The female protagonist, blushing, quickly got up and began a new day, in a man's body...
The owner of this body was named Taki Tachibana, a high school student.
Although she was using someone else's body, Mitsuha finally truly experienced what it felt like to live in Tokyo.
Similar to when the male protagonist became the female protagonist before, this time the female protagonist became the male protagonist, a soul swap, unable to remember where the school was, or her own name.
The female protagonist forgot her lunchbox, and her lunch relied on the charity of her classmates.
And when she spoke, she had an accent, always saying 'renjia' (I/me in a cute way)~ which made the two male classmates next to her look at the female protagonist (who was now in a male body) with bewildered expressions...
She obviously felt something was off and quickly changed her way of speaking.
This part of the story was very interesting.
The whole process truly made Furukawa Hirozawa happy.
He couldn't stop laughing while playing the game.
He could finally confirm that the male and female protagonists had indeed swapped souls, and the female protagonist hadn't been reincarnated.
The female protagonist's home was in a rural town, and she had always dreamed of going to the big city of Tokyo, wishing to graduate early.
Now, inexplicably, she had become a rather handsome guy, and luckily was living in Tokyo. No matter how she thought about it, it felt like a dream...
So when her classmates asked if she wanted to go to a cafe, the female protagonist nodded excitedly, her eyes full of longing as she stared at the two male classmates beside her.
Speaking of which, can you imagine a man sitting with you, suddenly leaning over and looking at you with expectant eyes?
~It's such a strange feeling...
The female protagonist's appearance was now that of a boy, and she believed she was dreaming. She went to a cafe with her two male classmates to eat snacks and cakes, and drink delicious beverages.
Because it was a dream, she could enjoy herself to the fullest.
So she spent money freely.
Furukawa Hirozawa's lips curled up wildly; he felt sorry for the male protagonist's wallet and observed three seconds of silence.
At this moment, the male protagonist still didn't know that his body was occupied by the female protagonist, and what kind of life she was living...
The female protagonist even had time to sigh that the price of any snack at the cafe was enough for her to spend a month. However, because the female protagonist thought it was a dream, she didn't feel bad about spending the male protagonist's money at all.
The pleasant time was short-lived, and Mitsuha, now Taki Tachibana, found that she had to go to work.
At this point, another interesting plot twist occurred: the female protagonist, controlling the male protagonist's body, was working part-time at a Western restaurant when she encountered a wild hooligan... or rather, a rather ill-mannered customer who tried to dine and dash.
This customer was very rude, pointing at the pizza and saying there was a toothpick in it.
There really was one...
Alright, this customer was clearly trying to be unreasonable. The female protagonist, encountering this situation for the first time, was at a loss.
The customer exploded, slamming his fist on the table, his attitude extremely overbearing.
Fortunately, a beautiful older sister came out to help, telling the female protagonist to leave it to her, then gently pushed the female protagonist aside and negotiated with the rude customer, giving him a free meal...
The way the young lady handled it was very clever and pleased Furukawa Hirozawa greatly.
It's truly rare for Old Thief Furuhara's supporting characters to be designed with such memorable traits.
This can also be considered one of Furuhara Tsubaki's strengths; he doesn't overlook minor characters in the game but treats every character as a living person.
It's been like this since onmyoji, and this is one of the most important reasons Furukawa Hirozawa likes his works.
This customer was clearly looking for trouble, with a villainous face. Even after getting a free meal, he still felt it wasn't enough, and before leaving, he used a small knife to slash the skirt of the young lady, Miki Okudera.
Furukawa Hirozawa's temper flared.
Just like that? You deserve to be a supporting character your whole life.
If it were him, in reality, he would have probably used his fists long ago; why would he wait for him to do such dirty things?
Afterward, the (female) male protagonist felt very guilty, blushing, and suddenly took the older sister's hand, leading her into a small room.
Asking the older sister to take off her skirt...
Furukawa Hirozawa was stunned for a moment.
