However, the game switches to the perspective of each of the named characters: Fuminori’s best friend Tonoh Koji, Koji’s girlfriend Takahata Omi, Omi’s best friend Tsukuba Yoh who has an unrequited crush on Fuminori, and Fuminori’s physician Tanbo Ryoko, as well as a brief segment with Fuminori’s next door neighbor and another from Saya’s point of view. Fuminori is the main protagonist and perspective character for most of the story, and the narration is in first person when showing his perspective. Rather uniquely for a visual novel, at least the ones I’ve read, Saya no Uta makes rather extensive use of changing perspectives. And not to spoil anything, but as a Gen Urobuchi story it should come as no surprise that because Fuminori sees her as human, she’s…not that. She very much serves as Fuminori’s anchor throughout the story, with him only being able to hang onto his sanity because of her presence. Until, that is, he met Saya, the one person that he was able to see as human in this case, a young, beautiful girl. And that includes Madoka.Ī meeting that will change Fuminori’s life. So, it should come as no surprise to anyone that Saya no Uta is one of the most messed-up stories I’ve ever seen. The English translation originated from a fan work by TLWiki, and was officially released commercially by JAST USA in 2013.
It was originally released in 2003, prior to any of those series, although interestingly it saw a surge in popularity following the success of Madoka in 2011. Saya no Uta, alternatively known as The Song of Saya in English, is a Lovecraftian horror romance eroge visual novel developed by Nitroplus and written by Gen Urobuchi, known for other stories including Fate/Zero, Psycho-Pass, Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Aldnoah.Zero.
