Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time 5 Game's Promo Streamed

Koei Tecmo Games began streaming an 88-second promotional video for Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 5 Kazahana-ki on the PlayStation Portable game's official website on Monday. The love adventure game will be a sequel to the Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 5 (Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time 5) PSP game, which shipped in Japan in February.

KOEI released the original Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time PlayStation romance adventure game developed by Ruby Party in 2000. Tooko Mizuno began serializing a manga adaptation in 2000, and Viz Media published the series' 14th volume in North America in November. The game series has also inspired several anime video titles, the Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time – A Tale of the Eight Guardians television anime series in 2004, and the Harukanaru Toki no Naka de: Maihitoyo anime film in 2006.
