Hanako Games Announces A Little Lily Princess

Hanako Games is pleased to announce the upcoming publication of a new visual novel: A Little Lily Princess.

Developed under the Hanabira label, this is a light yuri adaptation of the classic British novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, which has previously been adapted into Hollywood movies and even an anime series: A Little Princess Sara [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=444]

Sara Crewe is the young and pampered daughter of a wealthy British officer stationed in India. As was traditional for her class and time period, she is sent back alone to England to attend boarding school, arriving at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Girls. There she must learn English customs to fit in and make friends with her classmates. Sara relies on her love of books and fairy tales to give her strength and help her deal with the injustices she encounters. But when tragedy strikes, will beautiful dreams and the love of her friends be enough to see her through?

This is a yuri game, focusing on the loving relationships between girls. "It's remarkable how much of this content exists in the original text," says Georgina Bensley, director of Hanako Games. "Modern adaptations usually tone it down, removing all the kissing and hugging and declarations of love. We're simply pushing the balance in the opposite direction, allowing romantic friendships to blossom into romance."

A Little Lily Princess features six possible relationships for Sara, ranging from a more familial bond to passionate kisses and promises. The player must manage Sara's schedule and build her resources in order to unlock new scenes with all the available characters. All scenes remain age-appropriate for the young teenage students of Miss Minchin's.

Hanako Games is a producer of story-focused games, including visual novels and RPGs. They are best known for developing titles such as Long Live The Queen, Black Closet, and Magical Diary. The Hanabira imprint is designed to publish games whose scripts are originally created by other writers or adapted from previously-published fiction.
