An utterly ordinary, routine life, each day no different from the day before or after it. But he was not in the least unhappy with his life. For him, a life of "nothing" was also one of "nothing to lose". Wish for something, and you would only end up getting hurt. After all, he'd already sampled enough of the world's bitterness for one lifetime. Until, like a herald of the end of that tranquil existence, an angel appeared. "Angels". The protectors of human loves. The ones who spin the "red thread", and those who play its melody. "Love can never bring people happiness.", said Tomoe. "That's not true at all! Falling in love makes your heart feel all light!", Aine replied. Tomoe, who soon found himself aiding the "acting angel" with whom he couldn't see eye to eye on anything in her work, is is drawn alongside Aine into deep involvement with others' romantic lives... The many shapes of love, and the forms of happiness that pass before our eyes every day. This is their journey to find the true meaning of happiness. And at that journey's end, his own reason for living on... Game is localized and has English reviews |

 Lucid dreams. Dreams where you know that you're dreaming. After an accident in his youth, Tooru Naitou began to have nothing but lucid dreams. Always being aware of when he's dreaming meant that his mind could no longer rest when he was asleep. Only when he collapsed from utter exhaustion does he finally get a reprieve. Lucky for him, he has a childhood friend, Saki, who insists on calling him 'Nii-san' that tries to do what she can to support him. In his science club, his senpai Yayoi is endlessly amused by his awkward way of living. And he has an underclassman, Keiko, who likes to sing in front of the station and likes to call him weird for his less than normal attitude towards life. Tonight, Tooru dreams again. But this dream is different from those that came before. "Maia...? Why are you in my dream...?" A girl he hasn't seen ever since he started having lucid dreams, and to Tooru, this was the very worst form she could take. But Maia wasn't the only one who appeared. "I'll put an end to bad dreams right here." With those words, a girl who calls herself Alice rescues Tooru from Maia's grasps. Alice says that she's a traveler of dreams, and now she's come to Tooru's dream. What could all this mean? The anxious Tooru certainly has no answers as Maia softly whispers into his ear: “This is the story of a sweet, happy nightmare.” There are English reviews |
