Dwango Release[]

Two new arcs, Niesagashi-hen and Kokorokuzushi-hen, were released by Dwango in 2007 as part of the Top 100 Mobile Games (携帯ゲーム百選) service.[2] Notably, they were released when the first two anime series by Studio DEEN were airing and use their art style and logos instead of those of the visual novel releases. The production teams of the animations were credited along with Ryukishi07 as a result.
