Adaptation:[]
The first part of the stage play focused on the happenings from Project Archive 1-1 until 1-13 (?) and follows the story of the drama CDs relatively closely, with a few exceptions. Part of the first manga chapter has also been included in the adaptation.
The most notable deviation was made with Lihito's blooming, which was prompted by Chise hugging him when they were alone in the living room during a rainy night. In general, a lof of adjustments have been made to the way Lihito is presented, probably in order to make his connection with Chise more obvious from the beginning.
