PRIMAL HEARTS: STORY
"So, which one are you gonna join?"
Spring—a season of new encounters. As I walk beneath the cherry blossoms, my heart races in anticipation of my new life. Until students start approaching me a short distance from the campus gate...
"It's gotta be Gekka, right? Tradition is so important!"
"But Tendo's all about innovation. Trust me, we have more fun!"
Ainoshima Academy's two student councils don't quite get along, but before I transferred here they were splitting the student vote dead-even. Now I'm the tiebreaker. That's why everyone is vying to sway my swing ballot.
"Together, let's inspire every student to rise to bigger and better things!"
"You'll be working with our side, though, right?!"
This place was supposed to be my verdant island of love! All I see in the cards is desertion and disappointment—I'll be letting down half the students no matter which side I choose!
With the expectations of two very vocal student factions on my shoulders, how am I going to pick one without ruining my chances at campus romance?

PRIMAL HEARTS 2: STORY
"Welcome to campus!"
Going on my big sister's recommendation, I've transferred to Ainoshima Academy! With summer break over, a new semester of fall events awaits. There's the annual academy festival, the sports meet—the list goes on! As I walk to class on my first day, my heart races in anticipation at what my new campus life will be like. That is, until students start approaching me a short distance from the campus gate... You see, Ainoshima Academy has two student councils that are always vying against each other. Here, let me break it down for you real quick:
Gekka Council: Steeped in history and tradition, Gekka is as old as the academy itself. Its supporters wear uniforms featuring flowing, dark-green skirts for added noblesse.
Gekka President Alicetia: "Join Gekka... Let's be friends..."
Tendo Council: Tendo is a more progressive student council that was formed after Gekka. Its supporters prefer a dress style that incorporates the latest in uniform chic, including burgundy bolero jackets, pleated miniskirts, and neckties.
Tendo President Usagi: "Join Tendo—let's get this academy inspired!"
Meanwhile, various student associations have turned the school's voting system into the primary front of a proxy war, with the sports teams supporting Gekka and the liberal arts clubs backing Tendo. Before I transferred, the student vote was split evenly between them, which means my vote will be the one that decides who gets the majority! Word has it that a similar deadlock happened six years ago, and it was a transfer student who broke it. Coincidence, huh? Anyway, as you can imagine, since day one of me moving here, neither faction will give me a moment's peace! This isn't how my sister said it would be at all...?!
Gekka Vice President Mashiro: "I wish the sports kids and liberal arts kids could just get along."
Tendo Secretary Tateha: "With your vote, something might actually change around here."
I was planning to live my new campus life in peace, but as the academy's 777th student, the entire student population is watching my every move. Being 777 might sound like the jackpot, but the way things are going, I just might be the unluckiest kid here...
With two student councils to deal with, plus the infighting between the clubs behind them, my new life at Ainoshima Academy is already off to a challenging start!
