D.C. II ~Da Capo II~ (D.C.II ~ダ・カーポII~) is an adult Japanese visual novel developed by
Circus which was released as a limited edition version on May 26, 2006 playable on the PC as a DVD; a regular edition followed on June 23, 2006. Da Capo II is apart of the ongoing Da Capo series of games by Circus, and is the direct sequel to Circus' previous title D.C. ~Da Capo~ released in 2002.
Da Capo II is self-described as a "ticklish school romance adventure (こそばゆい学園恋愛アドベンチャー) according to Circus. A sequel, D.C. II Spring Celebration, was released on April 27, 2007 and features springtime stories set after the endings for each of the six Da Capo II heroines. The simplified gameplay in the sequel allows the player to select the story they would like to see from the onset. An all-ages consumer port, tentatively titled D.C. II Plus Situation, is in production for the Playstation 2, and is scheduled for release some time in 2008.
Similar to its predecessor, the story
takes place on the same island, Hatsunejima, in Japan, and set fifty-three years after the original game. The Asakura sisters are the granddaughters of Junichi Asakura and Nemu Asakura from the first Da Capo. Sakura Yoshino and Junichi are the only returning characters, and Nemu is the only other character to be mentioned by name. Yume, Nanaka, Minatsu, and Sakura's themes are remixes of themes from previous Circus games. Yume, Minatsu, and Sakura's are remixes of Nemu, Miharu, and Sakura's from Da Capo, and Nanaka's is a remix of Sayaka's from Suika.
There have been three drama CDs, and two separate sets of novels and manga created based on the original game. An
anime adaptation began airing in Japan on
