Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2 is an otome adventure game developed by Ruby Party and published by Koei. It was originally released for PC, and has since been ported to PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2 is the 2nd main entry in the Haruka series, and it is a part of Ruby Party's Neoromance label.

STORY:
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2 takes place 100 years after the prior game (released in the Playstation One console), Harukanaru Toki no Naka de. Kyo, which resembles Kyoto in the Heian period, is in turmoil because of a power struggle going on between the emperor and the retired emperor, and the people of Kyo are falling into desperation, fearing the coming of the end of the world. Karin, a modern-day high school girl, is summoned to be the Ryujin no Miko who will save Kyo. However, there is already a Ryujin no Miko in Kyo who has been recognized by the retired emperor, and the eight men chosen as Karin's Hachiyo do not believe that Karin is really the Miko.

MAIN CHARACTERS:
- Karin Takakura: Karin is unvoiced in the game)
The chosen Miko of the Ryujin. Though Karin is known as the Hakuryu no Miko , she fills the same position as the heroine of the prequel game. Though most of her character traits are determined by the player, she is generally portrayed as a straightforward, generous girl who is not overly concerned with minor details.

- Minamoto no Yoritada: Voiced by: Shinichiro Miki
Seiryu of Heaven. Yoritada is a swordsman in the retired emperor's army, the Hokumen no Bushi. He is calm and dependable, but he is also reticent, and has a difficult time expressing his emotions. Having decided that he need only obey the commands of his master, Yoritada avoids acting on his own will.

- Taira no Katsuzane: Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki
Seiryu of Earth and the older brother of Taira no Chitose, the other Ryujin no Miko. A member of the Taira clan, a lesser noble family, Katsuzane works in the Imperial court. Sharp-tongued and short tempered, he is a lone wolf who avoids others. He and Isato are foster brothers, and while they were childhood friends, Katsuzane now feels indebted to Isato. Katsuzane dislikes court society, and scorns nobles who expect him to rise in rank because his sister is the Miko.

- Isato: Voiced by: Naozumi Takahashi
Suzaku of Heaven. Isato is an apprentice sohei (warrior priest), and though neutral in the governmental power struggle, he leans toward the retired emperor. An energetic youth, he is easily angered, but has an essentially kind personality. He likes looking after others and loves children. Isato has a cold side as well, manifested in his prejudice against nobles.

- Akifumi: Voiced by: Kouki Miyata
Suzaku of Earth. Akifumi is the current emperor's younger brother and the crown prince. Despite his high standing he is not at all prideful, and treats everyone he meets kindly. While on one hand he seems to be the ideal crown prince, gossip circulates in the court saying that his light-colored hair, reminiscent of the Oni Clan, makes him unsuitable. Akifumi also has a romantic side, and he lavishes praise on the main character, calling her a ten'nyo.

- Fujiwara no Yukitaka: Voiced by: Shigeru Nakahara
Byakko of Heaven. A successor of the line of Fujiwara regents, Yukitaka holds concurrent posts in the imperial court as assistant police commissioner and councillor. He sides with the retired emperor. He is dedicated to his work, serious, and has a thirst for knowledge. He strives to judge all things impartially. Though Yukitaka is generally calm and morderate in temperament, his past with Hisui can cause him to lose his cool.

- Hisui: Voiced by: Kazuhiko Inoue
Byakko of Earth. Hisui is the chieftain of a group of pirates who headquarter in Iyo (modern Ehime Prefecture). He is neutral in the power struggle, but the emperor better serves his interests. Despite his rough profession he is a well cultivated and refined cassanova. Hisui is aloof, refuses to be tied down by any obligation, and it is difficult to predict his behavior. He will not involve himself in anything he finds uninteresting.

- Minamoto no Motomi: Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi
Genbu of Heaven. Motomi is a nobleman of the Murakami branch of the Minamoto clan, and he works as a court official in the Ministry of Ceremonies. He sides with the retired emperor. A young man who deports himself with excessive modesty in order to avoid inconveniencing others, Motomi is unused to praise, and is bewildered when others do praise him. He is delicate and his feelings are easily hurt, but he longs to be of use to others.

- Abe no Yasutsugu: Voiced by: Akira Ishida
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. He is logical, and voices only facts and his true feelings, and so he tends to be perceived as being cold. Yasutsugu is a capable onmyoji, but he believes himself to be inferior to the previous Genbu of Earth, and this troubles him.

- Fujiwara no Yukari: Voiced by: Ikue Otani
A descendant of the Star Clan, whose duty is to assist the Miko. Misono is her older twin brother. Everyone except Misono calls her Yukari-hime. She is the one person who believes that the main character is the Ryujin no Miko from the very beginning. Yukari has a strong sense of duty and a serious personality that belies her age.

- Fujiwara no Misono: Voiced by: Ikue Otani
Like his younger twin sister, Misono is a descendant of the Star Clan. He is very protective of Yukari. Misono possesses a maturity beyond his age, and tends to be haughty towards people of lower social standing. He has little interest in assisting the main character.
