Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom

[Kaori]

From True Blood to Twilight, supernatural romance has become a very popular genre in North America. Because of this, Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom was a wise choice for Aksys Games to make when introducing Japanese otome games to this continent. The otome genre involves story-heavy games in which a female protagonist experiences a romance with one of several possible male love interests, but there's a lot more to Hakuoki than that. This historical fiction interactive novel is set in a tumultuous time in Japanese history and adds healthy dose of supernatural horror to spice up the mix—though don't worry, absolutely nobody sparkles in the sun. The first half of Hakuoki introduces readers to Chizuru, the main character who has traveled to Kyoto in the late 1800s, looking for her missing father. After accidentally witnessing a horrifying murder committed by a group of inhuman killers, Chizuru is taken in by the Shinsengumi, Kyoto's semi-official police force dedicated to protecting the populace as Japan's long ruling Tokugawa shogunate begins to unravel. In this section of the game, Chizuru gets to know the Shinsengumi captains, has the chance to participate in a number of bloody battles as the group goes about its work, and learns several dangerous secrets.
Okay so its a visual novel for psp, pretty rare outside Japan though, even rarer that its otome.

I was really happy that they decided to bring over a game like Hakuoki. The sales were great for it, so i hope they continue to bring more over from now on!!! My favourite was Heisuke, but on my first playthrough i happened to get Saito. It was such a great game <3
