Shiroha Naruse

Shiroha Naruse is a character from Summer Pockets, a visual novel developed by critically acclaimed developer Key. Described as a kuudere with white hair and blue eyes. While the game offers a diverse selection of heroines, Shiroha's role as the main heroine means that her route is considered the "true end" of the story.

In this wiki, Shiroha was the winner of ISML 2021's second visual novel exhibition. Summer Pockets dominated the tournament because it's one of the most popular galgames among East Asian audiences at the time, plus it's made by Key, one of the stronger factions in ISML (Kanon, Clannad, Angel Beats!, Charlotte, etc.). As a result, five heroines - the maximum amount of allowed girls - qualified in the contest. Shiroha was seeded #3, one lower than fellow cast member Kamome Kushima, who immediately lost in the first round. With Kamome gone on her bracket's side, Shiroha proceeded to walk over the bracket, winning all of her matches by at least 400 votes. In the final, she defeated first seed Atri, who earned the spot thanks to a campaigning effort by a Tieba user during the exhibition's nomination round.
