Ah, no. What happened was that this was originally someone else's game project. A different developer came up with the idea, designed the rough ideas for the characters, outlined the story, hired a writer, etc. They got partway through the project and then decided they didn't have the resources to finish it. So rather than cancel it entirely, they sold me the rights to the script and the background art.
Once it came into my hands I could edit things, and there are many things I've changed or added, but the bulk of the story and the core ideas behind it aren't originally mine. It's not really the kind of story I would normally have written on my own. So it's still a Hanabira project rather than a Hanako Games original, but it's not based on a book, it's just because it's partly someone else's game.
