A small misunderstanding between the pair threatens to drive a wedge between them. As their story unfolds, can these two sisters come to understand each other and strengthen their bond?

Hanachirasu Review

Hanachirasu is a story of rivalry and vengeance set in an alternate modern day Japan, where the atomic bomb was never successfully developed during World War II and thus never detonated. Tokyo has since become an isolated haven for Japanese culture and the way of the sword, with firearms being completely banned from the city aside from a select few. Hanachirasu’s tale focuses on two men and their quest to kill each other; Takeda Akane, who longs to face his one true rival, and Igarasu Yoshia, a man driven by the desire to exact revenge for his slain lover.

Yes, sadly, their days of peaceful friendship are changing with Yoh's appearance and feelings long felt begin to bubble to the surface.

Juniper's Knot Review

One autumn morning a young boy lost in a silent, abandoned town stumbles across a female demon, or fiend, sitting alone by a fire. Through this accidental encounter, both the boy and demon's life are drastically changed forever.  This is a story of dual perspectives; Of the boy and the demon.

Juniper's Knot is a free, short kinetic novel by Dischan. Due to having only one ending and no choices, I will refer to it as a novel in my review.
