Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo(MF links)

In the near future.

In a not so distant place.

There exists a society where law is based upon deterrence and criminals are assigned "obligations" fitting for their crimes.

Within this society, a man named Morita Kenichi aspires to the position of Special High Class Individual, one who holds authority over said criminals.

For the purpose of fulfilling his ambition, Kenichi returns to the town he once called home. There he will encounter three girls bearing "obligations" and there he will encounter the past he left behind.

Won't you join him in this story about how people relate to their society?

In this story about how a society relates to its people.

In this story about the girl amid the sunflowers growing in the country spinning like a wheel.




This is a story with a very good plot. The storytelling sucks. Yes, it sucks you into a twirling roller-coaster ride of emotions - enmity, compassion, empathy. Into the ugly truth of a corrupted society, where injustice, suppression and oppression is abound. Into the struggles of a man against all odds, be it the government or his haunting past. Be prepared for the ride.

This is Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo, brought to you by AkabeiSoft2. It is one of their earlier works(they also did G-Senjou no Maou) that made them famous to fans of this genre. As per usual with AkabeiSoft2, yet another story with plot twists and cliffhanging points, inviting player's curiosity of the next events to unfold. Basically if you like G-Senjou no Maou, you probably will like this too(and vice versa). Oh, forgot the comedy. Yes, there's comedy here.

Here's the opening video :

Some sample CGs:

Conclusion? I'd give it a 9/10. If worth mentioning, VA Norio Wakamoto(Charles vi Brittania) did a great job and was a perfect match to voice the role of THAT guy.

If you wish to avoid encountering any H-scenes, go for the harem route. It doesn't lessen the experience as the route in this game is pretty much linear. Only difference is who you will be with after the end of the story.
