Loca-Love My Commuting Crush

Loca-Love is a kinetic visual novel (without any branching routes) with art by nanaca mai, of Corona Blossom and Grisaia fame, and a story by Japanese writer Hozumi Kei, famous for his sweet and romantic love stories. It follows the exciting but slightly awkward love life of protagonist Aoi Ichitaro after circumstances bring him closer to the girl on the train that he's always had a crush on.

Aoi Ichitaro's easy ten-minute commute has been ruined by a domestic disaster that leaves him traveling an hour each way to and from school. It might sound rough, but every cloud has a silver lining - in this case, a girl called Aritagawa Nio.
The most beautiful girl in class, the cool and aloof Nio seems completely unapproachable. But now, traveling on the same train with her every day, Ichitaro might just have the chance to make his relationship with her become something more than a crush.
At first his attempts to talk to her come to nothing, but one day he finds her lying ill on a bench at the station and helps her home. Her attitude toward him starts to gradually change...

"Y-You just happened to sit down next to me. It's not like I was waiting for you or anything."

Their relationship starts to pick up speed like a runaway train, and they end up in all manner of scrapes on their way to and from school.
But throughout, there's one thing Nio won't allow - She absolutely refuses to be Ichitaro's girlfriend, no matter how far they end up going!
The pair barrel down the tracks of love, sometimes threatening to go off the rails.
Where exactly will their journey take them?
