow classmates. After three months, it will be your time to leave, but what kind of ending will you receive?

The girls of Yumegashima High School’s journalism club





The activities of the journalism club include conveying a variety of news to everyone in Yumegashima and Yumegashima High School. However, it cannot deny that it’s fallen to a shortage of members, and if they don’t have a fifth member by July, it will no longer remain officially active. But the protagonist ensures their continued operation by joining. In September, the school will host a cultural festival involving a series of research presentations that each member participates in, with topics varying based on their own findings and research. But even though the player has ensured club operations continue, the other members remain on edge about their prospects and are hesitant to get too excited as the cultural festival approaches.

Four members of the high school’s journalism club are introduced in Famitsu. From left to right, pictured in the second scan, they are:

• Megu Mikazuki (voice by Shiori Mikami) – Second year, class C. A simple girl and the protagonist’s childhood friend. She has a strong sense of responsibility and solves all her problems on her own.


• Kaoruko Shoji (voiced by Rie Murakawa) – Third year, class A. The lively chief of the journalism club with vertical hair rolls. The daughter of a giant corporation, she is diligent, straight-laced, and has excellent grades.


• Yayoi Ogami (voiced by Juri Nagatsuma) – Third year, class C. The tall vice president of the journalism club with a “dynamite body.” She is kind, but also has a peculiar personality.


• Tamaki Shimabukuro (voiced by Aya Suzaki) – First year, class B. She looks to Megu as an older sister and, as her childhood friend, is hostile towards the protagonist. Her desire to monopolize Megu is intense, and she can have childishly selfish thoughts, but she doesn’t hate the protagonist.

Take on quests and help the people



There are more than 150 people on the island of Yumegashima who need your help. Every one of them is troubled with something and will request you help them with a special job. Talk to everyone to pinpoint these quest holders. After receiving a quest, you can check it at any time on the Quest List.



Don’t miss your shutter chance



As a cameraman for the journalism club, you should not let your shutter chance escape as a photograph subject could appear at any time. The first step as a socially aware photographer is to take pictures of the lives of the island’s people, however, you should do it without being a nuisance. But if you’re aiming for that panty shot, crawling along the floors of the town, police notification is inevitable.
