ToHeart2 (トゥハート2, ToHeart2^?) is an anime based on the visual novel ToHeart2. The game itself is based in the same school as the original ToHeart, except set two years later with a completely new set of characters.

Like the original ToHeart anime, ToHeart2 is laid back and based on daily life and happenings. While the animation of the original ToHeart anime was very soft and used a lot of watercolour like images, ToHeart2 followed the path of ToHeart ~remember my memories~ and uses solid colours and well-defined edges.

While the characters have retained their personalities from the game, the story is different. In the game, most of the characters never meet but they all know one another in the anime. Also, while in the game each character has her individual scenario, the anime mixes up the Konomi, Tamaki and Sango and Ruri scenarios as a focus.

An OVA series with a new, original story will be released in February 28th, 2007 direct to DVD. It will feature all the ToHeart2 cast, including Sasara Kusugawa, first featured in ToHeart2 XRATED, Marianne, another character who debuted in ToHeart2 XRATED, and Yūki Kusakabe, a character who only made a flashback appearance.

Yuma Tonami

Yuma is an athletic girl and is out-going. She pretends to be always in conflict with Takaki and that he's always trying to beat her in everything. She thinks he is her rival.
