Hakuoki SSL ~Sweet School Life~ is a visual novel adventure centered around heroine Chizuru Yukimura and the handsome legendary warriors of the Shinsengumi, but unlike most of the series that’s set in Edo period Japan, this standalone entry casts the characters as members of a school in modern Japan. This Nintendo Switch release will include English language support for the first time, which should be welcome news for the many otome fans that have long requested localization of this particular game.
Physical copies will be available to pre-order through Playasia this Thursday, April 10th at 11:00pm Hong Kong time (11:00am ET / 8:00am PT / 4:00pm UK). Only 2000 Limited Editions will be produced and will include the game, manual, soundtrack CD, art book, mini case, Joy-Con sticker set, acrylic character standees and a numbered certificate in a collector’s box.
