Shinohara Hana

Kanzaki Rei is an avid gamer, but one day he hit rock-bottom due to his debts. During the night while sleeping, a strange phenomenon happened and sent him inside the game he previously played. A world of life and death awaits.

Ichi is a lone goze (blind woman singer) who carries only a shamisen (a traditional Japanese stringed instrument) and a walking stick with a hidden blade inside. When necessary, she uses her exceptional sword skills to fight off yakuza and other villains.

As if having giant monsters and robots threatening to destroy it wasn't bad enough, Japan now faces another crisis: demons. Kijimutan tells the story of Yuna, a young samurai woman seeking to feed her own ambitions as well as to fulfill her own sense of self. As Yuna and her faithful friend, Musashi, go on their journey, they come face to face with the Shouki, the evil spirits seeking to destroy the very hearts of the people. Faced with the possibility that there might be an enemy within every person they encounter, the two warriors will have to struggle in order to succeed. The Shouki may be a great threat, but the greatest peril to their quest might lie within the heart of Yuna herself.

Dreams, aspirations, and secret desires – these are the emotions harbored deep in the hearts of the Shinsengumi soldiers. Centered around Chizuru as she infiltrates Shimabara, Hakuouki: Sekkaroku is the manga-adaption of the new Hakuouki OVA of the same name, and was created under the guidance of the OVA’s supervising director. A must read for any Hakuouki fan, Sekkaroku provides an exciting expansion to the Hakuouki universe. (From Baka-Updates)

Based on a popular otome game, Hakuouki follows Chizuru and the Shinsengumi in an alternate reality. Chizuru travels to Kyoto in search of her missing father but, after being involved in an incident, she ends up being taken in by the Shinsengumi where she meets the members including the famous Hijikata Toshizou and Okita Souji. Chizuru’s father was conducting government research for strengthening the Shinsengumi and developed the ochimizu. The ochimizu is a formula that gives demon-like strength and regeneration effects, but once taken, the user experiences extreme pain and eventually turns into a blood-thirsty monster.
