STORY
Spring is almost here! Strolling down a street paved with pastel tiles, the sun warms my back as pigeons flock by the roadside. Amid this everyday scenery, it’s another ordinary morning, with just a soft whisper of spring on the wind.
“It’s a little warmer again today, huh?” Akari pipes up as she turns her eyes to me, her bangs swaying gently in the breeze. “I guess winter’s over.”
“I guess it is,” I answer offhandedly, and Akari giggles. I don’t know why.
ToHeart is a “heartful,” heartfelt, and comedic multiple-ending visual novel. The protagonist is an utterly ordinary young man, but his friends Akari, Masashi, and Shiho make every day a happy one.
As winter turns to spring and March turns to April, the wind also carries a whisper of love.
ToHeart remake is set to launch globally for Windows PC (via Steam) on June 26th, 2025, and will support Japanese, English, and Chinese languages. It remains unclear if the previously announced Switch release will get a western version, which launches the same day.
