If you're new to the series, please note, The game orginally released in 2008 on the PS2, This remake Took the single game, and split it in two parts, and orgnally released on the Vita, "Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds" is only part 1, and part 2 "Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms" is just the rest, (not really a sequal" I have not yet finished the full game yet, so I won't be giving story notes yet, (I'll update this review when I fnish part1+2) But it should be noted that while this game has extra content, the translation seems a bit diffrent than the eairler release, (on ps3/psp/3ds) The wording has changed quite a bit, if it's for the better or worse will depend on your own peronsal prefrence. I've not finished either, but I kinda prefer the orignal text, The orginal had a slightly diffrent feel to the presentation of the text (not the tone of the story, but how it's presented.)
