History VisualNovel / SharinNoKuni

* {{Catchphrase}}: Kenichi, Sachi, and Touka all have them, and they're all lampshaded and played with to hell.
* CatSmile: One of Sachi's more common expresses is a somewhat subtle cat smile.

Front Wing originally announced a release date of the localization for August 2017. Things, however, would not turn out that way. Despite supposedly finishing script of the localization fairly early on the project faced roadblock after roadblock in the technical department, and the release ended up getting postponed time and time again. Eventually, in February 2021, the Vita port was officially cancelled, with the writing having been on the wall for some time at that point. As of this writing the Steam version of the localization been languishing in DevelopmentHell for close to seven years, and while it is supposedly still being worked on, a final release date remains unannounced.

''Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo'', roughly translated as ''Wheel Country, Sunflower Girl'', is an {{eroge}} developed by [=Akabeisoft2=].

* HasTwoMommies: [[spoiler:Ken, and also a mommy in the form of Miina. Or at least that's how Saburou tries to sell the idea to Houzuki when he shows at the house with baby Ken and suggests they all raise him together.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Saburou]]''': "I don't think there'd be anything more wonderful than having them ask us which daddy gave birth to them."
-->'''[[spoiler:Masaomi]]''': "I am not sure I share your sentiments."
** [[spoiler:He goes along with it in the end, of course. He and Saburou both raised Ken at different points in his life.]]

* GagBoobs: Evidently any weight accumulated by Sachi due to her lazy lifestyle went to her breasts.

* InnocentCohabitation: Not having a place of his own to stay, he moves in with whatever girl he's rehabilitating. This causes some misunderstandings with others when he's living with Sachi, who's rather... [[TheTease aggressive]]. And, of course, you can make it not so innocent...

* ConversationalTroping: WelcomeToCorneria, BandageBabe[[note]]Kenichi sadly admits he isn't moe enough to pull it off[[/note]], and {{Tsundere}}, among others.

* MoralDissonance: The plan to [[spoiler:rescue Natsumi]] could very well have resulted in [[spoiler:the police opening fire on the crowd]] if they hadn't gotten lucky. Granted, [[spoiler:due to capital punishment being banned, Natsumi's public execution would have greater ramifications than "merely" Natsumi's death]], but the willingness to put a bunch of nameless civilians at mortal risk for the sake of one named character is a bit discomforting.

* FanNickname: The Higuchi family is sometimes called the "Ero" family in China because of the Japanese Kanji could be rendered as such. Houzuki is called "[[Creator/NorioWakamoto Gov. Wakamoto]]".

%%** TheLeader: Kenichi/[[spoiler:Ken]]

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: In the [[WhamEpisode final chapter]] of the visual novel, [[spoiler:[[EvilMentor Houzuki]] has [[ProneToTears Natsumi]] on [[DisproportionateRetribution death row]] in order to [[GambitRoulette enact his plan to make capital punishment the newest sentence in the already cruel national justice system]]. Armed [[SecretPolice Public Security Police]] officers swarming in the hundreds, locking down the town and cutting off all access/communication to the rest of the country. There is no chance that help from the government will [[RaceAgainstTime arrive in time]] to stop the rogue [[{{Ubermensch}} Special High Class Individual]] from executing our leading lady. Standing against them is [[TheHero our hero]] with his friends: his odd [[BrotherSisterIncest sister]], the white-haired genius [[CloudCuckoolander Cuckoolander]], a GenkiGirl painter, and the local {{Tsundere}}, who is an aspiring cook.]] Refer to FiveManBand while you're here.
