PS2 Harukanaru Jikuu no Ichi de Mai Ichi Yoru - New Import
NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» Akane Motomiya returns to the world of Ryo in another Harukanaru Jikuu game where the teenager interacts with a group of male handlers and assists them in another conflict against the Oni. At the outset of the adventure, a half-breed member of the Oni named Sefuru appears and challenges the Seiryuu. The boys dispatch his quickly and send him on his way but he'll be back... with reinforcements. The Harukanaru series diverges from conventional romance games by mixing a fairly substantial battle system with the interaction scenarios where attacks and techniques are used to beat back evil hordes of creatures.

   In the first battle scene of the game, Minamoto no Yorihisa (aka Seiryuu of Heaven) with his leopard print shawl and Morimura Tenma in his muscle shirt battle a spider with the face of a demon. Yorihisa attacks with trademark volleys such as the Koufuuranjin which is a wind blast and Tenma ignites Shouraigeki where lightning strikes attack the target. The other Seiryuu such as Inori, Suzaku of Heaven and Nagareyama Shimon, Suzaku of Earth appear early in the game but they're eventually joined by all of the other familiar faces that fans have come to know in the Harukanaru series - Takamichi, Tomomasa, Eisen, and Yasuaki who all have their own special attacks to beat back adversity.
