Snowmageddon.
Hana Ki Sou (花帰葬), sometimes translated as "Flower Funeral", is a doujin PC Boys Love Game released by Haccaworks in 2003. A voiced Playstation 2 port with new content was released in 2006; a PSP port followed in 2010. There is also a two-volume manga adaptation.

Kuroto was born to destroy the world; and so Hanashiro was born to save it. The only way Hanashiro can do that is by killing Kuroto. However, they one day meet and become very close, and Hanashiro becomes completely unwilling to fulfill his duty as the Savior. With conflict rising among the nations, the fate of the world has become unclear...

This game features examples of:

  • Dark Is Not Evil: Kuroto is dressed up in dark clothes and even his name has "kuro" (black) in it but he is the nicest person in the game who is kind to other people, truly cherishes Hanashiro and doesn't want to cause pain to anyone in the world.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: Kurotaka likes to call Hanashiro "Chibikko", which usually translates to "little kid", "squirt", etc.
  • Fate Worse than Death: In one of the bad endings Kuroto chooses to destroy the world. He and Hanashiro are the only ones left and there's nothing around them except the snow. Hanashiro dies and Kuroto can only walk through the snow alone for eternity.
  • Generation Xerox: Previous incarnations of Kuroto and the Savior look identical to the main characters.
  • Mercy Kill: Shirofukurou expresses interest in physically torturing Kuroto to the point where Hanashiro is forced kill him, to put him out of his misery. Thankfully, it doesn't go through.
  • Pintsized Powerhouse: Hanashiro. Even though he's technically still a child, he is incredibly strong because of his role as the Savior.
  • Psycho Supporter: Hanashiro is willing to kill anyone who poses a threat to Kuroto's safety. Even if it's just a harmless little girl.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Hanashiro is defiant, passionate and sometimes hot tempered; Kuroto is calm and is more likely to think things through.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Kuroto is snarky and can be rude at times, but he's a pretty decent guy.
  • Theme Naming: Kuroto and Kurotaka (black); Hanashiro and Shirofukurou (white). Shirofukurou (owl) and Kurotaka (hawk)