The female protagonist's body is a man's, hey!
The older sister was also bewildered at first, but the female protagonist said she wouldn't peek, and then this older sister actually agreed, hey!
Subsequently, the female protagonist demonstrated superb sewing skills, mending the hole in the older sister's skirt and decorating it with cute little grass.
"This is too strong, isn't it?"
Seeing this, Furukawa Hirozawa was astonished by this series of actions.
Indeed, girls understand girls best.
The female protagonist's flirting skills are amazing!
...
At the end of a busy day, the female protagonist, controlling this male body, returned home exhausted.
Just like the previous game mode, Furukawa Hirozawa could control this girl-inside-man-outside character to explore the surroundings, or go out and interact with NPCs in the vast city of Tokyo to trigger plotlines.
After searching, the female protagonist discovered that the owner of this male body had a habit of writing a diary in a notebook...
She gained a lot more understanding of the male protagonist.
So, the female protagonist casually wrote down today's incredible experience.
...
Around 11 PM, the female protagonist collapsed onto the bed, tired, and fell asleep.
The next morning, Taki, the male protagonist, opened his eyes in a daze.
At this point, Furukawa Hirozawa could clearly feel that this should be the original owner of the body; both his gaze and movements, as well as his way of speaking, were very masculine.
He couldn't help but admire Furuhara Tsubaki's meticulous grasp of male and female characters; it's difficult for an ordinary person to make players feel sufficiently immersed during such a switch.
It was quite remarkable.
Taki Tachibana, the male protagonist, scratched his head, feeling like he had a very strange dream, dreaming that he had turned into a woman.
However, the male protagonist opened his notebook, looked at his diary, and fell into confusion.
What the heck, what's going on?!
[Who touched my notebook? And wrote a diary?!]
It was clear that the handwriting was completely different from the male protagonist's, more delicate and graceful; one look and you could tell it was written by a girl.
[What do you mean 'I am a rather handsome guy'?]
Wait a minute, what did I do? I went home on the subway after work with my crush, Senior Okudera?
And what the heck is 'thanks to a girl's charm'?!
Hahahahaha...
Seeing this, Furukawa Hirozawa couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What a delightful experience!
He was playing the game himself, so he should have felt immersed, but for some reason, he found himself watching these events from a god's perspective, and even found it incredibly interesting.
...
The male protagonist shook his head and went to school.
He didn't know why,
Everyone's gaze was strange. The male protagonist's classmate even asked if he remembered the way to his part-time job?
His co-worker also questioned what he did after work yesterday with Senior Okudera?!
Senior Okudera's gaze towards the male protagonist carried a hint of affection!!
The male protagonist wondered, what exactly happened?
A male classmate suddenly blushed and said, "I think yesterday's Taki was quite cute..."
...
After the perspective switched...
On the other side, the female protagonist had just woken up and looked strangely at her younger sister. Her sister tilted her head, grinned, and asked unhappily~
[What's wrong, big sister? Not touching yourself today?!]
Eh—!!
The female protagonist was bewildered, blushing and at a loss.
...
This game was truly joyful to play.
One moment it's the female protagonist who has transformed into the male protagonist, the next it's the male protagonist's perspective who has transformed into the female protagonist.
Then they switch back the next day, and everyone has had embarrassing social death experiences.
Especially the reactions of the people around them, it was truly hilarious.
Throughout the entire game, Furukawa Hirozawa couldn't stop laughing.
The male and female protagonists discovered that this wasn't a dream; she and he would swap bodies two or three times a week.
Thus, various interesting plotlines began to unfold. The male and female protagonists started writing in notebooks and on their arms, making three rules.
[No showering, absolutely not!]
[Don't interfere with each other's lives.]
The male protagonist couldn't help but touch his transformed female self.
The female protagonist couldn't help but spend the male protagonist's money to buy delicious snacks at the cafe?
Girls kept confessing to the female protagonist, thinking she was very handsome.
