Part 1Part 2Background information and links to other reaction postsTime for the second half of the story!
Which it absolutely is, like, Kyoto Winds does end at a pause in the story where certain things have been tied up, but it's just a pause. You really want to see what happens next. And I know the Steam page says it's "part one of a series" but so is Dragon age Origins, you know?
Anyway my spoiler free review of Hakuoki (based on Saito’s romance) is that I really liked it! If you like the sound of enjoyably tropey samurai+supernatural romance with bittersweet longing and baddass fights and Team Bonding
give it a shot. Just bear in mind it starts out VERY SLOW.
