August Presents
a good librarian like a good shepherd
When I come to love the fair sky, I'll go on
A journey to the place where fun is waiting
With my favorite wish in my heart
All my friends wave at me when I look back
I was looking for an answer
Beyond the still frame
But a more exciting story woke up
In our hands we held together
Don't forget your dream
A flower which bloomed in your heart
It will grow tall from now
A feeling is born when people meet
Let's develop it in this large garden
Where hopes are shining

From wikipedia.org:
"Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai: A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepherd" (lit. "Large Library's Shepherd" or "The Shepherd of the Great Library") is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by August and released on January 25, 2013 for Windows PCs as a DVD. The gameplay in Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai follows a branching plot line which offers pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the five female main characters by the player character. A fan disc for Windows titled Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai: Hokago Shippo Days, rated for ages 15 and older, was released in August 2013. A second, adult fan disc titled Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai: Dreaming Sheep was released in March 2014.
There have been five manga adaptations based on the game published by ASCII Media Works, Ichijinsha, Kadokawa Shoten and Media Factory. Comic anthologies and light novels were also published, as were several music albums. An anime adaptation produced by Hoods Entertainment is scheduled to air from October 2014.
Gameplay
Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Kyotaro Kakei. Much of its gameplay is spent reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents the story's narrative and dialogue. The text is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Kyotaro is talking to, over background art. Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction.
There are five main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made. Some decisions can lead the game to end prematurely and offer an alternative ending to the plot. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and choose different choices to further the plot to an alternate direction. Throughout gameplay, there are scenes depicting Kyotaro and a given heroine having sex.
Plot
Set in the vast and prestigious Shiomi Academy (Jap. "Shiomi Gakuen"), Kyotaro Kakei is a student and the only member of the Library Club (Jap. "Tosho-bu"). When Kyotaro was young, he aspired to read all the magic books in the world which were kept in the magic library. To gain access, he acquires a bookmark, which is an entry ticket to the magic library, and he must show kindness and bring happiness to everyone's hearts. Being the sole member of the Library Club, he enjoys the fact that he can read peacefully by himself. After receiving a text from the 'shepherd', which reads his fate is going to change, Kyotaro encounters a second-year girl named Tsugumi Shirasaki, whom he saves at the train station. Later that day, Tsugumi enters the Library Club, she thanks him, and asks for his help to make Shiomi Academy a more enjoyable place. Like Kyotaro, Tsugumi has also received a text from the shepherd. With the shepherd's guidance, more students end up joining their group.
