Kaeru Batake de Tsukamaete is an otome-style visual novel created and released by Takuyo.
It all began when they disturbed that shrine. Sugano Fuu is a first-year student at Tsukiyado High School. One day, she, along with her senior Norizuki and classmate Hirose, decided to look into the "Seven Mysteries of Tsukiyado" as part of their club's activities. It wasn't a particularly intriguing subject to research—they were just passing the time. "Hey, there's that strange shrine on campus, right? Why don’t we check it out?" In that casual, half-hearted way, they set off to investigate. At the shrine, Hamura and Kuga were already there. They didn’t really get along with either of them—they were more like total strangers. After a brief hello, the investigation began. The shrine was ancient, and even though the door wasn’t locked, it wouldn’t budge. It looked like it had rusted shut, and when they tried to force it open, the wood crumbled away. Inside the dusty remains, they spotted "something." As they stared blankly at it, smoke suddenly began to pour out. "What if it's poison gas?!" With all their strength, they flung the "something" as far as they could. But despite their efforts, they were still caught in the smoke coming from it. And before they realized what was happening, they had turned into frogs.
