The Long Summer Of August 31 Volume. 5

THE NAME GAMEIn his mission to lose his virginity and break the August 31st time loop, Suzuki has gotten into the habit of going to his friends for advice on talking to women. One friend in particular, the pompadour-sporting Akabane, offers up an unconventional method: playing the classic dating sim Dokidoki Demorial. During their late-night gaming and brainstorming session, Suzuki becomes convinced that the key to intimacy lies not in perfect dates or the right mood, but in name-calling—specifically, first names! But will this bold move be enough to sweep Takagi off her feet?
