Our take on Sakura Nova
The store page gives equal weight to training, fighting, magic, and humor, but provides little detail about how those elements function in play. Its strongest concrete detail is the trio of characters and their academy setting, with Japanese voice acting for the main cast.
What is Sakura Nova?
Sakura Nova follows Mikage, Kaguya, and Arisa at an academy for aspiring knights.
The three characters train and fight together while trying to overcome their differing personalities and cooperate. The story combines adventure, action, magic, and humor, with the group pursuing membership in the warrior elite.
