The show's staff has also revealed a new key visual:
The story revolves around Haruka and Yū, two girls who go to a high school that is slated to be shut down in three years. To share "something special" between them, they share a kiss, and their relationship deepens from that moment onward.

Yuka Iguchi (Monogatari Series Second Season, Haganai, Ro-Kyu-Bu!) will play Yū Sonoda


Yuuka Aisaka will play Kotone Noda, a stylish girl who lives with the family of her good friend Shizuku (her own family members are celebrities)


Hiromi Igarashi will play Shizuku Minami, Kotone's good friend who is somewhat shy among others


Mai Fuchigami will play Kaede Ikeno, Yuzu's close friend who lives at her own relaxed pace, but is still a reliable member of the class council


Megumi Toda will play Yuzu Iizuka, a cheerful, chatty girl who is good friends with Kaede


Ken'ichi Ishikura (D.C.III ~Da Capo III~, Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu, Natsu no Arashi! Akinai-chū) is directing the series and is handling the series composition at Studio DEEN. Kyuta Sakai (Humanity Has Declined, Steins;Gate, When They Cry - Higurashi) is designing the characters.
