The sequel to the first ''[[Da Capo]]'', '''''Da Capo II''''' is set two generations, approximately 53 years after the events of ''[[Da Capo]]''.

The sakura tree that Sakura Yoshino's grandmother had planted was again in bloom. The main protagonist is Yoshiyuki Sakurai, a second year student at Kazami Academy. Much like Junichi in ''[[Da Capo]]'', he is surrounded by his friends, [[Those Two Guys|two of which are male]], Wataru and Suginami, and he can also see other people's dreams. He had a friendly relationship with Yume and Otome Asakura, granddaughters of Nemu and Junichi. Yoshiyuki lives in Sakura's home, and she is now the principal of Kazami Academy. His childhood friend, Koko Tsukishima, confesses to him in the first episode and he accepts. He also accidentally awakens a robot, Minatsu Amakase, who hates all humans.

Line 26:

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]] - Oh so much.

** Subverted or zigzagged or something with Anzu though. {{spoiler|She starts off with some sort of memory problem, then wishes to the cherry tree to be able to have a memory as good or better than her classmates and gets it. However, she can't forget bad things at all and wishes she didn't have her memory. But then when the cherry tree dies again and her memory returns to normal, she's incredibly broken up about it.}}

* [[Big Fancy House]] - Mizukoshi makes a comment about growing up in one, since she's clearly related to [[The Ojou~~|The Ojous~~]] of the first Da Capo, Moe and Mako. {{spoiler|Anzu}} also lives in one...entirely alone.

* [[Big Fancy House]] - Mizukoshi makes a comment about growing up in one, since she's clearly related to [[The Ojou]]s of the first Da Capo, Moe and Mako. {{spoiler|Anzu}} also lives in one...entirely alone.

* [[Bishoujo Series]] - It's a [[Dating Sim]] like its [[Da Capo|prequel.]]

* [[Bishounen]] - Suginami. The new one (Who looks identical to the previous).

Line 54:

* [[Childhood Friend Romance]] - Koko is one of the heroines and has like Yoshiyuki for years. Wataru in turn likes her, but, well, he's not the protagonist.

* [[Childhood Friends]] - Part of the drama of Koko's route is based around the fact that Yoshiyuki, Wataru and Koko are all childhood friends. Wataru likes Koko who likes Yoshiyuki, and from there it gets complicated as attempts are made to limit the emotional fallout.

* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]] - The never withering sakura tree is the physical embodiment of this. However, {{spoiler|it is exactly this in ''[[Da Capo II]]'', as it also grants impure wishes.}}

* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]] - The never withering sakura tree is the physical embodiment of this. However, {{spoiler|it is exactly this in ''Da Capo II'', as it also grants impure wishes.}}

* [[Class Representative]] - Maya

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] - Otome, after she and Yoshiyuki start dating in her route. Even beforehand she tended to adhere to him like glue with no sense of shame, but afterwards, the jealous part kicks in. Nanaka also.

Line 100:

* [[Friendly Enemy]] - Suginami and Mayuki have a relationship something like this. It occasionally seems to even border on [[Foe Yay]].

* [[The Gadfly]] - Despite being Junichi's expy, it's not Yoshiyuki. Instead, the title of series troll was passed down to Anzu instead.

* [[Gag Boobs]] - Some of the ladies of [[Da Capo II]] are pretty well stacked (Koko, Mizukoshi...), but Akane tops them all easily.

* [[Gag Boobs]] - Some of the ladies of '''Da Capo II''' are pretty well stacked (Koko, Mizukoshi...), but Akane tops them all easily.

* [[Gaiden Game]] - There are 3 without crossover: ''Spring Celebration'' for girls in original game, ''To You'' as some prequel, and ''Fall in Love'' for girls added in ''Plus Situation/Plus Communication''. Put them together with original game, and you have complete four seasons!

* [[Gainaxing]] - Apparently Akane's voluptuousness is such that the narration in the [[Visual Novel]] often feels the need to explicitly point out she's doing this, since being illustrated with static images leaves [[Show, Don't Tell|no way of showing this.]]

Line 134:

* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]] - "Oh God, please! Let me make a different decision! [[Save Scumming|I want to go back to a few minutes ago!]]"

* [[Lethal Chef]] - Yume seems to have inherited Nemu's bad cooking; however, just like Nemu, she improves drastically after one season.

* [[~~Little~~ ~~Sister~~ ~~Heroine~~]] - Yume. A clear expy of [[Da Capo|Nemu]], she remains a definite tsundere type and is largely differentiated by being less of a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]].

* [[Younger Sibling Fetishization]] - Yume. A clear expy of [[Da Capo|Nemu]], she remains a definite tsundere type and is largely differentiated by being less of a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]].

* [[Living Emotional Crutch]] - A mild example, but early in Otome's path it becomes clear Yoshiyuki is the reason she doesn't break down from stress.

* [[Love Triangle]] - Multiple examples. Nanaka -> Yoshiyuki <- Koko, Wataru -> Koko -> Yoshiyuki and Otome -> Yoshiyuki <- Yume are probably the three best examples. Anzu does apologize under her breath to Koko when confessing to Yoshiyuki in her own route, but Koko never makes any fuss over it there.

Line 171:

* [[Robot Girl]] - Minatsu.

* [[Sadistic Choice]] - {{spoiler|Otome eventually has to choose between withering the sakura tree, causing Yoshiyuki to disappear as his existence was a result of a wish it granted, or allow it to live and continue granting malicious wishes that harmed the people of the island.}}

* [[School Idol]] - Nanaka and Otome. Yes, TWO [[School Idol~~|School Idols~~]], in case one wasn't enough for you.

* [[School Idol]] - Nanaka and Otome. Yes, TWO [[School Idol]]s, in case one wasn't enough for you.

* [[Selective Obliviousness]] - After awhile in Nanaka's route, a few people call Yoshiyuki out on not noticing [[Love Triangle|the situation]], leading the the impression that he really just doesn't want to have to choose between the two or think about it at all. It's debatable, though, due to later events in the story.

* [[The Seven Mysteries]] - One event in the game features a [[Test of Courage]], based on these mysteries.

Line 196:

* [[Third-Act Stupidity]] - Koko's route requires Yoshiyuki to become very, very stupid and insensitive. While neither is entirely out of character, he takes it to a whole new level.

* [[Third Person Person]] - Minatsu.

* [[Time Skip]] - ''[[Da Capo II]]'' takes place 53 years after the events of ''[[Da Capo]]''.

* [[Time Skip]] - '''''Da Capo II''''' takes place 53 years after the events of ''[[Da Capo]]''.

* [[Token Mini-Moe]] - Anzu, though as she notes she's not as much of one as Sakura. While her [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|clothing emphasizes it]] it turns out she's actually not ''that'' underdeveloped.

** Hilariously, Sakura is the [[Older Than They Look|oldest]] member of the cast, but ''still'' looks like she should be the youngest.
