ChuSingura46+1 is an award-winning visual novel that puts you in the shoes of a high schooler who gets transported back in time into the body of a Samurai. However, in this timeline, all the Samurai are inexplicably female. You can get to know the “intimate” side of the characters from the classic Japanese tale of the 47 Ronin while playing a visual novel ー all without any of the dangly or rough bits of the original!
This visual novel has been adapted from a sound novel based on the actual historical facts of the Ako incident. In adapting the story to visual novel format, most of the main characters of the 47 Ronin have been turned into females, and parts of the core story have been polished into a lighter literary style that also incorporates fantasy elements.
The story goes something like this…
On the 14th day of the third month of Genroku 14 (1701 CE), an incident occurred involving the ruler of the Ako Domain, Lord Asano Takumi No Mikami shedding the blood of Kira Kousuke No Suke in the Corridor of the Pines in Edo Palace.
This incident that would later become known in Japan as the famous Ako incident.
Upon hearing of this incident on the same day, the fifth shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, became enraged.
It was ruled that that very same day, Lord Asano should be sentenced to seppuku, after which his lands were to be scattered and his house broken up. Meanwhile, Kira Kousuke No Suke received no no rebuke whatsoever, going against the tradition set by the first Shogun of punishing both parties in a fight.
Unable to comprehend this harsh and shocking punishment, the loyal Samurai retainers of Ako start to move to restore honour to their master by commencing a vendetta against Lord Kira.
Meanwhile, Fukami Suguha is transported from present day Japan to the Edo-period Ako domain, where he gets to know the Ako Ronin.
What will become of Suguha as he throws himself to the mercy of the cogs of history, and will he ever be able to return to his own time?

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I wish I had picked this visual novel up sooner. Consider this a written letter of protest. It is a travesty that this absolute gem of a visual novel has been discontinued for sale on Steam. ChuSinGura46+1 S is one of the most ambitious historical visual novels ever released: a serious reimagining of the Chusingura legend (the story of the 47 Ronin), the scale and depth of this work puts the vast majority of better-known VNs to shame. Its removal from sale is not the result of artistic failure, but to be blunt, neglect. Most glaringly, as others have pointed out, a deeply inadequate translation that failed to do justice to the original work. This is precisely why there should be a campaign for its reinstatement. Ideally alongside a revised, competent translation. Works like this deserve preservation and accessibility, not disappearance due to preventable localisation failures. If you care about visual novels as a serious narrative medium, ChuSinGura46+1 S is worth defending. For those who want concrete action: sign or start a petition, tag the developers, and push for a re-release with professional localisation. Do what you can to keep discussion around this title alive.6 found this helpful

Unfortunately, this game looks no longer for sale. I am unable to continue to Act 2 because the DLC is not available.

Drawing inspiration from the legend of the 47 Ronin, it doesn’t aim to be a strict historical retelling. Instead, it reframes the story through an alternate lens, blending time-travel elements, reimagined characters, and branching narrative paths into a work that feels both familiar and distinctly modern. The result is a story-heavy experience that leans heavily on its writing and structure to carry the entire game. The premise begins with a contemporary protagonist suddenly transported into the Edo period, where he becomes entangled in the political and emotional fallout surrounding the Ako Incident. From there, the game diverges significantly from historical expectation, most notably by reinterpreting the legendary samurai as female characters. This creative decision shapes the tone of the entire experience, allowing the narrative to explore not only themes of loyalty, vengeance, and honor, but also interpersonal relationships and emotional conflicts that are given gr…