The male protagonist found himself inexplicably on a date with his crush, Senior Okudera?!
Taki Tachibana conveyed messages to the female protagonist by writing in a diary.
Mitsuha discovered that her arm had many words written on it by the male protagonist...
male protagonist: [Don't just spend my money on things, hey, that's money I saved with great difficulty!]
Female protagonist: [How many times did you touch me?! Why does everyone say I've become very domineering lately, and girls are writing me love letters!]
Mitsuha said that although the money was spent, at least it went into the male protagonist's stomach.
The female protagonist complained that the male protagonist had too many part-time jobs.
The male protagonist expressed helplessness, saying, isn't it because you spent all my money on food...
Furukawa Hirozawa said that this was the first time he experienced the perspectives of both the male and female protagonists in a game, and he surprisingly enjoyed the 'dog food' (romantic interactions).
...
Days passed by.
Although the two had never met, a strange affection inexplicably grew between them. They cared for each other more and more, worried, and their thoughts gradually became tangled.
That's how people are.
Perhaps at first, they disliked each other, and they don't know when it started, but once that person resides in their heart, it can no longer accommodate a second.
The male protagonist originally liked his senior at work, but when it came time to actually go on a date with her, he hesitated.
It was at this moment that he realized he had already fallen in love with another girl.
A girl he was very familiar with, yet utterly strange.
Even now, Taki Tachibana didn't know her name.
In the summer, the female protagonist cut her long hair short and walked down the street wearing a yukata.
The fireworks festival must be approaching, right?
Furukawa Hirozawa guessed so.
Generally, Japanese girls only wear yukata during the Obon Festival or fireworks festivals in summer.
Unfortunately, she also couldn't accept another boy; she only hoped to meet the body from her dream.
At this moment, the female protagonist's two good friends (one male, one female) whispered to each other because she suddenly cut her hair short...
Just then, the BGM suddenly turned into a slightly melancholic piano piece.
Mitsuha looked up at the starry sky.
The sky darkened, a blue meteor streaked across the sky, the female protagonist's eyes sparkled faintly, fragments of the meteor flew by, and the music stopped...
...
Furukawa Hirozawa's smile also abruptly stopped.
His heart sank.
He didn't know why, but playing to this point, a very ominous premonition surged within him.
Damn it.
This feeling was really uncomfortable.
Although the script wasn't written by Gen Urobuchi, Furukawa Hirozawa smelled a hint of danger.
He finally realized something—
Gen Urobuchi's suspense and 'knife-throwing' (heartbreaking moments) were all learned from Old Thief Furuhara.
It's just that Furuhara Tsubaki's 'knife-throwing' is more natural.
Damn it...
It wouldn't really be like this, would it?
...
Perspective switch.
The male protagonist's face was grim. He tried to call the female protagonist's home, but it always prompted that the dialed number was out of service.
The female protagonist had previously used the male protagonist's body to invite his crush on a date.
Senior Okudera and the male protagonist went on a date, but the male protagonist was a novice and had no experience, resulting in a messy date.
The male protagonist, feeling upset and depressed, suddenly wanted to call the female protagonist, Mitsuha—but... was she out of service area?
The music gradually turned sad. Mitsuha never swapped souls with the male protagonist again; everything seemed like a dream.
The male protagonist couldn't help but paint the scene of the female protagonist's hometown from his dream...
...
The male protagonist decided to go find the female protagonist. Along the way, Senior Okudera and his male classmate best friend accompanied him, on the grounds that they were afraid he might be deceived...
After asking around, he accidentally learned the name of the place from two passersby.
Itomori Town!
Taki Tachibana finally remembered.
The female protagonist's location was Itomori Town!
But! But!!!
Itomori Town was destroyed three years ago by fragments of a fallen comet!!
Five hundred people lost their lives in this disaster...
At this point, Furukawa Hirozawa was extremely unsettled.
