Starry Sky

"'''I remember every time season come around precious day all of us laugh

stars read to the our time, bright forever without fading

layer heart, and hold this moment

lot of love for you.'''"

Starry Sky (more commonly spelled Starry☆Sky) is an Otome Game developed by Honeybee in 2009 for PC platform.

In this game, you are Tsukiko Yahisa (or whichever name you want, actually), the first and only female student to enroll in Seigatsu Academy, an astronomy school. The series features 12 good looking young men (3 per game), each of them representing an astrology sign. So far, four games have been released, each named after a season:
 * Starry Sky ～in Spring～ (released March 27, 2009): Capricorn, Pisces and Cancer
 * Starry Sky ～in Summer～ (released June 26, 2009): Taurus, Scorpio and Sagittarius
 * Starry Sky ～in Autumn～ (released September 25, 2009): Gemini, Leo and Libra
 * Starry Sky ～in Winter～ (released December 25, 2009): Aquarius, Aries and Virgo

A 5th game, "After Spring", has been announced for August 27, 2010 and will feature the ～in Spring～ cast. An anime adaptation was released on December 23, 2010. There are more planned, one "After X"-game for each season.

Each character has his own Drama CD, which were released throughout the year 2009. Japanese only. There is now a Starry Sky Character sheet which has just been added.

This game provides examples of:
"And : "Thank you", I wanted to tell only it. - Capricorn
 * Audio Erotica: The Drama Cds.
 * Adaptation Distillation: Ten minutes per episodes, twenty minutes per route. You see where this is going.
 * Possibly justified, since the anime is likely treated as an advertisement for the games, which are just there to give more context to the Drama CDs.
 * Which maybe makes it some form of Adaptation Expansion as well. Well, the "expansion" part of the trope.
 * Anguished Declaration of Love: Every love interest in the series.
 * Anime Accent Absence: Yoh, despite having spent most of his childhood in France, uses a flawless and remarkably precise Japanese, and can even get witty at times.

 * Genius Ditz: Tsubasa.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: Suzuya
 * Happily Ever After: The true ends.

 * Ho Yay: You'd have to be blind not to see it.
