He will not involve himself in anything he finds uninteresting.

Genbu of Earth. Yasutsugu is an onmyoji from the same clan as Yasuaki in the prequel. He is neutral in the governmental power struggle, but favors the emperor.

One rainy day Nozomi Kasuga and her two friends encounter a strange boy at their high school, who sends them hurtling across time and space to a place in another world called Kyo. This place bears a strong resemblance to Kyoto at the end of the Heian period, where the Minamoto clan (Genji), led by Minamoto no Yoritomo (based on the historical Minamoto no Yoritomo), is at war with the Taira clan (Heike), led by Taira no Kiyomori (based on the historical Taira no Kiyomori). The Heike hope to defeat the Genji by releasing vengeful spirits (onryo) to disturb the Earth's natural flow of energies and to terrorize the land. The boy that Nozomi met is revealed to be the human form of Hakuryu, the White Dragon God said to protect Kyo, whose powers have greatly weakened due to the presence of the onryo. Nozomi discovers that she has the power to seal the onryo as Hakuryu no Miko (Priestess of the White Dragon), and she allies herself with the Genji in order to seal the onryo, restore Hakuryu's powers, and return home to her own world.

Chosen by the god called Hakuryu (White Dragon) to be his priestess, she is brought to a strange world where the Genji and the Heike wage war with one another. In order to return home, she must fight alongside the Genji against the Heike. Having obtained the power to cross time, she is determined to save those friends she loses in battle.

- Masaomi Arikawa: Nozomi's childhood friend and classmate, and Yuzuru's older brother. A charismatically bold and reliable young man. He is separated from Nozomi and Yuzuru when they are sent across time and space, and the only contact Nozomi has with him is through her dreams.
- Minamoto no Kuro Yoshitsune: A general of the Genji army. Called "Kuro" (rather than "Yoshitsune"). He initially opposes Nozomi's wish to fight, believing that women should not be exposed to the dangers of the battlefield, but readily accepts her when she can prove herself in battle.

- Ridvan: Nozomi and Kuro's sword instructor. Sometimes called a tengu of Mt. Kurama. He gives off a silent, dark, cold impression, but he is in fact very gentle and kind.
- Kajiwara Saku: Younger sister of Kagetoki and only a year older than Nozomi, yet very mature. She is the Kokuryu no Miko. She is romantically involved with Kokuryu until the day he mysteriously disappears.

Because of Harukanaru Toki no Naka de's success, the game has give rise to a franchise including several sequels, numerous drama and music CDs, a manga series, two OAVs, a movie, and an anime TV series, and a live-action theatrical.
STORY:
On the first day of a new school term, high school student Akane Motomiya, her classmate Tenma Morimura, and their underclass friend Shimon Nagareyama are sucked into a mysterious old well. When they awake, they are in Kyo, another world that resembles Kyoto during the Heian Period. According to the young scion of the Star Clan, Fujihime, Akane is the Ryujin no Miko who has come to save Kyo from the ambitions of the Oni Clan. In this task, the Akane has the help of eight men known as the Hachiyo, and her friends Tenma and Shimon number among them. Initially, Akane is bewildered by her new circumstances, but she gradually comes to face up to her own destiny and understand the world of Kyo.
Based on the original story, Harukanaru Toki no naka de - Banue Yuugi is a new game created however as a monopoly version.
One day you wake up and realises there are the four of you, in order to prove that you are the real Miko, you have to try to win mini games and earn fuda and give them out as gifts to win trusts and intimacy from the Hachiyo and Fuji Hime. By the end of the period, the Hachiyo will cast their votes on which Miko they believe deserves to be the real one and thus remain.
The fun part is, you get to see another player travel around earning fuda, and you can take the Hachiyo that accompanies you to fight against that player and her Hachiyo. The Miko that was defeated will lose her fuda and the trust of both Hachiyo.
Characters that you can conquer: Minamoto no Yorihisa, Moriyama Tenma, Inori, Nagayama Shimon, Tachibana no Tomomasa, Fujiwara no Takamichi, Eisen, Abe no Yasuaki
Its the chibi version, and more a monopoly game than a dating sim. Although there are love confession scenes towards the end, but treat it more as a board game than the previous Haruka games. I personally liked it because I enjoy Monopoly very much.
