After the successes of his later visual novel works Tsukihime and Fate/stay night, Type-Moon announced that it was working on the story as its latest visual novel project, with further details of the project to be published in Type-Moon Ace. It was released on April 12, 2012.

PlotEdit

Near the end of the Shōwa era in the late 1980s, an old mansion is rumored to be the home of a witch. After moving into the mansion, Aoko Aozaki begins to learn sorcery from a young mage, Alice Kuonji, the rumored witch of the mansion. Unexpectedly, a young boy named Soichiro Shizuki is drawn to the mansion and comes to reside with them as well.

CharactersEdit

Aoko Aozaki - The protagonist of the story, a high school student who has just begun to learn sorcery after moving into an old mansion where a witch was rumoured to live.

Kuonji Alice - A natural born witch, the daughter of the elder son of the wealthy Kuonji family and a witch he fell in love with, who lives alone in a mansion. She is emotionally detached and self-abusive, thus she does not form relationships easily, but gradually comes to accept Aoko as a friend. She has been acquainted with the Aozaki family for over ten years and serves as Aoko's partner and teacher.

Soujuurou Shizuki - A young man from a rural location who is still adjusting to living in the city and as a normal high school student. He is quiet and reserved, but warm-hearted and stable in contrast to Aoko and Alice. He winds up living at the Kuonji mansion as well, despite Alice's attempts to drive him away by ignoring him, and Alice develops uncertain feelings toward him.

Touko Aozaki - Aoko's older sister, regarded as a genius magus in the Aozaki family, who believed that their magical lineage was dying out. She and Aoko don't get along particularly well. Alice enjoys Touko's company because she is a person who can truly understand Alice, though Alice does little to stop Aoko and Touko from fighting.

Tobimaru Tsukiji - A classmate of Aoko.

Kojika Kumari - A classmate of Aoko.

Housuke Kinomi - A classmate of Aoko.

Yuika Suse - A member of the Church.

Ritsuka Suse

Eiri Fumizuka - A member of the Church.

Lugh Beowulf - The antagonist of the story, an ageless nature spirit whose true form is a golden werewolf, though he appears as a fair-haired young boy. His existence is similar to the True Ancestors that appeared in Tsukihime. Other werewolves once revered him as the werewolf who would revive their race, but was ostracized and later sold to Touko Aozaki when it became apparent he was not a true werewolf.
