An alternate retelling of KEY’s classic work, Kanon, where it asks: what if Yuuichi DIDN’T lose all his memories of 7 years before? And what if he was really sarcastic?

After his long absence, Yuichi has forgotten almost everything except minor details of what happened seven years before and is in need of being reminded of what he left behind.

On the day after Yuichi's return, he is out with Nayuki who is showing him around town. Nayuki remembers that she has to buy things for dinner and Yuichi is reluctant to go with her, arguing that he might get lost. Moments after Nayuki left him waiting on the sidewalk, a strange girl named Ayu Tsukimiya barges into him with little warning. Upon recovering, she drags him away to a nearby café and confesses to inadvertently stealing a bag filled with taiyaki after being accidentally scared away by the salesman before she had a chance to pay. Yuichi then drags Ayu back to the salesman, they both apologize for the trouble, and Ayu is forgiven. They decide to meet up again another day and Ayu scampers off.

Yuichi is not aware at first, but three other girls which he had forgotten are familiar with him. Throughout the story, as he learns about the supernatural undertones of the town, Yuichi is reminded of each girl and the events of seven years ago in the city covered in snow.

From Anibebe: For centuries the Lee and Dai had shared a deep bond in the form of a master-servant relationship which gradually evolved into a strong friendship between the heirs of both families. Therefore true to tradition Dai Xiaodao (aka Dai Xiaoshuang) decides to assume the role of the manservant for Li Qingri (aka childhood friend) in place of her dead brother, Dai Dadao. To her chagrin, pretending to be a boy was but the tip of the iceberg in terms of the list of challenges that would come her way. On top of having to contain her secret love for Li Qingri who has become her roommate... what's the deal with that sinister-looking senpai (who's always flashing some fish at her) and that sweet-looking female classmate (who's really a carnivore in herbivore's clothing)! All that aside, what was that mysteriously beautiful scent that Dai Xiaodao got a whiff of when she bumped into the notorious Ye Weien at that secret path? Surely, no matter what the legend says, that obnoxious playboy could not be the man of her destiny!

When Chinatsu joined the student council, she found it wasn't nearly as cool as she had expected. The president just slept all the time, and the vice president just did paperwork. There was no fighting evil, no sex appeal... just normal school stuff. It's up to Chinatsu to liven things up!
