School Days starts out as a love-triangle shounen romance. First year high school student Ito has a stalker's crush on Katsura, a girl who rides the same train everyday. Katsura is in the next class to Ito, but Ito doesn't have the nerve to speak with her. Fortunately for Ito, long time friend and seat-mate Saionji, is friends with Katsura so Saionji offers to set the two up.
Ito is set up with Katsura and actually confesses to her. Ito is also in luck, because Katsura had a stalker's crush on him on the train too, so they seem to be a match made in heaven.
But at the end when Saionji congratulates Ito on successfully becoming Katsura's boyfriend, Saionji suddenly kisses Ito on the lips and then runs off onto a train with tears running down her face.
Makoto Ito attends Sakakino Gakuen and is in class 3, first year. His parents are divorced and he lives together with his mother in an upperscale apartment.
Throughout the story, he is indecisive and unable to decide between Sekai and Kotonoha. Between his indecisiveness and, in the game, the ability to turn the choices of the gamer around and do the complete opposite, he has gained the dubious honour of being regarded as one of the most pathetic adult game protagonists ever.
