Development and release history The characters' ages were altered as part of the process of translation from Japanese to English. The main male character and most of the girls were originally sixteen and in the first year of high school, with only the two characters in third year being age 18. However, in order to avoid controversy over the sex scenes involving these girls who were younger than the American age of consent, JAST changed the ages to 18 for first years and 20 for the third years, claiming that the game's Kotobuki Preparatory School was a special institution for students who'd finished school. In spite of the translation efforts, the first interactive selection prompts the following text: "I'm Shuji Yamagami, sixteen years old."
