Hakuōki: Otogisōshi (薄桜鬼〜御伽草子〜, Demon of the Fleeting Blossom: Fairy Tale Book) is a series of 3-minute long episodes about the Hakuōki characters in a chibi format (the 'super deformed' style of drawing characters with oversized heads[1]). The story offers a look at what a typical day could look like if the Shinsengumi did not have to deal with difficult situations.
The color palette is very bright in contrast to the original Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan (Demon of the Fleeting Blossom: The Tale of the Shinsengumi), the events mostly happen during the day, each character's simplified outfit has a distinct color that stands out as well as their big eyes.
