Sonico Character Analysis

After a chance encounter with a beautiful girl at a music concert, your character in Sonicomi struggles to get her out of his mind. Much to his surprise he runs into her again at his work where he is apprenticing with a professional photographer. It turns out that the girl, Super Sonico, is planning on making her modelling debut and your boss has appointed you as the photographer who will help her with this. As her personal photographer you are not only responsible for her image, but also carving out a niche for her in the competitive world of gravure modelling.

The story isn’t anything special, but a few of the routes does have some humorous or touching scenes. It’s a pity that the only model in the game is Sonico, but the vast amount of clothes available for her does make up for that a bit.
