Waiting for you after school - Part One Released!

Waiting for you after school but you're not there. Waiting for you after school because I care about you.

After Summer vacation, Mark, a delinquent teen, is on the verge of dropping out of high school. After receiving help from his childhood friend, Cherry, he discovers she isn't who she seems.

This visual novel's story has been on mind for the past couple of years and reflects a lot on my own personal high school experiences and struggles. I wanted to write a story that could touch on some of the sensitive themes and issues I've had in my life using the visual novel format by exploring the art and characters. Photography was a major part of my artistic journey in high school, especially with experimental techniques, so I wanted to return to that inspiration for the background visuals. The character style is also inspired from my high school sketchbooks and my art style back then. Though parts of the story is not completely true to life, I still wanted it to have some of the emotions I felt during a vulnerable period within a new context.

I hope you enjoy the story, art, writing, and and music in this new visual novel. Thank you so much for everyone's current, past, and future support! ♥ ~~Bella
