For the first "season", the overarching plot of the series centers around second year high school student Tsukasa Kuzunoha, a young man who can "hear" honne, monsters formed from the "true face" of people's feelings, and give them physical form. The songs explore five major incidents involving honne; in each installment, he encounters a person, tries to resolve the situation by defeating their Tatemae, and a followup song that follows the character interacting and adjusting to their honne afterwards.
There are eleven songs in Season 1, broken up into five main chapters (consisting of a part 1 and a part 2) and one side story. The early Chapters, Chapters 1 and 2, lack a Vocaloid version of their respective second parts, while Chapters three and onward have one. The first four chapters have been brought to disk as part of official maimai albums, while as a whole they have ended up on individual producers' discorgaphies; the last installment, however, has yet to get a physical release. Eventually the whole season was put into an omnibus album, Kotonoha Project ~Eishoushuu~, but it excludes the Vocaloid versions of all relevant songs.
The second "season" retools the character designs and places them in a Victorian inspired supernatural mystery setting. This story instead follows "Owl", an underground detective who takes residence in a run down bar, and his magical escapades with demons, disease, and the elusive phantom thief Hude Lou.
The first half of Chapter 4, covering the strange circumstances surrounding Kuzunoha Sora, an amnesiac girl who proclaims that Tsukasa is her elder brother.
The first half of Chapter 5, a flashback concerning Tsukasa's childhood and his reveal as a honne, along with his relationship with his own former master, Kuzunoha Gin.
The second half of Chapter 5, and the last main installment of Season 1. Tsukasa and Sora are reunited with their old master/true older brother Kuzunoha Gin, and everyone from the past installments team up together to stop Gin's tatamae from destroying everything.
The second installment and an introductory song for the main cast of the Second Season. Follows a young girl who goes to Owl and co. for help concerning a mysterious card she received belonging to the phantom thief Hude Lou.
The entire first season has an online novelization available for free on the official website, also broken up into five main arcs. Altogether, the novelization has 21 segments and 101 chapters.
