Explanations
This story is an altered universe for Sakura Taisen. As it will be told on the story it is a game being played. At least that is the very beginning of the story. Things might take odd turns as the story develops. But so far one thing is for sure. Ogami Ichiro won't be the leader of the hanagumi and I am not sure if he will appear on this story. Kyougi means game in Japanese the title of this story is Sakura Taisen the Game. But it isn't based on the real Sakura Taisen game.
And this new segment will be following the original idea that gave origin to the main story of Sakura Taisen Kyougi. The main saga which leads to the formation of the Ikazuchigumi leaded by Benji is the branch that I chosen to be the main one. This is the second branch that I came when deciding what would happen on the story. In the main story Benji is leading a bran new unit against dark forces, under the direct command of Reni Milchstrasse.
On this story Benji will be facing a much different situation not related at all to the main story. At least the events related to the hunt against him. Every game scene displayed until before the sniper incident are valid on this story. Rosetta's kidnapping never happened and the incident with the drugged clubbers and the thief on the wedding are not part of the story.
I know that is a bit confusing. But the story will be changed after the third chapter. Until the true chapter just consider all the game entries and ignore the ones related to fights. Other than that the story will follow a different path from the main one, with new situations and events.
Sorry to making you all ready this, but is better reading this only once than in every chapter. I hope that you all enjoy this story.
Benji Himura.
