Product Description
-------------------
Japan's Edo Period was drawing to a close. The shoate, who'd
held power in the country for more than 200 years, found itself
challenged by the imperial court, and by several domains who had
chaffed under shoal rule. In this midst of this political
unrest, an organization rose to prominence: The Shinsengumi.
Originally formed to protect the street of Kyoto from master less
samurai, they came to represent the last, tragic bastion of the
honor-bound samurai culture that had defined much of Japan's
history. In Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, a young woman
by the name of Chizuru comes to Kyoto in search of her missing
her, and soon encounters danger and the Shinsengumi in quick
succession. When it becomes clear the Shinsengumi are also
searching for her her, Chizuru is put under their protection.
But odd things are afoot in Kyoto-possibly even supernatural
happenings. Can Chizuru navigate this maze of mortal danger and
political intrigue? Amidst so much mystery and death, can she
find romance?
