【Youth Fantasy ADV】You must not reach out to that miracle. Entergram sends a new novel ADV! ARIA BLUE I. Natsune release decided in January 2027!

What if you could reclaim once more a precious wish that you left behind in the past...? What would you do? “ARIA BLUE I. Natsune” introduced this time is a youth fantasy adventure game throwing such painful yet hope-filled questions. The stage of the story is Hakuri Town, a northern land where magnificent nature spreads out. What unfolds in beautiful scenery is a single summer drama where boys and girls holding scars and regrets in their hearts move forward little by little through interactions with comrades. Thinking it is a refreshing youth story, behind that hidden is past pain that cannot be erased easily. That is why it is a work where you naturally become curious about what kind of futures the characters choose.

The reason why protagonist Yuma Tatekawa came to Hakuri Town. That was to chase clues of his younger sister separated at an early age. With feelings toward family in chest that could not be forgotten even passing long years, Yuma begins life in a new land. Comrades met at student dorm “Mijinsou”, mysterious school buildings floating on beautiful lakes, mysterious events occur one after another around him. And, finally the long-awaited reunion with his younger sister is realized! However, returned there were cold words like “I don't have an older brother or anything, though?”. No no, finally able to meet, if told such things you cannot recover, right? Why does the younger sister deny the existence of her older brother? And what was there in the blank time lying between two people? This shocking development heightens interest toward the story at once.

What particularly draws heart in this work is the charm of the stage called Hakuri Town. In a town wrapped in magnificent nature unique to northern lands, boys and girls spend an unforgettable summer. Just this alone is sufficiently emotional, but what wants attention drawn is the existence of mysterious school buildings floating on lakes. By fantastical elements melting into real scenery, casual daily lives are felt somewhat mysterious. What is hidden in that building, what kind of changes do lakes bring to characters. There seems to be fun reading while inflating such imaginations. Worldviews where natural beauty and mysterious atmospheres coexist are major highlights unique to youth fantasy.

“ARIA BLUE” series is an adventure game of a continuous series format depicting stories woven by 9 boys and girls divided into multiple works. In respective works, focusing on 1 protagonist and 2 heroines, weaving dramas expanding inside the same time. What bears the center in the 1st work “ARIA BLUE I. Natsune” are 3 people: Yuma Tatekawa, Konatsu Suzueda, and Orine Mizugahara. Here is an interesting place, not merely chasing the growth of a single boy, but expecting how stories expand through involvement with heroines can be done as well. Even spending the same summer, feelings held and scenery seen differ for each person. Wouldn't real pleasures of youth dramas lie precisely in moments where such differences in heart cross?

Flowing at the foundation of this work is the theme “reclaiming wishes once given up”. Anyone holds regretted experiences or events that cannot be forgotten by any means. It does not necessarily mean feelings are organized as time passes, and even if wanting to move forward there are times when feet stop. In figures where such boys and girls meet and change while influenced by each other's existences, your heart should surely be moved. Determination put into words “I reclaim that summer” is impressive as well, isn't it? Even if the past itself cannot be changed, ways of facing the future can be changed. Places letting you feel such hopes are wonderful charms of this work, I think.

“ARIA BLUE I. Natsune” is a youth fantasy ADV depicting bonds with family, encounters with comrades, regrets remaining in heart, and courage to walk once again. Can relationships with his younger sister be restored, what kind of secrets exist in the mysterious lake, and can Yuma and others reclaim wishes nearly lost. Numerous concerning elements are packed. It is a work wanting people who want to enjoy slightly painful, heart-resonating stories while feeling refreshing summer air to pay attention to. Encounters of a single summer sometimes change lives. Wouldn't you also experience such special time in Hakuri Town?
