Overview

After-Rain Bookmark invites players into a heartwarming, all-ages Japanese school yuri visual novel. The story centers on Shizuku Shirakawa, a reserved member of the library committee, and her classmate Shiori Shiraishi. As the rainy season unfolds, preparations for the culture festival begin, and the old school building's music room becomes a backdrop for their developing relationship. A handmade bookmark, tucked away within the pages of a book, serves as a quiet catalyst, slowly bridging the distance between the two girls.

Shizuku finds comfort in meticulously organizing words, labels, and schedules, often hiding her true feelings within these structured arrangements. Shiori, in contrast, possesses a natural ease that allows her to gracefully cross the boundaries Shizuku sets.

However, Shiori also harbors her own unspoken worries. The narrative follows their journey as they collaborate on a small library project for the upcoming culture festival, a task that involves creating bookmarks, setting up displays, and gathering supplies from the dusty old music room.
