サクラノ刻 -櫻の森の下を歩む-

Geniuses, the talented, and the ordinary. Weak gods and strong gods. A story that goes beyond happiness, and even further still. This, indeed, is the second act of the Sakura story. A genius chosen by the gods, a talented person abandoned by the gods, and an ordinary person who defies the gods. What is the charis that dwells in beauty? Why is its fruit given only to the chosen? “Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?” A world bound by the light of causal exchange. Can artists, through beauty, answer that question? The story centers on Naoya Kusanagi after the events of Sakura no Uta, following the final landscape Naoya and Ai saw while descending from the slope overlooking the city of Yumihari. Until then, many untold stories remained. Two geniuses. The true story behind Kei Natsume and Naoya Kusanagi. Why do they continue to captivate people as artists, even after death or after putting down the brush? Rin Misakura, a painter who is the very embodiment of beauty. Why does she try to go beyond the point where they stopped? What about Rina Hikawa, Yuumi Kawachino, Makoto Toritani, and Ai Natsume? The thoughts of all humans intersect. [From Moe Game Awards]
