Ryugaku Ren'ai

Story

Vee Urban, an anime-loving American sixteen year old, moves to Japan with her father–only it’s not the flashy streets of Shinjuku and glitzy fashion of Akihabara she always dreamed of; it’s quiet, calm Joyo City, a suburb of Kyoto. Vee’s a fish out of water in a brand-new country, facing language barriers, culture misunderstandings, and a whole school of unfamiliar people.Vee makes new friends, tries new activities, and has a chance run-in with Kosagawa Yuuka, the aloof, alluring soft tennis star who’s also the most popular girl in school. Through a series of chance encounters, they enter a messy romantic relationship that creates a whirlwind throughout the school.It’s a slice-of-life comedy, an LGBTQ+ coming-of-age drama, and an expansive adventure game that follows a year of school life through real-time story episodes.
