i”The Sasami Report
In this country, gods reside within everything. There are said to be a countless number of gods. They exist not only in pebbles rolling the streets, but in buildings and other works of man, in animals and grass, and even in physical phenomena, such as weather. Gods dwell in all things known to man and control them. Among these gods, there is a hierarchy. A god of higher rank has control over gods of lower ranks and may make them change their forms as he sees fit. This is known as /iTransformation. The supreme god at the top of this hierarchy, who rules over all other gods, is Amaterasui. All gods change their forms as Amaterasu wishes through Transformations, shaping the world exactly as the supreme god wants it. And that was the great power I inherited, I maintained, and I held control of.
However… At this point in time, the power of Amaterasu belongs to my brother, of all people. One could say he is currently the supreme god. That is why, when he wishes for something, the many other gods seeking his favor, often undergo Transformations. The Valentine`s Day disaster the other day was one such instance. To serve his desires, those gods changed my body into chocolate and urged him to consume it. Fortunately, the Yagami sisters — Tsurugi, Kagami, and Tama — stepped in and suppressed the Transformations. I am not clear on exactly what they are, but what is clear is that they can wield divine powers of high-ranking gods. It appears that I will need to keep them under surveillance along with my brother. That is all.”/i — Tsukuyomi Sasami
A hikikomori (a recluse) named Sasami is unmotivated about even changing clothes or eating. Her brother, Kamiomi takes care of her, even though she despises his submissive, slave-like nature. Sasami spends her days viewing the outside world via a Brother Surveillance Tool on her computer. In the outside world, the three beautiful Yagami sisters — Kagami, Tama, and Tsurugi — and Sasami`s brother are in the middle of relationships worthy of note though…

The newly hired homeroom teacher, Genkoku, at Seishou Academy discovers that the female middle school students all have excellent marksmanship skills… and happen to be anthropomorphised international assault rifles:
There is short-tempered Funko (FNC, manufactured in Belgium`s Fabrique Nationale), the proud, accurate Shigu (SIG SG550, Switzerlands`s SIG company), the pitiful Eru (L85A1, UK`s Royal Small Arms Factory), and the foul-mouthed, but caring Ichiroku (M16A4, American company, Colt) and Funko`s best friend.
Reading various quite ominous signs in the academy`s hallways: “Keep chamber empty in the school building”, “Do not fire in the hallway”, and “Keep your safety on at all times!” Genkoku is starting to wonder, what he is getting himself into.

Two side stories for the To Heart 2 series.
1) Scars of Memories: Takaaki has recently lost his memory, and the girls do everything possible to help fill in the gaps with more or less pleasant memories while keeping him from remembering what happened. Within this, Tamaki seems to have a specific memory that she holds dear involving a particular letter.
2) Happy New Year: Takaaki and his group of female friends visit the shrine and spend the night until the first sunrise of the new year together. They get fortune cookies whose (mostly negative) predictions all turn out to come true in a strange way; the only one with a positive luck is Yuma whose luck poem tells her she will “fall in love with someone close to her whom she didn`t see with much interest before”… could that be Taka-kun, her “eternal enemy”?

Close enough that Makoto braves asking Katsura out on a date. And she agrees. Later that day, Makoto finds a quiet moment to express his thanks for all support that Sekai has offered him, and makes clear his intent on finding a way to repay her kindness. But he is totally unprepared and very surprised at the reward that Sekai has chosen. Sekai steals a long kiss from his lips, before breaking away to run for the train. Sekai turns and wishes Makoto well on his date.

* Based on the shounen manga by URL=Hattori Mitsuru/URL, serialised in Weekly Shounen Magazine.
Within the Kanagawa prefecture lies the seaside city of Umineko. There, Okiura Kaname, a 2nd year high school student, attends Umineko Shougyou High School (or “Umisho” for short). He is also the manager of Umisho`s swim team though he himself does not know how to swim. In fact, he is afraid of the water stemming from an incident which occurred some years ago. While he was at the beach, he had nearly drowned when a “mermaid” pulled him under the water. He joined the school`s swimming club in order to learn how to swim, but the club is filled with weirdos, who don`t teach him swimming.
One day, a floating house arrives at the shores of Umisho bearing two persons. One of these is a cheerful, sunny, happy-go-lucky girl named Ninagawa Amuro, a transfer student to Umisho, and the other is her father. Her incredible swimming speed makes her an instant hit with the swimming club, but Okiura is surprised, as she reminds him of the mermaid he saw only once in his early childhood. After her floating house is destroyed during a storm she moves to Kaname`s house.
The fictional island, where the series is set, is modeled on the real island of Enoshima in Fujisawa, Kanagawa.
