Story:
The story focuses on the main character Sayori, who is a modern high school girl. She finds a mysterious pendant while out helping with an archeological dig (she's in the high school history club, and so is forced to attend), and later has a strange dream - it seems that the scene is from about a hundred and fifty years ago, during the last days of the samurai, and she sees Hatsuhime, princess of the Mochizuke clan, assassinated!
It gets even more strange when the scene changes, and Sayori realizes that she's in Hatsuhime's body; that she has somehow seen how things were, and the situation has somehow "reset", giving her the chance to avert the princess's terrible fate.
Characters:
Sayori - the main character. After inexplicably trading places with Hatsuhime, she finds herself playing the princess in order to save the princess' life (and her own).
Hatsuhime - princess of the Mochizuki clan. A bit tomboyish and prone to sneaking out of the castle at night, she frustrates her guardians. She gets caught up in a clan-succession conspiracy, one that seemingly proves fatal to her, and seems to reach out to Sayori through the mysterious green pendant that Sayori finds at the very beginning of the story.
Tsukuba Muneshige - Hatsuhime's servant, and loyal samurai and clan vassal. He has a penchant for making terrible jokes and bad impressions, which he sometimes uses to try and cheer Hatsuhime/Sayori up. Unfortunately, his impressions can get himself into trouble, as well. Seiyū: Jūrōta Kosugi
Yozaburo Shiraanui-His nickname is “Yo.” He is said to be the descendant of a famous ninja family, but the details of his past are unknown. Although he looks quite young at first glance, he has a very sharp tongue.
Murasame Jinnosuke - a fiery character with red hair and something of a rough - but good natured - temperament, he's one of the bodyguards hired to save Hatsuhime. He is also the first of such bodyguards you meet, as Hatsuhime bumps right into him at the festival, before the conspiracy and assassination attempt. He is exceptionally awkward around women, though Ittousai is even more awkward. Seiyū: Hiroki Takahashi
Tsubaki Tainojō - his nickname "Bo" comes from an alternate way to read "Tsubaki". He is rather androgynous (bishōnen, actually), and is from a samurai family. He seems rather elegant, and is interested in the paranormal. Seiyū: Hideo Ishikawa
Mon-Mon (Kadokura Monzan) - a Buddhist priest, who seems to like the company of women. He is very strong, however, and knows many things and has even medical knowledge to the extent that he can stitch a wound back together perfectly. He gives himself the nickname "Mon-Mon", and tries to sound cute. This usually means he isn't taken seriously.
Tatsunami Ittousai - a suspicious person who wears glasses all the time; he is hired as a bodyguard but is seen by the others as nothing but an assassin or a sociopath. He also has a body covered with scars from old sword wounds. Apparently, Jin has also tried to kill him before, but Ittousai survived the attempt. He also wears his glasses even when bathing. Seiyū: Hideki OgiharaOther Characters:
Kasumimaru Fuuma- The leader of Harumoto’s ninja corps, Kasumimaru is a swift, silent assassin who never lets his target escape.
Harumoto Ohno-The Chief Inspector of the Mochizuki clan. He is endlessly resourceful and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Nobumasa Ohno-Unlike his older brother Harumoto, Nobumasa looks every bit as aggressive as he actually is. Short-tempered and incredibly strong, he is not given to deep thought.You can buy it at http://www.jbox.com/PRODUCT/HIRA016
