Additionally, new character designs have offered a more thorough look at Hanamaru’s leads, Yamatonokami Yasusada (Shinsengumi superstar Okita Souji’s favorite sword) and Kashuu Kiyomitsu.
The latest update is that an exhibit showcasing the work is planned for historically significant Kyoto’s International Manga Anime Fair 2016 (September 17-18).
This spring, plans were announced for a pair of anime based on Nitroplus and DMM’s famous-swords-as-cute-boys game Touken Ranbu: a 2017 Ufotable series and a fall 2016 Hanamaru series.
