Starry Sky (more commonly spelled Starry☆Sky) is an Otome Game developed by Honeybee in 2009 for PC platform.In this game, you are Tsukiko Yahisa (or whichever name you want, actually), the first and only female student to enroll in Seigatsu Academy, an astronomy school. The series features 12 good looking young men (3 per game), each of them representing an astrology sign. So far, four games have been released, each named after a season:
Starry Sky ～in Spring～ (released March 27, 2009): Capricorn, Pisces and Cancer
Starry Sky ～in Summer～ (released June 26, 2009): Taurus, Scorpio and Sagittarius
Starry Sky ～in Autumn～ (released September 25, 2009): Gemini, Leo and Libra
Starry Sky ～in Winter～ (released December 25, 2009): Aquarius, Aries and Virgo
A 5th game, "After Spring", has been announced for August 27, 2010 and will feature the ～in Spring～ cast. An anime adaptation was released on December 23, 2010. There are more planned, one "After X"-game for each season.Each character has his own Drama CD, which were released throughout the year 2009. Japanese only. There is now a Starry Sky Character sheet which has just been added.
This game provides examples of:
Adaptation Distillation: Ten minutes per episodes, twenty minutes per route. You see where this is going.
Possibly justified, since the anime is likely treated as an advertisement for the games, which are just there to give more context to the Drama CDs.
Which maybe makes it some form of Adaptation Expansion as well. Well, the "expansion" part of the trope.
Anime Accent Absence: Yoh, despite having spent most of his childhood in France, uses a flawless and remarkably precise Japanese, and can even get witty at times.
Dead Little Sister: Iku Mizushima, after the death of his twin sister, ended up losing his trust in everyone.
Can't Hold His Liquor: Tsukiko's teacher Haruki Naoshi gets hyper pretty fast when he had some liquor. And the school nurse, Hoshizuki Kotarou, falls asleep after having too much.
Hello, Insert Name Here: You can change Tsukiko's name to whatever you want, as the game seiyuu have found ways around saying the protagonist's actual name to prevent breaking the illusion.
Happily Married: The premise behind Seiza Danna (Constellation Husband).
The Nicknamer: Tsubasa. Everyone has a nickname. EVERYONE.
Except for Azusa, who is just... "Azusa" to him.
Or Shiki, whom he also just calls Kagurazaka.
Oblivious to Love: Somehow, Tsukiko fails to notice that 12 hot guys are in love with her.
It get worse (better?) that in After Spring, two (three?) more candidates appeared. And After Summer adds the Idiot Trio, After Autumn a bunch of Tsukiko's classmates and in After Winter finally Ophiuchus will be added, probably with more side-characters as potential males again.
Off Model : The anime has more QUALITY than Mrs. Fields.
Stalker with a Crush: There are three choice points in Spring where you can leave your dorm. Two out of three are to just walk outside your dorm room. Suzuya is always there. Always.
Twincest: Slightly hinted in the relationship between Iku and his twin sister, probably onsided on Iku's part because his sister was in love with Kotaro. He views her as the ideal partner that he already lost in the beginning.
Two Guys and a Girl: Kanata, Suzuya and Tsukiko are childhood friends ... and as it turns out, Tsukiko was also friends with Yoh as a child, although she forgot all about it.
Western Zodiac: The personalities of each original bachelor (13) are partly supposedly based on the signs' personality traits.
Yandere: Suzuya. There's a reason Tsubasa calls him Scary Guy, you know.
Specifically, in Spring, Tsukiko is given a love letter. She rejects it. The guy isn't pleased, and ambushes her later on. Kanata shows up, and if you choose to go and get Suzuya, Tsukiko will run into Yoh. The two go back to the rooftop to find Suzuya, adjusting his uniform and standing over the guy. Not to mention the constant warnings he gives her regarding his jealousy...
And then in After Spring, Tsukiko is approached by two guys. Suzuya doesn't like this, and proceeds to beat them black and blue. It takes Tsukiko begging him to stop to get him off them.
Iku. At first he's a yangire but he will eventually turn into this if you choose his route.
