About Touken Ranbu -Online-
*Touken Ranbu -Online-* is an online browser game created by DMM Games and Nitroplus. The player assumes the role of a sage known as Saniwa to fight various enemies whilst building up a posse of “Touken Danshi” which are famous Japanese swords anthropomorphised into hot young guys.
The game’s popularity has been ballooning ever since it was released back in January 2015. Within just one week, the original servers had reached capacity and new user registration had to be suspended! Even now with server upgrades the supply of new user registrations has not been exhausted.
In fact, Touken Ranbu -Online- is so popular that it has fans buying Japanese sword-related books and going to visit sword-related exhibitions at museums, so you can really see how the game has launched a mini pop culture phenomenon all of its own.
