Dōkyūsei Bangin Summer v09052025

Dōkyūsei Bangin Summer is a warm, sometimes cheeky coming-of-age dating sim that drops you into the last months before graduation. After spending the first half of summer earning money, the protagonist decides to blow his savings and, over the course of just three weeks, tries to meet, learn about, and romance one of a dozen-plus women. The remake preserves the classic 1992 dating-sim structure while adding HD artwork, optional modern conveniences, and a global release for the first time.

Gameplay leans into the traditional visual-novel / dating-sim loop: manage your time, choose where to go and who to spend time with, and follow branching routes that reveal each character’s story. The tone mixes comedy with genuine moments of character growth, making it as much a short dramatic slice-of-life as a romance game. The remake is based on the 2021 Japanese remaster and keeps the spirit of the original while polishing presentation and adding quality-of-life options.

Characters are the real draw - each route offers a different personality and stakes. Highlights include:
- Mai Sakuragi: a sheltered, high-manners rich girl hiding fierce determination.
- Misa Tanaka: an energetic track-team ace who’s competitive and passionate.
- Satomi Kurokawa: a childhood friend who’s friendly yet quietly distant lately.
- Miho Suzuki: shy broadcasting-club member with a soft crush.
- Kurumi Nishina: the overprotected-girl caught between ideals of "purity" and real feelings.
- Ako and Mako Saitou: sisters with contrasting roles (the innocent younger Ako and the beloved campus clinic doctor Mako).
- Kaori Naruse: a bold hostess with a loud personality.
- Yayoi Kusanagi: a mysterious, professional nurse.
- Plus other varied characters-students, coworkers, a teacher, and a housewife-each with their own route and emotional beats.
