Summary:
The story is set in the distant mountain village of Okukozome-chou. Haruka Kazugano and his twin sister Sora have fond childhood memories of going to the village to visit their grandfather during their summer vacations. However, after losing their parents in an accident, the two must move in with their grandfather.
The twins get reacquainted with their old childhood friend Nao Yorihime, their new classmate Ryouhei Nakazato, the shrine maiden Akira Amatsume, and Akira's friend Kazuha Migawa. All seems peaceful and familiar. However, beneath the surface is a secret promise that the twins made with each other long ago, the whereabouts of an important lost item, and the real reason they chose to come back here.
Well....I'll start by saying that this anime does not follow the description. I can only surmise that there is more to the story than we get here. But with that being what it is, this anime feels much more like I'm watching an eroge (japanese erotic game) made into an anime.
The story is fragmented representing each of the various story arcs for the main character "winning" with each of the girls. As a result there is no continuity between these little arcs and the tough part is that the anime does not indicate when a new arc starts. So, you just have to roll with it until the "ah ha...new arc" moment hits.
The animation itself is pretty good, while I found the dialog to be somewhat lacking. But given the source material, it's understandable. There are erotic scenes but for the most part those are when the main character completes a story arc and "wins" with the current girl.
It's an "ok" anime....definitely not a watch if you don't like the brother / sister love part, or don't like erotic scenes.
If you just want something different and are curious about how an eroge could play out....then it's worth watching.
