Summary

Winter Fragments is a cute slice of life visual novel with light yuri undertones about a couple of best friends set in 2001. It’s a nostalgic, sentimental story about the joys of creating: particularly when it’s done with a dear friend.

Storyline

Hijikata Saku, the heroine of our story, loves three things in life: delicious food (especially beef tongue), pretty boys from otome games (especially Touya from First Life), and hanging out with her friends (especially her childhood friend, Shima Chisato). Saku hasn’t seen Chisato in a while, however, since they started attending high school. Chisato is a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family, and she winds up attending the prestigious all-girls’ school, St Cecilia’s, while Saku goes to the distinctly less glamorous Hitotsuba. Saku’s very excited, therefore, when Chisato invites her to her family’s home for a sleepover during Christmas break. Saku’s determined to eat a lot of Mrs Shima’s delicious cooking, play a lot of fun otome games on Chisato’s cutting edge PC, and generally have a blast. Chisato has an ulterior motive, however, behind inviting Saku over: one more serious than chowing down on beef tongue and drooling over fictional men. While searching on the world wide web, Chisato stumbles across a website populated by creators of niche indie visual novels, which gives her an idea. What if she and Saku pool together their talents and make a visual novel of their own?
