PSP Second Novel: Kanojo no Natsu, 15-Bun no Kioku - New

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Love triangles have the potential of ending in tragedy. Some end in assault, others involve NASA diapers, still others might lead to a stabbing or some form of bodily harm. The story in Second Novel: Kanojo no Natsu touches on a teenage love triangle that gets complicated when a boy named Yuichi walks off the roof of his school and plunges to his death. Soon after the tragic incident, a girl named Ayano follows in Yuichi's footsteps and also falls from the roof of the school but she survives her mishap. The third person involved in the triangle is a boy named Naoya who was a close friend of Yuichi and in love with Ayano.

Fast forward five years and Naoya is 23 years old and attending Tokyo University. He decides to visits his hometown when summer vacation rolls around. While at home, he reunites with Ayano and the two attempt to piece together what happened with Yuichi and why Ayano herself jumped from the rooftop. A hindrance in their quest of discovery is Ayano's lack of long term memory. After her fall, Ayano can only remember 15 minutes of her past before it is forgotten and replaced by the next 15 minutes.

Can Naoya help Ayano with her vanishing memories? Will the supporting cast members of Chiaki, Sakura and a language teacher named Yukari be able to help? Why do love triangles always end up in tears? Second Novel is played in visual-novel form which is heavy on the text and static graphics but generally short on actual player interaction.
