Description

Rising Judo Star, Gushiken Takahiro, was about to have the match that would make or break his career in two weeks. A championship match where the winner is then signed up to be a young national athlete for Japan. He was very determined to win, in order to fulfill his dreams of finally representing his country for a sport he loves so much.

He was prepared and ready, but that doesn’t stop him from being nervous for his upcoming battle. With the suggestion of his friends and classmates, he goes to a shrine that was rumoured to grant any wish or prayer. He poured all the coins from his already full coin bank into the offering box and made his prayer. After praying, he becomes dizzy and nauseous and eventually faints. When he woke up, he was already in an ancient place he didn’t recognize.

While searching for a way back to his village, he stumbles upon two girl wielding swords chasing after two… foxgirls? He questions his brain at first, but then follows them, only to be caught in on their shenanigans as well.

Who are these girls and are they involved on Takahiro’s arrival to this new world? Will he ever get back to his home place and timeline just in time for his match? Or will he be stuck there forever?

Mini reviews

<report>Anyone looking at that cover would be instantly drawn to those shiny melons and might be really interested - that is until they get to read the first few lines.

In all honesty, Sakura Spirit has great art and music but its writing falls flat miserably and fails to hold the reader's attention.

And you know what's worse, anyone would expect a different ending by choosing to go to the matsuri with Miyu and Narumi (for whom they've actually come up with appropriate outfits unlike the Kitsune), but no there's only 1, so what's the point?

Shallow, bland and sadly forgettable. Could've been tons better.

<report>The art looks nice and the story sounds interesting, but...

Every character is forgettable as the people behind this VN decided to put more focus on how many random fanservice scenes they can throw in rather than giving more time for the characters. While we do learn things about characters like Narumi and Machiko, some information is forgotten as soon as it is said for the remainder of the VN since we have to focus on Takahiro and how he reacts to the aforementioned fanservice moments. Also, we get to the ending rather abruptly.

Overall, as a fictional character from Mortal Kombat once said:

"Such wasted potential."

Still waiting for Sakura Spirit 2, Winged Cloud.
