Characters (More to come!)
You can expect to meet a large cast of charming and mysterious characters in Crimson Sunrise, many of which will be attending the esteemed Hinode Academy. You can try befriending them, or maybe become something more... but every relationship you start carries risks with it. Every person has secrets, some of which may be better off left unknown... Look forward to seeing more characters in future updates!
Saya Sasaki
Saya was raised to be a good, traditional housewife someday. Despite having her own dreams and ambitions, Saya does her work with optimism and a smile.
Tsuki Tsukada
What Tsuki lacks in subtlety, she makes up for with a big personality! She may have a sly and sadistic streak about her, but don't let that scare you away. Even if you run, she knows you'll come crawling back eventually...
Renga Oshiro
A wrong glance at Renga might land you on your ass! She's actually really nice though, once you get to know her... and have taken a few beatings.
Background Artwork Samples
There will be plenty of places to wander and explore throughout Hinode Academy and Shinku City, especially for taking girls on dates! You'll have to option to visit many of them any day of the week, both during and outside of school.
It's only a short walk to Hinode Academy, but the feeling of the sun shining down on you lasts forever.
Lots of interesting lessons to be learned in class, provided you don't fall asleep...
Hinode Academy has Japan's best and brightest... each person walking the halls has a bright future!
Take a break with some karaoke after school! Pop songs, anime openings, you name it!
We hope you'll make the most your time at Hinode Academy, where each student is a bright beam in the Land of the Rising Sun! You'll get to see more of your fellow students soon, and more of the beautiful Shinku City!
