OceanVeil have announced that they've released The Winter Cicada on their streaming platform. The series is a 3 episode yaoi OVA that was originally released in 2007, is set during the Meiji era and is loosely based on the manga "Embracing Love".
"A sweeping tale of love and loss, it unfolds against the backdrop of Japan’s turbulent transition from isolation to modernization, beginning in 1862 with the Expulsion of Foreigners movement. At its heart lies the story of Touma Kusaka, a visionary of the Choshu clan who dreams of opening Japan to the world, and Keiichirou Akizuki, a samurai of the Bakufu whose fate becomes inextricably bound to his."
