With the game localization nearing completion, JAST USA has now put up an official website for Yumina the Ethereal. Currently, only the plot intro can be read, but new content such as character info and sample graphics will be added soon. Yumina was a game with gameplay elements announced during Anime Expo 2010. The goal of the game is to win a school election, and to do so, the player must decide on where to campaign, level up their characters in dungeons and then have them fight it out with the other opponents, RPG style.

December 31st, 2011, by in Translation
Both JAST USA and MangaGamer have delivered their year-end updates. From the JAST USA end, it looks like Saya no Uta and Hanachirasu will be sold separately, although there will be a discount for buying them together. The two games along with Sumaga are scheduled to be out before Anime Expo. Meanwhile, MangaGamer states that they’re working on a 4th hard copy game from the J-List distribution deal, which will be a game they have already released that they are trying to fix up. Furthermore, they’re also aiming for a end-of-February or beginning-of-March release for DEARDROPS, while the trial version is currently out for people to try out the game. Dengeki Stryker and Harukoi Otome are still in translation, with the former aimed at a release by the time Anime Expo comes around. As for ef – the first tale, it’s still undergoing review by NNL of the latest build from minori, which if it passes, will allow the release to proceed.
