Story
Rin, a 17-year-old high school girl, wandered into an Isekai where the sky is always pink in color. Ruka, a 14-year-old girl who speaks a little Japanese, and a couple of other girls teach her *Juliamo*, the lingua franca of the world. Will Rin be able to exchange *KOTONOHA* with them with a smile?
* *Juliamo* is constructed based on Esperanto, a real language in our world.
About the Isekai Rin has wandered into
[Difference between the world where Rin is from]- While geographically similar, some buildings, facilities, and roads are completely different.
- The language is the most critical difference; the people do not speak Rin's Japanese.
[The people called *Vizitanto*]- Many people other than Rin have wandered into this world from other ones; they are called *Vizitantos*.
[The language *Juliamo*]- In the past when there was a massive influx of *Vizitantos*, a certain language was common among them. *Juliamo* is constructed based on that tongue, and is used as the first language in certain regions.
- The alphabet consists of 28 characters, highly similar but pertaining some differences to the 26-character Latin alphabet.
[The sky that doesn't change in color]- The sky is always pink in color; are there no sunset?
- The lack of visual difference between day and night has led to a general preference towards 24-hour clocks.

The meaning of the title
*KOTONOHA* = language
*Lernado* = lernado (EO)
Adding the suffix *-ad-* and noun suffix *-o* to the Esperanto world *lerni* (to learn) yields *lernado* (learning).
* *-ad-* adds the meaning of continued action. "To continue learning" = "Learning"