AI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-lite
Although he had prepared himself before playing, knowing that "this is a tear-jerker game," and had long expected Old Thief Furuhara to twist the knife, when it actually reached this point, he felt an inexplicable heartache.
Damn it!
That damned Old Thief Furuhara!
Why is he so good at twisting the knife?!
The beginning was so smooth, the plot so joyful, isn't it too much to twist the knife now?!
...
Are you kidding me?!
The male protagonist recalled the bits and pieces of happy, wonderful memories in his mind after turning into a girl...
Tachibana Taki silently took out his notebook; the diary entries written by Mitsuha were disappearing...
The list, that's right, go to the local area to find the list of deceased villagers of Itomori Town...
Mitsuha died three years ago, and her name... was clearly written on it...
How could this be... The male protagonist's heart must be very sad right now... Just two or three weeks ago, the female protagonist, Mitsuha, had said via her phone diary that she was going to watch the comet in a few days...
Wait a minute...
The comet from three years ago... Itomori Town destroyed by the comet...
This... The male protagonist fell into confusion, looking at the notebook, where the diary entries written by Mitsuha were now gone...
The sadness of the male protagonist Taki was beyond words...
Along with it, Furukawa Hirozawa's heart was also affected.
It felt as if he had been stabbed fiercely by someone.
His heart had been torn open, leaving a gaping hole.
Blood was flowing endlessly.
There was only an overwhelming sense of heartache, but not a single tear left.
Tachibana Taki suddenly fell into confusion...
"That girl who swapped souls with me... does she really exist... what is her name... what is her name..."
For some reason, the male protagonist forgot everything.
The music of the story amplified the sadness...
Atsushi Shirakawa's music naturally possessed a pure sound, as if sung by an angel.
However, the more subtle this sorrow was, the more painful it made one feel.
...
In the photo, it was originally Itomori Town, but only two large craters left by the falling meteorites remained.
They were circular, just like volcanic craters.
The water and sky intertwined, the scenery was as beautiful as a dream.
Yes, this was the place the male protagonist had dreamed of countless times.
But this time, it was displayed before his eyes so realistically.
Three years ago...
So that's how it was.
Furukawa Hirozawa suddenly remembered that the female protagonist had once risked everything, gathering the courage to take a train to Tokyo to see the male protagonist.
But, there was a three-year time difference between them!
The Taki from three years ago didn't know the female protagonist at all, so how could he accept her?
But...
Three years ago, when their trains crossed, the female protagonist gave the braided cord on her wrist to Tachibana Taki.
It was now clearly tied around his wrist.
Seeing this colorful cord, Furukawa Hirozawa felt an overwhelming sadness in his heart.
...
That damned Old Thief Furuhara!
How could it be like this?
He should have realized this sooner; Old Thief Furuhara is truly the god of twisting the knife.
...
However, this was not the end; on the male protagonist's wrist, the red braided cord, that cord was a gift from three years ago...
The male protagonist recalled something in his mind.
So he decided to go to Itomori Town again to investigate.
There was a place where the male protagonist had once swapped bodies with the female protagonist and gone with her younger sister and grandmother...
There, the grandmother told them about the deity enshrined at the shrine...
It was a basin surrounded by green grass, a shrine under a strange meteorite, beneath a huge, umbrella-like tree.
Legend had it that it was a basin created by a meteorite falling long ago, and inside was the "mouth-chewed sake" of Mitsuha and her sister—it was the place to offer the mouth-chewed sake to the deity...
Looking at the ruins of Itomori Town, the male protagonist, somehow, went to the place where the deity was enshrined, the cave beneath the meteorite.
Inside were the mouth-chewed sake of Mitsuha and her sister, Yotsuha, wrapped in moss.
In the sake bottle was the clear, transparent mouth-chewed sake... fermented for three years...
The male protagonist drank Mitsuha' mouth-chewed sake and prayed in his heart:
"If this is not a dream, then, oh deity, I beg you, at least... let me swap bodies with Mitsuha one more time..."
