Canvas 2: Akane-iro no Palette (Canvas2 〜茜色のパレット〜, Canvas 2 ~Akane-iro no Paretto~, lit. Canvas 2 ~Deep Red-colored Palette~) is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by F&C FC01, a brand of F&C. The game, which is a sequel to Canvas: Sepia-iro no Motif, was released for Windows on April 23, 2004; a PlayStation 2 version without adult content was released on January 26, 2006. The story follows Hiroki Kamikura, an art teacher at Nadeshiko Academy who lost his passion for painting. Hiroki's budding relationships with the game's main heroines are the focal point of the story.

The gameplay in Canvas 2 is mostly spent reading the dialogue and narrative, and the primary objective of the game is to romance the five main heroines, each of whom has her own story route that the player can explore individually. The game was ranked as the second best-selling bishōjo game at the time of its release. Canvas 2 has been adapted into various other forms of media, such as manga, light novels, audio drama, and a twenty-four-episode anime television series produced by Zexcs.

Gameplay

[edit]

Canvas 2 is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of the protagonist, Hiroki Kamikura. Much of the gameplay is spent reading the text that appears on the screen, representing dialogue between the characters and Hiroki's inner thoughts. The text is accompanied by character sprites over background art, allowing the player to identify which characters are talking. Every so often, the player will reach a "decision point" where they must choose from multiple options displayed on the screen; the choices that the player makes throughout the game will affect the plot's progression. The primary objective of the game is to earn the favor of one of the game's five main heroines, and to build a relationship with them. There are five main story routes and endings that the player can experience, one for each heroine. At certain points in the game, the player will encounter CG artwork taking the place of character sprites and background art; in adult-rated versions of the game, there is artwork depicting the heroines in sexual situations. In the PlayStation 2 version, adult content was removed and two additional story routes became playable.[3] The game is fully voiced, with the exception of Hiroki and secondary characters.[1]

Plot

[edit]

Story

[edit]

Canvas 2 takes place five years after the events of the first game.[4] The story revolves around Hiroki Kamikura, a dispassionate art teacher who gave up on his dream of being a painter. After a friend plagiarized his work and stole his fame in art university, and a traumatizing incident that occurred at his high school reunion, he no longer derives any enjoyment from painting and even the act of picking up a paint brush pains him. He teaches students at Nadeshiko Academy (撫子学園, Nadeshiko Gakuen), a prestigious institution that places an emphasis on art and has produced many famous artists.[4] At home, Hiroki takes care of his younger cousin Elis Hōsen, who moved in with him after passing the entrance exam for Nadeshiko Academy. During his time teaching at the academy, he builds relationships with various female students and teachers, and as he learns about their own struggles and passions, he gradually begins to rediscover himself and regain his love for painting.[4]

Main characters

[edit]

The protagonist of Canvas 2 is Hiroki Kamikura (上倉 浩樹, Kamikura Hiroki), a once-aspiring artist who now works as an art teacher at Nadeshiko Academy.[4] Despite teaching art at a prestigious school, he has no passion for painting anymore due to his troubled past. He has adopted an apathetic attitude towards life and tends to go with the flow without trying too hard. Hiroki lives with his half-Japanese-half-French younger cousin Elis Hōsen (鳳仙 エリス, Hōsen Elis, voiced by Naho Nakaya), who is the main heroine of Canvas 2. Elis is an innocent and lively girl who has a brother complex towards Hiroki.[5] She is very skilled at painting, but due to being traumatized by the accident that took her parents' lives, she has an extreme aversion to the color red. After passing the entrance exam, she enrolls in Nadeshiko Academy as a first-year student.[5]

Hiroki ends up being reunited with his tomboyish childhood friend Kiri Kikyō (桔梗 霧, Kikyō Kiri, voiced by Yuri Sawa) after she starts working as a physical education teacher at Nadeshiko Academy.[6] A friend of Hiroki's since kindergarten, she once confessed her love to him in high school, but was rejected by him, causing a strain in their relationship.[6] Despite their complicated history, Kiri is a caring friend towards Hiroki and tries to keep their professional and personal lives separate, reflecting her responsible nature; however, she still has some feelings for Hiroki. Hiroki also befriends the mischievous and energetic second-year student Kana Hagino (萩野 可奈, Hagino Kana, voiced by Kanoko Hatamiya), who looks younger than she really is due to her short stature and childlike face.[7] Kana is a talented best-selling romance novelist who takes inspiration from the other characters' relationships for her stories. She attends Hiroki's art classes and often shares her manuscript with Hiroki for him to critique.

Sumire Misaki (美咲 菫, Misaki Sumire, voiced by Misa Kimura), a third-year student at the academy, also attends Hiroki's art classes.[8] She comes from a family of talented artists, but she has no interest in art and practices singing in the choir club. She is often referred to as the "Nadeshiko Diva" (撫子の歌姫, Nadeshiko no Utahime).[8] Sumire is shy and reserved, and feels insecure about herself due to being compared to her older sister. Nadeshiko Academy is run by the acting chairwoman and world-famous cello player Saya Saginomiya (鷺ノ宮 紗綾, Saginomiya Saya, voiced by Himawari Natsuno).[9] Saya has a gentle and ladylike disposition, and is well liked by the students of the academy. She holds her younger sister Ai in high regard and talks about her often. She is very well-versed when it comes to wielding the naginata and coaches the naginata club.[9]

Development and release

[edit]

Canvas 2 is the sequel to F&C’s prior visual novel, Canvas: Sepia-iro no Motif,[10][4] and is the second installment in the Canvas series. An early concept for the game appeared in Naked Blue: Canvas Wallpaper Collection, a fan disc to Canvas: Sepia-iro no Motif, as a preview to a fictitious work called Canvas 2: 2nd Stage.[11] Two members of staff who were involved with Canvas: Sepia-iro no Motif, Yū Miyamura and Sakana, returned to work on Canvas 2.[12][13] Naru Nanao, who had previously worked on Circus' visual novel Da Capo,[14] was in charge of designing the characters Elis and Kiri.[15] Chikotam provided the character designs for Kana, Saya, and the side character Shie Sugihara,[16] and Sakana provided the character design for Sumire.[13] Miyamura, who served as the director of the project, was also in charge of scenario writing for Elis and Kiri.[16] Shinjitsu Jōchi wrote the scenarios for Kana and Sumire,[16] while Takuya Tanaka wrote the scenario for Saya.[16] Lastly, the game's music was composed by Elements Garden.[17]

The fan disc includes a collection of wallpapers drawn by various artists, mini-games, and a mini-drama that continues the story of the Canvas 2: Prism-iro no Summer Festa drama CD.[32][33] A downloadable version of the game was made available on December 31, 2010.[32]
