Update: May 16, 2008
«©NCSX» In the Spring of 2006, Aquaplus released Nanatsuiro Drops for the Japanese PC and found a willing and receptive audience. Since then, the game has made the round trip to novellas, manga, animation, and back to video game conversions on the PS2 and now, the Nintendo DS. The adult content from the PC original has been wiped out but the main characters, storyline, and themes remain. Nanatsuiro Drops follows the story of a glasses-wearing lad named Masaharu Tsuwabuki who's a withdrawn and congenial middle school student. Through a conspiracy of events, Masaharu is transformed into a plush toy that looks like a ram. The NDS adventure follows the events of the animated series and features five mini-games as follows: Gardening (watering plants, whacking moles, and weeding), Counting animals as they fall from the top screen to the touch screen, Math problems administered by Natsume Kisaragi, Falling Star rhythm action, and a Fishing Trip where Masaharu and Sumomo cooperate to catch brown-colored fish.

NCS Animation Synopsis
» One day while thinking about his anti-social self, Masaharu bumps into a girl named Sumomo Akihime who drops a crimson watering can and splashes water all over him. After the initial shock and a bout of Sumomo's weeping, the impromptu meeting is broken up by a girl named Nako Yaeno who threatens Masaharu with a pointy weapon. A teacher named Natsume Kisaragi intervenes and the misunderstanding is soon cleared up with Masaharu being forced into the school's gardening club which currently only has two members - Sumomo and Nako. Natsume Kisaragi's gift to Masaharu for joining is a can of soft drink. Masaharu's first job is to put together the club's sprinkler system so that the plants can get some liquid goodness. After his work, Masaharu cleans up and walks outside when a green-haired clown named Arthur who's carrying an armload of soft drink cans crashes into Masaharu. Masaharu notices his cat ears but Arthur brushes the comment away with proclamations of cosplay. Arthur gathers up the cans of fallen soda and hands one back to Masaharu. The wrong one. Masaharu drinks from the can and as the sun begins to set, he finds himself transformed. In the next scene, Sumomo picks him up. Masaharu has been changed from student to baby ram plush toy. As the plot thickens, we learn that in order to transform back into a human boy, his chosen girl (in this case, Sumomo) must collect Seven Star Drops with the help of a ring which emits a laser-like beam of red light. For their first Star Drop, Sumomo and the newly named ram doll she calls Yuki-chan follow it to a once-defunct fountain near her school. The Star Drop apparently is attracted to water. After some difficulty, the drop is bottled inside a container where it changes into red liquid. From there, the newly formed duo endeavor to capture six more Star Drops. This document is ©NCSX 2008.