Taki leaned backward and immediately fainted.
Then, a hazy white light began to appear in the game; it was a hospital room, a woman with a weary face lying on the hospital bed, with a crying baby beside her pillow.
This baby's name was Mitsuha.
Subsequently, Mitsuha' mother gave birth to her younger sister, Yotsuha, and passed away due to illness...
Mitsuha' father sobbed silently in pain; when faced with the child's question about where Mommy had gone,
the father said, "I didn't protect her well..."
Mitsuha' father left the shrine and later became the mayor...
The grandmother had once argued with the father: "Why did you give up inheriting the shrine..."
The father replied angrily: "The person I loved was Futaba, not this shrine!"
The grandmother did not understand the father: "But you are a son-in-law who married into the family..."
The male protagonist struggled, yearning to wake up quickly.
Time and space flowed bit by bit in the male protagonist's mind.
Taki opened his hazy eyes, looking at that strange ceiling; it was a familiar feeling, even though it wasn't his home...
The younger sister opened the door, took one look, and asked with disgust:
"Ah! How much do you love your own body, Sister? Hurry up and go downstairs to eat—woah!!"
The younger sister let out a scream in fright.
At this moment, tears kept gushing from the male protagonist's eyes, snot flowed into his mouth, and his hands couldn't stop touching himself.
Then, crying and shouting, he crawled toward the younger sister.
When Furukawa Hirozawa played to this point, he was laughing until he couldn't stop crying.
Yes, this phrasing seemed strange, but it was a true reflection of his state.
The feeling of being able to start over again was truly wonderful.
Happiness, being moved, mixed with sadness, all turned into wild laughter while shedding tears.
Furukawa Hirozawa felt like he had a split personality.
Tortured to death by Old Thief Furuhara.
The younger sister, pale-faced, let out a scream, slammed the door shut, turned around, and ran down the stairs: "Grandma! Grandma!! Sister has finally gone crazy!"
...
The comet would arrive tonight, and the male protagonist had to save this town!
He wiped away his tears and told this to everyone around him!
But... no one believed him.
Fortunately, the female protagonist's two friends finally chose to believe the male protagonist.
The male protagonist was currently swapping bodies with the female protagonist...
Playing to this point, Furukawa Hirozawa only felt his blood boiling throughout his body.
However, was it really that easy?
Furukawa Hirozawa simply dared not believe it.
Because giving a good ending was almost impossible for Furuhara Tsubaki.
As expected, it was too difficult...
The male protagonist recalled a memory.
Three years ago, a young girl suddenly called his name: "Taki... do you still remember me..."
The red braided cord that the male protagonist Taki had worn on his wrist for three years was from the long hair of the female protagonist, Mitsuha...
Subsequently, the female protagonist cut her hair short, because the Taki from three years ago didn't know Mitsuha yet...
The male protagonist remembered that he had met the long-haired female protagonist three years ago.
At this moment, Tachibana Taki, controlling the female protagonist's body, went to the meteorite lake where he had drunk the mouth-chewed sake; he wanted to swap the current female protagonist back.
After Mitsuha woke up, she found that she had swapped bodies with the male protagonist Taki again; she walked out of the cave and found that her home, Itomori Town, had already been destroyed...
The male protagonist was running along the edge of the meteorite lake. Because it was a crater created by a meteorite, this meteorite lake looked like a huge basin. The male protagonist ran along the edge of the meteorite basin, running non-stop, calling out the female protagonist's name, Mitsuha.
The female protagonist, Mitsuha, also began to run, calling out the male protagonist's name, Taki.
The two ran non-stop, their voices crossing time and space, allowing them to hear each other, but they always only heard the voice without seeing the person...
Twilight arrived, and at this moment, the two brushed past each other, turned back to look, and embraced each other...
Taki said, "I'm sorry, because the me from three years ago didn't know you yet, so..."
The male protagonist was shy and bashful, returning the red braided cord he had worn for three years to the female protagonist...
