About this product:

Premiere visual novel studio Nitroplus presents a new game in their line of uncensored English-language releases produced in partnership with JAST USA: Hanachirasu

In an alternate version of history, World War 2 ended not via nuclear strike, but after a slow land war and occupation of Japan's northern and southern islands. Years later, violent uprisings on the main island of Honshu caused the establishment of martial law and led to the disbanding of the government and the banning of all firearms. By the 21st century, the sword is the weapon of highest power in an isolated, corrupt Tokyo. You portray master swordsman Takeda Akane, a young man driven by the desire to confront his rival in this dystopia no matter what the cost. A brilliant "sword opera" drama from writer Narahara Ittetsu.

Note: Previously Hanachirasu was to be released together with Saya no Uta as a single package set, but now both games will be released separately. You can still choose both games for a discount when preordering.

    "You've finally come."

    A mercenary in service to the Takigawa Corporation, which rules Tokyo's economy with an iron fist. He desires only to settle the score with his nemesis, Igarasu Yoshia, and will destroy anything that stands in his way. A disciple of the Karuno-ryu school of swordsmanship, Akane is more than a match for opponents twice his size. His merciless sword effortlessly carves a path to his goal, and nothing but death and despair is left in his wake.

    "I've finally found you."

    A mercenary in service to the Hokodome-no-Kai, an underground militia that fights to overthrow Takigawa. He was once Akane's elder disciple in the Karuno-ryu school of swordsmanship.

    Yumi's personal bodyguard. A mighty warrior who has loyally served three generations of Takigawa presidents, he finds himself disturbed by Akane's influence over Yumi.
