◆Story◆
--------------------
At a little Japanese country town in the Showa period, there lies a certain side street straight out of memory lane.
The light of the setting sun is cast brilliantly across the red iron roofs.
A kind old lady, though scary when angered, runs a small store all by herself.
This is the tale of the of her tiny little candy shop at street corner.
Our strange yet heartwarming story begins here--a shop whose memory is kept like a gem in a jewel box.
It is the time of radio calisthenics, shaved ice, water balloons, and singing cicadas.
A perfect day during the summer vacation that always seemed to be without end...

It gets easier to earn more money by repeating the above steps 1 through 4.
Keep doing this to see if you can fill up the catalog and reach the conclusion of the story!

◆Stock◆
Stocking gradually fills your shop with items that will bring in the kids.
Kids will stop coming to the shop as time goes by, so be sure to check in periodically and stock up as needed.
Keep the following points in mind:
◎◎◎The amount of items you stocked can be chosen from among 5 varying levels.◎◎◎
◎◎◎It takes between 15 minutes to 8 hours to complete a stock, depending on the amount selected.◎◎◎
◎◎◎Purchasing many of an item at once will keep it in your shop for a long time, but will causes fewer kids to visit.◎◎◎
◎◎◎Purchasing only a few of an item means they will sell quickly, but more kids will visit.◎◎◎
You can build up your store effectively just by doing a little stocking during your lunch break, or putting in a big stock right before you go to bed!
