Or, when her childhood friend returns from overseas, she might finally get the romance she's always dreamed of.
This volume consists of three short stories involving a different princess and a mysterious exorcist. All stories deal with a central theme of foregoing sorrow and the appreciation/affirmation of what one has in life:
The Golden Phoenix, The Silver Phoenix - A princess longs for a lost love and almost loses her life until a mysterious exorcist opens her heart and mind to the truth and to what has been right in front of her all along.
The Hime with the Flower Crown - A young princess learns with the help of a mysterious young boy that putting away childish things may ultimately lead to a fulfilling new world and to the fulfilment of her beloved father's wish.
Memories of a Flower - While trying to solve the mystery behind the ghostly apparition of his beloved princess, a young man learns to ease his own sadness.
From Storm in Heaven:
In a society where money is king, the young men known as "flowers" hold a special role. In exchange for the financial support of those who have the means to patronize them, they serve their flower masters as symbols of taste, status, and wealth. Bought and sold at the whim of their masters, theirs is a precarious existence - save for the few who are lucky enough to have masters who can see the person behind the flower.
Note - Despite the magazines it was published in, there is no actual shounen-ai in Hanamatsuri. The relationships between the male characters are more along the lines of heavy subtext.
[ Roughly translated from Aki's atogaki for the book "...Well, there isn't any BL, sorry! I don't really know what 'homo' means...(laughs)" ]
In 1800s Japan, after the arrival of the "black ships," a group of young "Roushi" (lordless samurai) answer a call to Kyoto to protect the shogunate. But when they arrive, they find that the political situation, and their role in it, is far more complicated than they first imagined.
