Visual Novel Hanachirasu Now Shipping

VISUAL NOVEL 'HANACHIRASU' NOW SHIPPING

San Diego (March 10, 2015) – JAST USA announced today the release of its newest visual novel game, Hanachirasu.

Hanachirasu is a fascinating tale about modern day Japan built upon an alternate ending of World War II that saw no nuclear weapons. The United States invaded the southernmost island of Kyushu while the Soviet Union siezed Hokkaido, reducing Japan its central islands. The years that followed created an insulated Japan, banning evil Western influences and embracing martial arts and swordplay as expressions of the "pure" Japanese spirit. In the middle of this dark world comes the story of Takeda Akane, a master swordsman who has only one purpose in life.

This story comes from Nitroplus, well known to anime and gaming fans outside as the company that created titles such as Deus Machina Demonbane, Saya no Uta and Steins;Gate. Hanachirasu is another story of great beauty that fans will certainly enjoy.

Peter Payne, president of JAST USA, said, "We're extremely happy to be partners with Nitroplus, and represent their games to the West. Hanachirasu is really a thing of beauty, and we hope all fans of Japanese swordsmanship will pick it up."
