MangaGamer describes Da Capo as:
On the island of Hatsune, cherry blossoms remain in bloom all year round. While there are those who study these mysterious cherry blossoms, most people lead normal, everyday lives. Even though these cherry blossoms are forever blooming, their lives are still the same.
In the middle of such a normal world lies Kazami Academy. At this school there is a young boy who is far from ordinary, yet far from extraordinary. He possesses two mysterious powers: the power to produce Japanese sweets out of nowhere and the power to see other people’s dreams.
A school idol who loves Japanese sweets, a nagging, yet spoiled little sister, an absent minded upperclassman, a loud childhood friend who always appears in his dreams, and an energetic junior who is nicknamed “puppy dog,” all attend Kazami Academy with him.
As graduation approaches, they finally meet, and their heartwarming love story begins.
The Da Capo series includes multiple numbered mainline games and fan discs, with a recent entry being 2023’s Da Capo 5. The series spawned from a scenario in 2001’s Archimedes no Wasuremono, a fan disc for the visual novel Suika.
Da Capo inspired two anime seasons, and Da Capo 2 and Da Capo 3 have also received anime adaptations.
