You dropped everything for a language school in Japan. Not an anime world, but reality: paying rent, deciphering signs, and using gestures at the konbini.
A whole year lies ahead: hanami, summer matsuri, a typhoon, autumn oshikatsu, winter Comiket, and hatsumode.
Four romance routes: loud Mexican Sofia, sassy otaku Mei from Shanghai, warm Sita from Nepal, and shy Japanese Yui.
This isn't just reading. Work part-time, freelance, collect gachapon, prep for JLPT exams, furnish your room, and play 13 mini-games — from shaping momo to concert rhythm games.
30 endings: from marriage and an IT job to a momo empire, VTuber debut, and a comedic deportation. Each has an epilogue. A hidden "Rootedness" mechanic counts how you actually lived this year, not just your words.
Create your hero: choose your name and age (18-45). The story, appearance, city, school, and apartment adapt to your choices.
Can you find a home on the other side of the world?
Tap or click the screen for the next line, tap an option to make a choice.
A hub opens between chapters — your free days. Energy is limited, so you can't do everything in one day: take a shift at the konbini (for money and real-life Japanese), do remote work (for those who bought a desk), prep for the JLPT, spin the gachapon, visit the furniture store, or sleep until the next day.
Mini-games trigger during events: catch what the cashier mumbled, shape momo, catch fish at a festival, hit the beat at a concert, or pack a typhoon survival kit. You can win or lose each one — the result affects your reward, but failure doesn't end the story.
Your choices affect relationships with characters and the hidden "Rootedness" parameter, which determines which of the 30 endings you will unlock.
Progress is saved automatically at every step: you can close the tab and return later. Unlocked endings are collected in the Gallery.
Use the gear icon to access settings: adjust volume, text speed, and exit.
