Aksys Announce They're Bringing Hakuoki: Demon Of The Fleeting Blossm To The USA In Q1 2012

Aksys Games have announced they are bringing Hakuoki: Demon Of The Fleeting Blossm on the PSP to the USA in Q1 2012. Aksys summarize it best on their press release.

Japan’s Edo Period was drawing to a close. The shogunate, who’d held power in the country for more than 200 years, found itself challenged by the imperial court, and by several domains who had chaffed under shogunal rule.
In this midst of this political unrest, an organization rose to prominence: The Shinsengumi. Originally formed to protect the street of Kyoto from masterless samurai, they came to represent the last, tragic bastion of the honor-bound samurai culture that had defined much of Japan’s history.
In Hakuoki, a young woman by the name of Chizuru comes to Kyoto in search of her missing father, and soon encounters danger and the Shinsengumi in quick succession. When it becomes clear the Shinsengumi are also searching for her father, Chizuru is put under their protection.
But odd things are afoot in Kyoto—possibly even supernatural things. Can Chizuru navigate this maze of mortal danger and political intrigue? Amidst so much mystery and death, can she find romance?

Japan’s Edo Period was drawing to a close. The shogunate, who’d
held power in the country for more than 200 years, found itself
challenged by the imperial court, and by several domains who had
chaffed under shogunal rule.

In this midst of this political unrest, an organization rose to
prominence: The Shinsengumi. Originally formed to protect the street
of Kyoto from masterless samurai, they came to represent the last,
tragic bastion of the honor-bound samurai culture that had defined
much of Japan’s history.

In Hakuoki, a young woman by the name of Chizuru comes to
Kyoto in search of her missing father, and soon encounters danger
and the Shinsengumi in quick succession. When it becomes clear the
Shinsengumi are also searching for her father, Chizuru is put under
their protection.

But odd things are afoot in Kyoto—possibly even supernatural
things. Can Chizuru navigate this maze of mortal danger and political
intrigue? Amidst so much mystery and death, can she find romance?
