About Hakuoki SSL
The long-running Hakuoki otome visual novel series enters a new era! Hakuoki SSL ~Sweet School Life~ puts a modern spin on the Edo period romance of the main series, instead casting heroine Chizuru and the handsome warriors of the Shinsengumi as students and teachers living in modern Japan. School life antics ensue as these beloved characters hold a school festival, stress over midterms, get into watergun fights and more!
Experience a fun slice-of-life story through unlockable event scenes, engaging dialogue and beautifully illustrated character portraits, all localized in English for the first time. Explore unique endings with each character and enjoy mini-games that make this standalone entry extra special!
Pre-orders for physical editions of the game are available from online retail partner Playasia, but remaining Limited Editions are nearly sold out.
Physical copies for Nintendo Switch will begin shipping in the same week as digital release. Only 2000 Limited Editions will be produced and 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.
