He lives with his two foster sisters, <a href=\"http:\/\/circus.nandemo.gr.jp\/sakuhin\/dc2\/character\/yume.html\">Yume Asakura<\/a> (younger) and <a href=\"http:\/\/circus.nandemo.gr.jp\/sakuhin\/dc2\/character\/image\/middle_03.jpg\">Otome Asakura<\/a> (elder). Somehow, he possesses the exact same powers as Jun&#8217;ichi did, which are snack-conjuring and seeing the dreams of other people. <a href=\"http:\/\/circus.nandemo.gr.jp\/sakuhin\/dc2\/character\/image\/bottom_04.jpg\">Koko Tsukishima<\/a> is the shy introverted childhood friend, <a href=\"http:\/\/circus.nandemo.gr.jp\/sakuhin\/dc2\/character\/minatsu.html\">Minatsu Amakase<\/a> is the banana-<u>hating<\/u> <em>tsuntsun<\/em> girl (i.e. complete opposite of her namesake), <a href=\"http:\/\/circus.nandemo.gr.jp\/sakuhin\/dc2\/character\/akane.html\">Akane Hanasaki<\/a> is the over-developed classmate, <a href=\"http:\/\/circus.nandemo.gr.jp\/sakuhin\/dc2\/character\/anzu.html\">Anzu Yukimura<\/a> is the creepy under-developed classmate (think Ichigo from Onegai series except less cool) and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.darkmirage.com\/images\/screencaps\/dc2demo10.jpg\" class=\"centered\" alt=\"Nanaka~\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/circus.nandemo.gr.jp\/sakuhin\/dc2\/character\/image\/bottom_02.jpg\">Nanaka Shirakawa<\/a> is the campus idol + hands down the best character in the game.<\/strong> Good genes from Kotori. *wub*<\/p>\n<p>More stuff and screenshots after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Jumped.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, nothing much has changed since the first game. The art feels somewhat different due to the lack of Naru Nanao (original character designer for D.C.) but it&#8217;s still of good quality. Especially Nanaka. Moving on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.darkmirage.com\/images\/screencaps\/dc2demo2.jpg\" class=\"centered\" alt=\"Main Menu\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The game system is still the same old stuff. Well, there is a slight change in that the creators seem to be using character portrait size and angle to indicate the positions of the onscreen characters in relation to one another. It&#8217;s not perfect considering all the stuff are in 2D, but it achieves its effects. <\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.darkmirage.com\/images\/screencaps\/dc2demo3.jpg\" alt=\"Yume and Otome\" \/><br \/>\nYoshiyuki, don&#8217;t go to the dark side!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Yume sounds somewhat like Nemu. Otome sounds quite different from what I imagined (which was closer to Moe&#8217;s voice from the original D.C.).
