"The Eternity You Desire"), or Kiminozo for short, is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by Âge and released on August 3, 2001, for Windows.

[2] The series was also licensed for release by Revelation Films in the United Kingdom and Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand, under the title Rumbling Hearts: Kiminozo.

It was one of the first anime shows to be officially made available for the iPod through the iTunes Store and is also available through Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Takayuki Narumi.

Its gameplay requires little player interaction as much of the game's duration is spent on reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents the story's narrative and dialogue.

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.

The updated version for Windows Vista, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Latest Edition, contains a third chapter.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien's story revolves around the main protagonist Takayuki Narumi, a male high school student.

Takayuki ends up in bed with a nude sprawled out Haruka, but their relationship is not consummated due to performance anxiety.

The producer and head planner for Kimi ga Nozomu Eien was Hirohiko Yoshida, the executive director of Acid, the publishing company that Âge is under.

The scenario was written by three people: Hayato Tashiro (under the name Kichikujin Tam), Ai Shibuya (under the name Maro Guts), and Hokuto Matsunaga (under the name Hanjūryoku Seimei Maa).

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien was released as an adult game on August 3, 2001, playable on Windows PC as a CD-ROM.

[12][13] A PlayStation 2 port by Princess Soft was released on May 1, 2003, under the title Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Rumbling Hearts.

[15][16] Three novels based on the anime adaptation, written by Kenji Nojima, were published by Media Factory between March and May 2004.

[17][18] An artbook for the visual novel titled Âge Official Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Memorial Art Book was published by MediaWorks on November 8, 2002.

[19] An artbook for the anime titled Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Visual Complete was published by Media Factory in April 2004.

[21] A second picture book titled Hontō no Takaramono (ほんとうのたからもの, The Real Treasure), written and illustrated by Haruka Murakami, was published by Media Factory on September 25, 2004.

[26] The writers for the English dub of the anime in the North American release received a mixed reception for taking a liberal approach while producing the script.

For the most part, Takayuki's Japanese voice actor portrays him as severely emotionally numbed (dissociated), consistent with PTSD (one of the major themes).

However, there is one place they refuse to visit: the phone booth in front of the Hiiragi-cho station, where Haruka had her accident three years ago.

The ending theme "Omoide ni Kawaru made" (想い出に変わるまで, "Until It Becomes a Memory") by CooRie was added for chapter three in Latest Edition.

Haruka, Mitsuki, and Akane are members of the special task force A-01, also known as the Isumi Valkyries, while Homura Manami is a nurse at the Yokohama base.
