To Heart 2
Takaaki Kono is a high school student who has troubles understanding girls,
and cannot quite imagine starting a romantic relationship with one of them. He
sees the childish and cheerful Konomi Yuzuhara, his childhood friend, as a
younger sister. However, relationships between boys and girls rarely remain
innocent, and Takaaki begins to feel that perhaps he is able to see Konomi
differently. It all becomes even more complicated when another female
childhood friend of Takaaki’s returns to town, and when he realizes that there
might be other young women in his school who might become interested in him.
To Heart 2 isn’t directly connected story-wise to To Heart, though it has
similar setting and themes. The game is essentially a visual novel, with much
of the story evolving automatically, displayed as text descriptions and
dialogues superimposed on still anime-style images. The player is prompted to
make decisions from time to time, which will influence the course of the
story. The game is divided into school days; at the end of each day, the
player can choose a location among several ones available for Takaaki to
visit. Locations are accompanied by portraits of corresponding girls, making
it more clear to the player which relationship he’ll be promoting by making
his choice.
