People with the disease seem to suddenly die and then disappear into thin air, leaving behind only their clothing. As the days and months go by, the man seems to left behind in a world empty of all humans. Until one winter day, he meets a strange girl wearing goth-loli clothing named Tsubaki who claims to be an immortal.
The other story is set on the sunny beaches of a small island. A young courier named Elena rescues a young woman drifting in the ocean after a storm. The woman, Mary, is clutching a glass bottle made with technology neither recognize. That mystery sets the two off on a sea journey to the ends of the Earth in search of the people who created the bottle.

Sanarara R
Nekoneko Soft
It was something that could've happened to anyone... A somewhat mysterious story...
One day, I was approached by a girl I didn't recognize.
She told me that she could grant any wish I desired but...
This unreliable girl can do that?
While I stood in disbelief, she began to explain how it worked.
After the explanation, while I didn't believe it all, I'll admit that she was different from others.
Sanarara R a compilation of seven interconnected stories where the characters explore how their lives would change if they were allowed a chance to have their one deepest wish granted.
Sanarara R is a "renewal" version of Sanarara which originally came out in 2005 and contains a new heroine as well as extra scenarios that were featured on previously released fan discs. The game is also updated from 4:3 to a 16:9 resolution. Sanarara R is currently slated for a 2019 Q3 release.