The female protagonist, who had already cut her hair short, took the cord and wore it on her head...
Mitsuha asked in confusion: "How did you..."
Taki responded embarrassedly: "I drank your mouth-chewed sake..."
Nani?!
At the thought of "mouth-chewed sake," the female protagonist's face suddenly flushed red, and she covered her slightly opened small mouth with her fair, tender hand in surprise.
Eh~!
Pervert, big idiot...
At this time, the sky was gradually dimming, and there was not much time left for the two of them.
Once twilight passed, they would never be able to see each other again.
The male protagonist hurriedly suggested writing each other's names with a pen...
As a result, just after the male protagonist finished writing for the female protagonist, and was about to have her write for him...
The pen fell, and the female protagonist disappeared...
The male protagonist forgot everything...
The female protagonist began to think of ways to save Itomori Town with her friends.
During this process, everyone pooled their wisdom, and everyone played their part, and the female protagonist's father was now completely on her side.
Thus, everyone left the school to take refuge.
In the sky, the comet fell.
The golden light illuminated the entire starry sky as if it were daylight.
The female protagonist ran wildly all the way, but accidentally fell down.
At the same time, Mitsuha' memory of the male protagonist was also rapidly disappearing...
When she fell, she cried because she had forgotten the male protagonist's name.
Mitsuha recalled what the male protagonist had said—
They had previously used a pen to write their own names on each other's palms.
She hurriedly opened her palm, but—
On the female protagonist's hand was written— "I like you."
Mitsuha burst into tears of laughter, then said sadly— "In the end, I still don't know Your Name..."
Damn it!
Playing to this point, Furukawa Hirozawa felt like killing Old Thief Furuhara.
Is this male protagonist an idiot?
At such an important moment, he only thought about confessing?!
...
Fortunately, everyone in Itomori Town was saved.
After the male protagonist woke up, he found himself in the ruins of Itomori Town, completely forgetting what he was supposed to do, only that there seemed to be someone he couldn't forget...
Tachibana Taki couldn't help but watch the news about the comet in Itomori Town—everyone rescued, a miraculous survival, the mayor of Itomori Town's decisive order...
Except for not remembering the other person, not remembering "what happened in the dream,"
it seemed there was nothing wrong.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was five years later.
By this time, the male protagonist was already an office worker, having started working.
In his daily unchanging routine, the male protagonist boarded the train, leaning against the train door, his heart filled with sorrow.
And just at this moment, another train came from the opposite direction, and the two trains intersected on two tracks that were very close to each other.
The male protagonist on the train suddenly saw a girl on the opposite train.
Furukawa Hirozawa's heart skipped a beat.
Although she had matured a lot, he knew at a glance that this was Miyamizu Mitsuha.
The two of them hurriedly got off the station and then chased after each other.
On a flight of stairs, the male protagonist stood above, looking at Miyamizu Mitsuha below, but he couldn't remember her name no matter what.
He wanted to call out to her and say something, but he felt embarrassed.
The female protagonist had the same expression.
The two of them, one walking from top to bottom, the other from bottom to top.
They intersected, paused for a moment, but neither had the courage to speak, so they passed each other by.
Furukawa Hirozawa felt that his heart couldn't take it at all.
If he continued to be played by Old Thief Furuhara like this, he was afraid he would collapse.
...
Just then, the male protagonist suddenly turned his head and called out to Mitsuha.
"Hmm?"
Mitsuha turned around and stared blankly at him.
Taki said urgently, "Wait a minute... I feel like I've met you before..."
"Me too..."
The young girl was in tears for some reason.
The two smiled at each other and asked simultaneously:
"Excuse me... Your Name?"
...
[THE END]
The game stopped abruptly here.
The beautiful BGM began to play.
After about ten seconds, Furukawa Hirozawa suddenly realized—
Eh?!
This is actually a happy ending?!
Old Thief Furuhara actually didn't twist the knife?!
Did the sun rise from the west?
