Makoto had just noticed her in the beginning of the second term; her name is Kotonoha, and they ride the same train everyday. Just being able to look at her every morning was enough to make his day, and he soon developed interest in her. One day he took her picture through his cellphone without her knowing. There is a legend or "cellphone charm" that states that if you take a picture of the person you like and they don't find out about it, they'll realize your love.

Makoto found that legend ridiculous, and was just about to delete the photo when his classmate named Sekai accidently saw the picture on his cellphone and was able to identify her as Kotonoha. For her slip up, she then decides to play matchmaker to bring them together. Sekai starts by becoming friends with Kotonoha and then getting her to eat lunch together with Makoto. They get along fine, and thus Makoto decides it's time to confess his feelings to Kotonoha.

Things are successful and it seems that Kotonoha and Makoto have mutual feelings towards another. Makoto can't thank Sekai enough for going through so much trouble in setting them up together. He asks Sekai if there's anything he can do to repay her kindness. Sekai says that there is one way he can repay, and at that moment, at the train station, Sekai swiftly steals a kiss from Makoto. Who would have thought that this beautiful love could go so completly wrong.

Did You Know That School Days Was A Game Before It Became An Anime? =]

School Days is an animation adventure game developed by 0verflow and was first released on April 28, 2005. The original version, made for the PC, contains adult content of a sexual nature. An all-ages version was later released on January 17, 2008 for the PlayStation 2.

Similar to traditional visual novels, gameplay in School Days follows a linear plot line where at predetermined times the player is given the choice to interact and choose several options that appear on the screen. It differs from traditional visual novels in that the story is presented in a format that resembles an anime, and is divided into individual episodes and contains an opening sequence and an ending sequence.

The game is known for its "bad" endings, with contents ranging from the murder of the main characters, to graphic depictions of suicide. A spin-off of the game, Summer Days, was released by 0verflow using the same system, but with such contents removed.








Kotonoha WITH A CHAINSAW??? WTF!!! RUN!!!




Primary Characters In The Anime.


Makoto Ito
Voiced by: Tatsuya Hirai (game), Daisuke Hirakawa (anime)
Birthday: October 16 (Libra), Blood Type: O
He is the main character of the story. He attends Sakakino Gakuen and is in class three, year one. Throughout the story, he is an indecisive womanizer, unable or unwilling to choose between the women in his life. Although not a bad-natured person, Makoto can be very self-centered and rash, and tends to make decisions without caring about how others feel or about the later consequences. Only at the conclusion of the anime does he belatedly realize the error of his ways.
His parents are divorced and he now lives together with his mother in an upperscale apartment. His little sister, Itaru, lives with her father. His name means "Truth", contrasting with his indecisive nature.


Kotonoha Katsura
Voiced by: Soyogi Tōno (game), Tae Okajima (anime)
Birthday: January 4 (Capricorn), Blood Type: A, B/W/H: 102/60/84 She is in year one, class four and is a member of the Student Council. She takes the same train as Makoto and becomes his girlfriend early in the story. Despite her busty figure, Kotonoha is quiet and has a respectable nature, but is frightened of boys, apparently after some bad experiences in junior high; due to this reserved and shy attitude, Kotonoha and Makoto often have awkward moments together. She is also very mentally fragile, expressed with her facial expressions (specifically her lifeless eyes) and obsessive behavior when she feels neglected or loses Makoto in some way. She is disliked by Otome and her friends and is subject to their bullying; this was present before she dated Makoto and intensified when Otome learns of her link to him.
Her family is very rich, and lives in a large house away from the city. Both of her parents work. Her given name written in Kanji can also be read as "Kotoba" which means "Word" in Japanese.


Sekai Saionji
Voiced by: Kaname Yuzuki (game), Shiho Kawaragi (anime)
Birthday: December 7 (Sagittarius), Blood Type: B, B/W/H: 84/62/86
The emotional and spirited classmate of Makoto. She is in the same class as him, and is seated next to him. After seeing the picture of Kotonoha that Makoto took on his cell phone, she helps him get close to Kotonoha, despite harboring strong feelings for him. Like Makoto, she is good at heart, but tends to make decisions without thinking about how others feel, and her impulsive and emotional nature sometimes leads her into trouble.
She lives with her mother, Youko, in an apartment. Her given name means "World" in Japanese; she has made a few puns with this detail.
